7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The past couple of years have not been good for the Secret Service's reputation. They used to seem like they were the elite, now they come across as bad as any law enforcement organization.
Well it doesn’t help that they’re recruiting through YouTube and Plex ads, and candidates have disclosed Trump loyalty questions during the interview process.
Not being very secret either
Mostly made up of former cops, so it all tracks
There are no more adults in government rn. America is devolving into Lord of the Flies.
Oh perfect. I GOT THE CONCH.
many may have a conch but mine is THE Conch and I have it.
ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH!
Isn't the whole point of Lord of the Flies that the adults ain't better and any level of civilisation is just a thin layer on top? From the beginning that the boys told themselves they were the social elite and had civilized manners, which would make it easy for them to retain civilization to the end
spoiler
where the captain of the army ship that rescued them just asked something along the line of "what have you boys been up to? Playing war?"
The point of Lord of the Flies is that the upper class are always brutal savages.
This, and that modern civilization is only four collective missed meals away from brutality.
Thats largely untrue though. In crises people come together. The term academics use is "spontaneous self organization". It's really just the upper classes who turn to brutality at every possible opportunity.
I would think it shows that even the upper class is. That would be contrary to general opinion at the time. Although lower classes weren't part of the story, it doesn't exempt them.
It's a story. There was a real life group of boys that got stranded and they got along just fine.
There was also a soccer team whose plane crashed in the Andes, and even they got along fine. Even with the cannibalism.
The Praetorian Guard is starting to fight amongst itself ...... that's usually not a good sign for the empire.
Okay say what you want about the praetorian guard, but they were much cooler than anything the secret service is rocking.
Say what you want about uniforms, but the praetorian guard didn't have these: 
Best I can do is an AR-15 with a 3d printed bicycle mount.
Unfortunately that doesn't look as cool as a roman chariot with some spears, IMO.
I think there's some coolness potential for an e-trike modified in the fashion of a technical
A horseless carriage with laser spears
Now we're talking
Gay E-trike technical vs Fascist cyber trecnical when?
Eh, they say that gun was a DEI hire. They'll get rid of it.
They'll get rid of it.
A gun? In this country? It's got more rights than most of us.
Until someone points out the gun is black!
The tank that looks like a car...that looks like a tank.
Holy shit, is that a minigun?
Yes it is. That isn't a Denali, it's an APC.
The article said:
Journalist Susan Crabtree posted video and audio of the altercation on Twitter, noting that the incident took place about two miles from the White House.
So I went to look for her twitter post in her profile, and I just have to say, what the fuck is up with that lady? She's supposed to be a Journalist?
She even blamed the fight between the secret service officers on diversity, equality and inclusion.
Edit: Here's the link via xcancel so you don't have to give her impressions: https://xcancel.com/susancrabtree/status/1927394294949671141
I kind of curious why a journalist was hanging outside Obama's house at 2:30 a.m..
Yeah, this makes me think that maybe one of the two agents is a MAGAt and wanted to stir up something outside Obama's place that this journalist, and I use the term very loosely, could record.
Ah, from the Breitbart school of "journalism."
Clearly they were probably on their period and this is why we need to ban DEI.
/s obviously
secret service - public drama
WORLDSTAR!
Disgusting to see that this is being reported on as a DEI issue through the twitter link.
This is absolutely hilarious to me in its randomness. Pure Onion headline.
