    I have a family member who is retired Secret Service. He said the same thing about the politics and the stress. It's apparently not the best run organization, has low morale, and has a lot of people burn out. But yes, they are very gung ho. I understand it. When you're protecting world leaders, better safe than sorry (especially when you and your colleagues are being asked to take the bullet for them).

    Everything I've ever read suggests (or heard) suggests a toxic workplace. I'm actually surprised that more problems don't become public even if some have in recent years.

    No. They haven’t been. Twitter saw exactly what I did and his supporters confirmed it. Read the statement.

    That. Or they have gone to other forums like gatorchatter and tRant to express their indefensible views. An echo chamber of ignorance and stupidity is what they are looking for.

    Was the first President to attend the March for Life, fulfilling his campaign promise to protect unborn life as well as religious liberty
    Putting America First
    Helping businesses with tax cuts
    Abraham Accords-The 2020 agreement among Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain represents a massive breakthrough, one that encouraged similar pacts with Morocco and Sudan

    Economic Recovery
    The Wall
    Striking Down Terrorists
    Cracking down on illegal immigrants
    VA-accountability-act

    Our economy before the lock down from covid-which is one thing I'm not happy he did
    All the jobs he created
    Black unemployment record low
    America largest oil producer
    Black business ownership grew 400% in one year

    unemployment claims dropped before covid
    Businesses were reinvesting back into the America
    Food stamps usage fell
    Trump appointing over 200 federal Judges
    Trump meeting with Kim Jong Un
    Stock market
    NATO allies finally started paying more
    This is just a few. Could you imagine what he could have accomplished if all these fake witch hunts and false impeachment didn't happen? Only the unhinged leftist believe President Trump is racist, no rational thinking American would believe that lie

    You try to make yourself and others sound rational, but your responses prove other wise

    Anything a chimpanzee could have done. A chimp can give a signature for tax cuts or point at a name on a list provided by the Federalist Society. trump and a chimp are equally adept at throwing feces. The main difference is that a chimp has a higher EQ a better vocabulary.

    The organizations that change political leaders every few years are always a hot mess. Had a good friend that worked in State protection and said they had like 20 Directors in 21 years. Each with their own ideas.....

    Several of these are hardly accomplishments. e.g. jobs, economy, meeting with KJU (btw who called the US it's "biggest enemy" today)

    But here's a few more you forgot:

    Drained the swamp: Dems will control congress and the exec branch
    22m sick, 328k dead from covid

    Trump really gummed up the works. His actions since losing the election have been irrational and strongman. You don’t have to agree to the rest of the piling on about Trump but it’s disingenuous to not recognize what’s happened since America vote him out.

    It's a shit list. I am sure if I dig in, there are a couple of good things in there.
    A lot of the list is a continuation of what started in Obama era (stock market, unemployment, oil production). Trump woke up on third base and thought he hit a triple. In the end, he got tagged out between third and homeplate because ETTD.
    The fact that the poster lists a meeting with Kim as an accomplishment shows the delusion. Kim played and outmaneuvered trump like he was a four year old. Not to mention, when Obama suggested meeting with Kim, it was akin to terrorism by the alt right.
    The wall? What a joke. The little that was put up was from money taken from military family infrastructure.

    The only accomplishment that matters to trump is that he made money off his rubes, and continues to do so.

    Apparently “Back The Blue” means physically back the blue into a wall and attempt to crush them to death. Good job MAGA nation.

    When Bill Clinton went through impeachment, the business of government and his administration's objectives continued as if nothing happened.

    It wasn't used as an excuse for minimal and poor performance.

    National Guard only took 4 hours to arrive after being requested. Standby at Armory 40 minutes away.
    Some debate among twitiots as to whether the rules were changed for the DCNG response or duties. Who knows...

    Here’s the Wall Street Journal (!!!) on how Trump and his enablers worked for weeks to set the stage for his insurrection.

    feel free to point out and refute specific lies rather than relying on generic insults.
