    Do you think that Trump’s secret service people are there because they’re loyalists? I doubt they get to choose their details.

    It’s only leapords meme worthy if it’s someone who was gladly supportive of (in this case) sexism against others beforehand… we have no evidence of that here.

        I imagine that sitting presidents are able to hand-pick their detail, but do former presidents also get the same freedom to choose their own staff? I would assume that former presidents just get who they get, unless there’s a legitimate problem with the assignment.

          Isn’t this just a natural thing that would happen in this instance? I can’t imagine the number of secret service agents that want to be specifically assigned to trump is that high.

          Conversely I would assume the number of secret service agents that don’t want that detail is fairly high. I assume a sitting president detail is more engaging for most in that line, plus the trump camp comes with its own special flavor of volatility.

          I would assume those two things work together to essentially mean that trump did mostly have his choice for who works with him but who knows really

      Nobody is forced to do any job when your career is such that you’re working for the president. Resignation is always an option.

      And no, they were gladly supportive of someone who supports sexism. And then sexism. Thus, the leopards.

      The leopards part happens when Trump throws his own security detail under the bus to stir up his base, which if his past is anything to go by, he’ll be doing shortly.

      THEN we can have the leopards meme about the secret service. Pop it back in guys it’s not ready yet.

        You think any security at any level actually care about the property or people they’re tasked with protecting?

        It’s a job.

          Yes, I’m told I need to put my body, flesh and blood, before the president of it seems he may be shot.

          It’s a job, okay. Just like any other.
