The WHAT??

For real: is that how the secret service really is abbreviated? Talk about a Freudian slip...

(And I know that the secret service is older... I think)

Usually people use USSS for this reason

I always thought the USSS was the GOP.

Including the Secret Service themselves...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

No, it's USSS. For exactly that reason.

The secret service was established by the Department of the Treasury 159 years ago under the Abraham Lincoln to suppress the counterfeiting of currency, which is still their primary mission

Grant expanded them to guarding the president, at least that's what Wild Wild West claims. Still wanna know what they did with the giant spider tank.

They didn't start guarding the president until 1901. So, not Grant.

...but I love how you didn't argue about the giant spider tank.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

They clearly know what they did with the thing.

"Wild Wild West" was a movie starring Will Smith.

I thought it was a documentary

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

That was The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
