Interesting quote from the FBI according to Business Insider:

"At this time, we have no indication of mental health issues," Rojek said. "Our primary focus is on the phone. We are working to get access to the phone."

No mental health issues? Sure, whatever you say, FBI. That seems believable. They're setting up for whatever political motive they're going to pretend he had.

I'm half expecting this bullshit soon:
"See? He was radicalized by the right wing! He shot Trump for not being right wing enough! Didn't you see the gun channel shirt? Trump has divided the Republican party! This is why you should only ever vote for career politicians and nothing should ever change!"

No one but people who already buy into the Regime propaganda are going to believe this horseshit. Half the country knows they just tried to kill Trump and nothing will convince them otherwise.

Here is an archive of the petition demanding a investigation for resignation for Kimberly Cheatle.

Text from that:

Kimberly Cheatle, 27th Director of Secret Service

• September 17, 2022 - present

The current Director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, stands accused by several Agency sources of misusing her position to perpetuate prohibited personnel practices in recruitment, selection, assignment, promotion, and disciplinary action based on demographics rather than merit. Specifically, Director Cheatle has been actively promoting the "30x30 pledge” which aims to employ a female workforce percentage of at least 30 percent by the year 2030. Director Cheatle was reportedly quoted stating that she would accomplish this initiative "by all means necessary”. Although Director Cheatle’s goal may have good intentions, unfortunately her misguided agenda has employed methods that have apparently resulted in female candidates not being properly vetted.

The double standard between males and females at the Secret Service is not only unfair but is also dangerous. This disparity has led to a number of serious breaches in security, which the Secret Service has managed to sweep under the rug from garnering media attention... Unlike the most recent incident on April 22nd of this year, regarding a female Special Agent assigned to the Vice Presidential Detail reported by multiple news media outlets (i.e. Washington Examiner; New York Post; Fox News, etc.) as having had a mental breakdown that involved bizarre and erratic behavior which quickly escalated into a physical brawl with several fellow detail agents who intervened and had to wrestle her to the ground and restrain her with handcuffs after she violently attacked her supervisor (a former Counter Assault Team Operator), beating him up in full public view at Joint Base Andrews (JBA) Airport, approximately just 90 minutes prior to the arrival of the Vice President.

SECRET SERVICE AGENT DETAINED AFTER MENTAL BREAKDOWN…

Multiple sources have corroborated that this agent has repeatedly demonstrated a history of poor judgement. Despite a plethora of outcries by Agency decision makers to disqualify this agent, due to performance and behavioral issues, she was not held to the same rigorous standards expected of all Secret Service Agent candidates during her recruitment, training, and eventual assignment to the VP Detail as a result of the 30x30 pledge. Most shocking is a report that this agent failed the situational judgement course, known as "Hogan's Alley", where agents are placed in a series of simulated ambush exercises and then evaluated on their ability to correctly discern between the "bad guys vs innocent civilians" in their decisions to shoot or not shoot pop up targets during various training scenarios. At the time, the Special Agent in Charge (SAIC) of the Rowley Training Center was Kimberly Cheatle, before becoming Director of Secret Service. Director Cheatle reportedly decided to not heed the warnings by the tactical range instructors and instead authorized this agent's graduation from training in support of filling the quota to support the 30x30 pledge.

At a time when the Secret Service is dealing with manpower shortages due to a attrition, there have also been a number of recent Secret Service incidents indicative of inadequate training, no doubt correlated to the fact that the Agency is struggling with an insufficient training budget to incorporate much needed for mock up sets for realistic simulated exercises (i.e. White House, Fence Line, etc). Agency sources attribute the issue to budgeted training funds allegedly being reallocated for recruitment, promotional testing, and executive leadership bonuses. As a result, this elite Agency finds itself using open fields and bike racks and relies on the creative minds of its law enforcement officers and agents to "imagine" the facilities they are tasked with safeguarding during training scenarios. Agency sources further corroborate the continued instances of fraud, waste, and abuse regarding the Secret Service's selective promotion practices under Director Cheatle's leadership are also being swept under the rug. The current promotion practice is arguably not in keeping with the Merit Promotion Process (MPP), in which millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent perpetuating the Agency's false narrative that promotions are based on a "merit based system", when in reality the promotions have been based on alleged "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)". This has been most recently demonstrated earlier this year by the fast track promotion of a female agent (with only 7 years of employment - too junior to qualify as a WHIP or Lead) who hadn't completed the standard phase 2 protection time required for promotion. This agent also benefited from the 30x30 pledge and is now a supervisor over more senior agents at the New York Field Office.

The Secret Service used to be an elite agency, known for its rigorous standards and impeccable record in keeping with its proud motto "Worthy of Trust and Confidence", which is emblazoned on the credentials of every Secret Service Agent. However, many are concerned that under Director Cheatle's leadership, the Secret Service has become increasingly vulnerable to potential insider threats that pose a risk to US National Security. This was most recently corroborated by the recent close of a two year Internal Affairs Inspection of a post detail female agent now assigned to the Washington Field Office. This agent also had a history of performance issues, and in response to her poor performance evaluation by her immediate supervisor she then made allegations of harassment against her supervisor chain-of-command that were quickly determined by Inspectors to be without any merit and the supervisors were subsequently cleared of the allegations. However, during this same investigation, this agent openly admitted to Inspectors that she secretly audio taped supervisors at work, as well as during protection assignments. And instead of investigating this agent's potential risk of being an insider threat (to verify if in fact she also secretly audio taped Presidents Obama and Trump during her protection assignments, as is rumored), Agency executive leadership reportedly turned a blind eye to this agent's blatant misconduct and tried to sweep the matter under the rug by engaging in a cover up to shield her from a thorough investigation and tried to maintain plausible deniability regarding her wrongdoing. Executive Leadership resisted taking appropriate investigative or disciplinary action, until one of her supervisors filed a whistle blower complaint which eventually resulted in disciplinary action being taken against her.

While male agents have had their security clearances immediately revoked and their employment terminated for far less infractions, Director Cheatle reportedly ignored the Inspection's briefing regarding the aforementioned whistle blower complaint and authorized this female agent to continue working with her TS security clearance fully intact following only a letter of reprimand and brief suspension because of the double standard in disciplinary actions concerning males vs females, no doubt attributable to the 30x30 pledge.

Reportedly, DHS-OIG has been monitoring many of these breaches in security but surprisingly has chosen not to take any corrective action and instead leaving it to Secret Service to police its own. Unfortunately, the Secret Service has a repeated record of failure in this regard and spends more time covering up the symptomatic incidents instead of fixing the underlying root problems.

In closing, a leader should be judged by their actions and results, not by their words or intentions. Therefore, this petition calls for an immediate investigation by the Congressional Oversight and Government Reform Committee to review the Secret Service's fiscal responsibility regarding its approved budget and uses of taxpayer dollars for recruitment, training, promotion selections and bonuses to executive leadership. Only then can the underlying root problems be fixed by holding Director Cheatle accountable, and demanding her resignation or removal if found guilty.

Your signature can help restore integrity and merit-based practices within the Secret Service which is a critical agency responsible for the safeguarding of our nation's security and protecting the lives of our leaders and their families.

Please sign this petition today!

Yeah for anyone still confused about the donation, you can look it up on the FEC website. It's the exact name, Thomas Crooks, and the exact same home address, 2506 Milford Drive. The source of the confusion is that he put down "Pittsburgh" for some reason, so that's what shows up when you just look at the search results without pulling up the actual receipt. Bethel Park is a suburb of Pittsburgh.

Lots of people list the nearest town/city on their addresses instead of the village/township/suburb. So long as the street address and zip code are correct, mail and stuff is still going to get to them. People especially do it if they live in places like Bethel Park, which is really more of a neighborhood of Pittsburgh (albeit unofficially) than anything else

It was bad, but not on this level. Political shitposting and shitflinging always happened, but back then (long before the current year+9) both sides usually returned to the negoiation table before things had a chance to get violent.

and now its like this world wide. Not as bad but still bad. Fucking bunch of people i knew were like "Oh thank god Lepenn didn't win France would be destroyed" " Oh thank god reform didn't win The UK would be destroyed" then the mf'ers have the gall to tell me that i'm Prone to misinformation cuz i disagree. They don;t see how radical and extreme they've become cuz they can't see through their own biases.

 

[chuddiebuddie]

Is Crooks deserving of his own lolcow thread now? No way there isn't a tonne of dirt on this sperg.

Your feelings are hurt because you're a gigantic pussy. It's pretty clear why the leftist hate exists.
What the fuck job makes you money as a 'registered leftist? You shovel mule shit, act as cum dumpster rent boy for faggot D.C. representatives, or clean Chuck Schumer's toilets?

We’re two sides of the same coin brother. I identify as an anarchist.

 

[FightenGnome]

Another video shows the crowd saw the shooter for at the very least a minute. This is starting to look more and more like the SS let this happen intentionally.

Cops aren't as competent as people think, what's more likely to have happened is they were given an order not to fire by the incompetent person in charge of this operation. I know there's videos of cops blasting people threatening them, but there are also videos where cops refuse to do anything until the situation escalates.

It's probable that they were told to hold fire because their boss couldn't make sure they weren't simply a civilian with binoculars, despite being told otherwise. There are people out there who'd rather take the risk than lose their job over blasting some civilian.

They're not the people that should be in charge of emergency management, but its possible that the person in charge was a diversity hire.

 

[Patroc]

This guy definitely had a discord where he was ranting on, usually found by now. The thought of being interrogated by the FBI is scaring some people.

 

[ibeatmywife]

When I got into politics in 2008 it wasn't anywhere near like this 2012 either. 2016 was the shift 100%

This thread is making me genuinely depressed when I read the twitter posts and general opinion of random nobodies posted. The Irreparable differences between "right" and "left" (us vs them) and genuine inability to separate politics from common life seems to be more extreme everyday. It feels like there the only final solution is complete civil war between the two parties. Democrats seem to have grasped that this almost sparked said event today with Biden immediately doing damage control and stating we should "come together" and "tone down the rhetoric used".

Am I wrong in feeling this way? Was politics always like this before 2016? Any thoughts regarding would be appreciated.

Eh it was always fucked up. I remember as a kid when 9/11 happened how much of a shit show the old Internet forums were. Even the Treyvon Martin shit people were going nuts on 789 Chan before hot wheels fucked it up. I wouldn’t worry about it too much man, at the end of the day we’re all Faggots who will become worm food sooner or later. This is probably the weirdest birthday I have ever celebrated. Keep your chin up and laugh at it all. Like Jim said once they can’t take away your laughter. That’s the one thing they hate, people laughing at all their retardation.

twitter is not real life. it's not like twitter in real life, and you should not let the dead internet full of bots pushing propaganda from every angle trick you into believing a fiction designed to make you so depressed you give up all hope of opposition to big daddy government/corporation/whoever stomping on your neck with a boot.

People on here were posting about him before it was officially announced, no? Besides, way back machine is forever.

It took a suspicious amount of time for the feds to release Thomas' name. I guess they're taking all precautions so their new Lee Harvey Ozwald doesn't get exposed.
