I did corporate physical security at one point. It is unusual for cameras to cover individual offices. Cameras got cheap, but storing video at a useful resolution tends to make the bean-counters balk, so they normally cover building entrances and the outer perimeter.  Government offices are probably on a similar model.

That isn’t even remotely true. Service Academies are actually very selective, and require an appointment from a congresscritter. That SAT score ain’t gonna impress them. Even regular enlistment has a high rejection rate:

You have clearly forgotten the horrific tyranny that was “Gangnam Style”.

That is a very weird rule. It basically means “fuck off”, because Congress has never, to my knowledge, passed anything unanimously. The closest they’ve come was the Declaration of War on Japan in 1941, which was opposed by one vote.

I wore running shoes while I was at war. The gym didn’t allow combat boots.  I also wouldn’t blame the folks at Asics for the occasional waste of meat purchasing their footwear - there’s no background check to buy sneakers.  Not even fugly camo ones for the Gaptoothistan market.

Orange bothers me a lot more than it used to. So does purple:

The intent behind Executive Pardons (governors get them too) is as a check on a vindictive judiciary. It lets the chief executive show mercy when the courts have not.

SCOTUS did a lot of damage to election integrity in 2000 when they appointed a president.

Paradise, CA no longer exists.

They aren’t guard dogs. Agents go home at the end of their shift, when practical.  They currently pay to stay at Mar-a-Lago because he’s “traveling”, or more importantly, his detail with residences in the D.C. area are.

Fair enough. But don’t beat yourself up too much over an action that ultimately didn’t hurt anyone.
