There’s one school of thought that says the federal government is run by evil monsters. Another that it’s run by bureaucrats who have no clue about what their organization actually does. Or how anything works.
And Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle strikes me as having absolutely no clue.
Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle says she has no plans to resign, even after the stunning revelation that the agency decided not to guard the roof from which Thomas Crooks opened fire on former President Donald Trump because it was too slanted.
“That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” she told ABC News in a startling admission.
“And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside,” she told the outlet.
Social media is full of memes of sloped roofs.
Secret Service personnel obviously do deploy, and in that particular setting, did deploy on sloped roofs. This is a dumb excuse by a dumb person told to a dumb media which is eager to accept any excuse that it’s given. But the only question is whether Cheatle knows she’s lying or her ample experience at PepsiCo and sucking up to Jill Biden left her with little time to figure out how anything in the field actually works.
Sure, people are making fun of that one particular member of Trump’s protective detail who can’t seem to figure out how to holster her gun, but give her twenty years and she’ll be running the place.
If you think I’m joking, you’re not very familiar with the Federal Government 3.0.

Some Sefret Service might as w ell had no one there to stop this Assination Attempt
john blackman says
these are the cretins along with their cretin in chief who inhabit the corridors of power. kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy . the buildings were to high as well , wouldnt want them to injure themselves . the shooter had no problems with the slope , but the security detail couldnt deal with the danger ?!
LC says
BULLSIT (<– you know where to insert the H)
Could have placed a secret service sniper up there, because it would have been identified had a proper survey of the location been done before Pres Trump arrived.
Siddi Nasrani says
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is Big Chief Clown & The United States Secret Service Agency is the Circus.
She is not fit for purpose, sack her, talk about being a stupid, cretinous idiot. She is a dangerous not an asset.
Domenic Pepe says
President Trump needs his own personal security staff.
The US Secret Service cannot be trusted … they are either corrupt or incompetent.
The US Secret Service under its leader Kim Cheatle has a new objective … DEI protocol ….
not protection …..
The head of the US Secret Service Kim Cheatle must be fired immediately and her DEI hires must also be booted out.
Biden appoints a female woke leftist DEI devoted democrat to the head of the US Secret Service.
She considers it her main responsibility as head of the Secret Service to hire and increase the number of females, gays and Trans, etc.etc.etc. as opposed to finding the toughest and smartest and bravest and most courageous to protect the former President of the USA and the 2024 Republican US Presidential nominee.
Talk about being a depraved psychopathic berserk nut job slut … Kim Cheatle Head of the US Secret. Service.
Cassandra says
When I read that there was security inside the building I realised these bureaucrats are not only incompetent and contemptuous of ordinary people, they are downright evil. As if people aren’t going to see through the mind boggling idiocy of having security inside when the target is going to be outside!
K.F. Smith says
Secret Service Director Claims She Couldn’t Stop Assassination Because SHE WAS IN ON IT.
Law enforcement was inside the building.
Crooks was seen on the roof, and his presence there was reported to law enforcement.
Crooks was a decoy.

The FBI and the SS are now a combination of the Keystone Cops and Goodfellas.

Affirmative action in action
Kasandra says
So let’s see if I’ve got this right. Secret Service agents are supposed to take a bullet for their protectee but going onto a gently sloped roof is too dangerous for them. Have we reached peak stupidity yet?
Old Fogey says
The Patriot Act strikes again. For all the shortcomings on display of the Secret Service, and all the times we have reasonably asked why it fails at its job, nothing tops letting “Doctor” Jill Biden get a DEI hire to lead the agency because she liked an agent on the Vice Presidential detail. And for that agency leader to offer such a preposterous explanation, clearly contradicted by facts on the ground, suggests that there was more than incompetence on display in Butler, PA, last Saturday, and that the Biden regime is, once again, rubbing our noses in their evil and out inability to act against it.

who cares if USSS fails with Joe Briben – the devil cares, the swamp cares, the deep state that installed Joe Briben in their vile demonic global coup d’etat cares – then Cackling Kamalalala will be their Stooge Puppet Commander in Chief –
Nov 5 and January 2025 cannot come fast enough –
President Trump and his family will have to remain in a bubble for the next 5 years –
Angel Jacob says
I am willing to rent my surveillance camera drones to SS for free.

One word: astounding. People like her are running the country. One word for that, too: horrifying.
Siddi Nasrani says
Your quote, “People like her are running the country.”
That should be , people like her are ruining the country.

That’s one of the dumbest things I ever heard. For one thing, most roofs have some kind of slope, even “flat roofs” have a slight slope, so water (hopefully) drains off.
It’s true that sloped roofs can be dangerous, there was a Mexican worker who fell off a neighbor’s sloped roof some decades ago and died. But that was a rather steep slope, this roof was minimally sloped.
THX 1138 says
Was this Mexican worker drinking tequila? Or maybe he couldn’t read the sign in English that said, “Very Steep Slope — Don’t drink tequila and climb”.
FDTS says
Take a look at where the counter sniper was located. Yup, a sloped roof. That makes her excuse the lamest ever.
internalexile says
So, people were inside, and no one heard someone on the roof? Have I got that right? Keystone cops does kind of describe it.
MuggsSpongedice says
The incompetence can’t be worse other than it was a complete set up with a Manchurian Candidate.
The snipers that got the assassin were on a sloped roof!
Dan Bongino TARES into Secret Service Over Trump Shooting
As Dan Bongino points out
They knew the shooter was on the roof
26 minutes before he opened fire
Why did they even let President Trump on stage?
They should have whisked him away in the SUV’s
Balls out of there sirens a blazing!
Manchurian Candidate and a set up
Like Dallas 11/22/1963!
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Muggs !!!
dani says
this cheatle clown was not a ‘diversity’ hire, nor was she chosen due to merit. She was selected because she is a FOJ – friend of jill biden – ya know, the shrew woopie goldberg said “is a helluva doctor”
FDTS says
That buffoon is claiming it was too dangerous to put agents on that roof? Well, I guess if the agents are short dumpy women it may be a concern. The solution to that problem is to have the proper fit, trained, personnel assigned. Until DEI, setting up a post on a roof has never been a problem. The USSS is run by a clown.
Sword of The Spirit says
Sloped roof? It was like a 3:12 pitch
TruthLaser says
I walked on sloped roofs at age thirteen. I do not buy that trained Secret Service agents would have a problem doing the same. DEI policies suggest DIE policies for America. This time, DEI almost reprised the IDEs of March.

Spurwing Plover says
No more excuses this whole thing was a Attempt by UN/CFR/DNC Globalists to Eliminate Trump and it failed
Algorithmic Analyst says
Someone pointed out a good historical analogy, to the “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” incident.
