Silly incompetent woke logic. All I can say to that silly assessment is that every single day we are reminded of the incompetence of this fake President and his advisors. I can only console myself with the knowledge there surely is a God, because had God not stepped in to touch the head of Donald Trump and turned his head ever so slightly the nation would have been plunged into absolute chaos. To which I say - Choices have consequences - bad choices have bad consequences.

Does this mean we can disband OSHA as a safety hazard

All building roofs have some slope on them. How does this dumb bitch think water runs off?

If I had to guess from looking at it, the pitch on that roof is about 1:12 (1” of slope per 12” of run). Even 2:12 would be shallow enough to put someone up on.

This may be the weakest excuse yet.

Just from my own cursory construction experience, they could have easily called a scaffolding company to build a scaffold tower (that is level & not sloped for the babies in the SS), taller than the nearby buildings and used it as a watchtower.

Heck even a manlift or tall scissorlift next to the building would have given you a wide line of sight of the entire rooftop.

Her response should offend our intelligence. Does she really think this will blow over that easy?

A drone with a camera. I am calling BS on this. They wanted Trump dead.

Wasn't too dangerous for the countersnipers on the barn woth a steeper pitch?

Makes sense.


It's OSHA's fault.

If there ever was a time to have protests and march on Washington it is to make sure this lunatic resigns.

How’d that work out securing from the “inside”?

I worked roofing for a summer and I can assure you that isn’t even close to an unsafe pitch for someone to leverage.

If the mouthbreathing 20YO shooter could use it I’m pretty sure a trained sniper who lays in their own urine for days waiting for a shot with ants biting them could’ve been expected to make it work.

That answer is far, far worse than what I expected. In fact it’s unimaginably bad coming from the woman who presumably has all the information from the scene.

It probably sounded better in her head, before she said it.

If a punk puny dork could get up there she wants us to believe that snipers couldn't. Where was the $98 dollar drone that could have spotted the punk?

As someone who has designed and built hundreds of such buildings, that looks like a 2/12 pitch. Easily walked on, which you can see from the agents standing around the body.

Failure to secure is nothing short of a deliberate attempt to leave a vulnerable spot for someone to assassinate him from.

Well, after all these years terrorist and would-be assassins have found the Secret Service's Achilles heal...sloped roofs

Fortunately there aren't very many of those in the US

I expect nothing less from the DEI (didn’t earn it) leader.

The more I hear and read the more this smells like it was an oversight done on purpose. They allowed this to happen plain and simple. No other scenario makes sense.

Where have we heard this before?

So it was the roof (cold). And it was the slope (jet lag). So it was the two things, right.
