10% of Secret Service Officers Sidelined by COVID: ‘These Are The Things They Did Not Sign Up For’

90 comments

    1. Biden needs to lay low and not move for the next 2 months. It’s possible with Zoom / teleconferencing. Colleges do it. Businesses do it.

  1. And I bet they didn’t sign up for having to guard the door when t’rump sneaks into Ivanka’s room to steal her underwear either.

    1. @feldspar hoobyshoob you must be one of those people who aren’t smart enough to realize they’re the dumbest person in the room. And only 3rd graders use emojis. Get off the internet and grow up.

    2. @beltar amidaus Don’t u have a rally to attend? It’s not pretty out there so take care. Some of those people are revolting and disgusting so stay away from them. They may have the T-fever don’t cha know?

    3. @beltar amidaus I’m 41 and use emojis. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 And have a college degree in Mathematics and English. 😀😀😀😀🤣🤣🤣

  2. Intentionally infecting someone with a disease is a criminal offense. “the US Justice Department announced that any individual who purposefully spreads COVID-19 could be charged with terrorism for the “purposeful exposure and infection of others.””

    1. @beltar amidaus
      There’s no insult! The only insult is someone UNDERESTIMATING a deadly virus for no reason simply because of their perspectives! It is a dumb comment to assume they will be fine! People are dying from COVID regardless of other conditions or quality of care. I work in a hospital. Don’t treat COVID like the flu or you will be caught off guard suffering and on your death bed. Im sick of losing patients over ignorance!

  3. Every President can expect to have to tackle emergencies that arise while they are in office. It was always obvious that Trump could not be relied on to do so. But it is a shock to find him willfully, knowingly, making the problem worse.

    1. @beltar amidaus what about the ones that died? and don’t tell me it was just old people, old people like to live too.

  4. What’s stupid is people Trump’s say it not real! But then Trump said he had covid-19! That would mean that is a lie! Which is true?

    1. also, if Trump says injecting or ingesting bleach can treat covid, how can these people call themselves Trump supporters if they don’t follow his instructions?

    2. Covid is real, my mom had it. He just is saying that it isn’t because he is a narcissist and anything that is embarrassing to him he lies about, he doesn’t care who it affects as long as he can explain it away to protect his image.

    1. @beltar amidaus you will never learn, Biden was backed by several republican senators and congress in requesting the ukranian prosecutor was fired. trump and giuliani were not backed by congress or anyone and tried to blackmail the ukranian president into a lie and take over barisma for their own.

  5. The Trump administration was inept, massively ignorant, the depth of corruption is still unrevealed.Trump’s only skill was Poisoning the Wells of Our Institutions , like the CDC, Our Military, Elections, FDA , DOJ and on and on. The damage done is considerable. Rebuilding institutions with professionals and the Trust is a major challenge. We don’t even know the extent. Vote Biden/Harris and let us get started.

  6. Same for teachers who are forced back into classrooms amidst the spread of a deadly pandemic, this is not something we signed up for.

    1. @beltar amidaus I’ll let you on in a secret, lockdowns and masks work! Then you can return to some kind of normality! I know, I’ve lived through a successful response.

    2. @beltar amidaus why do more people live? some are called long haulers because they are left with brain or organ damage and will need health care.

    3. @beltar amidaus they’re not trying to frighten you beltar just make you cautious, and everyone has trouble wrapping their heads around a world virus.

    4. @beltar amidaus don’t believe that, everybody is afraid of the virus because they don’t know how it will affect them, remember politicians are just people like you. do you think politicians like giving out money? even if it’s not their own, they don’t like the virus and feel like everyone else, helpless.

  7. A leader will save his people, a cult leader will let his people die for him, trump need to be ship to The Hague and charge with crimes against humanity 250t thousand and growing

  8. Trump is selfish man….he doesn’t care about anybody .now this agent can infect their families ….thank God he is leaving soon….

  9. And then today he has secret service chasing after his car whilst he boosted his ego at the million morons march.

    1. And they still gotta learn how to count..lol..million?? Lol..couple thousand maybe ..but he has been know to slightly sorta maybe stretch the truth I hear…prolly just a rumour though lol

  10. In Germany the young people were asking their parents and grandparents how could people allow hitler to happen. Now the world knows. It takes one man and a bunch of enablers.

    1. @Lakesha Goodwin Look at what is going on in the US, in Washington, at his super spreader rallies. The ignorant uneducated are rising!

    2. Interesting fact – before he became Hitler’s #1 henchie, Hermann Goering used to be leader of the Reischtag (the German senate) in roughly the same position that Moscow Mitch McConnell now holds, and without his help behind the scenes Hitler could have never seized power.
