Does Ms. Cheatle's resignation (head of Secret Service) change anything?
One good thing about her resignation is that someone in government is taking responsibility for something.
Compare that to some other administrations where really bad people were kept on for years because they were incompetent but friendly to the president.
Will this change how the Secret Service operates? Doubtful.

Nope. Same shit different day.
Just a statement like public hanging centuries ago for your misdoings.
I was just thinking about this before I saw that she had resigned. I’m so sick of people saying “I take full responsibility” for whatever and never really do anything. What does that really mean?
I admit I was wrong and go about my life?
But I think the buck stopped at her and she needed to resign.
I hope this changes things because this should never have happened. Ever.
The entire assassination event smells worse than 3 day old dirty diapers. The excuse of “I made a mistake” doesn’t account for all the bad stuff. If I had an employee that made gross negligent errors of the level made that day, I’d fire them on the spot. Yet no one was fired. She even refused to resign initially. She readily jumped on the story of the buck stops with her and she was ultimately responsible for the event, but I’m certain that either she wasn’t the one that planned the entire protection scheme and made changes to it as it went (in which case someone else should have been fired immediately) OR she WAS the one that planned the entire thing and should have been fired immediately. Resigning is too easy for this level of screw-up.
So no, there are no repercussions for anyone, her resignation will not change anything. What it does is allow things to now move at even a slower pace towards getting any meaningful data out. I’m thinking yesterday’s grilling in front of Congress was her equivalent of Biden’s debate with Trump. She looked SO bad and made it look like she was covering things up, that those on the other side (not the congressional side) finally told her to stop helping them and to resign.
She took responsibility… for what?
She wasn’t on site. She didn’t decide to let Cheeto McJesus take the stage when she knew about a potential shooter.
At least I don’t think so.
The site control was really the one at fault on those counts.
Her only apparent mistake was not supplying more manpower. That’s understandable, since these campaign stops are numerous, and each is different.
It’s the right move. When something bad happens under your watch, the correct thing to do is take responsibility for the team you manage and resign. The people onsite who clearly fucked up should also resign/be fired. It’s her job to ensure the leaders below her are doing their jobs.
No, the administrators have very little to do with the actual functioning of the employees.
She did the right thing by resigning. Hopefully some others there will lose their jobs, resign or get demoted. No matter how much some may dislike Trump, what happened was inexcusable and if he were killed, it would have been horrible. They’re all extremely lucky he wasn’t hurt worse than he was.
I think they’ll take security more seriously so I do think it’s a good thing. If nothing else it finally got Biden to approve security for RFK as he’d requested!
This was the right move.
You couldn’t pay me, to work security for Trump.
Does nobody remember, how often Trump made sure to wave to people during his NY trial appearances?
I guarantee that ZERO SS agents told Trump he should stand up and act like a hard ass, when there could have been more threats right after Crooks was downed.
He WANTED to go and lead the J6ers in person.
He’s FAR too complacent, and he actively seeks violence.
If he had gotten shot by a second person, while fist pumping, would it still be SOMEONE else’s fault?
As far as I am aware, the intelligence about a possible Iranian plot to kill Trump was already know before THAT rally.
Is there ANY doubt, Trump would have wanted to go on against the advice of his security team? Hardly.
I hope she makes millions, when she writes a book about her experiences with Trump.
She WILL, in many cases, be bound by her oaths and law. However. As long as she doesn’t expose any details about his classified protection, she can tell the world how much of an asshole he was.
Although. I believe that she is probably more classy than that.
Unlike Trump, she likely earned her position, and was highly qualified.
My only request, is that MTG, be his new HOS.
