Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

*Yoink!* Stealing that.
Pretty sure that was stolen from a Hegseth reference. Still pretty good
As someone else I saw put it. wouldn't you need to be drunk to either deal with Rubio or after interacting with him
Put him to work on Hegseth's detail.
Truly representing the best the US has to offer
after becoming aggressive when Hotel Amigo staff refused to extend bar hours.
You've got to be fucking kidding me. How is he that much of an alcoholic, still such a poor drunk, and also simultaneously too stupid to just ask them for road beers to take with him and/or order a bottle to his hotel room? How the fuck was such a stupid motherfucker able to secure a job working for the U.S. Secretary of State?
He's a DEI hire...a drunk entitled idiot....
DUI hire
Two sources with direct knowledge of the situation told the Washington Examiner that the agent in question was "behaving erratically" and "became irate" when hotel staff refused to reopen the bar beyond its normal hours, the US media reports.
I mean - USSS has a reputation to uphold. Of being drunken, coke-snorting fuckups.
state diplomatic security services is not secret service (USSS)
Not really.
There was the Columbia brothel thing, but unless you've been to Cartegenia, you don't understand how plausible it is to not realize you're in a brothel for hours.
It's a blurry line when drunk and you definitely get steered to them by locals, even if you just ask for a place to drink, because they all serve cheap drinks so you use their other services.
But like, it's 100% legal. It's not going into a seedy underbelly like people assume, it could be a bar on the main strip thousands of people walk by daily.
USSS earned their reputation over many decades. That is not the only incident (and if I recall correctly, that incident was a lot more "involved" than your description).

Thanks for all the examples!
Ok. One of the first ones I remember reading about a few decades ago got a lot of news coverage at the time. In San Diego a bunch of drunk Secret Service agents started a bar fight and beat the shit out of a couple guys. One of the Secret Service agents bit a mans ear off during the fight.
The secret service officers protecting Kennedy were up all night drinking grain alcohol the night before he was assassinated.
Everyone is blaming this solely on alcohol but I’m guessing based on his job title and the situation that steroids share some of the blame. People don’t typically get all aggro with (presumably sober and calm) hotel staff over last call if they’re just wasted.

I've done bar and club work. It may "not typically" happen, but it happens often enough to be a constant problem in the business. Maybe it's 'roids, maybe the guy didn't get his leg over last night, maybe he's just an asshole and is always that way.

amid reports of Rubio’s security detail being stretched “to a near-breaking point.”
Maybe if they weren't drinking all night they wouldn't be stretched so thin, just a thought.
Stupid question, what does it mean when a security detail is being stretched "to a near-breaking point" and is that what normally happens when one of your bodyguards is arrested?
Whelp, I guess he’s gone to that prison in El Salvador. No way to get him back. They’d the rules.
As a nation I would be deeeeeeeply embarrassed.
We are, the problem is our administration is not. I am sure they see this as Brussels’s fault, not ours.
Sorry that you people have to live with this clownshow every day now, while I can just shut it out.
If your nation’s day planner is filled with one embarrassing moment after the next, do they really mean anything anymore on an individual level?
Such an embarrassment.
Ha ha!
