I'm still very unclear as to the actual extent of fascist/Trumpist sympathies in the Secret Service.

On the one hand, obviously you're selecting for top-tier professionalism and competence, but on the other, you're selecting within a group of people for whom authoritarianism tendencies are already self-selecting, right?

And, possibly, you're pitting the lower ranks against Trump-appointed administrators (linking bcuz the SnapChat shit is legit hilarious after the deleted texts saga).

Makes you wonder.

And I'm not someone who has ever even remotely thought "huh, yeah, I guess it's true that all cops are bastards!", because I've previously been indoctrinated by the jedi order, so I know that only a sith deals in absolutes.

    And still, to his death, Trump will have US American citizens as his Secret Service detail, being continually mistreated and abused by the Fuckwit In Chief.

Perfect sentence. I wish we could free his non-SS underlings, but I can't even seem to convince them that they're being abused, which is step 1.
