I mean, a rent-a-cop is no trucker, and certainly no comedian-pro-wrestling-commentator-turned-conservative-hero, but it still makes you think "wow, those are words."

And with Hillary’s latest rise, I realize that her own leadership style — volcanic, impulsive, enabled by sycophants, and disdainful of the rules set for everyone else — hasn’t changed a bit.” If not from FOX it perfectly describes the GOP with the exception of the members that voted to impeach trump. Are you sure you're not mixing up your "Truth Social" feed from your FOX feed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So this authoritatve source was not just a rent-a-cop, it was a rent-a-cop who looked forward to serious injuries in the people he protected. Heck, if he sexually assaults a few women and bankrupts his security company, he could be the next GOP presidential nominee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The security detail hated Clinton and loved Trump. You think that says something about the candidates. I happen to think it says a lot more about the secret service.

Then ridicules and laughs at the injured student. Perhaps the poster knows a DZ like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are a doctor who is very happy to hear that one of your patients has died . . . If you are a skydiving instructor who laughs when someone you taught goes in . . .

brenthutch 383 #86 March 8, 2022 She actually said this, “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe," Harris explains while speaking slowly. “It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong” It has been reported on social media that she went on to say “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so that we ill be able to build up our future for our children.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't seem to know when to stop talking. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, so long we're being acerbic; that rent-a-cop's profile and opinion from their personal experience (likely including some very candid settings) is no less valid than the folks who post in this forum. A security agent's job is to protect their charge however they can, perhaps even sliding in under them at super-speed to catch a doomed elbow, but they're not obliged to like the charge or the detail.

It's not so bad because it fills in the downtime. I read through the thread hoping to unbaffle my silly self but remain unclear as to just where we are sending VP Harris. Now I do get it that some here wouldn't send her to 5 Guy's for a bag of burgers. I get that. I once sent my niece and it took like forever and the fries were cold. So count me in. Also, I don't think there were 5 Guy's when Reagan was around so it must be somewhere else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
