Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Unfortunately, secret service protection isn't just about physically protecting him. It's also about protecting the information that he knows.
How's that working out? Pretty sure that they didn't protect a bunch of info at his home.
Didn't some of them even assist in covering for Jan 6th and or the documents fiasco ?
Deleted texts on SS phones say "yes"
Yes. Maybe he goes to a Supermax to ensure no more leaks.
It’s because there was a “no guns in the shitter” policy in place at Mar-A-Lago.
Seems like the simplest method for dealing with traitors goes back to a long drop and a short rope.
If done right it can be relatively quick and painless. I have never felt the need to learnt to tie a noose, but I'll give it a shot for that piece of filth.
I'd prefer that he die alone in solitary confinement, or a botched lethal injection.
A quick death is too good for him.
It's not hard. Every good fishing knot is also a potential noose. Get out there and teach your kids and friends how to fish, young sailor!
Been a long time since I went fishing as anything else than a chance to hang with a friend, and kill a six pack on a nice sunny day.
Hell, I've just sat with him while he fished and we shot the shit for a couple hours.
It was in a public park, catch and release system. So a little chatter wasn't gonna spook the fish anymore than a playground of kids screaming.
I’m willing to gamble on him not actually remembering anything useful to those who would pay for it, hence the document hoarding.
Anyone with half a brain should know not to trust a thing he says. Yeah, if I were looking for intelligence info from him, I'd want the documents, too, not his word.
Ah. Good point, yes.
Though… I can think of cheaper ways to protect that information. We won’t talk about that, though. Don’t need a visit from the FBI.
That's why he needs to be locked up at ADX Florence.
Is it?
In a normal situation yes. The protection is there to deal with leaks via kidnapping and interrogation.
Trump is, at least in semi-recent history, the only president who believes that the rules of state secrets do not apply to him.
