    she's sooo arrogant. She knows she is protected. Put in her position by partisans. Funny how no matter how badly one of these DEI people perform they never get fired. A ball-less administration where poor performance is ok, its expected

    Someone dropped the ball? This is ridiculous that they think they are fooling US.
  • This director isn’t fit to be a Walmart security officer, much less Director of the Secret Service

    Alternative View: "Shenanigans" 20-Minute Mystery❓ ❗ The Secret Service & local police had conflicting accounts of their responsibilities. Was it the Secret Service's job to secure the factory, or was it the local police's? It seems like a classic case of "Who's on first?"....Source: https://youtu.be/w_zZhM4MkrU

    They should be grilling the CEO of centerpoint NRG for their sheer incompetence that led to Houston being left without power for two weeks after a category one hurricane made landfall in texas.

    She's not contrite enough to get out of the way so someone willing to do, the not so good feewing, things. THAT is what we need. All she gave was someone else has that information. If she was well trained she would know enough to keep track of everything no matter who is supposed to be doing things.

    Should Americans be upset about what happened at the Trump rally or are we treating it like a school shooting and telling everyone to get over it?
