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!

The secret service don’t fuck around baby.
Obviously this is not the case here, but the reason that I assume they didn’t care to ask questions is because it was apparent that their intention was crime, the extent of it remained unknown to the servicemen at the time.
Now I’m not justifying it through “could’ve been anything”
But imagine if they had more nefarious intentions rather than the probable Nintendo Switch sitting on the passenger seat or something like that. And that’s the issue with accidentally fucking with a nation head’s family. There is very little/no lenience.
It's not just secret service. There's plenty of private citizens who'd open fire, no questions asked, on someone breaking into their car.
And assuming there's nobody else around but me and the guy breaking into my car...
Unless you're buddies with the sheriff in the middle of farmtown; you're going to have to explain the trajectory of your bullets being the wrong way around for self defense.
"Who gives a fuck about an Oxford Comma ... " - Vampire Weekend. Apparently you and I do, after seeing the commenter's sentence construction.
or shoot someone for pulling into their driveway by mistake
They didn't hit anything so it seems like they were fucking around a bit
Like the time someone just walked into the whithouse and no one did anything because they in fact fuck around a lot. They just like to use their guns, it's in their blood.
Walk in the right entrance at the right time and it's not that hard. What's hard is getting past the multiple checkpoints to get to anyone/anything sensitive.
