Maybe the Secret Service Isn't a Vehicle for Female Empowerment

right. Which is why I shouldn’t be in the Secret Service any more than they should.

Kimberly Cheatle, head of the Secret Service, got the publicity she wanted for hiring a bunch of women. Now she’s got a bunch of questions to answer.

How did this happen?

How did a guy with a rifle access a rooftop that close to his target?

Why didn’t agents listen to the attendees who spotted him first?

Why was one female agent heard screaming, “What are we doing? Where are we going?”

Why haven’t you cleaned out your desk yet?

That last question is the most important one. I sure wouldn’t want to trade places with Cheatle right now. Republicans hate her for letting this happen to Trump, and Democrats hate her for handing him the election.

The Secret Service has no plans to beef up security at the RNC in Milwaukee, saying: “We are confident in the plans we have.”

They shouldn’t be confident in anything right now. They’re not filming a promotional video with women in Kevlar vests walking in slow motion while contemporary R&B plays. They’re supposed to be protecting a presidential candidate, and they just failed utterly.

There’s one pic with the agents escorting Trump off the stage. The female agent looks like she’s cowering under Trump’s arm to protect herself. He’s totally exposed for follow-up shots.

OMG that Video!!!

What % of the agents, just in the promo video, is it that their Butts should have a license plate?

Back office/ support? Sure whatever. But, “Front Line” in tac gear?

Its not just the women. Its the Secret Service period. Its well past its expiration date. The President should be protected by Special Forces Operators. This chit would never happen. 😣

“looks like she’s cowering under Trump’s arm”

I think that’s because that’s how tall she is. She comes up to his armpit.

It occurred to me that shes too short for this task of protecting Trump.

She may well be very skilled in the use of weapons, and skilled in the martial arts, if such is needed as part of the team protecting someone. But this specific assignment is not well suited for her

Someone needs to take that video of them gals dancing around and add this soundtrack of the Flight of the Bumblebees to it.

Put it all on a loop and enjoy.

“But this specific assignment is not well suited for her”

Exactly. (you are being gracious, too).

Her stature (and all of the female SS in the video) is too short. On the podium, one female stood in front of Trump. She barely came to his chin totally exposing his head. She blocked his torso and chest which is good, but she was too short to block his head. Pathetic DEI at work.

You mean frumpy, 5 foot tall “Deputy Betty Fife” who never even learned how to holster a gun (and may only be given one bullet, who knows). Isn’t the best choice to guard the most powerful man in the world???

My only criticism of the female agents is their height.

The other details about things like shouting out “where are we going from here” probably was a permissible call for a decision and need to call out because things were too loud for whispered earpiece communicating.

You must have missed the part where she tried unsuccessfully to holster her sidearm several times.

I heard a report that this female agent and the lead make agent, have been with Trump for years and he is very supportive of them.

My complaint would be the female agent is too short to cover Trump.

As they left, she wasn’t cowering behind Trump, she was supporting him down the stairs.

She missed her holster once in the midst of action. A ridiculous complaint.
