So the party with a history of inciting vigilante violence storms a VPs airplane and isn't shot dead by secret service.
Is there an issue with the secret service actually doing their job, or do they just give Republicans a pass?
as a vp candidate from a major party, vance also gets secret service protection
So... secret service vs secret service shootout? Maybe it happened and it was so secret no-one knows about it!
My dad knows a guy who got shot. Totally. He works with him over at that place where the cheese is made. I mean beer. They make all the beer together and they’re good friends and I know him too. My dad can beat up your dad.
They probably view Vance less as a threat and more as an awkward and socially oblivious guy
If they were tasked with protecting a furniture outlet, on the other hand...
What if they thought they smelled fentanyl or heard an acorn drop?
If they thought they smelled fentanyl, they would have a seizure and pass out. Fentanyl doesn't affect cops the way it affects human beings.
Killing and barring entrance are very different. Security clearances and need are big factors
Why would the secret service be guarding an empty plane?
To prevent things like bombs being planted?
TBF its the same SS that thought a shooter on a rooftop overlooking a candidate was no issue
I mean, I'd have slacked off too
Vance is bombing big time.
Isn't that what regular security is for?
Secret Service is regular security for a vice president.
I suppose as a non American my idea of what the secret service actually is / does may be a little skewed by Hollywood
The secret service exists to prevent counterfeiting US money, as a side job they also protect a few people in government.
It’s basically government security for the president and vice president as well as all former ones because we have a long history of shooting our presidents. They also investigate counterfeiting which was their original job, they just happened to be formed shortly before the first successful presidential assassination
To prevent weirdos from wandering in and jerking off on the furniture?
To prevent JD from fucking any couches in there?
