Amusing that he got the thumbs up from the Prez.
Somewhat impressive that he got close enough to Trump, in the Capitol no less, to pull this off. Probably lucky he didn’t get shot.
Secret Service don’t shoot too many people, I think they prefer to tackle.
Check out Mitch McConnell’s shit-eating grin!
UGH, i hate that Alfred E. Newman “what, me worry?” grin and this pudgy, small hands thumbs-up he reflexively gives.
White guy in a suit. Easy-peasy.
The cure for McConnell’s shit-eating grin is a thumbs-down vote by McCain on a failed health-care bill. Priceless!

Shoes are more traditional. Better aerodynamics too.
I’m sure Secret Service agents are very professional, but if there’s any part of them that thinks “pfeh, getting hit by a dog turd or two won’t kill the guy”, I have to believe that part has never been closer to the foreground than it is now.

I’m sure those agents, stiffed on pay, would have stopped anything really dangerous, like a shoe.
This has caused an operational strain (fewer agents means longer hours for each of them), and it has also placed the Secret Service dead last, at number 305, in the overall rankings of the best places to work index within the federal government.
Or not.
