9/11 was probably the single biggest security failure in US history.
Was it a woman in charge then?
What about when JFK was assassinated? Was a woman in charge then?
maybe people are just promoted beyond their capability and it really has nothing to do with which sex they are
The secret service,cia and fbi track record is pretty awful anyway when you look at the things they got up too, it really isn't that surprising the secret service were so incompetent
Exactly. But one poster is attempting to claim it is because it was a woman, instead of a man, in charge that led to the failure.
Plenty of examples of men being faures, there seems to a culture of incompetence within in the secret service that nobody wants to fix
Security Service?? Never heard of that agency. What do they do?
so here we are
bit late now

Lol. Isn't it what they call people who may do a similar job (protecting the head of state, important figures etc.) in Russia (FSB) (or China), amongst other duties? Maybe a freudian slip.
Yeah I like many people thought the race was over for sure after it happened with the bump Trump would get. But the way the democrats responded with dignity, the way the republicans made a bit of a mockery of themselves trying to milk it for all it was worth, the way Trump started a speech about "unity" but went off script almost immediately, and of course the way it turned out that the shooter was a republican and was basically just another senseless mass shooter in a country that allows wide access to guns and little access to mental health care mostly thanks to republican policies have all hurt Trump's ability to really gain the advantage most people anticipated. And now with Harris stepping in it has really moved the news cycle on.

we still don't know the name of the secret service in charge of the event on the day.
Many middle Americans and swing voters don't care about any of this, they just saw Trump with his fist in the air after an assassination attempt and he's their man now. It was and still is a huge bump for him.
The election was a foregone conclusion. Thankfully Biden's team and the Dems saw this and pulled him out so now there's some glimmer of hope (Trump is still ahead)
So, the secret service, highly politicized on the side of the democrats, would like The Donald to ease of on the campaign?
It doesn't say anything about easing off on the campaign.
Indoor events are easier to secure that outdoor events. It would be remiss of the secret service not to mention this.
I would imagine similar advice has been given to the Harris campaign.
What is it with Trump worshippers and their endless conspiracy beliefs?
The SS: Maybe outdoor events should be reconsidered for your safety?
Average Trump fan: tHeY'rE tRyInG tO sToP tRuMp'S cAmPaIgN!!!!!!
sorry but I’m a bit confused here, am I a Trump worshiper or an average Trump fan?
need to know for future reference…
the average Trump fan is a Trump worshipper.
Condoleezza Rice was the secretary of state when 9/11 happened, so in a way she had the power to deal with the Saudi nationals who carried out those attacks, her department along with every other department ignored what they were being told about the potential for attacks of that nature (plans to fly planes into buildings were understood to be in the works since 1994) and the worst happened.
Gender, or sex if you like, seem to be irrelevant, things happen that shouldn't but the one constant is the fact that nobody at the highest level is ever held accountable regardless of the scale of the fvck up.
Maybe I’m the exception then as I’m a Trump fan but hardly a worshiper, I understand you like to categorize all Trump fans to validate your own perception, but cmon now how can anybody not be a Trump fan, he’s fcuking great craic, loves a troll, has dodged a bullet by millimetres, and will do no harm to our crypto bags either, what’s not to love about the man.

Absolutely everything?
I mean you’re talking about a user account named after a character portrayed by a sex offender. “But I’m not a Trump worshipper I just like sex offenders, trolls, and Bitcoin, bro?”
I think you might need to take the rest of the day off pal
Colin Powell was Sec of State when 9/11 attack occurred, Rice was National Security Adviser.

Two local law enforcement officers left a building with vantage points overlooking the roof where Crooks took aim at the former president before he fired shots
how many were left in the building?
I'm blaming her because she is a DEI hire. She promotes DEI policies. Policies that prioritize gender, skin colour and sexuality over ability. What happened on the 13th was a SHAMBLES from start to finish, DEI does a disservice to competent women everywhere, if you impose white man quotas in industries lacking white men then you'll do damage to that industry too.
When you see a shambolic performance from a Security Agency like we all saw, you can be sure that kind of incompetence is all over that organization, like a cancer. I don't believe that what happened isn't sinister beyond that, I think what we are seeing is incompetence and a cover up of incompetence, nothing more, but I can't blame anyone for thinking that there is a nefarious element to all this.
On the 13th, the US just about managed to avoid escalating a very volatile political situation, this week The Director stepped down, after disgracing herself and the USSS in front of the US people.
do you have any evidence that she was a DEI hire or is this just unfiltered sexism?
Can you point out the unfiltered sexism. It's a critique of DEI policies. Are you denying the existence of DEI policies inthe Secret Service?
unfiltered sexism then got it.
I'd tell you only it's a secret.
Sounds like an urban myth
Who was taking him to hospital
How long was he there with this tiny nick
He was stopped a number of times and each time cut himself and went to hospital and was never bagged
So you can't point out the sexism then….you are just going to throw insults at me!! You can't even admit to the existence of DEI policies….why am I not surprised….
Come here, while I have you, have you sunk even more money into the Democrats Overheal?
