Senators expressed openness to additional Secret Service funding on Monday following another assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

“If the Secret Service is in need of more resources, we are prepared in providing it for them, possibly in the upcoming funding agreement,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in remarks on the Senate floor.


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) did not address the funding but said Trump must receive the security needed to protect him.

“The American people deserve answers,” McConnell said. “They deserve assurances that a former president, who tens of millions of Americans have nominated once again, will receive every appropriate measure of security, and they ought to receive them without delay.”

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'm curious as to how throwing more money alone at an incompetent, inept organization is going to improve it? :shrug:

Improve it?  Who said anything about improving it?  It is simply an excuse to spend more money, pile on more debt, and buy votes.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Even if they give the agency more money, it will just be spent on more DEI/LGBTQ nonsense.
