US Secret Service Head Says She Won’t Resign After ‘Unacceptable’ Trump Rally Shooting

[EnigmaO01]

But we would also need HUGE HUGE HUGE Campaign Finance Reform, to where Pacs were outlawed, and any "bundling" by wealthy or corporate entities were outlawed, so that only individual American Citizens would be allowed to contribute to a Party or to a Candidate, and that any amount over $50 or $100 in any Campaign cycle from any Citizen would be made Public.

This!

I hadn't thought to check until I read your post, but who was put in charge until a choice of replacment is decided? Or was that decided right away? Certainly we have that question already asked and answered around here in some thread, yes? Stupid me, I never gave that any thought until I saw your post. I'm really slipping. Getting old. Used to be that would be in my brain right away: Who's the new boss?

On the other hand, maybe I'm not slipping. Maybe I've always been so stupid.

Ronald Rowe, the deputy chief of the agency, was placed in the role of acting head by the DHS secretary. Based on his background, he seems very competent. He's been with the agency for 20+ years.

Director Cheatle, the former director, was appointed by the president. She previously served in the secret service (including Biden's detail) - but was recruited from Pepsi. My personal guess is that based on how close we are to the election, Rowe probably remain in the acting role for the next 4 months.

That would be Ronald L. Rowe, Jr.

I had to look it up. Deputy Director Ronald Rowe is temporarily in charge until hopefully someone not suffering from dementia and not the first lady makes an official pick to replace her.

How about a 5' 3" male?
Or just females are not qualified because of physical stature?

Oh for heavens sake. I would have criticised a 5'3" overweight male being put on that detail as well. When it comes to protection detail. Protection detail is not an approprite place for diversity hires.

The women weren't over weight.

At least one of them certainly was. Or was that a fake belly sticking out?

Muscle perhaps.
But who knows, no one knows who they are.

I'll give you partial credit on that one. Some whistleblowers approached congress and pointed out that most of the agents on that protection detail were not even Secret Service agents. Some of them were fill ins from other Homeland security agencies. I will go out on a limb and suggest thaat at least some of the women in that detail were fill ins.

I think I saw that reference, in another post, about the First Lady having some say in that appointment of Mr. Rowe (and thank you for the info) - - - but what is this stuff about the First Lady having some say in that choice? I mean, did you see that written up by some journalist?

Numerous reports on the news and in print suggested that Jill pushed hard to appoint her to the job. None of those reports have been denied.

Well, on this one I have no clue. But appreciate the input.

And upon reflection, I don't suppose a household changes significantly in certain ways of things happening within the family, just because it happens to be the POTUS household. The wife in any home offers opinions about a husband's work, so not so special here. Maybe.

But it does make one think about the idea of the First Lady having a certain kind of "actual" power within a given nation. ("Given nation" obviously taking this part of the discussion beyond the U.S. White House. [By the way, I happen to know that in the ROK it is called the Blue House. Or it was. Not sure about now. I had a very, very unusual experience in the office building right next to the Blue House. Well, an "unusual experience" for all in the office and many in the capitol city that day.])

All first ladies have some influence on their presidential spouses, most at a reasonable and supportive level. Most primarily have causes they use their celebrity status to lend support to. Some have a bit too much involvement. Hillary Clinton for instance was feared by the entire low level staff. Their secret service agents had some stories to tell. Ofcourse hillary's ambition was to become the first woman president. I appreciate your input as well.
