    Well kids, gather 'round and let me tell you about the before times. Back in my day the Secret Service would be on this guy like white on rice.

        You’re missing my point. Threats against the President of the United States used to be investigated. Every. One.

        Hell, my gf wrote some shit about killing Reagan in her journal or essay or whatever. Forgot how it got out 35 years ago, don’t remember. USSS showed up to question a cute little white girl. A high school junior. From a very nice suburb.

        Nobody got a pass on shit like that.

      they still do. this guy didn’t say he intended to do anything though, which is a pretty big difference
