You know you're dealing with sane people when their first response is that genital inspections would solve the problem. /s

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Well, it might actually bring these lunatics to their senses if they were forced to strip for inspection before using the bathroom.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 67 points 2 years ago

Hahaha. That's the job you signed up for. Repubs treat everyone like shit and you earned their attention by being his detail.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Hey hey, that's not true! If you have inherited wealth or you hate minorities, they will admire you for life...

One social media post, by a user described as a “MAGA2024 Ex-con deplorable” and viewed 10m times, shows a male officer carrying a large gun next to a female agent in action at the Trump rally.

Its caption says: “Secret service agents: Before DEI vs After DEI.”

As the article says, the first female agent was appointed in 1970.

Someone tell me who the woke liberal pro-DEI president was back in 1970 because Republicans must really hate him.

They started allowing female secret service agents in 1971–firmly in the middle of the Nixon administration.

He must have been woke. /s

Lmao, "women are perfectly capable of defending fascists too!" 🙄🤦‍♀️

Like, fuck the patriarchy and all its ills, but don't mistake this bullshit for feminism or anything that deserves any applause, it's hardly even bare minimum, and they're all a bunch of bootlickers, not heroes, whatever gender.

It sure seems like there were some serious concerns ahead of the shooting and I'm astounded there isn't a policy in place where anyone at whatever level of the command structure could call a code word and immediately put the candidate in full protection mode until the all clear was given.

Sounds like another Uvalde excuse where command structure wasn't clear cut, quick to react, and decisive, but I guess we will see.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I'm sure they do, and the word is probably just "gun". Seems like nobody called it, though.

[-] radivojevic@discuss.online 21 points 2 years ago

So they also assume women shouldn’t hold positions in government?

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Oh they believe there's a position for women to hold alright.

In the kitchen.

[-] Delusional@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Obviously. They'd rather women only be tradwives.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah. And we'll find out when they fulfill their stated goals of firing all federal workers and replacing them with "their people."

Cool stuff.

[-] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I will say those particular women that I saw were a bit short compared to the person they were guarding. When the agents ringed around him, his head was clearly visible above those ladies. That part seems suboptimal. This of course is true for some men too though.

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

“Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”

[-] Stamau123@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Trump is also just very tall in general, most agents would be shorter than him I imagine

[-] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No doubt, but the guy agents they had matched up, making the ladies who are probably reasonable tall look small.
