      A senior Secret Service official briefed on the planning for the Wisconsin rally said the agency was “never configured to provide such an elevated level of protection for an increasing number of protected.” The official was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

      “Our personnel and equipment are being pushed to their limits to sustain the current operational tempo,” the official said. “This proposed Wisconsin event also took place during the United Nations General Assembly, where the Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of over 140 world leaders amid a challenged global threat level.”

      Seems like a reasonable justification based on check notes literally everything happening right now.

      Weird how OP’s article misses out on this key piece of information. Might be a bit of bias there 🤔.

      Now is probably the best time to try counterfeiting US bills.

        Nothing weird about it. This is propaganda. You don’t accidentally accuse the current president of enabling political violence against their rival who has already had two (maybe three if the talk of Iran’s plans are true) attempts on their life. OP is calling this evidence of Biden’s danger to democracy in other comments in this post.

      It’s not, hence why they didn’t do it. The Secret Service does need to protect trump for the rest of his life, unfortunately, since he was a US president, and he was never held accountable for his ten thousand crimes as president.

      From would be assassins. Like the first guy, who donated to act blue. Or the second who donated to the Democrats and had a Harris bumper sticker.

      Doesn’t sound like Republicans to me

          The guy hiding in the bushes with a rifle waiting for Trump wasn’t an assassination attempt?

          Does it bother you to speak in such opposition to what’s plainly true?

        Both donated to act blue. A group I have never heard of but it’s interesting they both donated to it.

            That doesn’t make him a republican. Several of my friends are Democrats but registered Republicans. It’s how you vote in the primaries.

              That makes him a Republican lol

              Unless he is running for office you either are registered Republican or are running as a Republican there’s really no other metric to define someone by their political party
