Jim Treacher: Maybe the Secret Service Should Be Focused on Hiring Large Strong Men Who Can Protect Their Clients, and Not So Much on Providing Wannabe Girlbosses with Bodyguard Fantasy Camp Opportunities

It was a sight to behold -- three small women attempting to shield Trump from bullets.

All of them were a head and a half smaller than Trump. Bullets would have flown over their heads to hit Trump in his.

And the head of the Secret Service? Rather than being a 60 year old man who had served all of his life in the military, law enforcement, or physical security industry, we have a young-ish woman and lifelong paper-pusher who used to work for PepsiCo.

As (IIRC) Ann Coulter snarked: Her main experience was in providing physical security to Fritos.

DEI is Death. We're going to start seeing the bodies pile up in operating theaters, as planes crash into unexpected mountains, and Secret Service Suffragettes fail to protect their clients from bullets.

"Well, you wouldn't do any better under fire, Mr. Blogger!" You're exactly right. Which is why I shouldn't be in the Secret Service any more than they should.

Kimberly Cheatle, head of the Secret Service, got the publicity she wanted for hiring a bunch of women. Now she's got a bunch of questions to answer.

How did this happen?

How did a guy with a rifle access a rooftop that close to his target?

Why didn't agents listen to the attendees who spotted him first?

Why was one female agent heard screaming, "What are we doing? Where are we going?"

Why haven't you cleaned out your desk yet?

That last question is the most important one. I sure wouldn't want to trade places with Cheatle right now. Republicans hate her for letting this happen to Trump, and Democrats hate her for handing him the election.

The Secret Service has no plans to beef up security at the RNC in Milwaukee, saying: "We are confident in the plans we have."

They shouldn't be confident in anything right now. They're not filming a promotional video with women in Kevlar vests walking in slow motion while contemporary R&B plays. They're supposed to be protecting a presidential candidate, and they just failed utterly.

The Secret Service is hiring almost nothing but women, as they attempt to hit 30% female agent "representation" by 2030.

God help us all.

Female Secret Service agents may not be able to actually protect their assigned clients, but I bet they excel at ocular pat-downs.
