‘You put him within less than an inch of his life,’ Barrasso yelled at Cheatle.  ‘So resignation or full explanation.’

In much of the world, it is a given that you fuckup this bad you resign in shame and apologize profusely. Then go away for a long time. Not in today’s America. My guess is Cheatle believes she is being ‘tough’, a ‘real leader’, ‘standing her ground’, when it is obvious she is incompetent, a liar (sloped roof and much more), and very likely in on a nefarious plot I dare not mention. The assassination attempt was treason. Not being forthcoming, or worse covering up salient facts, perpetuates the treason, prolongs its impact and deepens its effects. Cheatle epitomizes the worst of today’s USA. ABN
