Vice President Kamala Harris was less than 20 feet from a “viable” pipe bomb on January 6, according to a new report from Homeland Security’s internal watchdog.
The Office of the Inspector General released its report on Friday detailing the Secret Service’s preparation for, and response to, the events of January 6, 2021. Five people died and hundreds were injured in the Capitol assault, where rioters aimed to prevent the certification of the election for President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Among the shocking revelations was that Harris, then vice president-elect, was within close range to a “viable” pipe bomb that Secret Security had missed in a security sweep.
“The pipe bomb had been placed near the [Democratic National Committee] building the night before”, the report states, but Secret Service personnel did not identify it during their security sweep on the morning of January 6.
We as a country need to understand that to these MAGA weirdos, violence is acceptable and even encouraged.
We also need to figure out what Trump broke in the Secret Service and fix it, because this shit is pure incompetence.
CPAC had a banner that started “We are domestic terrorists”. They’re softening the word because they keep filling the role
“Softening,” my ass! They simply mean it literally.
By the way, the banner said “we are all domestic terrorists.” No exceptions: every single CPAC attendee is literally a member of a terrorist organization.
Call me. 😉
But just on paper, then, right?
It’s extremely obvious that Trump values loyalty over competence. I seem to remember that he gave key posts in White House security to the people who had been in his private security detail beforehand. People like Keith Schiller.
It would also not surprise me if he got to hand-pick his Secret Service detail to be people who he could get along with (i.e. people he felt were loyal). We may find out in a few years that Trump deliberately picked the most loyal ones, who also happened to be the most incompetent, and is partly responsible for their lapses. That is, if we’re allowed to. If Trump wins, he’s gonna take his Sharpie to all this and we’ll never find out how it all really went down.
Yeah. It shows his lack of intelligence too. Would you rather be protected by a yes man. Or… someone trained to fucking protect you that cares nothing about you and only about protecting their package. I’ll take option B 1000000% of the time. Thanks.

Wow. You’re just going to ignore George Soros’ role in all this?
What are you trying to cover up?
snopes debunked the Soros stuff.
Yeah - under threat of vaccination from Fauci
DOAyOURa ReSEARCaH!
They don’t care
“So we should investigate it then!”
“NO!!! Not like that!”
Diaper tyrant didn’t break anything that wasn’t already decades in the making of its decay by the very same fucknuts currently steering his slobbering ass around.

What part of that was an isolated event predicated in no part by consistent efforts to divide and diffuse the general public?
I don’t understand what you’re asking or why.
During slavery and Jim Crow, violence was
acceptablethe way it was done. So these people continuing that thinking really shouldn’t surprise us.I mean it was surprising to me, until I put it in the context of history. The US right wing has always relied on violence and they pass that mentality down. Seems outrageous to the rest of us, but to them it’s just a tool and the way to do things. Which is why they project of course.
I think calling them weirdos at that point does a disservice to weirdos. Someone setting up pipe bombs during an insurrection is a terrorist. Anyone supporting them is a terrorist as well… That makes MAGA a terrorist organization.
Also, here’s what Trump broke… It should be noted that Murray was involved in the investigation of the Jan 6th texts and emails that were deleted shortly before his retirement…
My personal opinion… Someone said “Walk away or this will get really messy for you.”
Yeah, but (as a weirdo myself) I think we should take one for the team, since – weirdly, unlike “terrorist” – it actually manages to stick and piss them off.
Correct, hit them wherever it hurts.
You’d think that being called a terrorist would be worse. However, I have read a lot that child-like insults actually hurt more than mature ones. We established them when we were children, so they’ve been with us longer and carry more emotional weight. So it’s technically more effective to call someone buttface instead of shithead.
Just look at their commander-in-cheetodust and his tendency to call his opponents names like “Sleepy Joe,” “Crazy Nancy,” or “Lying Kamala.”
