Idiot of the Day

Just watch this clip from the Secret Service hearing this morning.

This woman is like her boss, 100% totally incompetent. I've rarely seen such incompetence on full display, except for Biden, of course.

She also refused to confirm that there was a single shooter but she did confirm that the secret service sniper only fired one shot...hmmm.

A few questions that remain, out of many, are:

-How many casings were found on the roof?
-Who made the explosive devices and from what materials?
-How in the heck can they claim there was one shooter when the audio shows at least a second shooter, in addition to Crooks and secret service...

This hearing obviously conflicted with her pedicure appointment. Very rude of Congress.

We all know this, and the damage control happening now, was an orchestrated hit and it failed because he turned his head. Even a blind person could see this.

She is sharp as a marble.

For a long term tenured USSS employee she sure don't know shit. Then again, CYA is a long valued tradition in Government service.

What a stone cold bureaucrat. If you think this clip is bad, look up Marjorie Taylor Greene grilling Cheatle at this hearing (the full video, not just a short clip). I would provide a link but YouTube won't let me copy and paste the URL.

I wish Mississippi's back benchers in Congress were as astute and assertive on national issues as MTG. Now cue the MJT haters.

We're in the middle of a month-long break from watching Youtube (offensive ads), and so if someone could provide a summary of what's on the video, I'd be grateful.

Honest question: Is there a company that trains these Federal workers and others on how to deflect, obfuscate, and not answer question when under Congressional interrogation?

They’ve now found a correlation by phone with the kid shooter and someone “near” an FBI building in Washington. Of course it was a planned assassination attempt. Somebody taught the kid to make explosives, also.
We’ve got to demand better real damn quick.

Utterly unqualified to be managing the Secret Service. It seems to be a common thread with all of Biden's appointments. They refuse to answer the questions of Congress.

This is especially true with the directors of Homeland Security, and the FBI, with the Republicans in charge. When the Democrats were running the bias J6 committee, they had plenty to say.

From what I understand, this woman is indicative of our military leadership, also. Yet, NATO continues to beat the war drum against Russia.

While saber rattle at China. If our military is as woke as reported, it will not go well for us in a real conflict.

She only answered one question. The question of whether she will resign or not. Rest was purely BS. Too bad PA doesn't have a conservative prosecutor to file conspiracy charges against her. You know that's the type of crap they've done against the former president. Put her in a criminal jackpot and I bet she spills all the beans.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I tend to agree with you. Trump was not supposed to survive this. A bunch of Boy Scouts could have done a better job of making sure this site was secure. How does a 20 year old kid get within 150 yards from an elevated position with a loaded rifle in broad open daylight?

3:35 for the oxymoron of the year: "I wish (Mississippi's back benchers in Congress ...... one could insert anybody, or anything in this space) were as astute and assertive on national issues as MTG.

4:06 - yes, she is incompetent. She actually answered a few more questions, basically a 'yes' here and there, but they didn't amount to much.

But to equate incompetent management of a federal bureaucracy to the 'type of crap they've done against the former president" -- I assume you mean the criminal charges brought against him for violating the Presidential Records Act, obstructing justice in a federal investigation, tampering with elections, attempting to bribe/threaten an election official, inciting an insurrection, and trying to overthrow democracy -- kinda hard to put her incompetent management in the same category. Would be hard to do even if she were the one on site calling the shots as to the security perimeter, placing responsibility among the local LEOs, etc (which she wasn't) but even then until there is a proven conspiracy the implicates the SS in a plot you can't get to your connection.

I'm cued alright! How can you possibly think she is astute? Assertive is putting it mildly. She is an arrogant, rude, loudmouth B! She is an embarrassment and disgrace to the State of Georgia and the United States of America!

If you have not worked in Fed Law Enforcement or the Intell Community, you'd think she's an aberration. She's not. She's the average mediocre type who goes into management at the FBI and USSS and ATF etc. Not smart. She graduated from Eastern Illinois University where she majored in sociology with a concentration in criminal justice. The mopes in Federal LE who volunteer for management were mediocre students in "criminal justice" who got tired of patrol and wanted to double their pay becoming "an Agent."

Not willing to sacrifice. Out for themselves and other "management." Ask a Street Agent. They will cough up a Street Agent or bottom ranked manager to sacrifice.

Go to look at the few reports where the agencies are forced to investigate why managers and Senior Executive Service members get away with murder. She won't resign, but will suddenly "retire" with impunity later. And their junior managers are equally weak, morally and physically.

So when you ask how a "Goon Squad" can arise in a local Sheriff's Office, ask yourself how mediocre desk riding managers in Fed agencies are easily able to shut out all outside oversight using "clearance" or "protection" or "sources and techniques," and are able to cover up all the fiascoes.

And the Street Agent motors on under these dunces. They are to take the bullet, while the empty suits as they are called take all the promotions and credit when things go good. And they hide under a rock with impunity when things go bad. NO leadership, with some rare, and greatly appreciated, outliers. They will tire a journeyman Agent and a bottom level Supervisory Special Agent AT MOST. Most likely, they will obfuscate, lie, destroy evidence, and issue boilerplate nothing for years and years. And no one will be fired or demoted.

Arrogant,rude and being a loudmouth B reminds me of leftist protesters behavior. Can’t stand the heat? Keep your ass out of the kitchen then. Typical snowflake comment.

I loved watching Senator Fallon from TX ask questions? I really found his telling how he re-created the same scenario in TX taking 16 shots at same level bldg etc, of which 15 were kill shots with one being the ear shot. He admitted the 20 year old was a better shot than him & had not shot an AR in over 6 years. I believe the shooter had help because it was no coincidence that there was no one checking explosives, snipers on the bldg, people allowed in restricted areas. That is not failure when additional request for additional security was DENIED knowing IRAN had ordered a hit on Trump! Kimberly Cheatle should have already been fired and criminally charged! IMO

July 22, 2024 at 5:29 PM, the key word in your post, concerning Trump anyway, is charges. This may come as a shock puddin, but a charge isn't a conviction. Would you care to try again, using fewer words?

Anonymous said...

Not only is she painfully incompetent, she has no self respect. If she did, she would willingly acknowledge being way over her head and step down. Her desire to keep her butt in the position is shameful behavior.

The democrats aren't concerned with protecting Donald Trump. Biden is back to calling Trump a danger to the nation. The democrats are the party of violence.

They set Trump up to get shot. They fully expected him to die that day. They didn't bother to take action against the shooter until after he got his shots off.

She is not incompetent. She is obeying orders.

100% chance the rally would have been postponed or shut down if Obama or Biden had been speaking.
100% chance the shot never would have been fired at Obama or Biden.
100% Biden said put Trump in the bullseye.
100% Bennie Thompson wanted to ban Trump’s secret service protection.
100% on January 20, 2017 the Washington Post headlined “The Campaign to Impeach President Trump has begun.”
100% leftist Democrats have weaponized the government against Trump ever since the January 20, 2017 Washington Post headline.

Democrats have successfully used chaos & lawlessness/crime to secure control of cities like Jackson for many decades, and Democrats have proven since January 20, 2017 they want nothing less than total control of the country as well. When Democrats don’t get their way, Democrats weaponize. We’re dealing with evil, so we might as well get ready for much more Democrat fueled immoral chaos.

Kimmy C’s defiant and dismissive demeanor is easily explained. This is not the hearing she was expecting to be attending on the Hill. She was supposed to be answering questions about how her agency allowed the assassination of a former president. She was supposed to admit to being incompetent, take the blame and resign. Instead, the kid missed and her mission failed. She is no longer a ‘useful idiot’. She is just an idiot and she knows it. She will not be rewarded by the party for her loyalty and will soon be out of a job. She has no future and is clinging on for a few more paychecks

Anonymous said...

I think some of you should have paid more attention to the questions. It was "showboating", not trying to find ways to prevent a future tragedy. It was obvious few of them understood local and state law enforcement have a "say" in "who does what".

Worse, some of the questions if they had been answered would give too much information to a smarter wannabe assassin.

Yes, she did herself no favors in responding to a hostile committee. That's the problem...attack mode rather than investigative mode.
 
Bashing the Secret Service that still hasn't lost a President since Kennedy isn't useful. It's a tough job. The Secret Service sniper obviously did his job in a very few heartbeats. The guys on stage did their jobs quickly.

The focus should be on what the congressionally mandated rules and regulations are and how they can be improved especially when there are boundaries and when local law enforcement is limited in their ability to police their areas.

Indeed, every community in which a candidate speaks, open carry is legal. And every place has some mentally ill loner who wants attention and to feel less powerless.

These members of Congress were trying to get attention for themselves not trying to learn if they can pass legislation to reduce/ prevent future mistakes.

So easy to attack someone with 20/20 hindsight. Everyone in life is one failure away from being labeled an idiot.

"Bashing the Secret Service that still hasn't lost a President since Kennedy"

Friend, it took an act of GOD for Trump to not be a dead man. It had nothing to do with the Secret Service. You should understand that, and you should stop singing their praises.

Anonymous said...

There was not only an unsecured roof vantage perch (which the shooter used) but also an unprotected water tower that was within striking distance of Trump's stage, as well. Cheatle could as easily enabled a democrat to be shot, so House oversight condemnation was remarkably bipartisan.

Anyone who entertains the idea that hundreds of highly-trained, very capable, and extremely intelligent people could - COULD, not "would" - engage in a conspiracy to do...well, anything, is an idiot. Anyone who actually thinks a bunch of ill-trained, incompetent people of barely average intelligence could engage in a conspiracy to assassinate a presidential candidate is too ignorant to be an idiot. And anyone who believes in such things as put forth by those seeking to use them for their own ends is a useful sub-idiot.

This is reminiscent of the myriad "conspiracies" that hoards of idiots (and those of lesser intelligence) dreamed up over COVID-19. There is absolute truth in the old saying, "Three people can keep a secret...as long as two of them are dead." And in "Don't look for a conspiracy when incompetence/idiocy is the plain and certain explanation." And see, Hanlon's Razor and its many corollaries and paraphrasings, along with Churchill, Heinlein, H. G. Wells, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

In the swirl of, what do we do now, after former President Trump was shot, I just got to know. Did y’all allow him to get his shoes before removing him from danger? Seems your first priority would be to get him out of danger as quickly as possible, not have a discussion about what to do next.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
