LOL

the USSS DIE director will only answer 4 question, to be submitted ahead of time, at the senate sub-committee hearing next week.

4 questions no more, all given at least 5 days ahead of time. How is that fucking even allowed?

edit: I duno how to embed tweets. Someone look up Mike Lee's Twatter account he's unloading on this cunt.

Sorry if late, but these tweets?

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle needs to step down immediately. Today’s (mostly) information-free briefing only confirmed that. What little information she gave us was at once deeply troubling and glaringly incomplete.

At least three of us — Senator Blackburn, Senator Cruz, and me — had sought recognition to ask questions and were in the cue when they arbitrarily cut the call short.

The Secret Service agreed to give us this briefing.

Normally federal agencies that agree to brief us will do their best to answer all of our questions, even if it takes a while.

Never — in my 13 years in the Senate — have I seen a briefing end after answering only four questions.

If I’m not mistaken, three of the four questions allowed were asked by Democrats.

So why hold the briefing if they weren’t going to tell us anything?

Why the HELL did Secret Service let Trump walk on stage before resolving the potential threat that they had by then identified?

How many requests that Secret Service assign additional agents to the Trump campaign have been ignored or rejected over the last two years?

Why wasn’t a single agent positioned on that roof?

Would Secret Service ever let Joe Biden walk on stage before resolving a specific, known security threat? Has that ever happened?

Which of its obvious failures will Secret Service try to blame on climate change?

What do these Secret Service failures say to America’s foreign adversaries? And what kinds of horrible things will they encourage?

Once the perception sets in that the security surrounding a presidential candidate can be circumvented this easily, should we expect see more assassination attempts?

Why isn’t President Biden taking action against his own Secret Service Director and Homeland Security Secretary?

If this incident doesn’t warrant firing some people, what does?

Were they trying to half-ass this? I’m not even sure this qualifies as a half-assed effort. Is there such thing as quarter-assing?

Why have we heard so little from Secretary Mayorkas? Shouldn’t he be anxious to call out and address failures within his own department?

As for President Biden, if only for purely political reasons, why shouldn’t he be expressing outrage over what happened?

Biden should be mortifiedly embarrassed that his own administration failed adequately to protect his opponent—something they had a legal obligation to do.

If anything, Biden — as the incumbent president — should err on the side of devoting too many resources to the task of protecting his political opponent.

Failing to provide adequate resources to guarantee the security of his political opponent does not inspire confidence — in Biden, in his administration, or in America.

It was always kinda there, the big issue is that a lot of the Republicans from the 2000s were often unwilling to speak on it openly since they had the awkward position of being people who generally legislatively supported the conflict as well as the one in Afghanistan. As time has gone on and more of the lawmakers from that era have retired, died or lost their seats more open discussion around saying how bad of an idea it was can take place.

I remember that honestly. But you had guys like McCain making sure everyone stayed the fuck in line. That's why they hate Trump so much. He was just a buisness guy watching the news. Seeing guys come home in body bags. Yeah he hates it. Even from a economic stand point, it proably did fuck with businesses at the time like his. Construction is massive no matter where you are. Cant do that in a war zone.

Like with the Afghanistan Withdrawal, the loss of African bases, the loss of embassies, the train derailments, rampant inflation, and everything else...

NO ONE WILL BE PUNISHED, HELD ACCOUNTABLE, OR EVEN BE REPRIMANDED!

That's the biggest thing about this administration.

Nobody is held accountable for anything.

Lady Pepsi will go on a few shopping trips with DOCTOR Jill while depressed hung-over Marines are forced to play her theme song as she walks around the mall, and everything will be just fine.

I think part of it was that they were told that they were practically guaranteed a comfortable life as an adult. They somehow deserved it, they were the most special unique snowflake ever. Then they grew up and reality set in.

Combine this with the idea of ‘if you don’t go to college and do 8 things outside of school and make a bad grade once then your life is over and you might as well an hero because your going to die poor and lonely’. How many of those people did ‘everything right’ and still get less than they were promised? Is it any wonder why they’re so fucking intolerable.

Everything is always somebody else’s problem, nigga you were the one who went to school to become a professional gender studies researcher. What, you think everything is just going to get handed to you?

You know what term I haven’t heard in years? Chicano, which is basically a ghetto way of saying Mexican-American. Is it no longer Kosher in the leftist sphere of influence?

My grandmother calls them Chicanos all the time, she has a weird way of saying it so I always thought she said "Jekanos" until I was like 15.

I never really questioned what it meant and chuckled once I looked up wtf she was trying to say.

This can be seen easily in the 2008 debates. Ron Paul was the one person who spoke out regarding the Iraq/Afghanistan war. This clip is a good example of how the party was in 08' (also bonus TYT). I also remember when Dr. Paul got boo'd for saying similar things but am falling short in finding them atm.

Thing is we were told the same things. We just didn't grow up in as nice of times. I think getting shafted for half your life tempers your expectations. We didn't go from the 90's to 2000's only going up. Once 08 hit, it was all down hill. Looking back, it was good in a way. We wern't spoiled.

Will the Russo-Ukrainian war end if trump gets elected because Putin knows that Trump won’t fuck around? Am I being optimistic?
Click to expand...
Undoubtedly. Putin only started the war because Biden was fucking weak after the failed pullout of Afghanistan. He knows what will happen if Trump gets in and things do not wrap up quickly, peacefully, and smoothly.

The decision makers who create disasters don't face any consequences for their incompetence and the people at the bottom are expected to pay for the mistakes of their superiors.

Who doesn't love the American government?
