Meh. It’s not an act of honor or worthy of respect if it is only done after being forced into it.
US Secret Service director Kim Cheatle has resigned after security failures surrounding an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
“As your director, I take full responsibility for the security lapse,” Ms Cheatle said in a resignation letter to agency staff on Tuesday.
She had faced calls from both Democrats and Republicans to step down after a contentious House committee hearing on Monday about the incident.
Lawmakers became increasingly frustrated when she refused to answer questions about the shooting at Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this month.
For a few days after the assassination attempt on Trump, I took it for what it looked like. It was a loony, disaffected, young man – probably radicalized by toxic anti-Trump rhetoric – who acted out his hate trying to enter immortality. I don’t usually go for conspiracy theories – Occam’s Razor and whatnot.
But after the infuriating testimony of Cheatle, the missing recordings, the refusal to beef up Trump’s protection after repeated requests, the deliberately ignored perfect shooting platform, the encrypted comms, and more and more and more. I’m beginning to think there’s more to this.
Yup.
How about that “deadly flu” panic? The one which was required in order to change election-integrity rules thus allowing for un-monitored ballot drop-boxes, along with questionable “registrations” feeding Democrat vote-fraud?
That’s the very same panic where someone outlawed prescribing the cure. Because.
