The princess and prince don’t let underlings use their toilets. So what do underlings do? Hold it, of course. Yes for eight hours! What are you, some kind of bleeding heart do-gooder?
In a multi-bylined article one of America’s top investigative news outlets has chronicled in leg-crossing detail the apparently extreme difficulty that the Secret Service detail assigned to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have had in finding a place to go to the bathroom.
According to the Washington Post the president’s daughter and her top White House adviser spouse have apparently exiled the squad of men and women assigned to keep them from harm’s way from using the toilets in their sprawling Washington DC mansion.
“Instructed not to use any of the half-dozen bathrooms inside the couple’s house, the Secret Service detail assigned to President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law spent months searching for a reliable restroom to use on the job,” the paper reported, citing neighbors and law enforcement official.
Cry me a river; you can’t expect royalty to let just anyone use their toilets!
It added that Secret Service members in the couple’s detail who were desperate to relieve themselves had resorted to a porta-potty, as well as bathrooms at the homes of Barack Obama and Vice-President Mike Pence.
I’d be tempted to pee in a bucket and then pour it somewhere they wouldn’t want it poured.

You overlooked this part:
Oh, come on. That’s *nothing* compared to what transwomen have to suffer. At least these people, when they’re done waiting eight hours, can go to a regular public restroom that matches their gender identity. As you say, cry me a river, secret service agents.
Australian news site reports:
It does make me wonder if other staff such as cleaners and cooks were allowed to use the toilets? If yes, why not the SS detail? Surely their job is just as important as the cook? If no, are there any employment laws that would come into play? There4 would be in NZ and I suspect pretty much every where.
I just can’t imagine the stupidity of denying a toilet to the people who have been charged with protecting my life. Apart from the fact that someone who is busting to go to the loo is going to be much less able to be observant, clear minded and physically responsive enough to do their job; if they have the choice of taking a bullet for me, I wouldn’t want them thinking ‘Am I going to risk dying for this arsehole?’.
Rob, I know employers have to allow you breaks, during which you can use the toilet. I am not sure if they are allowed to supply the toilet. Restaurants are required to supply toilets for customers and workers, but individuals? Well, you wouldn’t expect a Prince and Princess to be bound by the law, would you?
I don’t like Mike Pence. But…he is a better man than the Trumps. (Not that being better than the Trumps is a hard obstacle to hurdle; I think most can do it, except maybe Guiliani, Cruz, and a couple of other bottom feeders.)
I don’t know the lawsin the US regarding toilets – though I suspect they change from state-to-state – but in the UK if one employs people and any part of their work requires being in one’s home, the home is classed as a place of work and bathroom facilities must be supplied.
“Oh, I’m not allowed to use any of the bathrooms? OK, then.”
*Squats, and does their business right there on the carpet*.

My personal fantasy is on the last day they are required to be their bodyguards they do exactly that. I know I would.
