Well…you can make a statement like that about “superior records.” But it is just your opinion in a universe of opinions.
Critical thinking.
This is the way.
Is Biden being unfit to perform his duties as President an opinion?
LOL…Fascism is explicitly a far-right ideology. Please see the definition.
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism, fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum.
So, what you state doesn’t make sense.
As a matter of fact…it is. You nor I have all the facts or evidence to make that determination. So, we share opinions.
Someone has the facts…but we don’t.
You can’t just cherry pick facts. She did work as Head of Global Security at PepsiCo…AFTER serving in SS for 27 years.
Plus…she may have been the best choice.
Fascism can be implemented by far left or far right. It's actions that define fascism.
Cherry-picking facts is what this forum does best lol
Here’s my reporting on why the Secret Service did not shoot until AFTER the shooter engaged and some context about the House Republicans’ investigation already underway (months before Trump’s assassination attempt) into whether the agency’s DEI policies are affecting its readiness.
The blowback against the Secret Service started within the hour of the assassination attempt and continued even after Trump and other credited the agency with saving Trump’s life by quickly killing a shooter crawling across a nearby rooftop.
But a source within the Secret Service community tells RealClearPolitics that the agency rules of engagement in this situation are to wait until the president is fired upon to return fire.
“You want to take a shot then find out the guy was holding a telescope?” the source suggested. “The Secret Service is by nature reactive…and you better be right when you do react or you’re f-----d.”
The Secret Service protocol requires that a counter sniper aware of a potential shooter to radio directly to intelligence division team to respond and investigate. In this case, the investigation may have been cut short by the shooter firing his weapon, so the counter sniper then fired as quickly as possible in return.
The source praised the counter sniper who acquired the target and responded within three seconds, calling their performance “incredible.”
“The counter snipers are highly trained and extremely accurate,” he said.
Others with law enforcement and military backgrounds want to know whether the Secret Service utilized drones, i.e. small unmanned aircraft systems, to provide detailed situational awareness. If the agency did not use drones, why not, these experts ask. The use of drones has been a controversial issue within the agency since at least 2016. Implementing drones would have provided detailed line-of-site analysis and aerial surveillance that would have easily identified the rooftop as a potential threat area.
“The USSS has access to all the best imagery and elevation data,” the military expert told RCP. “I’m not saying they didn’t [use drones], but it’s an open question.”
The once vaunted Secret Service lost some of its former respect after a string of fence-jumping incidents and other security lapses came to light during the Obama administration. At the beginning of the Trump administration, a senior special agent in the Secret Service came under fire for suggesting in a Facebook post that she wouldn’t “take a bullet” for Trump. Kerry O’Grady, the former agent in question, was placed on administrative leave but was allowed to retire with full benefits, which outraged many in the Secret Service community.
The agency, more recently, has come under scrutiny for its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, after a female agency attached to Vice President Kamala Harris’s protective detail and identified as Michelle Herczeg, had an apparent mental breakdown and physically attacked her senior officers at Joint Base Andrews before a trip. An agency spokesman called the issue a “medical incident,” but other members of the Secret Service launched a petition over the agency’s diversity, equity and inclusion hiring and vetting policies during the Biden administration, asfirst reported by RCP.
In addition, after the attempted assassination of Trump Saturday night, conservatives blasted Rep. Bennie Thompson, the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, for earlier this year introducing a bill co-sponsored by several other Democrats that would have denied Service Service protection to Trump if he were convicted of a felony. The measure never gained traction in the GOP-controlled House.
After the attempted assassination, which killed one innocent spectator and injured at least two others, Thompson tweeted that he is “glad that the former president is safe” and is “gratefully for law enforcement’s fast response.”
New info from a source in the Secret Service community — Trump’s usual protective Secret Service detail was worked so hard (working 7 days a week with no days off) that many of agents assigned Saturday were temporary replacements from different field offices.
This is not the usual protocol for sitting presidents and vice presidents but “typical” for former presidents, (although no former presidents have run again in modern history.)
“Trump has a permanent detail, however it’s much smaller in the amount of bodies,” the source said. “His detail has been worked so hard with all the travel that they’re working 7 days a week with shift changes. so HQ sends in temp agents to supplement - not a good scenario. Mission Failure, IMHO.”
(cont.) I’m told the only permanent agent from trump’s detail during the rally was SAIC (Special Agent In Charge) Kern, two sources within the Secret Service community told me. All others were temps. Pittsburgh USSS Field Office had a Jill Biden visit and designated a lot of resources to her, the source said. Also - the advance work only occurred one-day beforehand bc of a lack of resources.
Where were the resources?
The Pittsburgh USSS Field Office had a Jill Biden visit and designated a lot of resources to her.
“That is f—-ing unbelievable to me,” the source remarked.
Another Secret Service source says approval for the Counter Sniper Team was only granted the day before the rally - and that is not enough time for a two-man team to do their survey.
”That’s nowhere near enough time - a site like that should have had at least three Secret Service counter-sniper teams at the very least.”
UPDATED: I will continue to update my prior reporting and graphics as new information is provided. First, the counter sniper team is now being reported as members of the Secret Service (there were conflicting reports they were with another law enforcement agency). Second, it is being reported there was a second counter sniper team site as well though I have not confirmed this. The shooter position was obscured from the counter snipers by a growth of trees (the Google images may not show the current growth of the trees). Finally, the counter sniper teams were likely focused on potential threats much farther away than that building and assumed it was being watched by local police. This seems to be supported by the video that shows the sniper having to lower his aim just before shooting at the assassin.

Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.
Donald J Trump is alive today solely due to a bad wind estimate by an evil would be assasin.
As the graphics show the full value wind of just 5mph was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55 grain bullet two inches from DJT's intended forehead to his ear.
DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).
The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no "first shot" policy. The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.
In my old business of providing Diplomatic Security in two active war zones we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired. Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks. It looked like they had never drilled together because those responses should be effectively autonomic. Will there be accountability? That's not the Washington way.
Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day. Sadly nothing in Washington reflects that any longer. DJT is right to question the competence of those protecting him because yesterday they failed in almost every way. Nature abhors a vacuum and there are always other options.
Most importantly, as Americans let's come together and run a proper valid election so we can get back to what matters a merit based society that judges on character and skill. Nothing else.

It’s absolutely heartbreaking to know that a life was LOST yesterday during the attempted assassination of @realDonaldTrump
His name was Corey Comporatore. @Corey_Comper
He was a Fire Chief of Buffalo County, and a proud father.
He used himself as a human shield to PROTECT his daughter Allyson @CyannSkoog54167 yesterday and paid the ultimate price for it.
He loved the Lord, so he is in a much better place.
Corey is an AMERICAN HERO, and will NEVER be forgotten. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
It is surreal to know that could have been ANY ONE OF US.
Please if you can donate to this family in their most darkest hour and if you can’t say a prayer for them to heal from this most horrific tragedy.
A GoFundMe that has been officially authorized by Trump has been set up and is pushing now $3 MILLION raised.
God Bless this family! 🙏🏻

I'm trying to be good so don't ruin my chi by dragging me into another one of your loopy conspiracy theories. I've never been shy about expressing my opinions under this handle so it makes no sense why I would need another one.
An ex-president was almost killed yesterday and that's a sad day for our country no matter what side you're on. So give it a rest for a couple days without adding more nonsense to the board K?
Don’t worry TigerGrowls, the KGB (I mean the FBI) and the not so secret service will get to the bottom of all this. Because the democrats are all about protecting our democracy… just give it a little time and I’m sure we will know how someone with a high powered rifle was allowed to freely crawl up on top of a building (130 yards away) and nearly take Trumps head off if he’d been a better shot. It’s all about protecting our democracy so there will be full transparency 😉
This entire thing was planned.
Just like the bats and their cv19.
Can’t beat him? Kill him.
So creating a FAKE RUSSIAN COLLUSION campaign for multiple years by Left and Democrats by Hillary
Having 51 FORMER INTELLEIGENCE OFFICERS sign a lie posted in National News
Creating Lawfare against Trump for, things I have done many times in my life like him on a smaller scale
Trump is THE MAN
There is not another person that I know on EARTH that could have taken the blows your fanatics of hate and fear mongering could have done and the Man stands tall
I do share that Murder and Assassination is in the Playbook even if by Warped People
Keep Going With the Narrative You Closet Violent anarchists believe in and the worse may happen for the Trump Family
My mom used to say if you can't hurt the parents, THEN YOU HURT THE CHILDREN
We could talk all day about Elon Musk exposing the censorship and bias against the Republican Party and Trump but your tightly closed beartrap mind cannot be pried open to hear "TRUTH ABOUT X" or read Truth Social
Enjoy Your world I never plan to visit
EXPECTING ATTEMPTS NOW on his family in the worse of ways
and J6, Russian collusion, etc.
I turned on cnn and fox just for kicks today for probably 30 minutes. Saw both report that as well as his contribution to a left wing pac. I'm certainly not defending the media, bc they are the most responsible for the situation we find ourselves in, imo. Just sayin I have seen it on both channels in a short period of time.
Trump set up a donation site for the families of the victims in the shooting today within hours of an assignation attempt on his life.
Just like he helped pay off the mortgage of the wife of the police officer killed in New York.
Just like he personally called the mother of Jocelyn Nungary.
His desire to help people and his love for this county and its citizens is unparalleled.
What the left and their Pravda media have put this man through is just inconceivable and it breaks my heart.
But no matter what they do to this man he is never a victim, always a warrior.
Tomorrow there will be some interesting "water cooler" talk across the country..........
A Biden supporter posting an Alzheimer’s brain. That may be the thickest irony I have ever seen.Not as little as the right side of your brain
You were the kid that didn’t take losses well and wanted a participation trophy.
Agreed. Really sad to see someone as unhinged as @DW4_2016 is.
