        The picture shows “SSECRETARY.” The quote shows “SSECRERARY.” Maybe I’m missing a joke, but it looks like a typo to me?

          The “joke” is that no one really knows if it’s an accidental typo or if the current regime just really wanted an SS in there. After all, this is the same regime that let a nepo baby do the Nazi salute at the inauguration, and let someone have a swastika-American flag mix at their desk then tried to excuse it.

            Right … I wasn’t referring to the first two letters. Or, indeed, the image.

            edit: To be perfectly clear, I did miss the implication of the “SS,” but I wasn’t talking about that. The commenter to whom I was responding misspelled “Secretary.” Not with the double S - not disregarding the importance of that, I just wasn’t talking about that. Rather that the double S, I was commenting on the fact that a T was (I think) mistyped as an R.

            However, I do appreciate you drawing my attention to the relevance of the part that wasn’t a typo.
