Donald Trump is asking voters in Pennsylvania again to make him leader of a “failed nation." Kamala Harris countered from a Michigan church pulpit that God offers America a “divine plan strong enough to heal division."

    Source? I want to read that story and have a laugh.

    Edit: I couldn’t find a case where the USSS took on trespassers. I can only find preventative measures.

      Shortening Secret Service to SS sure seems weird when nazis are threatening to take hold of power. Caught me off guard.

          I am undecided wether pointing that out was necessary. I just made an offhand comment and you did too. I did not think you were implying something. Hope I didn’t cause distress.

            Nah, you’re right to have pointed it out, especially because of the circumstances. No distress here. ☮

          I think typically people use “USSS” for this reason.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ashli_Babbitt

      Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service after attempting to force entry into the Speakers’ Lobby. After being repeatedly warned by secret service that they will be shot if they press forward, Zachary Alam broke the window and Babbitt attempted to rush in past the broken glass. Then she got shot. Big surprise.

        Ashli Babbitt isn’t an example of the USSS taking down a threat. Your source claims:

        she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.

        The USCP isn’t the USSS (by my understanding, which is based on Wiki). I understand that the USSS were present at Jan 6 though, so your point stands.

          Hmm, actually, that’s a pretty solid point. I missed that detail. Thanks for pointing that out.

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
