"Fight, fight, fight!"

A year ago today, an assassin on a rooftop nearby to a Trump rally attempted to assassinate President Trump. A few brief thoughts:

Reports now that the Secret Service had intelligence suggestion Trump's life was in danger, but did NOT alert the agents responsible for security at the event. I want to dig in right here. How could they NOT notify the security team? I start with Trump Derangement Syndrome. All parties involved in the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Secret Service in D.C. were Biden Admin and Establishment types. You can't convince me otherwise. They saw Trump's rallies as a circus sideshow. A distraction. A waste of resources, time, effort, money, etc. Like, who has ever had this kind of a traveling sideshow and expected us to protect the head clown? For real.

Do I think they were part of a conspiracy to assassinate Trump? It more likely they were not than were so. I do think there was some measure of coverup. I don't exactly know why, but we do know that kid's body was cremated way too fast and I saw, within days, that roof being washed clean. Those two things, alone, insert doubt into the whole story. Do they prove anything? No. But they're goddamned suspicious as hell. If you asked me, do I believe it is an absolute certainty that there was NOT a conspiracy, I would say, no, there is now way it can be totally ruled out. After every corrupt thing that they did to try to stop him prior to, during, and after his first term, to say it is completely out of the question would be preposterous.

Let's look who was running the show: Secretary of Homeland Security "the border is secure" Alejandro Mayorkas, the single most contemptible member of the Biden Administration (my opinion, I know there are certainly others who some dislike even more), Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, a BIden loyalist who proved to be in way over her head, and Deputy and then Director Ronald Rowe, who couldn't possibly have show himself to be a bigger asshole than he did in the aftermath. There isn't a single one of them I would trust to ensure Trump's well-being.

Will we ever know the full story? Probably not. You would think we would know every single thing about the assassin. Why don't we? Remember the nonsense about not being able to get into his phone(s)? Something stinks. It could be a simple matter of them covering up their own incompetence. It could be something worse. It seems like some transparency would have been enlightening. How could we ever expect that from the same people who said the border was secure and that Joe Biden was mentally competent?
