Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Would be wild to watch Michelle's Secret Service detail beat up Donald's Secret Service detail.
It'd probably be more like:
Michelle's detail: "Can't you just tell him to sit down?"
Donald's detail: "yeah don't worry about it. we're used to it by now, skinny Jonas over there can hold him in a seat one handed, just put a big Mac on the table and he'll forget all about this in like 30 seconds"
Theyre eating the bigmacs, theyre eating the mcchickens, theyre eating the fast food of the people that live there.
I suspect both details would detain him. Like, you have to be an idiot to bring any secret service to attack someone protected by the secret service. It’s on par with attempting to counterfeit around them
It would be wild to watch Michelle walk Trump up and down the streets.
Even better is the fact that Trump's Secret Service detail would likely be... shall we say "less than motivated" to protect their charge
I don't know about that. Remember that the Secret Service "lost" all their text messages from Jan 6th.
I want to believe they "lost" them because they called him names
Achh, good point. I'd forgotten about that
Would be nice to think so, but apparently they're Trumpers.
Makes sense. Very few others want anything to do with him in person even in an official capacity.
Imagine having to be near him and do what he says all day
So a friend works in a building in DC that also has some USSS offices. They said that a lot of them are Trumpers. I had the same thought as you when the news came out years ago that he had bankrupted their budget. Friend said no, they still love him.
Does she have secret service?
