USSS Pulls Agents From Biden to Bolster Trump Detail
Newsmax ^ | August 16, 2024 | Mark Swanson

Posted on 08/16/2024 7:04:42 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

The Secret Service shifted multiple agents from President Joe Biden's protective detail in an effort to boost Republican nominee Donald Trump's team, The New York Times reported.

It's unclear how many agents are being shifted to Trump, though the Times report called the move temporary.

The move comes after the assassination attempt on Trump last month at an outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. It was also reported Thursday that Trump will be encased in bulletproof glass at future outdoor rallies, another adjustment by the Secret Service.

The move to shift agents from one detail to another is unusual, a Secret Service official told the Times. However, Biden's reduced travel schedule since stepping away from the 2024 presidential campaign made the shift feasible, the Times reported.

“Biden is useless. Nobody cares if he lives or dies.”

That’s what I was thinking. Biden is an invisible man now.

I read that. Once with Trump’s plane. Twice this week already with Vance’s.

Soon he will be pressured to step down so Harris can run as the President.

I read where Biden appeared with Kamala at one of her rallys. When he got up to speak - Everyone left.

I think so, too.

Here’s my take: Harris was hastily inserted as the dem candidate bc Bidens over exposure was hurting dem chances of winning the next election. The press did their job and, as you said, Biden has become a nonperson, almost completely disappeared. He’s the president of the US and he’s virtually invisible! When has that ever happened? Harris tho is simply a distraction. The real dem candidate is yet to be revealed, altho my guess is it’ll be big Mike. This reveal will be last moment so no substantive debate or vetting can occur. It’ll all be hype and hoopla lead by the MSM.

That’s all fine and good, but no matter how many bodies you have protecting someone, if they don’t do their job then it doesn’t make any difference. If the SS had done their job and secured what anyone could see was a great vantage point for a sniper, the attempted assassination would not have happened. If they hadn’t been so incompetent in keeping the locals from the same radio frequencies the SS had, it wouldn’t have happened. Do the friggin job you are hired to do.,

Why not? The guy is half dead anyway, might as well take half his SS away.

Is it my imagination or does it really seem like the secret service these days is mostly just a bunch of fat, short incompetent white females?

It’s not unusual at all. Agents were diverted from Butler to protect Dr Jill during her hastily planned, 30 person, invitation only fundraiser in Pittsburg that day.

I wonder how many accompanied the fine doctor on her junket to the Olympics while her husband was suffering from a medical emergency and deciding on the biggest political move of his life. Hmmmmm

MAGA peeps would like to run loyalty tests on all of Trump’s SS detail.

A sad state of affairs, but true.

As a MAGA peep myself I think I, and other MAGA peeps, could do an excellant job of protecting PDJT for free.

I even know how to holster my gun without looking and I have had plenty of range time.

Who’s to say that these SS agents aren’t more inept DEI hires?

A useless SS agent is as bad as no SS agent. Or worse!

It actually sounds as if they're putting Pedo Joe into a retirement profile a little early. It isn't as if he were an active president.

On a whim I looked up how many times the Praetorian Guard assassinated their Caesar. I seemed to recall a couple. It was actually thirteen. Just something to think about...
