Thanks rayb. Why is the SS in charge of protection of all heads of State at the UN or anywhere in the USA ? There are 193 sovereign State members. Plus their delegates/staff. Do we get paid for their protection ? What do those SS personnel do after a UN General Assembly ? Ensuring the protection of all the heads of State at the UN would take quite an army.

Oh, wait. The UN has an army.

a un rep is NOT head of state
and no the delegates do not rate SS protection

a real head of state when in the USA does rate SS protection when here

are you afraid of UN troops ?
why ?

Then why is the SS short on agents to protect your next President ?

Biden spoke at the UN General Assembly. As did Netanyahu.

Now I wonder about everyday Ambassadors

No one is ray ray. Where do they get their conscripts ? Do they even have a military base ?

THE ARE MEMBER NATIONS TROOPS

depends on the region and who volunteers when
there is no standing UN army
are you in fear of google again

''The UN has no standing army or police force of its own, and Member States are asked to contribute military and police personnel required for each operation. Peacekeepers wear their countries’ uniform and are identified as UN peacekeepers only by a UN blue helmet or beret and a badge. Civilian staff of peace operations are international civil servants, recruited and deployed by the UN Secretariat.

Information about UN Peacekeeping Missions, including the breakdown of the troop-contributing countries, is available through the UN Peacekeeping website.''

So, did the UN recruit the UNWRA staff that serves in the Middle East?

The UN needs to find a new sugar daddy. I'm done with her crap.

So I have a question. It's known that every former president from a certain time period has secret service assigned to them for the rest of their lives. What happens when they want to go out and no one is available? Or better yet, if they have their own personal secret service assigned 24/7, couldn't they "borrow" them for the Trump rally?





One of the many reasons that the USSS has gone to crap in recent years might be attributed to it being moved from the U.S. Department of the Treasury to being under the Department of Homeland Shenanigans Security.

Secret Service is shocked and unprepared when they both happened at the same time.

Has this ever happened before? I don't recall the Secret Service ever being unprepared to provide protection during an election.



For some perspective:
Trump has held 37 rallies this cycle so far. Harris and Biden have held a combined 13 rallies so far. Just like election cycles prior, Trump places a disproportionate strain on the Secret Services for campaign security.

Complaining he isn't be treated fairly when they only provide security for 3x as many rallies for his campaign doesn't seem to make sense.

Are you suggesting that the government should restrict campaign activities?

No. They're free to hold whatever rallies they like. I'm saying their access to government-funded services during the campaign is not unlimited, and they already use more government handout security than any other campaign.
