Deadlines? What Deadlines?

Nuh uh. They are too manly and virile to be scared of jail. Soy! On another note, I don't know if it has to do with listening to the man child who's been standing at the podium for the last 4 years, but Biden's speech was incredible.

HoodedCrow Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Please tell me what is wrong with Randy Rainbow. It’s his real name, so I imagine that he made choices. His parodies helped me got me through the T years.( not just me) I admire his scansion the most:) I believe that Randy is gay, Jewish and Northeastern. He is a bold musical genius. Do I think all gay people are flamboyant or wear pink cat glasses? Of course not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to three people briefed on the plan, Trump issued a directive to extend post-presidency Secret Service protection to 13 members of his family who were not automatically entitled to receive it. ---break---- The perk for the Trump family is expected to cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars and further stress the elite federal security force, which in the last four years had to staff the largest number ever of full-time security details — up to 42 at one point, according to former senior administration officials.

Fez Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 2 minutes ago, Relic said: Why would this ever be allowed? It was allowed because Trump was President at the time, and authorizing additional protection details is something Presidents can do (both Bush and Obama extended temporary protection for their children beyond what the law specified; though obviously that was much fewer people). Presumably Biden could rescind the extra protection now, and maybe he will. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterfell is Burning Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 3 hours ago, DanteGabriel said: Nah. The last four years have convinced me that the US is indeed a special snowflake -- of dumb, over-privileged chuds who would rather burn the world down than confront their own ignorance. Right wing terrorists plotted to kidnap Michigan's governor because they couldn't deal with mask mandates. The uprising against Hillary Clinton for trying to get a whole country full of dumb MAGAts to wear masks might well be the boogaloo these chuds have been asking for. But those people were a minority, even if a significant one. There's these anti-masks, anti-vaccine idiots everywhere in the world. Also keep in mind that there's a decent chance Trump would be in jail for long at this point, or in the worst case scenario would have a much, much smaller platform for his bullshit.

Did you guys see that thing? It’s like a movie prop. Next time the US decides to invade somewhere, they don't even need weapons- just throw that thing from an airplane and when it hits the ground, it would be enough to cause an earthquake!

Fez Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 In a good break from norms, it looks like Biden is going hardball to prevent the "burrowing" that Trump people tried to do at federal agencies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
