I was most curious about the actual budget of the Secret Service. I know the DHS budget for 2023 was 3.0 billion, however.

Tonight, the Washington Post is reporting that early in his presidency, the Secret Service went to Trump to express concerns about their ability to protect him if he continued to golf at his own courses because of their proximity to public roads. The concern: “If photographers with long-range lenses could get the president in their sights while he golfed, so too could potential gunmen.” According to the Post, Trump responded that his golf courses were safe, and he wanted to keep playing golf on them.

Former presidents have smaller protection details after they leave the White House, which means less surveillance of an extended perimeter. The New York Times is reporting tonight that the detail did not search the entire perimeter of the course before Trump played, and President Biden called for Congress to increase the resources allocated to the Secret Service. But the headline here should be that the Secret Service did its job—the gunman didn’t get closer than 500 feet, about a football field and a half, to Trump. Trump wasn’t harmed; the would-be gunman didn’t get a shot off. That was so despite the fact that Trump’s outing had not been previously planned, which forced Secret Service agents “to work on the fly”—something they are loathe to do for precisely the reasons that materialized on Sunday.

It's amazing how so many conservatives talk far more about Trump's negatives than Harris's. It's bizarre.

Trump is far better than Harris.>

Those positions are not what I can support?

1.) Giving the Harris campaign sample questions, similar to the actual questions that would be used for the debate. 2.) Agreeing to give Harris a smaller podium and other arrangements to minimize the size differential between Harris and Trump. 3.) Fact Checking would be done for Donald Trump and NOT Kamala Harris 4.) Harris campaign gave questions to ABC that were not to be included in the debate. Including questions regarding her time as DA in SF and her time as California Attorney General.

Out of all these accusations, the fact checking of Trump has been admitted to. The podium and split screen appearance to keep the height differential have already been proven, ABC did NOT deny communications with the Harris campaign without the Trump campaign being present and they will never deny that because they cannot. According to the whistleblower, ABC executives made numerous phone calls with the Harris campaign without including the Trump campaign on the call. Everything the whistleblower has submitted has been proven except for sample questions. There will be another tweet later today announcing action to be taken against ABC and the affiliates of ABC.>

I couldn't say that he's wrong in what he says in this video. Political discourse is definitely toxic as hell.

Health officials reported chaotic scenes at hospitals across the country as ambulances poured in, including in the capital, Beirut. Lebanon’s state-run news agency said that “a number of injuries” were reported in towns in southern Lebanon, near the border with Israel; in northern Lebanon; and the coastal city of Tyre. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said “large numbers” of people were arriving at hospitals, related to the explosions of the devices.> https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...

Yes. It's appalling the people saying that Trump>

I wonder what the rest of the world is thinking when they see a USA president make a complete ass of himself on national television.>

Hahahahaha!

Vote for Kamala Harris to Support Lies, Fascism, Failure, and Taxpayer Dollar waste.

Nobody under the age of 70 was reported injured.>

I saw video of young men in the market shopping for fruit, and the pager expoded in his pant's pocket. Videos are surfacing.

So they're not like blacks in Chicago?

<it is never legal to kill a newborn baby.>

Gotta do better, sport.
