President Donald Trump said Monday he was ending “immediately” the Secret Service protection details assigned to Joe Biden’s adult children, which the former president had extended for six months shortly before leaving office in January.
Who fucking cares. Did Biden and the Democrats care about your safety enough to prevent this current situation? Guess what they are rich and will buy their security. And you get fucked 👏👏👏
Honestly it should be their fucking job to make society safe so they don’t have to pay for “security detail”. This isn’t rocket science you fucking boot lickers.
You’re not being downvoted because you’re wrong.
You’re being downvoted because you’re acting like an asshole.
Edit: To clarify, a lot of people are unaware of just how useless the corporate neoliberal party is. Being hostile about it doesn’t support your position. It just pisses off everyone else.
If I have to be an asshole for people to wake up then so be it. Edit no justice no peace everyone should be angry they should be at politicians House 24/7 protesting
Is it really necessary here, though? I understand Twitter or Reddit where the loudest jackass in the room gets the platform above the sea of propaganda and trash. But for Lemmy, you don’t need to be loud to stand out, and most of us are already progressive and open to considering that politicians on both sides have intentionally failed society for their own benefits.
Are we not against means testing? When I say I’m anti means testing I mean it. Who sets that threshold? What if the politician has $X with no family but another has $X with three kids? Is it per capita? If they can afford security for 2/3 kids do they just pick their favorite/least favorite? Do we still train the security detail? Do they have the same access to safety measures as government security personnel? Is that a world you want to live in where private security firms can close down buildings for the safety of an ex politician? Those people are not beholden to Americans, since they’re privately paid. What oversight are these private companies subjected to and who pays for that as oversight costs change? If we’re going to talk about how small a percentage of our budget feeding kids is, that should apply to keeping politicians safe if deemed necessary. Plus, imho I don’t think politicians should have to regularly and publicly disclose their net worth for the rest of their lives because they were elected to office at some point.

Honestly any politician over a certain net worth and their families should have to pay for their own security detail.

Not a good idea, if only because it further supports and legitimizes private security firms and embeds them deeper into government functions.
Based and true take, ngl.
When the democrats can only give us a senile old man, you know shits doomed.
