I just read that the counter sniper team was just assigned Friday because they have been working so many hours.

All of these yoyo's insinuating that Trump is as bad as Biden, age wise, need to pay attention. Trump is campaigning so hard that the secret service is having a tough time keeping up.

I'm sure there's more to the SS manpower issues, but you can't convince me that Trumps rigorous schedule didn't contribute to problem.

SS is low pay and shitty hours. They aren’t getting the cream of the crop

Do you seriously expect me to believe (not YOU, but whomever) that the SS doesn't have enough agents to legitimately provide protection for Trump at all times, no matter what the circumstances? I simply don't believe it. They may not do it, but it's not because they CAN'T.

Trump has been on the down low…In fact, he was basically just golfing and staying out of the limelight since the debate, as Biden and the Dems overthrow of their own party was taking place… Even Dems were upset, as Trump wasn’t giving them any rhetoric to complain about. And, everybody was so impressed with Trump keeping quiet as the Dems imploded… this is a bad take…

Seriously? They should be the highest paid security guys in the country. Their one job is protecting this country's leaders... well, and taking care of counterfeit money... they should be quite well compensated for doing so, to entice the best. Heck, use the counterfeit money from the other side of the business, so to speak, to pay them.

Several former SS agents have come out against the new biden DEI appointee SS Director. The common stated number of agents under her who have since retired is close to 30% and growing. Her stated goal of having 30% of agents being female by 2030 is the driving force of these retirees as many are not getting promotions as well as many of the older agents are being given shitty assignments. To drive them away. But as a result, agents are having to put in 12-13 hrs of intense, high pressure assignments, the pay has remained stagnant ever since biden took over, and moral "has bottomed out". The same has happened to the U.S .Marshalls Agency, as they are being pulled out of airlines & sent down to the border to do paper work on the illegals. Their retirement rate has sky rocketed as well.

“SS is low pay and shitty hours”

Terrible hours and travel: YES

Low pay: NO

Regular Special Agent makes GS-13 plus 25% availability pay PLUS OT differential pay so they can easily pull in $150k-$200k.

USSS Special Agent jobs

They go to journeyman GS-13, which takes maximum of 4 years if they come in right out of college.

And they can retire at age 50 if they have 20 years of service.

Their pay is set by Congress as are ALL Federal Special Agents. No President has anything to do with pay tables.

Its US Marshals Service under DOJ and they don’t fly on planes…it’s the Federal Air Marshals who work under TSA which is under DHS…and yes ALL Special Agents within DHS are being tasked to babysit illegals at the border.

I sit down at my gate in Atlanta and take out the paper and the young fella next to me asks if he can have the sports. I say sure I have read it, he reaches out his hands from under his coat and I see he has handcuffs on.

I look at him and the older fella next to him pulls out the front of his coat and shows me a US Marshal badge and says "Im escorting Jimmy here back to Miami, Jimmy has been a very bad boy and he is going away for a very long time". Jimmy shrugs, I give him the sports section, and we all have a laugh.

Yes US Marshals do take flights for work,

FAMS work security on planes.

USMS work Federal courts and fugitives.

Of course Deputy US Marshals fly on planes…but they don’t perform security on them.

There were numerous people there that said about 20 SS were running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
