"DEI" criticism hurled at female Secret Service Agents after Trump shooting

Does Trump grab them by the pussy?

Keep 'em barefoot ' n pregnant!

This will be the future if Dump makes it to the White House. Racial and ethnic minorities will be presumptively unqualified for any position that is coveted by a white guy. Women will be deemed unqualified for anything other than birthing, child-rearing and homemaking. Gays will be forced to the margins of society by "religious freedom", charges of "grooming" youth and erasure due to "don't say gay" initiatives.

BIDEN/HARRIS 2024 (or Democrat whoever)

I sort of agree.

Unless women can pass the same rigorous, physical exam as the men, then they don't belong in the military or police force or fire department or secret service.

But everything is modified for them to easily pass.

Basically, they've become honorary positions for women, who are generally incompetent at such jobs, no matter how you slice it.

A Black lesbian took a bullet and saved the life of that loser Klansmen from Louisiana, Steve Scalise.

The videos speak for themselves and clearly show the bumbling of these particular female agents. Also, it’s been pointed out that their short stature left Trump vulnerable since they couldn’t protect his upper body with theirs.

Keep in mind that the Secret Service has other important responsibilities besides protecting VIPs. They could easily be reallocated to other roles with no loss in rank.

Theoretically, perhaps, but we know in reality he did not require protection. This was not an attempted assassination. It was a staged event -- a false flag that the MAGA loonies are so fond of accusing the Left of orchestrating. Dump was never in any greater danger than whatever injury could occur from gently tackling an 80 year old, obese man to the ground, squirting ketchup in his ear and replacing his shoes.

The secret service failed that day. That the shooter could get into position and just lie there for an extended period of time is incredible. One of the gunmen for law enforcement even took a picture of him but didn't shoot yet to report and nothing was done. I don't think the women are the problem but it's a symptom of other priorities than optimal job performance. Here is a lengthy, very detailed description about what went down. Hiw they let the event continue when they had just seen a guy with a sniper rifle and a rangefinder minutes ago is behind me.

Straight men don’t want to fuck you, R4.

THEY ARE FRIGGIN WARRIOR PRINCESSES! RIGHT.

All bullshit since this "assassination attempt" was so obviously staged.

I thought Trump hand-picked the short agents to surround him so they wouldn’t obscure his face in the event of an attack. Sure, that would be more risky, but imagine the Pulitzer Prize winning photo!

Womenkind are about to take 1 gigantic step backward

[quote] I thought Trump hand-picked the short agents

Both the Secret Service diversity hires and the qualified agents are picked for him.

You Yasss Kweens are so fucking dizzy. What DEI shit will you defend next? How about midgets for Biden’s SS team? We don’t want to discriminate now do we?

SS have other jobs than just being shields for the president. Sure, they do that but they also scope out locations, interrogate people, do all sorts of other intelligence-related and security things than what we see. It's possible they didn't have enough agents assigned but if that idiot Drumf wasn't trying to do his Nazi salute instead of what he was told to do, which was to get down, she would have been able to cover him just fine.

It wasn't a nazi salute. It was the symbol of power. The Black Panthers, hippies, and radical feminists used it in the 60s a lot.

" The Secret Service is always there except when you need them".. Jacqueline Kennedy

How is the SS structured for campaign events?

Is there a site leader or coordinator? This was an epic fuckup on multiple levels. Someone needs to take responsibility.

Kimberly Cheatle’s “sloped roof” excuse is being mocked and memed mercilessly on X. Not sure if she should have to resign, but someone should.

The women assigned to Trump looked inept in the aftermath. Shouldn’t this detail go to Navy Seal types? I agree that there is surely a place for them in the SS, but not directly protecting whichever figure is in public.

I'm not complaining about the "lapse" in security for Trump.

Just saying.

If your house was on fire, would you really want a 5'2 woman trying to get your fat ass out the window?

Women shouldn't get a free pass. If they can do the job as well as men, then fine. If not, then they shouldn't be hired just because they are women.

It turns out that the lady agent who stepped in front of Trump previously work security at Cannes.

^^worked

Right, r18. A bunch of burly, dick-swinging male secret service officers failed to stop Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt, JFK and Reagan from getting shot, despite r4 claiming that a penis is needed to do the job.

Can we not call the secret service the SS? Some other group owns that acronym and it sounds ridiculous.

Women SS Agents are fine, but only retired WNBA players.

R24 SFS.. Short Frauen Service

[quote] A bunch of burly, dick-swinging male secret service officers failed to stop Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt, JFK and Reagan from getting shot

The Secret Service didn't exist when Lincoln was president. It wasn't formally tasked with protecting the president until after the McKinley assassination. Roosevelt was not president when he was shot. The Secret Service only started protecting former presidents in 1965.

It was quite something to see those Secret Service officers jump on top of Trump not knowing if there would be more bullets. The women were pathetic except for the one who helped him down the stairs. Short, fat women aren't physically appropriate for this detail.

[quote] Short, fat women aren't physically appropriate for this detail.

We can do anything a man can do, because we're fierce and strong!!

So I'll guess we'll pretend that Kennedy didn't get shot in the head while male secret service agents were protecting him, r27? Your history lesson is interesting but it doesn't refute my point.

[quote] Secret Service boss Kimberly Cheatle says she's not resigning after senators confront her at RNC over Trump shooting

Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has no plans to resign after a group of GOP senators asked her to do so in an angry confrontation caught on video at the Republican National Convention over the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, her staff told ABC News.

As calls for her resignation grow louder, Cheatle, according to her staff, is determined to stay put and see through the investigation of how the attempt on Trump's life happened at an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Just hours after she and FBI Director Christopher Wray briefed lawmakers on the investigation, Cheatle was confronted by four Republican senators at the RNC in Milwaukee, where she is overseeing the Secret Service security plan for the event.

During an unclassified briefing with Congressional members Wednesday, Cheatle and Wray released a timeline on the rally shooting, revealing that 20 minutes passed between the time U.S. Secret Service snipers first spotted the gunman on a rooftop and the time shots were fired at the former president, according to several law enforcement officials and lawmakers briefed on the matter.

Trump met with Cheatle on Tuesday at the hotel he is staying at in Milwaukee, a source familiar with the meeting told ABC News on Thursday. Cheatle briefed him on the assassination attempt.

Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), John Barrasso (R-Wyoming), James Lankford (R-Okla.), and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) confronted Cheatle Wednesday night at the RNC and demanded she answer their questions on how the Trump shooting transpired.

A video posted on social media by Blackburn captured the encounter outside a third-floor hospitality suite at the Fiserv Forum, where the convention is taking place.

The footage shows the senators surrounding Cheatle and demanding she answer their question right then about the failure of the Secret Service at the rally.

Confrontation...

The director has to be held accountable and pressure must be maintained until she resigns.

[quote] The director has to be held accountable and pressure must be maintained until she resigns.

Nope.

No one cares about Trump.

Fuck him.

R30 Guess we can pretend Kennedy didn't get shot in the head because he refused to follow the advice of male secret service agents who were trying to protect him despite his determination not to be protected.

So fixed for R30

^^^This is correct. If I remember correctly, the agents wanted a bubble roof or something like that and JFK nixed it.

The lead agent felt such remorse and such sense of failure that he almost drank himself to death.

Anyone who saw the clip of those diversity hire Ompa Loompas with their cow in the headlight stares fumbling with their pistols like they were fighting over the last quart of Rocky Road and thinks this is acceptable has Frau for brains.

How can these women use their bodies as human shields if they are half the size of the body they are supposed to shield?

My sister said Ponytail couldn't even holster her own gun?

What’s physically “rigorous” about being an electronics tech, hospital corpsman, intelligent analyst, information systems tech, logistics, cryptologic techs, and all of the many other non combatant jobs in the military?

I saw this on X, showing the old overweight agent.

^^^I think that was the one hiding behind all the other agents.

Diaper Donnie's SS detail is hand-picked by himself. So, they are MAGAts. Loyal him, not the United States.

My guess is he only wanted the female agents who were hot. Who would maybe engage in "duties not otherwise specified", for his pleasure and entertainment. Much like Alinia Habba in her "lawyer" position, if you will.

*loyal to him

None of those women were hot, Helen @ R43.

R34 You realize she'll be in charge of protecting Biden too? Trump derangement, seriously.

Lol at the picture at R41.

You have to admit that "DEI HARD" is a pretty clever caption.

Group shot of Trump’s human shields:

Nip it !

this cheatle gal is getting absolutely shredded

i think if cheatle's claims that she don't know how WaPo got a hold of cheatle's statement this morning, then the Secret Service might have some serious security flaws.

Resignation demanded by Jamie Raskin

And Comer. Bipartisan demand.

Oh good this was brutal. And she deserved everything she got. Incompetent principal plus bad staff is my guess.

At least she is a Biden not a Harris hire

[quote] At least she is a Biden not a Harris hire

You know, all decisions and policies of this administration are Biden/Harris. She herself will be claiming credit for anything regarded as successful, and with that goes all the blame as well.

R54

No shit? And rain is wet?

How else did you think it might work or ever has worked?

The SS hire is very much a Joe Biden hire. A personal hire.

I think these complaints about DEI in general are bullshit but those three female agents looked ridiculous after Trump got shot, one fumbled trying to her gun in her holster then just gave up, the other two looked almost as silly. Those three stuck out compared to the male agents. I don't know them or anything about them and they might be quite qualified but they sure didn't look it after Trump got shot, one of the women seemed to be trying to protect Trump's MAGA hat as much as protect Trump. Those three appeared more rattled than the men.

I was not surprised to see women on that detail I was surprised to see so many short people on that detail. I always thought a certain height was required. There is a good reason to have security taller than the principal they are to protect.

And Trump is not short.

well, trump survived....

so secret service kinda did their job — protect the president's "life"

[quote] Secret Service director steps down after assassination attempt against ex-President Trump at rally

WASHINGTON (AP) — The director of the Secret Service said Tuesday she is resigning following the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump that unleashed intensifying outcry about how the agency tasked with protecting current and former presidents could fail in its core mission.

Kimberly Cheatle, who had served as Secret Service director since August 2022, had been facing growing calls to resign and several investigations into how the shooter was able to get so close to the Republican presidential nominee at an outdoor campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

“I take full responsibility for the security lapse,” she said in an email to staff, obtained by The Associated Press. “In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director.”

Cheatle’s departure was unlikely to end the scrutiny of the long-troubled agency after the failures of July 13, and it comes at a critical juncture ahead of the Democratic National Convention and a busy presidential campaign season. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have promised continued investigation, along with an inspector general probe and an independent and bipartisan effort launched at President Joe Biden’s behest that will keep the agency in the spotlight.

“The scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases,” Cheatle said in her note to staff.

Cheatle’s resignation comes a day after appeared before a congressional committee and was berated by hours by both Democrats and Republicans for the security failures. She called the attempt on Trump’s life the Secret Service’s “most significant operational failure” in decades and said she took full responsibility for the security lapses, but she angered lawmakers by failing to answer specific questions about the investigation.

At the hearing Monday, Cheatle remained defiant that she was the “right person” to lead the Secret Service, even as she said she took responsibility the security failures. When Republican Rep. Nancy Mace suggested Cheatle begin drafting her resignation letter from the hearing room, Cheatle responded, “No, thank you.”

Since she's President Biden's pick to lead the Secret Service, I wonder if Kamala made her resign?

Anyone that watched any TV yesterday , her, , her staff, everyone in Congress , all knew she would be gone by today. I would not have been surprised if she did it yesterday. Although not during the hearing itself,

No one survives what she went thru. No one in the WH had to say anything to her.

She look…

You should see the advantage they get in the military. I was cadre for a couple of cycles. Their PT qualifications were so low and so easy to pass.

If the whole thing was faked by Trump with ketchup and phony injuries, why didn't Cheatle blow the whistle on him instead of resigning in disgrace? Is he paying her, blackmailing her?

Those of you who think the whole thing was a wrestling-style stunt, please explain her behavior.

R64 this is datalounge. We get a Trump conspiracy every 30 minutes. I'm surprised they haven't accused him of being impersonated by Deanna Troi.

DL should have a QAnon section for the DL QAnon types .

She shouldn't have resigned.

If it were a Republican SS Director under a Republican President, and a Democratic candidate had been shot, that person would not have resigned.

Republicans never back down.

Democrats always cave.

Who is the one person in the country that can bring together the left the right the gop and the Dems in Congress,. Who has that kind of power?

She is the One.

She is the only person I can think of at this time. It was great to see AOC and the other Dems raking her over the coals. Her answers just stunk.

I felt bad for her as a person but as head of the USSS it was well deserved and she had it coming.

She did her job, as far as I'm concerned.

No one cares about Trump.

R68 Lawrence O'Donnell was explaining the other night that when someone tried to shoot Gerald Ford with a handgun back in the 70's and then someone else tried again 3 weeks later and then six years later someone with a handgun actually did shoot Reagan, it was the same white man who was head of the Secret Service during all that and no one called for his resignation and he later retired from the Secret Service, not fired, not asked to resign.

R71, the overwhelming evidence of Cheatle’s incompetence in running the agency rather the number of assassination attempts probably led to the calls for her to be fired or to resign.

I am all for women's rights but there are just some jobs women shouldn't do. men are born with more upper body strength than women. Those women were way too short to cover Trump and they couldn't control him because he kept trying to make his fist thing.

I also don't think women should be firefighters. I can't imagine some of these women trying to rescue a man and carry him out a window if he weighs over 125lb.

Girls shouldn't be allowed in the boy Scouts and boys shouldn't be allowed in the Girl Scouts.

We always have to go overboard when we change things.

DEI criticism is just a legit way to be racist.

[quote] Those women were way too short to cover Trump and they couldn't control him because he kept trying to make his fist thing.

Why do we care?

It's only Trump.

No big deal.

She should have kept her job.

we should care because next time it won't be Trump.

Hurled, PAH. All the really GOOD criticism is spewed.

Fuck this "DEI hire" shit and every misogynist who's flinging it. As far as I know, the only times in history that US presidents or candidates were actually critically wounded or killed in an assassination/attempt, there was a MAN in charge that failed to prevent it (despite their ample "upper body strength"). And not once were they ever forced to resign.

Basically, unless you hire straight white men, you’re posturing.

JHC she was not fired because of the shooting she was fired because she was clearly incompetent on national tv in front of them country. It was not the lack of having a penis that sunk her.

The worst performance in front of Congress I ever heard of.

And the Dems inc my new fav AOC lit her up like the 4th of July.

She was a bad hire
