I think it was just heavier than they expected. This was the day they decided to add armor to the Presidential Limousine.
As a German I needed a moment to realize that SS meant secret service.
Context
The Schutzstaffel was a major paramilitary organisation under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II.
As an American, I have to admit that I thought the same thing.
GIVE IT TIME
Nobody calls it the SS for that reason
The following is a (mostly) true story:
In 1981, when this happened, I was walking to school (yes, I’m older than you) when a woman ran out of her house, down the driveway, stopped, and screamed at me “The President can’t open the car door!”
I was not impressed, had no idea how I could help the President open the car door, even if I wanted to, which I did not. So, I kept walking. Years later, upon reflection, I decided that was the correct response.
But like, why did she tell you?
??? I guess she just needed to shout it at someone? She was very distraught. She ran into the street to shout it, I just happened to be there, walking by. I assume.
Maybe you gave off big ‘save the president’ energy.
Don’t shorten Secret Service to SS.
Yeah there’s a reason they go by the USSS
that last guy on left looks like he’s done with this bullshit and is gonna just shoot the fucking thing open. 'Merica.
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!
