'That should never have happened': Inside Trump's Walter Reed parade

Afterward, members of the Secret Service voiced escalating concern at what many of the agency's personnel have determined is total disregard for their well-being amid a deadly and highly contagious pandemic. Agents have tested positive for the virus while traveling for the President's political rallies, which he insisted on maintaining even against federal health guidelines. As employees self-quarantine or isolate in place, others have been forced to work longer hours to fill the void.

It's a situation that has prompted growing and more vocal concern.

"That should never have happened," one current Secret Service agent who works on the presidential and first family detail said after Trump's drive-by, adding that those agents who went along for the ride would now be required to quarantine.

"I mean, I wouldn't want to be around them," the agent said, expressing a view that multiple people at the Secret Service also voiced in the wake of Sunday's appearance. "The frustration with how we're treated when it comes to decisions on this illness goes back before this though. We're not disposable."

1. So where is Pence?

After this I think we should codify that if the VP and three Cabinet level officers question the intended actions of a President, then the SS, military, and/or other Executive branch officials stops the President from taking that action.

The nuclear codes come to mind.

[Maxheader]

4. Oh yeah..

The codes. stumpy has always been a national security risk.

Fucking big mouth...Who knows what secrets putin now has...

As far as this deal? The ss just need to say no....

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

14. he's at the residence gettin amy covid barrett prepped.

reported here yesterday that jared is running the white house.

[lastlib]

19. Jared--Al Haig sans battle-ribbons?

"I am in control here..."

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

20. that's what it sounds like. pretty sure it was lincoln project that reported that.

[disalitervisum]

2. yeah I want to send an email to the white house

requesting that this filthy psychopath pedophile money laundering extortionist bloodsucking cockroach trump and his infected pus-bag children die horrible excruciating deaths but I don't want to get arrested. what should I do?

[Wicked Blue]

18. Gentle Reader,

Electronic communications are so very informal. If you sincerely wish to express your sentiments, please consider writing them in cursive with blue ink on monogrammed stationery. You will make a much more personal impression by doing so.

Ms. Manners

[modrepub]

3. Lack of Respect

This is a perfect example of what Trump meant when he claimed military service personnel were chumps. Politicians who have no skin in the game will use them for props and silly sacrifices all for their own personal aggrandizement.

[onetexan]

5. Everywhere the Con goes he sucks the air out of it, usurps it for his showboating and

self-aggrandizement, grifts it for whatever it can provide for him to appease his bottomless thirst for praise, favors and power. Even when he's sick as a dog he behaves poorly. I hope covid does him in. it would be a fitting end to a science-denying ignoramus whose incompetence has harmed hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention devastate the greatest economy in the world.

[japple]

6. I think that if they really did give him dexamethasone, he's on a steroid high.

Wonder if he's using adderall in addition. He could move mountains on that combination. He's gonna come down hard.

[luvtheGWN]

22. Yes.

Definitely.

[DeminPennswoods]

24. Yeah,

my dad occassionally took 2 two week course of prednisone for joint inflammation and was always full of pep after the first day of doses.

[Nay]

29. One can only hope that he is going to come down hard. Really hard. nt

[ResistantAmerican17]

7. This anus maggot has shown that he has learned nothing, despite getting covid. Time to

make his continuing reckless disregard for others’ lives a campaign ad. Let up???, fuck no. Go drumph on his ass- double and triple down on the callousness and ignorance. Oh, and fuck Greg Abbott again today.

[brewens]

8. The country will be destroyed if Trump loses. In his mind, his collaborators, staff, SS, donors,

followers, and military and medical personnel, should be willing to risk their lives to get him elected. That's what he's thinking. It will be interesting if any of those donors he met with Thursday get sick. I wonder if they will feel the same way. One thing about wealthy people. They like being rich and being alive to enjoy it. I bet they would prefer a Biden presidency to being dead.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

26. The country will be destroyed if he wins.

I'm hoping the adage of giving him enough rope proves true on this and he does himself in completely before election day.

[lark]

9. He got it wrong.

According to his boss he is totally disposable and insignificant and means absolutely zero. 5 min. of "fun" for drumpf and he's willing to kill 6 folks for it and feel no remorse.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

28. tRump is incapable of seeing the lives of others as anything other than an extension of himself.

For him, living things are nothing more than pieces of furniture to be moved around or thrown out at will. Hundreds of mental health professionals have affirmed that he is a malignant narcissist. This is classic behavior. He's dangerous.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. "We're not disposable"

Um, yeah you are... in this administration. Just look at the revolving door of appointees.

[Sherman A1]

12. Precisely

I am surprised it has taken this agent that long to figure this all out.

[Trumpocalypse]

13. FYI

[Kali]

33. not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if

Sherman A1 has you on ignore. which means stalking him with this all over the site makes you look bad.

[3Hotdogs]

11. He has a total disregard---

And they just riddled it out?

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

15. when ss agents are speaking out, shit is gettin real.

that just doesnt happen.

[crickets]

31. It's unprecedented. It's mind-blowing.

Other than terse statements that the president is protected at all times, the level of professionalism is so high that they have never said anything before. Never.

Of course, no president has ever callously endangered them this way before.

[bluevoter4life]

16. BlUe LiVeS mAtTeR eom

[ms liberty]

17. "We're not disposable"... but to them, yes you are. We all are n/r

[Deuxcents]

21. It's always after the fact

Apologies or that should not have happened crap. The damage is done so why doesn’t someone say “NO”. Who in this government will be a leader n shut this bully down? I just can’t believe nothing can be done.

[Ford_Prefect]

23. Ill Dupe Rides again!

[DeminPennswoods]

25. Wonder how many agents will now ask to be part

of Biden's or Harris' detail?

[Texin]

27. It was like that tweet yesterday about "Weekend at Bernie's".

The joking tweet being about Jared being "seen entering the WH with a a notebook and a copy of Weekend at Bernie's. It was awfully hard to watch that head-scratching spectacle of WH Kim being driven around like a tyrannical toddler. What an obscene embarrassment.

[usaf-vet]

30. Sorry guys but in this idiots view YOU ARE DISPOSABLE. When you signed up you knew you.....

...... might take a bullet for the person you cover. But this idiot expects you to face a viral firing squad every moment of every day.

BUT your family didn't sign up to be a possible casualty of this heartless idiot. DID THEY?

[Bayard]

32. We're not disposable

Has anyone claimed that domain name yet?

It should be on TV ads and billboards across the country: WE, THE PEOPLE, ARE NOT DISPOSABLE!
