Go look at the clip of Trump entering the RNC event last night...and pay attention to the SS team he has there. Not a single female, no one under 6', and I really didn't recognize any faces from the rally footage.
YEP. Like I said ... where did all the little girls go from Saturday?
Replaced by solid men who look to be 6 feet tall.
Those little girls never should have been allowed in the Secret Service.
Too small ... and they all panicked.
Did you miss the female SS who put her torso and head against trump's chest while the tall SS men left his head exposed?

Neither were the tall SS men who didn't put themselves in front of Trump's head when they stood him up. The whole thing is inexplicable.
Not when you see how the Secret Service carved out the "protection bubble" to exclude the roof across the street from where Trump spoke.
I don't jump on the conspiracy wagons like most here do.
I don't care to have you jump in them now that I see who you roll. You have nothing we need to help us decide what happened but "your wrong" stuff.
Yeah some of you do need help with differentiating fact from fiction.
I thought that was why you are here. To offer the facts, not inhibited by political bias. Or is that wrong?
I offered sources and FBI investigative statements, is that political bias to you?
not at all Silly. Or are you not here to offer facts not inhibited by political bias?
My only political bias is that I believe both sides will never unite to the detriment of the people, who really matter in all of this.
Respectfully in a semi-free country of 330 million plus people with diversity no other country has, you aren't ever going to have 100% unity 90% unity 80% unity LOL even 70% unity is rare AF. The last time the US was somewhat unified was 9/11 and we are still questioning that event and all it led to still today.
It's one reason why states rights are important
That's right, then it is up to the political leaders to be the role models, to show the way.

Respectfully if you are old enough to vote, you shouldn't need a President or any other politician to show you "how to act"
Politicians are not supposed to be role models, they are civil servants.
Role models should be from various other areas and professions, you know ones that promote high character, discipline, scruples, intelligence, wisdom, dedication, sacrifice, and responsibility.
These traits are hard to come by in DC BTW.

I totally agree this is a disgrace. If it was intentional then those in charge are guilty of allowing shots fired at Trump and guilty of allowing others to be killed and maimed with the hope of taking out opposition to the current President.
This is part of the reason I am wondering if it was intentional. Don’t provide enough funds to SS to limit possible response and limit what could be set up as far as drones, security, etc. Then restrict hiring to people who aren’t the most qualified.
If the SS can’t take out a threat with someone in the crowd shouting, he’s got a gun for 2 or 3 minutes, then that is terrible.
On the other hand if democrats are in charge of the SS and I thought they were right now and the most important objectives for SS was DEI directives instead of saving lives of candidates, then they got what they wanted.

Respectfully, yes they do need to be role models in how to behave in a civil and cooperative manner within a highly charged violent political climate from the extremist voters from both sides.

I disagree again because extremist or far right leaning conservatives, or now known as the 'throw out the constitution'-type conservatives, do need someone to show them how to behave in a civil and manner for the good of others, or for the country.
They also need to learn what is responsible vs. irresponsible rhetoric and/or criticism and the outcomes of such narratives usually lacking in substantive evidence of truth. The left leaning extremists are also guilty, so both sides do need to be taught by their leaders especially how to work together for the benefit of most citizens in the country and most of all to understand/interpret properly then make decisions about policies that follow the constitutional laws.
