Much like recipients of welfare are entitled to benefits.

In 2017, I wasn't even paying attention to or thinking about Trump or politics in general.

It would seem that President Trumps "SS detail" was largely comprised of Homeland Security Investigation agents instead of standard Secret Service.

Agents that were pulled off other cases like child trafficking and money laundering and given a glitchy 2 hour Zoom presentation on how to protect a President for training.

I'm pretty sure Green Day wouldn't accept that level of incompetence.

I mean it looks pretty bad in comparison for sure.

As for the drone operator….?

Some people are just an American Idiot.

What really makes me laugh is that Green Day thinks they are important enough that someone would want to drone strike them.

No, I mean an actual enumerated entitlement, not welfare.

I see. You mean enumerated entitlements.

An enumerated government entitlement refers to specific benefits or services that the government is required to provide, as explicitly outlined in legislation or the Constitution. These entitlements are often part of social safety nets and include programs like TANF, SNAP, SSI, Unemployment Insurance, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in the United States.

The term “enumerated” means that these entitlements are clearly listed and defined by law, ensuring that eligible individuals have a legal right to receive them. This contrasts with discretionary programs, which are funded through annual appropriations and can vary year to year.

Sounds like government teats to me.

Hey. We are all lucky enough to be the villains we despised in our youth.

To be fair, Dookie was an incredible album.

So then are you saying that everyone that is currently being protected by the USSS should have that protection stripped and they should pay for their own protection out of pocket?

Or are you only saying this because Trump said something that hurt your feelings once upon a time?

a reply to: theatreboy

Damn Hells Angels. See what happens when they are all trippin on acid?!

That 1 single violent event....pounded a nail into the "peace and love" era.

There are entitlements and then there "entitlements".

A vet that serves and completes his/her contractual obligation is ENTITLED to VA benefits.

A person that works their entire life paying into social security and medicare are ENTITLED to those benefits that they paid into.

Those are far different from the welfare programs that are habitually abused by those that don't contribute meaningfully to the betterment of society.

All of the other former presidents require much less security because they are home writing their memoirs instead of holding huge rallies.

Trump never hurt my feelings because I don't have any feelings.

I receive both VA benefits and military retirement pay and am not ashamed to say that those are government teats.
