Wiles, 68, was not in attendance at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday, where a gunman exchanged shots with Secret Service. But some critics are pointing to Wiles—who oversees the Secret Service in her role—for security lapses that put Donald Trump and top administration officials at risk.

A former administration official told RealClear Politics that Wiles, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, is to blame, after allowing Secret Service Director Sean Curran to remain in his position despite “numerous failures.”

“They’re about to fire Kash, and he had nothing to do with this,” the source told the outlet, referencing reports that Trump is considering ousting FBI Director Kash Patel.

“Susie oversees the Secret Service, and it’s failure after failure after failure, and she gets no blame,” the source added.

Others, however, have said that it wasn’t Wiles, but Trump’s own sons who advocated for Curran, who was sworn in on the president’s second inauguration, to land the top job.

21. I remember that 'toon from early in his FIRST term -- and GOPers didn't learn their lesson. nt

2. what does it even matter

4. L Ron Hubbard

I worked for Cisco Systems. After I left, around 2000, one of the Vice Presidents made waves for swooning to the press about how much she loved the fact that Cisco had adopted L RON HUBBARD'S MANAGMENT PRINCIPLES. It caused a brief furor and then it just went away. BUT HAVING WORKED THERE, I can share that:

1). EVERY QUARTER, 100% of ALL employees are REVIEWED.
2). EVERY employee is ranked into one of three categories: top, middle, bottom.
3). TOP employees are praised and told to keep up the good work if they want to stay in the top.
4). BOTTOM employees are given until the NEXT quarter to shape up or ship out and I don't think I ever saw anyone who landed in that category pull themselves out of it because they were made to feel like lepers who could infect the rest of the flock.
5). MIDDLE employees were told "Well, look...you could end up JOBLESS like THESE GUYS OVER HERE, or, we could LOVE YOU like these guys over here, and the CHOICE IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU.

...all of which created the worst back-stabbing, throat-slitting, ass-kissing environment you could POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

And I think we see a lot of it at the White House because Trump is absolutely the kind of guy who wants his ass kissed almost as much as he wants to crucify those who refuse to do so.

[Skittles]

5. yup.....that system is ridiculous

for example, top/bottom/middle makes the assumption there ARE non-perfomers on every team which certainly is NOT the case

from my experience in IT, I noticed a lot of the "top" folk got on exceedingly well with management

[Miles Archer]

7. Same as Trump's "important new roles" for Noem and Bondi

I think anyone not in the cult knows he just kicked them to the curb.

He also doesn't want them spilling secrets or creating bad headlines so he threw them some cash or other incentive and job title he made up and off they went.

At Cisco, most of the tech employees are ALWAYS on one or more PROJECTS.

A LOT of Cisco projects never get finished...they run out of money, the people working on them lose interest, a LOT of reasons.

If you were a "BOTTOM" and your project tanked, you were shown the door.

If you were a "TOP," there was usually an announcement like

"We want to thank SKITTLES for the FINE WORK on "PROJECT X," but they are needed on the MUCH MORE CRITICAL PROJECT, "Project Y"...

They just keep shuffling the "golden children" from one failure to the next while telling the company how brilliant and valued they are.

I don't know if anyone on DU who has not worked at Cisco (or doesn't know anyone who has) "buys" the corporate culture public image they project, but I would encourage them to not do that, as it is every bit as fictional as Trump being "a bold and decisive leader."

11. Didn't Cisco go belly up?

Or got bought out by somebody?
Don't really pay much attention to tech companies, their products rarely work the way they are intended, or live up their breathless hype. They have become a necessary evil, as far as I am concerned.

[Miles Archer]

12. No, I don't believe they did.

I haven't followed them for the last 25 years. Abuse survivors seldom feel like returning to the scene of the crime. But if you look at the chronology on the Wikipedia page, they HAVE had a dizzying number of layoffs & "restructurings."

It was like trying to work in a war zone, like that "courtyard" scene in Saving Private Ryan where all hell was breaking loose.

15. That sucks,they had outstanding routers when they bought Linksys. I still have one setting in

a closet that worked perfect when I replaced it. It was one of those bullet proof WRT54G,only good for 54Mbps. I think I bought it around 2003/2004 when COX finally offered HSI.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. GE Did That With Welch At The Helm

Cull the bottom 20% every year.
But, they're financial success was an illusion.
Tax avoidance (in some cases illegal) & their financial services made nearly all the money.
They were once the world's largest company in value & revenue.
Now they're 37th in value (in the US, not globally) & not in the top 100 in revenue.
So, the Welch way was actually disastrous.

[Miles Archer]

18. Cisco is an ongoing shell game.

If you look at their profit and loss cycles, "profit" cycles are usually preceded by some form of restructuring and layoffs.

The "profits" are often salaries no longer being paid.

There's also a steady undercurrent of cruelty in play. When I worked there, John Chambers was still CEO. They framed him as a soft-spoken benign Buddha figure. When I left...I took the same severance package as 8000 fellow employees, including my boss (a decent guy who remains a friend), Chambers was interviewed in his office. He basically said the people who were laid off had it coming because it dismayed him that he would look out his window and see so many cars gone after 5 PM.

So many of the "perks" Cisco offered...fitness center, multiple cafeterias with a WIDE array of international cuisines / food choices, were not there because they loved their employees. IT'S BECAUSE THEY NEVER WANTED THEM TO LEAVE THE OFFICE.

We got a contemporary taste of this when Musk took over Twitter and expected the employees to sleep at the office (and provide their own toilet paper).

[Nasruddin]

19. Statistics

Huh. I just don't see the Boss doing anything like that. It would be beyond him.

I expect working there is like working in the court of one of the Plantagenets. One of the bad ones.

[GoCubsGo]

6. Yup, and the replacements are always worse than the originals.

This will be no different. We'll just have even more chaos and infighting to look forward to.

[malaise]

3. Eat one another MAGAts

I’m lovin it.

[Traildogbob]

8. All them damn women folk.

Get! Get on outcheer! Get back where ya belong.

[BigmanPigman]

9. She's a woman, so of course she'll be fired before Kash is.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

10. Another day, another woman fired...

When will they fire Hegseth, Patel, Mullin, Blanche, Bessent, Rubio and the rest of the goons?

[Miles Archer]

13. It's a 2-sided coin

I think the "woman" angle is 100% legitimate, because that's how women who enter into Trump's orbit are invariably treated.

The men are a different story. It all hinges on "toxic masculinity" and bravado and above all else, 100% fealty, the lowest boot-licking sycophants imaginable.

Rubio became infinitely valuable to Trump because Trump BROKE him, EMASCULATED him, HUMILIATED him, gave him one of his schoolyard bully childish "nicknames," and Rubio's response was "PLEASE, SIR, can I have another?"

And that's like heroin in the vein for a guy like Trump.

[Fil1957]

16. Whatever. She doesn't have much influence now anyway. She did her damage back in '24. She's pretty much irrelevant now.

[Johonny]

17. To be fair, Trump only hires piles of human shit

So the replacement isn't going to be better.

[eppur_se_muova]

20. I've read some things about Wiles being the only really competent one there. But she has cancer, so fire her !!

I guess clown college is out for Spring Break from now on.

[valleyrogue]

22. All the women being axed.

Meanwhile, the dipshit males like Trump, Vance, RFK Jr., Patel, and Kegsbreath are allowed to stay.
