Are we all sure the SS was putting in 110% that day?

I get it - they're pros - but hear me out : Trump.

The WHAT??

For real: is that how the secret service really is abbreviated? Talk about a Freudian slip...

(And I know that the secret service is older... I think)

Usually people use USSS for this reason

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I always thought the USSS was the GOP.

Well you aint exactly wrong

Including the Secret Service themselves...

No, it's USSS. For exactly that reason.

The secret service was established by the Department of the Treasury 159 years ago under the Abraham Lincoln to suppress the counterfeiting of currency, which is still their primary mission

Grant expanded them to guarding the president, at least that's what Wild Wild West claims. Still wanna know what they did with the giant spider tank.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They didn't start guarding the president until 1901. So, not Grant.

...but I love how you didn't argue about the giant spider tank.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

They clearly know what they did with the thing.

"Wild Wild West" was a movie starring Will Smith.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was a documentary

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That was The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Umm, not really my point, but thanks, I guess?

They probably just had a use of force policy that required approval from above to use deadly force before anyone had shot.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

They do, because 99% of the time “that person right there!” is someone trying to take a picture of the president.
