    Some comments sound a bit weird, when you forget SS stands for Secret Service here.

      Fun fact: the USSS was founded in 1865, 60 years before the Schutzstaffel. It was originally created to combat counterfeit currency, but in 1901 after President McKinley was assassinated their mission expanded to include protecting key political leaders. It now plays a dual role of protecting political leaders and the US’s financial system.

    lol, that moment when those in power realize that they aren’t untouchable. Fuck Trump, but it is nice to see some small examples of Dems feeling the results of their own actions. Always shooting themselves in the foot with their allowing the right to dictate their actions instead of making attempts to listen to what the real left has been warning them about. At this point it would be at least entertaining to see Biden become a paranoid fuck losing what is left of his mind.

    Would of course also lead to even more clampdowns on leftists of all flavors either due to creating more laws that will not be used against the right (seeing how conservatives tend to watch out for their own). Or it could lead to even more expansions to the fascist Patriot Act.

      Sorry, but how is this an example of Dems feeling the results of their own actions?

        They allow for the far-right and the Q folks to spread. By their actions, now Biden can’t trust his own SS agents without paranoia about who they support. The efforts to be seen as being the party that “works across the aisle” by intentionally gutting everything they present in all but the names of the bills. So we keep catering to and moving towards the right, while being told that we actually won somehow.
