seems like there was talk that the SS had been drinking and partying the night before Kennedy was assassinated.

My best friend ended up marrying a girl whose family was in the mafia. Her brother, who was bad shit, got into the Secret Service. I figured from then on it was shady.

tweeted, posted etc., support for the insurrection and called it justified and implied that Biden is not a legit President. These are agents who are at times a couple feet away from Biden and Harris, and are carrying live round-loaded weapons.

Also a huge Trump partisan was pulled out of the SS to work for Trump in the WH, on political shenanigans, and now is back in the SS, near the top of the food chain.


super fucked up shite

Yeah, I watched first part of it and I found that Nixon was real scumbag with using the Secret Service. It is worth watching especially learning about Nixon crap

Am looking forward to reading Leonnig’s book. From the interview, it sounds there are longstanding and serious problems that need to be addressed.

He was the asshole who organized the superspreader Trump rallies that sickened/exposed 300 Secret Service Agents.

processes. That will take at least two full terms of a President. AND it must also include the scum part of the CIA and FBI. They are in cahoots against whomever they deem as liberal, Democratic, or decent.

Requirements for elected federal office are written in the constitution and so are quite difficult if not impossible to change (say for example to weed out the crazies like MGT and the outrageously corrupt like DJT).

I had access to technical manuals for maintenance and handling of nuclear weapons when I was in the military. I had to undergo a regular psychological evaluation or my access would be rescinded.

IIWK (If I were King) I would implement a requirement for such periodical reviews for holding any federal, state and county jobs that give the prospective employee the power to make decisions that impact people's lives.
