Over on the other site, the usual crew of folks are arguing that DEI meant the Secret Service has been hiring unqualified women and that's why what happened yesterday was possible.

These are grotesque people.

And here I was worried they would be focusing on the wrong things.

Ann Coulter said that straight out. Unsurprisingly.

May I have the link to the hellsite, please?

I’ve scoured it. I’m not sure I can see things the way they are. I need to learn JavaScript, I think. Too late now, but maybe sanity can return.

Yeah, but the vaseline on the camera lens has to be about a quarter inch thick.

Wasn't everyone around Trump white and overwhelmingly male?

lady SS agent with back to crowd I think

Yup she was doing the majority of the blocking on the camera side and took trumps elbo to the head when he insisted on popping out of the protective huddle for the arm pump. Super proud of her as another woman in a male dominated field putting up with bs.

He’s gonna hate her guts for life for messing up his grandstanding pictures. What an ungrateful piece of shit.

Doesn’t change the truth value of “overwhelmingly male”
Avatar
And voilà: Trump announces his veep pick and it’s the whitest male possible. They’re all in with the Lee Atwater tactics, no great surprises here.

That's why I chose that phrase. I did see a female in the pictures of the aftermath.

For every one woman in the room the likelihood of an attempted assassination goes up 10% 😔 (/Jk if it wasn't obvious)

I would have vastly preferred an en-assination attempt on that man myself. A far more appropriate candidate for laughingstock than martyr status, IOW.
Avatar
It depends on how closely you define “around.” There were several female agents when he stepped down from the stage and moved to the egress vehicle.
Avatar
Ok, I've only seen the on stage pics, so that's news to me.
Avatar
Yeah we should have real manly men for Secret Service, like the ones defending JFK. Oh.
Avatar
like the ones who went out whoring in Colombia.
Avatar
Wasn't Dan Bongino's brother one of those agents?
Avatar
Shout out to the very credible theory backed up by forensics that it was hungover USSS agents that actually killed JFK, because they shot wildly after the first shot from Oswald missed.
Avatar
Never heard that one before. Hmm.
Avatar
Boomer here and I can assure you long before DEI was a thing, presidents & candidates were assassinated
Avatar
Not that it matters to Vichy Twitter but since the first women joined the SS (1971) there hasn't been a successful presidential assassination attempt.
Avatar
USSS, the SS is a different thing. They kind of make a point about it.

Sorry, I was trying to use shorthand but you are correct.

In fairness, that's because the other site is a cavalcade of grifters and dipshits.

To quote a certain former president, they should just get over it.

I spent over an hour just blocking crazies and right-wingers. And then the ads are all grifting. Twitter is fucking dead. I thought it was bad yesterday. Today? There aren’t enough profanities to express it.

The small woman who was below and to the right of Trump was about a foot shorter than him and was, at points in the trip downstairs, was carrying most of his weight.
Avatar
Instead of making me angry, this just was unabashedly funny.
Avatar
Very much my take as well. They've become parodies of themselves.
Avatar
The unqualified deplorables have strong opinions.
Avatar
Is this the same brain trust that blamed the Key bridge collapse on DEI?
Avatar
Avatar
Famously, presidential assassinations never happened when the secret service was all male.
Avatar
That’s just scratching the surface; I came across a thread that was focused on the physiognomy of the counter sniper team. There is only one group of people who use THAT term on a regular basis.
Avatar
My thoughts were, look it that clown giving no fuqs about the lives of anyone else he puts in danger.
Avatar
All part of the RW drumbeat to limit women to being only housewives, nurses, teachers, secretaries, domestic servants, and breeding chattel & locking them out of everything else.
Avatar
Of course. The same bogey men and women are responsible for EVERYTHING.
