I'll tell you EXACTLY what the 'culture' of the Secret Service is and then some! [View all]

I have already written posts about the 'sex romps' and the 'drinking within the Secret Service. So let's move on from there, though congressional oversight will be reviewing that as well, once again.

Some reports are a little more thorough then the WaPo, concerning the shooting at the White House from Constitution Ave. "They somehow came to the conclusion it was a shooting argument between two people on the street."

In the most current incident, the 'crash box' right inside the doorway to the White House had been "muted".

Soooooooo, let me explain the culture. The White House USHERS inside wanted it muted, because they said it was TOO NOISY! Oh my, was it agitating to read their cell phones, texts, etc. while listening to the BEEP every time someone entered?

Now back to the shooting on Constitution Ave. It was a White House M A I D who was dusting who saw the BROKEN WINDOW and glass on the floor! The BROKEN GLASS! Soooo, then they go look outside and find chunks of concrete laying below where bullets hit the White House AND the window. But it was beneath them when the incident happened, to go and look while they were ON THE JOB? These 'ushers' and these 'agents' don't deserve their jobs! Turn them loose to the unconnected world like the rest of us live in. They won't be able to stand on their own two feet. All of this is so absurd, it's unfuckingbelievable!

I'll bet they're good at backslapping and taking selfies and enjoying the "look at me job".

What is the culture? It is people, working on our tax payer dime, that are SO DAMN FULL OF THEMSELVES, who were raised in an elite lazy culture! They are our nations brightest? World class educations? Elite connected family members? I've worked on campaigns where this culture is their breeding ground for future work. The Yale interns...blah blah. Oxford....blah blah. Let me tell you....even in a campaign capacity, THEY S U C K !

That is the damn truth. So I hope Cummings, on the committee today, can see further than what steps were not taken as to improve future roles by the Secret Service. Was the first point guy near the door where he was suppose to be or off to the right? He was off to the right. Nothing can improve that, unless he is a little more serious about his job. The shooting at the White House that broke a window? Just because someone says it was two people fighting on the street, they don't even look, do a walkabout? And, the ushers don't like the beeping on the CRASH BOX inside the door? Then go get a civilian job somewhere else. Then see how full of yourself you are.

Only when you realize that, can you improve it. So many are looking for work, that would love to be an usher and listen to that beep. For the beep means someone is entering and to be aware of anyone without a pass. That means it's your turn to protect the POTUS. WOW! But the usher's think they are more important, and that little annoying beep...beep....beep.

This....is a culture of B R A T S!

Start there Rep. Cummings.....these are my tax dollars!
