Wouldn't it be safer to have random teens make it? If a plain clothes secret service agent walks into McDonalds and orders a big mac, there is a lot less risk of someone being able to poison the president.

If I recall correctly this is what they do for Air Force One when they're prepositioning food and supplies for when the plane comes in. Even then the food selected for prep would be selected at random (so you'd have 5 teams of agents buying food at different locations, and then which food they use is also selected at random).

The History Channel used to be good for something beyond Aliens and Meth Star Truckers.

This. It's the same reason they don't use food service suppliers at the WH and instead send agents to buy food in plain clothes.

Wouldn't it be a hint when a guy in dark sunglasses built like an Olympic swimmer comes into the store and buys two cases of diet sodas, ketchup and a bag of off-brand hamburger patties?

Presidential security always seems so hit or miss on being ultra spy stuff or not. LIke i know they collect the president's poop when he travels to keep spys from stealing national state secrets and a doctor follows him around with a tank of his own blood in case of emergencies but then he can just announce he eats the same fast food every day and any teen that knew he was in town that day could just cum on all the burgers and have at least reasonable odds the president was going to get one of them.

Point of terminology, when someone says "high six figures" do they mean like $185,000 or like $800,000?

You know what bothers me about this view the most? The GOP tax plan doesn’t exist in a vacuum; it works in concert with their ideas for entitlement cuts, healthcare cuts and welfare reform. Someone might end up with a bit more money in their pocket due to taxes, but they’re going to feel it when their SSA check is cut, or when their ACA subsidy no longer exists. You can’t be in favor of one without the other. It’s all one system.

I'm not in favor of the Trump tax cuts, my point this entire time has been that blue states should #resist it by raising their top income and corporate rates, not by fighting to make sure other affluent people get a piece of the loot while our infrastructure and schools crumble.

My understanding was if you have to work to maintain your standard of living, you are not wealthy. Upper middle class maybe sure, but not wealthy. When you can golf and travel all you want, and not worry about paying for anything despite not working, then and only then you are wealthy. Arguments about where to cut off middle class from upper middle class are silly anyway, the guy in the bigger house across town is not your enemy here.

Sometimes I miss Spicey. He was a reprehensible sniveling lying invertebrate, too, but it was easier to laugh at his bumbling rear end, than impervious, ice cold, reality-denier ShuckS. The Mooch was summoned in a flash, as quick as FAKE NEWS, and then vanished into the veil faster than you can talk about stabbing someone's eyes out to obtain power at a Hannukah party.

Saying someone doesn't need a tax cut isn't treating them like an "enemy".

It is astonishing that Reaganism has been so successful at indoctrinating even the Democratic party that even paying a tax rate still lower than what they would have paid in 1980 is treated like a mortal threat by affluent HENRYs
