Biden plays landlord to the Secret Service

It's not enough that he gets free protection and a salary from the taxpayers but now the Secret Service pays to be close to him.

Slick Willy did the same thing. Secret Service rents a guest house on the grounds of their Chappaqua, NY home.

Real nice, huh? Get secret service protection on the backs of the taxpayers and you charge them rent!

When we have a Congress and President ready and willing to create and enforce laws that make themselves kings and queens of a nation of slaves, does this really surprise us anymore?

I am ok with this, but he should have at least gave them a discount

Biden is a tool

It's actually far from the worst treatment that protectees have been said to treat the USSS; however I doubt this will fall under the budget cuts, so what other program will be losing money, that was deemed "less important" for an agency struggling to convert from MP5s to M4s there's several weapons that could have been allocated. Pennies in the face of trillions but despicable behavior nonetheless.

First off....what a waste of money. Why attach a SS detail to a person who has been brain dead for decades?

Read the article. Apparently they rent a building anyway. They approached him because his was on the market. It makes sense in this particular case. I don't see a problem with it.

If they were a protective detail for someone else and Biden was making a quick buck off of their needs...I'd still be frustrated, but it's his property. In this case, however, the people paying him rent are the people being paid to protect his sorry rear. It's like making your chauffeur pay for parking in your driveway, to me.
