Low class humour from the snobbish, pseudo, intellectual Spectator hacks. They're a boring, gutless lot, all have the same politics, same narrative, while naval gazing in their champagne socialist, echo chamber.
Strangely tone deaf, given the seriousness of the issue. Critics of Trump suggest he cheapens and coursens political discourse, but The Spectator's choice of 'chummy banter' to discuss these events does just the same thing. I'm usually a fan of the paper - this conversation was juvenile and disappointing.
To be fair, being utterly sombre about it will not bring anyone dead back to life, nor reduce the threats to democracy and law and order that this assassination attempt highlighted.

These guys aren't getting this completely straight and need to review their competence. The director of the Secret Service was an agent for decades and then retired and became a corporate security chief. Because Biden knew her from when she protected him many years ago, he asked her to come back to government and take the job. So, no -- she didn't make a career out of guarding chips before taking control of the agency. However, I agree that it appears from the actions of bumbling agents that diversity and equal outcomes" were favored over ability to do the job effectively.
CEO's need to be getting into positions of power to improve and maintain the organisation, NOT TO PUSH FOR MORE WOMEN AND DIVERSITY HIRES. Woke is now lowering standards to a poor level and destroying everything...to dangerous levels.
We saw how well the two brunettes (and the blonde, but at least the blonde tried to protect Trump) did ... They both appeared to be scared senseless. Saw that the short stubby brunette can crouch pretty well to hide herself.

Cheatle needs to go, but she actually did have a long career in the Secret Service (1995-2018), the last two years as Deputy Assistant Director. The Pepsi / Cheetos came afterward.
Is there a reason those female agents were not supported? If I'd be a tall agent and see my colleague really struggling shielding off Trump - who is a massive dude, he is very tall, I''d just help and not wait by the car. I'm sure they all have their jobs to do, but why were so many agents assigned to protect the motorcade and so little to be with Trump after he was shot? 5 agents with Trump, counted over 15 at the motorcade.
@victoryforvictims3522 0 seconds ago A meritocracy could have any number of women or any other. A percentage mandate, a polarities of discrimination, and etc. are not meritocracy.
Roger Kimball talks sense - more so than Freddy. At last the spectator is beginning to be slightly reasonable......time for major changes at the spectator long overdue.
The problem of overcorrection for past discrimination manifests itself in multiple ways. The supposed justification for the overcorrection comes from a common mindset. The mindset of quotas and equality of outcome, rather than equality of opportunity. The mindset of making decisions based on identity and political ideology, rather than based on merit. The mindset that you're on the right side of history if you decide not to appoint a straight, cis, white male.
What a bizarre interview. Even if you have someone on who is blatently misogynistic and also rewrites history for their political agenda I woudl expect a competent interviewer to push back on that.
Re the incompetent tiny female bodyguards? He is only saying what KJK is saying. And they are both correct. Only a genderwoo idiot would say otherwise. Also, the only person called a genius during this interview happened to be a woman, Susie Wiles - that’s a piss poor “misogynist”
They should stick to discussing the political aspects because they are not military or security experts. They're analysis of the Secret Service tactics and operations were laughable.
@@MasterMalrubius Well they didn't discuss layered security perimeters and who was responsible for each one, tier scanning for threats, the speed/actions of the counter snipers, lines of defense, weaponry and Secret Service tactics. Instead we get, 'Oh the female agent looked funny when she was bundling him in the car'. Go and watch something like Task & Purpose for a proper military analysis, not these amateurs.
Gross negligence at best.

Intentional.
Trump can also thank the short ‘diversity’ hire for the ultimate victory photo. Anyone over 6ft would have ruined it!
