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!

She would have been an amazing president compared to what we have now.
A crusty cum sock on a stick would have been an amazing president compared to what you have now
Or a maggoty cum fart even
Don't say their name. You summon them when you say their name!!!
He's higher up in the chain... He's already watching you, with only one hand visible.
It's kind of weird how the CHP has become a hammer for things distinctly not about the highway. Got crime in Oakland? Send in the CHP with video cameras. Got homelessness? Send in the CHP to do a sweep. Need security? Send in the CHP. That being said this is the least offensive unorthodox use Newsome has used the CHP for.
CHP is california's state law enforcement agency, since "merging" with CSP (state police) in the 1990s.
TIL
As I understand the CHP absorbed the California State Police several years ago and are basically the equivalent of State Police or State Troopers in other states.
CHP are to highways what RCMP are to horses
What does john frusciante have to do with horses?
I mean, the FBI is totally compromised at this point anyways. I wouldn't count on them protecting me if I was the political opposition to Mango Mussolini.
As soon as I read this I had to go and listen to the CHiPS TV theme.
Paunch!
Hm. Wouldn't the State Guard of California be more suitable for military-adjacent things like bodyguards?
I mean, tbh, I would consider VIP protection to be far less military-adjacent than police adjacent.
I am of the mind that America is headed into a civil war. I bet a chunk of the Union army in the 1st American Civil War was dedicated to guarding politicians and commanders from Confederate assassins.
Wrong!
It was the Fucking Pinkertons!
Allan Pinkerton's one saving grace is that he was an abolitionist. He volunteered his company's services as both PR and ideological motivation. This would pay off for him in the end as the Union politicians remembered the favor and awarded his company lucrative contracts in both Reconstruction and the last of the Indian Wars... And of course, union busting.
Permanent protection services like Secret Service wouldn't be formed until McKinley's assassination, until then it was generally a mixture of private guards and yes, sometimes military units, but it wasn't common for them to be permanent details.
Imagine being a member of the secret service, and following this fucking idiots orders to not protect his political opponents... The absolute shame across the board of those in any form of LAW enforcement, and following out the most unamerican orders seen this side of Russia... You are all scum. Because of people like you, dictators are allowed to be dictators. Because you, their right and left hands, do the their evil bidding. Shame on you. Shame on you all.
In case there was still any question of if Harris was a cop.
Okay, now do the CDC
