has inquired about replacing his FBI security detail with private guards, and has asked about maintaining a direct phone line to the White House, including in his car.

@GottaLaff I mean, I guess if I were him, I wouldn't want armed FBI agents too close to me, either.

@Laffy This private security detail, is it called SA or SS?

@hans Blackwater. It's called Blackwater, and was used in DOGE's agency occupations already.

@GottaLaff
“…traditionally…” i.e., when the U.S. Constitution was still in effect & when gov’t officials meant it when they swore their oath to the Constitution. IOW, the good old days.

@cynblogger Good old days... 3 months ago.

@Phoenix Gee Dodgy bunch too, doing the dirty work on silence.

I was referring to another government, a while ago, that also had its own, private security detail.

SS basically means "security detail"...

@hans In a way, yes, but not so much in the sense of 'security detail protecting a person' (well, that is unless you make that person Hitler, in which case yeah...it checks out).

One could argue that Blackwater is pretty much on SS level however, what with war criminals and killers being their main staff as far as i've read...

@GottaLaff

enter blackwater private militia.... 150K+ per person...

@GottaLaff hé is afraid of the #fbi agents is a logical thought no?

@GottaLaff Funny that the FBI director doesn't seem to trust the FBI to keep him safe?

@petergleick Nor the president for that matter. Nor anyone. The trust level with that whole bunch must be zero.

And Trump foments that, then pits them against each other.

@GottaLaff @petergleick That they would take steps to create their version of the SA has been expected.

@GottaLaff @petergleick @Nonya_Bidniss ...exactly this....there is a roadmap that these people are familiar with and using....the move to "private security" is one stop along the way to, well, the end

@petergleick @GottaLaff

I'd hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it's beginning to look like even Gofer Ka$h knows something about the FBI he's creating that he's not telling us about.

@petergleick is he worried he'll suffer the same fate as the similar Caligula?

@GottaLaff
Why not just blow Donald in that park across the street in broad daylight???

@GottaLaff
Why doesn't he just climb into Trump's ass?
