    I honestly don’t get why this stuff is perpetuated by intelligent individuals. We hear repeatedly false info is created on social media platforms from Russia, China at the state level. and i anticipate countries Iran & NK. And now with AI, multitudes posting from their basement.
    We all should be suspect of new info, especially from social media platforms.

    It stuck with me during the covid crises; nurses reporting icu antivax patients were clinging to life, asking for the vax which was too late at that point. That’s just so sad.

    but, yes, we should confirm “facts” we get forward to us, found in x, etc. at least confirm it from Fox News or WSJ is a better start.

    US Justice Department says it disrupted Russian social media influence operation”

    Especially when you consider that there have been like two dozen interviews with people who have known crooks, and none of them Said "oh, by the way, did you know he's converting to a woman?"... You'd think it would have out there by now, and just not someones twitter feed, if it were true. The people who spread this stuff are just willing suckers and "useful idiots" at this point.

    9 days later.......and she says she is still waiting for the investigation to be completed in order to identify deficiencies.

    She should be imprisoned for stupidity....along with the idiot who hired her!

    This is what always, always happens at these political hearings.

    Some of the evasiveness is valid, like obviously she isn’t going to answer questions on the FBI investigation. So the politicians going down that line of questioning obviously either are idiots or trying to generate talking points. I saw a dem get pissed at her when asking if proliferation of AR15’s made the secret service’s job easier or harder. But she continually dodged answering that very simple question as well. Saw republicans asking for crazy shit like the names of the sniper team, like they would release that in a public hearing.

    I wouldn’t say this woman impressed in any way, but it was also sort of predictable. I would say she definitely should have had more answers ready to go about secret service issues. Like the original security plan, how it came to be the roof was unguarded, etc. She seemed pretty evasive even on those questions. I’m thinking they surely have a bunch of that sorted out, but just aren’t going to throw individual secret service agents and/or local police under the bus in a public hearing.

    Very interesting video. Raises a lot of questions that need to be answered by the SS and FBI.

    BTW, what sort of pathetic mope finds the video “funny”?

    Rumors that the Secret Service is forming an elite Sloped Roof Detachment.

    MTG is really annoying, and so are these hearings, which only accomplish sound bites.

    I like how the headline image of the video says “2 Shooters CONFIRMED”. Clickbait.

    Is there any evidence whatsoever to confirm or even suggest that’s what drove Crooks?

    And actually ... a threat to our lives? Have any of you really seen the mainstream American media claiming that Trump is going to kill us?

    MTG: "How did [Crooks] fly a drone over the rally area?"

    Cheatle: "I would have to check the timeline."

    MTG: "Why didn't you bring the timeline?"

    Cheatle: "I don't have all the answers on the timeline."

    MTG: "Do you have a timeline at all?"

    Cheatle: "I have a timeline that does not have specifics."

    Some pretty great stuff here:
    There were two shooters!
    He's transsexual!
    He did it because the media kept saying Trump was going to kill us!

    Not to mention:
    Biden did it.
    Trump faked it.
    Deep State did it.

    She also said she has not visited the site and did not speak to the few SS that were at the event until 72 hours after the assassination attempt.

    I just don't love MTG. Too much whining, which we already get enough of from the other side.
