squistion

I only posted it once, but for some reason you copied it twice. As far as not receiving more threats, I don't recall any VPs dealing with something like this after leaving office: March 2025 arrest: In March 2025, after Harris left office, a Florida man was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill her with a sniper rifle.

And what other VP has received the same threat level of violence that she has? Considering that Trump has never had a problem breaking precedent or tradition it is laughable that the MAGA crowd would be outraged about this.

Exactly. I don't know why the Harris haters would have an issue with some additional protection time.

No reason to, as Trump is still a petty and vindictive little man.

CCR? I was hoping this a Creedence Clearwater Revival thread. Oh well, here's one of their better obscure tunes:

Not true. Fun Fact: Kamala Harris received 48.3% of the popular vote in the 2024 presidential election.

I wouldn't assume anything is remotely truthful that is reported by pjmedia.

Straw Man. Jeebus what a distortion of the point I was trying to make. Thought you were better than that. They were talking about the perceived versus actual occurance of murders by trans, not dismissing any murder as NBD. Please.

This should not surprise anyone. https://x.com/atrupar/status/1911813948912918658 (video clip at link) Trump says he'd like to deport American citizens to a gulag in El Salvador: "I'd like to go a step further. I said to Pam, I don't know what the laws are, we always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways ... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country."

I think they were referring to mass shootings or school shootings, not to murders committed by transgenders.

https://www.rawstory.com/senator-joni-ernst-writing-wall/ 'Joni Ernst saw writing on the wall': Critics pile on GOP senator after big announcement Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) won't be seeking re-election next year, according to sources, and social media reacted to the news. The 55-year-old Iraq War veteran has served in the U.S. Senate since 2015, but she has telling confidantes that she had accomplished what she had set out to do in Congress after two terms, and several Democratic officials from her state have already lined up as challengers, reported CBS News. "Every day we get a new Democratic member of the House or Senate that decides to run for this Senate seat — bring it on," Ernst said earlier this month at a meeting of the Westside Conservative Club. "Bring it on, folks. Because I tell you, at the end of the day, Iowa is going to be red." State Sen. Zach Wahls, state Rep. Josh Turek, and Des Moines School Board chairwoman Jackie Norris have already jumped into the 2026 race, and Democrat Catelin Drew flipped a state Senate this week in Iowa, but it's not clear what Republican the winner eventual would be facing with Ernst leaving Washington for the private sector. "Joni Ernst saw the writing on the wall," Wahls posted on X. "Iowans are fed up with rising costs and unchecked corruption. And next year, we're going to flip this seat." "Whether it's Joni Ernst or someone else, they'll have to answer for supporting cutting Iowans' healthcare in favor of a tax break for billionaires," said Turek. "When I'm in the Senate, I'll never forget about Iowa." "Joni Ernst can run from the mess she created but IA families will still be paying the price for her votes to slash Medicaid and health care funding to pay for handouts to billionaires," Francis wrote. "For whoever steps in to replace Joni as the GOP nominee, bring it on. I'm a mom on a mission to make Iowa better." "On Earth 2, where the establishment of the GOP in 2016 successfully stopped Trump’s hostile takeover of the party, Ernst is either serving as VP, on a GOP ticket in 2020 or 2024 or had run for top spot herself," speculated journalist Chuck Todd. "Understandable that Ernst is retiring," said X user Drew Savicki. "Being passed up for SecDef for a drunken imbecile is humiliating." "Smart move by Joni Ernst to retire rather than face a wave of negative ads from Democrats featuring her 'we all are going to die' quote from a town hall a few months back," added Democratic strategist Mike Nellis. "That was brutal — and in a midterm year, even in this partisan environment, it might’ve ended her career." "It turns out your constituents don't like being told 'well, we're all going to die' anyway, as you vote to strip away their health care," said political consultant Laura Packard. "Guess the GOP figured out this wasn't a winning slogan," added the Democratic National Committee.

Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, plans to announce that she will not run for re-election next year, according to three people familiar with her decision. The move, first reported by CBS News, would open up another potentially competitive race in Iowa, months after GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds announced she wouldn’t run for re-election either. But while Democrats have been eyeing underdog bids in both races, they’ve struggled in recent statewide elections and haven’t won a Senate race in the state since 2008. Another person familiar with the discussions said Ernst and her team had been wrestling with the decision for months. Ernst did not respond to a request for comment.

I haven't moved any goalposts.

Which cost taxpayers about $1.7 million over that period (and just for his kids and their spouses).

Grok Fun Fact! Grok@grok Yes, in 2021, Trump extended Secret Service protection for his four adult children (Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric, Tiffany) and their spouses for six months after leaving office. Reports indicate this cost taxpayers about $1.7 million over that period.

Oh, so you mean just like Trump.

Who says they are?

https://x.com/krassenstein/status/1961419440576209351 I hope that Newsom revokes Trump’s Secret Service detail on January 20, 2029.

No, Straw Man I am not saying that, not from POTUS himself.

It was and is needed due to Trump's continued hateful rhetoric against her.

Fun Fact: Never before has a president revoked the Secret Service protection of a former vice president.

https://x.com/ddale8/status/1961416936878661980 President Trump is, as always, telling the same debunked lies over and over again. Here are 10 he repeated in the past week alone: https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/politics/fact-check-trump-ukraine-inflation

Lets start with his 2025 statements about Canada, fact checked by Daniel Dale of CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/fact-check-trump-canada-claims/index.html Fact check: Nine Trump false claims about Canada WashingtonCNN — President Donald Trump keeps saying he wants Canada to become the 51st US state. To support his pitch, he keeps making false claims about Canada. In 2025 alone, Trump has: Falsely said the Canadian public likes the idea of becoming the 51st state, which the Canadian public overwhelmingly opposes Falsely said the US trade deficit with Canada is “$200 billion,” though it is nowhere close Falsely said Canada is one of the world’s highest-tariff countries, though it is actually low in global rankings Falsely said Canada hiked its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration, though they haven’t changed since Trump’s first presidency Falsely said Canada generally doesn’t “take” US agricultural exports, though Canada is the world’s second-biggest buyer of those exports Falsely said Canada prohibits US banks, though more than a dozen US banks are operating in Canada today Falsely said Canada is “constantly surrounded” by Chinese and Russian ships, though this is fiction Falsely said outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was using the ongoing tariff battle to run again for prime minister, though Trudeau clearly wasn’t running Falsely said Canada spends less than 1% of gross domestic product on defense, though NATO figures showed it was an estimated 1.37% last year Here is a fact check of these false statements. Canadians’ views on becoming the 51st state: Trump falsely claimed to reporters in January that “the people of Canada like” his idea of Canada joining the US. In fact, poll after poll has shown the idea is massively unpopular with the people of Canada – one recent poll had 85% opposed, 9% in favor – and it has been vehemently rejected by Canadian political leaders from left to right. The US trade deficit with Canada: Trump has repeatedly said the US has a “$200 billion” trade deficit with Canada. That’s not even close to true. Official US statistics show the 2024 deficit with Canada in goods and services trade was $35.7 billion. Even if you only count trade in goods and ignore the services trade at which the US excels, the deficit was $70.6 billion. Canada’s tariffs: Trump falsely claimed in a social media post Tuesday that Canada is “ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.” In fact, Canada has long had relatively low tariffs, though it has this month announced a series of new retaliatory tariffs on the US in direct response to Trump’s own new tariffs on Canada. Canada was just 102nd-highest on a World Bank list of 137 countries’ trade-weighted average tariff rates in 2022 – and had a lower average (1.37%) than the United States (1.49%) that year, the most recent for which the data is available. Canada’s dairy tariffs: Trump falsely claimed to reporters Friday that he had Canada’s dairy-tariff situation “well taken care of” at the time he left office the first time, “but under Biden, they just kept raising it.” In fact, Canada did not raise its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration. The tariffs Trump is denouncing were left in place by the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement he signed in 2018, though that agreement did secure greater US access to the Canadian dairy market. Trump has also persistently failed to mention that Canada’s high dairy tariffs only kick in after the US has hit a certain Trump-negotiated quantity of tariff-free dairy sales to Canada each year – and as the US dairy industry acknowledges, the US is not hitting its zero-tariff maximum in any category of dairy product, so the tariffs aren’t being applied. Canada’s imports of US agricultural products: Trump, speaking of Canada, claimed to reporters in February that “they don’t take our agricultural product for the most part”; he mentioned dairy, then said, “A little bit they do, but not much.” This is false even with Trump’s qualifiers. Canada was the world’s second-largest buyer of US agricultural exports in 2024, according to the US Department of Agriculture, purchasing about $28.4 billion worth. While Canada does limit foreign access to its dairy, egg and poultry markets in particular, these are exceptions rather than the rule. The US Department of Agriculture notes on its website that “almost all” US agricultural exports to Canada face zero tariffs or quotas, and that “Canada consistently ranks among our top markets for agricultural product exports, representing one of our most significant and reliable trading partners.” Canada and US banks: Trump falsely claimed in both February and March that Canada prohibits US banks. While Canada’s tight regulations have discouraged many foreign banks from opening retail branches there, Canada does not forbid these banks; in fact, US banks have been operating in Canada for well over a century. The Canadian Bankers Association industry group said in a February statement that “there are 16 U.S.-based bank subsidiaries and branches with around C$113 billion in assets currently operating in Canada” and that “U.S. banks now make up approximately half of all foreign bank assets in Canada.” Canada, Russia and China: Trump falsely claimed in a January social media post that Canada joining the US would secure Canada “from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them.” Canada has never been surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships, let alone been “constantly” surrounded. In fact, a smattering of Russian and Chinese military ships and jets, as well as Chinese research vessels viewed with suspicion by Canada and the US, have been occasionally spotted in recent years in the vicinity of the US state of Alaska – and have been monitored or intercepted by the Canadian and US militaries. The Canadian government did warn in December that among the “potential threats” in its Arctic region were “increased Russian activity in Canadian air approaches” and “China’s regular deployment of dual-use – having both research and military application – research vessels and surveillance platforms to collect data.” But that’s not the same as being “surrounded.” Trudeau and the trade war: Trump said in a social media post Thursday: “I think that Justin Trudeau is using the Tariff problem, which he has largely caused, in order to run again for Prime Minister.” Trump framed this as his own thought, but it was clearly false nonetheless. Trudeau’s successor as Liberal Party leader and prime minister was set to be chosen in a party vote three days following this Trump post; Trudeau did not compete in the leadership race after announcing in January that he would step down after the new leader was chosen. Canada’s defense spending: Trump falsely claimed in January that Canada spends “less than 1%” of GDP on defense. Official NATO figures show Canada spent an estimated 1.37% of GDP on defense in 2024, up from an estimated 1.31% in 2023 and from 1.2% in 2022. That’s all short of NATO’s 2% target, which incoming prime minister Mark Carney has vowed to meet by 2030, but not as low as Trump claimed.
