  It's going to take years to fix everything Trump fucked up.
context: Honestly, after their performance under Trump and the recent "lost" texts from January 6th, I wouldn't feel all that comfortable trusting them myself.  Keep in mind that in 2019 Trump gutted the leadership of the Secret Service and installed his own people. >
  
  Why does the Secret Service need to exist? Why isn’t it the best and brightest military that are tasked with protecting the President? >
  
  Probably bc that would make a military coup a lot easier if they had military loyalists stationed with every member of government. >
  
  Wasn’t this exactly what Trump accomplished? Or very close to it? >
  
  Not really. If the SS had been in on the coup it would have succeeded. >
  
  Well, seeing as how numerous Secret Service agents deleted texts pertaining to January 6th well outside of record retention guidelines, hard to blame him. >
  
  I don’t blame him. >
  
  I don't blame Biden for a second.  These are the same secret service agents Pence refused to get in a car with on Jan 6 out of fear for his life. >
  
  My dad just finished reading Zero Fail about the secret service and I told him this post and he said "smart guy". >
  
  His distrust is justified. >
  
  The secret service was complicit in J6. They erased their communications in order to protect themselves. They tried to remove VP Pence to further Trump’s illegal agenda. I would be dubious as well. If the dogs didn’t like the Secret Service agents, there may well have been a reason. If the Secret Service agents wanted to get rid of the dog because they thought it was between them and Biden, they would lie. >
  
  It was shocking to me how adamant Pence was that day about not getting in that vehicle. The Jan 6th committee revealed the suspicious nature of it, and I will never forget how shaken the congress members were after resuming the floor later that evening. >
  
  Why isn’t he cleaning house?
  The SS should be 100% apolitical. If fucking POTUS can’t trust the agency assigned to protect his life, there’s a HUGE problem that would justify a purge. >
  
  
  Why isn’t he cleaning house?
  
  That'd be divisive. Giving Republicans every chance to stab him in the back is an old hobby of his. >
  
  So… nationally security should be put at risk instead?
  Playing pat-a-cake with the GOP over an issue as serious as this doesn’t make any sense. >
  
  You're right. But Biden is fine with putting national security at risk to give Republicans that chance. A violent attempt to overthrow the government wasn't enough for Biden to consider our Democracy in danger. He said as much on camera. I forget the exact wording of it but it was a hypothetical and he responded "then our Democracy really will be in danger". He's gullible and naive. >
  
  Dude you're countering this guy's made up narrative. Quit being logical. >
  
  Dog bite incident?
  Edit - Read the article and I understand now. Thank-you nonetheless for all the helpful info! >
  
  One of Biden's dogs bit someone supposedly. Biden then moved the dog out of the white house. >
  
  Dog knew what was up. >
  
  I thought they did too if I'm being honest >
  
  Why would he, some tried to kidnap the last VP for the last big guy.
  (Who’s actually really really small, mushroom shaped) >
  
  Still waiting for Pence's story on the USSS. I dont Blame Biden for his distrust. >
  
  SS has always been full of losers. Remember the scandals in Colombia and other breaches during Obama. >
  
  Wait, hookers and blow are NOT part of our travel package?!? (Every USSS agent overseas) >
  
  Hookers and Blow was a band that played for Republican convention goers in 2008 >
  
  Hookie and the Blowfish >
  
  Secret Service tried to overthrow the US government with the orange, I wouldn’t trust those fuckers either. >
  
  The deleted texts alone should be enough for a total overhaul. >
  
  Thank you! >
  
  My brother’s Christo-fascist wife claims to know a couple of SS and was bragging about how they were so biased (pro-conservative, anti-liberal).  She didn’t understand the problem with this, of course. >
  
  Why would your brother even marry such a shrew? >
  
  Never underestimate the power of the hate fuck. >
  
  It's not that. His brother is one too. >
  
  This is why we need a full De-Trumpification of the Government. Every single Trump appointee needs be replaced. All of them. None of them can be assumed to be loyal the the USA. All of them should be further barred from holding and elected or civil servant position at any level of Government. >
  
  Won’t happen. I’m with you and wish it would, but it will not. Did not even happen/work in Post WWII Germany. >
  
  It’s sad, but He’s smart not to trust them. >
  
  Damn, that's pretty scary 💀 >
  
  I think that shows that Biden is taking the failures of the Secret Service with all due seriousness, then.  I wouldn't trust them, at this point.  Too many were playing Trump's games. >
  
  Secret Service needs to be prosecuted and purged >
  
  Secret Service = Seditious Service. >
  
  Having known a couple of secret service guys when I lived in northern Virginia, not president detail but still working the capital, I wouldn't trust them either. >
  
  I wonder how that DHS "Criminal Investigation" is going. >
  
  It's behind a paywall and I really want to read this. Does anyone have a link? Archive dot ph has not been working for me lately. >
  
  Can’t we fire them and get new ones? >
  
  Most in military style law enforcement are white men aged 25-50. Good luck >
  
  Gosh, I wonder how the former VP of eight years and lifetime Senator would think to exercise his judgment in that manner
