Not to mention the Las Vegas mass shooting, among others.

...... how was would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks able to evade the Secret Service even after officers saw him acting suspiciously just outside the building from the roof of which he later shot Trump?
Why were police or Secret Service officers not assigned to prevent access to that roof?
Why was communication between personnel around the rally and the Secret Service command post so bad?

First, how did Crooks get to the roof without being noticed? Why were early reports of his suspicious behavior, including his observed possession of a telescopic sight, not followed up as highly concerning? Even though no rifle was seen, the telescopic sight should have produced an assumption that he might be a sniper.

Second, what went wrong with Secret Service command post and other communications? Why, when witnesses pointed out to police officers that Crooks was climbing a ladder with a rifle was Trump’s Secret Service detail not immediately notified?

Third, to how many protectees is the Secret Service currently assigned? This matters because the number of full-time protectees has grown in recent years, worsening strains on resources. This has led to a morale crisis and workforce attrition. That has further worsened the Secret Service’s protective supply-demand equation. Congressional action may be required to reduce the president’s role in deciding who should be entitled to 24/7 protection. Secret Service protection should be provided based on threat assessment, not the desire for a chauffeur service of earpiece-wearing agents.

Fourth, how has Cheatle’s heavy prioritization of diversity, equity, and inclusion affected the Secret Service’s recruitment and workforce? Congress should demand access to application and hiring records to see if staff were hired because they checked DEI boxes. Considering the Biden administration’s fetish for DEI and the importance of the Secret Service’s mission, it demands attention.

Fifth, what steps are being taken to ensure an incident of last Saturday’s kind does not reoccur?

It's just Vegas all over again. Nobody will ever know why. It'll just be "the guns made him do it, don't ask questions just support gun control" and everyone moves on with their lives.

When a shooting is done by a right winger we know within 45 minutes.

Or is this why it's Kamala?

If nominee isn’t Harris, contributions have to be refunded: Federal Election Commission - Washington Examiner | Trends

Vice President Kamala Harris must become the presidential nominee, or the millions of dollars their campaign has raised will have to be refunded.

The reason Biden dropped out is because of money. Big money said no to Biden. He can't run a campaign without big money. The reason Kamala will be the nominee is about money. Since she's on the ticket, she's the only one who can tap into the cash already taken in from big money. And the big donors are apparently willing to spend their cash on her. She had the big money behind her in the primary until Tulsi Gabbard pulled Kamala's pants down on national TV.

Haters will say it’s fake but I seent it with my own eyes!

Watching Congressional hearing grilling USSS Director Cheatle. Some of the swamp creatures using it for unrelated gun grabbing screeching has me about to puke. The Swamp's creatures are slithering about in their swamp again at full blast.

Holy clap!

I’m surprised she actually showed up for the hearing. There’s no penalty for not doing since it’s a Republican hearing. The accounts I’m reading says she’s not doing well.

Oof:
