Secret Service are cops, Commander bites them, therefore Commander says ACAB.

Commander 2024.

I thought it was Major? Does he have 2 dogs that bite people?

And yes. It’s not totally logical, but I kind of liked that Biden’s dog was biting people. I tend to assume that a lot of people who work in the White House are bad people, and if someone’s dog is going in and biting them then I’m gonna assume without evidence that it had a good reason.

Yeah, it's Major. From Biden worries the Secret Service may be loyal to Trump, according to a new book:

According to a new book offering an inside look at President Joe Biden’s White House, Biden actively distrusts the Secret Service to the point that he does not speak freely in front of his agents and he believed that the agency lied about an incident where Biden’s German shepherd Major bit an agent.

In The Fight of His Life, out January 17, author Chris Whipple details how Biden was showing a friend around the White House and pointed to the spot where Major allegedly bit a member of Biden’s security team. “Look, the Secret Service are never up here. It didn’t happen,” said Biden.

Cops framing people, cops killing dogs. I'm surprised they're not part of the official screening process along with the "you must score under this IQ level to be good at this job" filter.

He literally has two dogs that love biting cops.

Or who cops love lying about being bit by.

Major was removed from the White House because it was apparently too stressful for a rescue. Commander is a puppy they raised in the WH but he apparently just loves the taste of bacon.

That or the agents getting bitten were abusing him to get him to bite. It's pretty unlikely that a puppy with a series of trainers wouldn't stop biting pigs.
