1. Gee, maybe someone should have taken this seriously?

And now all the people these dip shits (not the SS - the administration) have been around will probably be denied testing.

Oh, and how many billions of people around the world are crossing their fingers right now? It's not nice, but it's a normal reaction to wanting evil, incompetence and the daily assaults on reason and sanity to just go away.

2. the newest hot spot for cases:

the white house.

if trump doesn't have it, or doesn't get it, justice does not exist.

3. testing

You know, it really pisses me off that trump and pence and others in the WH get tested ALL THE TIME but people who are sick can't get tested. These people are no more important than anyone else. Especially when the big orange asshole refuses to wear a mask, if he gets it I certainly won't lose a nights sleep over it. They shouldn't have special privileges if they are not willing to take the same precautions everyone else takes.

He may be the president (unfortunately) but he stands up to take a piss like any other man.

4. They'll never release a positive test result for Shitler or Pence...

The media will be briefed about a ‘non-life threatening procedure’ and a total blackout on the topic.

10. They'll trot out that "doctor" who looks like a Z-list Batman villain

to swear on the Bible that he's perfectly fine, that he weighs exactly 180 pounds of solid muscle, and that his pecker has actually gotten bigger from all the power he absorbs from the frustration of his enemies.

15. I bet he sits to piss

Just my opinion.

5. Secret Service has hundreds of agents

All over the US and around the world. Most are not directly involved in presidential protecion. That number of positives actually seems low considering how much contact they have with the public.

6. From the referenced article a little more -

"According to the DHS document, along with the 11 active cases there are 23 members of the Secret Service who have recovered from COVID-19 and an additional 60 employees who are self-quarantining. No details have been provided about which members of the Secret Service are infected or if any have recently been on detail with the president or vice president."

16. My daughter's ex wanted to work in counterfeit division along the border

He was originally from Mexico. But, he got caught lying on a polygraph, so that was the end of that. They broke up and he joined the Marines..LOL

I have no idea if he ever went into any kind of law enforcement or anything.

7. But the media is not actually people, to donnie bodybags' way of thinking. Therefore, no need to

waste precious resources on those mean old reporters .

8. Oh Trump is gonna love this. I can hear the spin now

“ Warriors, protecting me, never done that before for any president ever, in the history of our country, like never ever seen, protecting me, the greatest president they ever served for. They tell me all the time how great it is to risk their lives for me. They say, all the time believe me, I hear it everyday, ‘you are the greatest president, the greatest man, I will risk my life for you, even if you weren’t president’
Trust me, believe me, how much they love me. Everday, so great. Tremendously great. Any other president, I dont know, I dont see it.
They are doing their job for one reason only, me”

Now get back to work you slaves

[ashredux]

9. My money is on someone PROMINENT will get sick...soon

[Grokenstein]

11. Agents should shelter in place.

Believe me, protecting Donny Littlehands and/or Mother's Little Man is NOT an "essential service."
Stay home, guys.

[totodeinhere]

12. The military actually has a contingency plan to step in and replace the Secret Service

to provide protection to the president and others if the Secret Service becomes disabled by something like this.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. Chump doesn't want the press pool to be tested

because without "results" it's easier for him to blame the press for bring the 'rona into the WH. If they were tested with negative results, they'd have to look further at WH personnel as the culprits. Chump's not about to admit it is someone on his or Pencie's staff that is the weak link. Image, image.

14. The Secret Service Missions.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secret_Service

Primary missions

The Secret Service is mandated by Congress with two distinct and critical national security missions: protecting the nation's leaders and safeguarding the financial and critical infrastructure of the United States.

Protective mission

The Secret Service ensures the safety of the president of the United States, the vice president of the United States, the president's and vice president's immediate families, former presidents, their spouses and their minor children under the age of 16, major presidential and vice-presidential candidates and their spouses, and visiting foreign heads of state. The Secret Service also provides physical security for the White House Complex, the neighboring Treasury Department building, the vice president's residence, and all foreign diplomatic missions in Washington, D.C. The protective mission includes protective operations to coordinate manpower and logistics with state and local law enforcement, protective advances to conduct site and venue assessments for protectees, and protective intelligence to investigate all manners of threats made against protectees. The Secret Service is the lead agency in charge of the planning, coordination, and implementation of security operations for events designated as National Special Security Events (NSSE). As part of the Service's mission of preventing an incident before it occurs, the agency relies on meticulous advance work and threat assessments developed by its Intelligence Division to identify potential risks to protectees.

Investigative mission

The Secret Service safeguards the payment and financial systems of the United States from a wide range of financial and electronic-based crimes. Financial investigations include counterfeit US currency, bank and financial institution fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, illicit financing operations, and major conspiracies. Electronic investigations include cybercrime, network intrusions, identity theft, access device fraud, credit card fraud, and intellectual property crimes. The Secret Service is also a member of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) which investigates and combats terrorism on a national and international scale. Also, the Secret Service investigates missing and exploited children and is a partner of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

The Secret Service's initial responsibility was to investigate the counterfeiting of US currency, which was rampant following the American Civil War. The agency then evolved into the United States' first domestic intelligence and counterintelligence agency. Many of the agency's missions were later taken over by subsequent agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and IRS Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI).

I hope these civil servants recover well and are able to resume their lives. Envisioning their duties, they likely can't always avoid crowds or other close exposure to people they don't know.
