to investigate the security failures that enabled the assassination attempt ?

Just curious…

I see the DHS/SS bosses have already blamed the local authorities ( you know - the folks that democrats have been defunding) for not securing a roof top 150 yards away in clear view of the podium because “it was outside of the perimeter”

I mean ###? You’d think that’s something you might double check?

And who decided that hiring the security director from Pepsi (yes - the soft drink company) to run the secret service was a good idea anyway?

There is only one acceptable answer and that is there aren’t enough trained resources assigned to do the job. And they need to fix that yesterday. Blaming the local police is total CYA.

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. I just think it’s total incompetence emanating down from the top

Regarding the USSS Director, I'm not qualified (and I'm reasonable sure you aren't either) to pass judgement on her qualifications. That said it's real lazy to be all like WHO HIRED SOME SOFT DRANK SECURITY GUARD TO RUN THE WHOLE SS! Her resume seems pretty darn good to me. Sorry....hopefully good facts don't get in the way of your scorching hot take on this matter but here is her bio:


Kimberly Cheatle is the 27th Director of the U.S. Secret Service, sworn in to office September 17, 2022. She is responsible for successfully executing the agency’s integrated mission of protection and investigations by leading a diverse workforce composed of more than 7,800 Special Agents, Uniformed Division Officers, Technical Law Enforcement Officers, and Administrative, Professional, and Technical personnel.

Prior to her appointment, Ms. Cheatle served as Senior Director in Global Security at PepsiCo, where she was responsible for directing and implementing security protocols for the company's facilities in North America. Her role at PepsiCo involved developing risk management assessment and risk mitigation strategies.

Before joining PepsiCo, she served with distinction for 27 years in the U.S. Secret Service, most recently as Assistant Director of the Office of Protective Operations. In this position, Ms. Cheatle managed a $133.5M budget and collaborated with ten operational divisions and the Technical Security Division to research, develop and deploy technologies that reduce risks to protectees, protected facilities, and protected events.

Prior to serving as Assistant Director, Ms. Cheatle served as the Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta Field Office, providing oversight for all mission related investigations, protective intelligence and protective visits in the state of Georgia.

Ms. Cheatle was appointed to the Senior Executive Service (SES) in February 2016 as the Special Agent in Charge of the James J. Rowley Training Center (RTC). There she directed and coordinated all aspects of training and career development for the organization, later serving as the Deputy Assistant Director for the Office of Training.

Prior to her SES appointment, Ms. Cheatle was the Special Agent in Charge, Office of Strategic Planning and Policy, where she developed and deployed an innovative web-based communication platform designed to promote open and transparent communication within the organization

As you know (but apparently others are not aware), America (also Europe) is filled with lousy managers that boast spectacular resumes. No organization will publicize a resume that makes their top manager sound like a dung beetle, so there’s that.

One example of a high profile failure that has a great resume is Disney CEO Bob Iger. Iger was a former Disney CEO who was considered successful before leaving Disney in 2020; he returned to Disney’s CEO job after his successor in 2020 was fired.

Iger set up Disney for failure back in 2020 when he presided over Disney’s corporate direction to transform Disney’s products from overwhelming entertainment to products which integrated ‘social messaging’ into them.

Iger’s glowing resume at the time he left Disney the first time in 2020 did not capture the massive strategic blunder which he initiated and nurtured prior to 2020.

It’s about performance; commonly bad leadership does not become obvious until some time after the bad leadership-driven initiatives had time to fester.

Secret Security’s Kim Cheadle must wear the manifest failure which her team displayed on Saturday. Her only escape is if she can testify (and back up with e-mails / documentation) that Mayorkas didn’t allow her to do the job properly.

Establish a high ground position within 150 yards and clear line of sight to the leading presidential candidate (and former president) because its “outside of the perimeter” to her resume?

Hire some one from a cigarette company, an oil/mining company or a defense contractor. That’s where the real hardcore security work is done.

Dude. Are you seriously defending her after this debacle? A 20 yr old kid, with no military training, outsmarted the secret service and fired 8 rounds before a local police sniper took him out.
She should resign immediately. Obama head of ss resigned after a man jumped over the White House fence with a knife.

before assigning blame, but thankfully Mayorkas didn’t say the perimeter was secure.

I mean we’re only talking about one guy breaching the perimeter and he was not a got away. Right!

This was too huge of a security screw up for the facts not to be ultimately determined, but until then, in fairness to the SS director and even Mayorkas, calls for either to be fired are premature.

Mayorkas however should have been shitcanned long ago for his BS re: the border.

Working at the SS for 27 yrs doesn't mean much either apparently.

What qualifications do you expect someone like this to have? Perhaps you should get involved in hiring the next candidtate.

You've seemed to move the goal posts on this one, and fairly quickly.

Making mistakes does not always = unqualified. Big difference between being unqualified, and unsatisfactory job performance. You know that though I'm sure.

The director of the secret service:

"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. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside,"

That makes zero sense with 2 counter snipers clearly stationed on top of the sloped roof behind the stage

team. I’m happy for you to try and fact check that.

She did serve on the vice presidential protection team during the Obama administration when Joe Biden was vice president.

I happen to think that the Director of the Secret Service should have at least some experience serving on the “A team” before being promoted to assistant director of protective operations or otherwise. And being the head security guard for Pepsi is no substitute. My opinion and please feel free to disagree.

And if the next trump administration appoints McDonalds head security guard director of the secret service, I’ll say the same thing.

played in the NFL. Not all players make great coaches, so that arguement could be made both ways.

As a Director of the SS she has far more responsibility for oversight than just protecting a president or current presidential candidates. That responsibility extends to foreign diplomats, families of all of the aforementioned, and other political figures.

SS also has responsibility for the US financial infrastructure as well as other critical infrastructure.

My point is I would think be safe in assuming that her actually drawing up a plan to protect a given presidential candidate doesn't happen. I'd think in that type of organization there is someone else more directly involved with and responsible for that.

Wouldn't make sense to just hire a person with actual presidential security detail experience as I'm not sure those qualifications alone would be enough to run the entirety of that organization.

Not saying she shouldn't be held accountable, just also not sure I'm ready to say she wasn't a qualified candidate because she physically hasn't protected, in person, a sitting US president or presidential candidate.

Dude if you think that was a “mistake” you’re an idiot or willfully ignorant. That was straight up neglect or something worse. I’m not making accusations yet but there is no way that kid got on the one roof that didn’t have a sniper. People saw the kid 30 min before he shot. How do you explain that?

Knowledge about the day to day duties of the SS Director has no relevance about whether or not the SS director’s team had an epic fail.

Ms. Cheatle’s SS had an epic fail. No one cares about whether the organization of SS HQ’s Friday afternoon ice cream parties are delegated among subordinates in accordance with the SS HR Department’s personnel rotational guidelines.

It’s about selecting and holding accountable the people who do those things.

If she’s afraid of a 2 and 12 metal pitch roof, buys that lame ### excuse from her subordinates, and tries to convince the American People that it’s a legitimate reason for failing to protect the former and next president of the United States, then she has no business in that job.

She belongs in HUD or some other meaningless government agency pushing papers
