BUT But but.
I was taken to task just the other day by a Freeper telling me, my writing the Secret Service did not want a Trump upsetting their gravy train any more than the GOPe did, was offensive. The Secret Service after all was above politics and separate from the Executive Branch.
Gosh, is it possible a smarter than smart Freeper was wrong?

The Secret Service is a joke. It needs a total shake up just like the VA.

“The discipline ranges from a letter of reprimand to suspensions from duty without pay for periods of up to 45 days.”

Slap. On. The. Wrist.

But let an Army E-6 have failed a tape test within the last three years (subsequently meeting the standards) and said SSG can be involuntarily separated under the cover of "defense cuts."

We are all so screwed.

When Trump's in office he'll fire the lefty psychopath/criminals in the service and replace them with honorable people.

I'm pretty sure the same types of criminal psychopaths in the IRS have 'leaked' Trump's taxes... those people will be tried and jailed ...

Yeah, I’m sure the identified leaker still has his security clearance and already has a job lined up with a contractor. Dude will probably wind up in the same building doing the same thing but sitting over in the contractor cubicles, that’s some real “punishment” there.

Trump should also just consider disbanding the Secret Service and providing his own private security. These guys are some combination of too corrupt/inept to protect him.

“...We have an administration that abuses critics ....”

Why would you expect anything less from him and those he surrounded himself with?

> All of the federal government agencies are undisciplined, lawless and out of control, IMHO. Thanks Obama.

It LONG predates Obama. He’s not helping, of course, but the various TLAs have long been pursuing their own independent agendas. It’s a large part of why nothing ever changes no matter who gets elected.

“Where’s the respect?”

The Democrats have no respect for this country, and never have.
