How do the secret service decide who to put to the ground if it had become tense? By rank?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 months ago

They definitely have a color chart, they're cops too.

He's lying. He didn't go on that plane to see her. The weirdo was going to take a look to see if her plane had any couches. He was feeling a little frisky.

He really wanted a seat in the Mile High club

So the party with a history of inciting vigilante violence storms a VPs airplane and isn't shot dead by secret service.

Is there an issue with the secret service actually doing their job, or do they just give Republicans a pass?

as a vp candidate from a major party, vance also gets secret service protection

So... secret service vs secret service shootout? Maybe it happened and it was so secret no-one knows about it!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

My dad knows a guy who got shot. Totally. He works with him over at that place where the cheese is made. I mean beer. They make all the beer together and they’re good friends and I know him too. My dad can beat up your dad.

They probably view Vance less as a threat and more as an awkward and socially oblivious guy

Its amazing to see how fast and far the democratic party managed an absolute loss around into a nearly absolute win. Same for Trump and co conspirators, about a mo th ago they were on for an absolute win and now he's continuously cutting the tree branch he's sitting on...

Just do not be mistaken though. I fully expect Harris to win with a land slide but that matters not. Various states WILL sabotage the election z refuse to respect the democratic votes from the people, and just send Republicans as winners for that state. Trump too will try another coup, and I think it's not unfair to expect that coup to be bigger and more violent than the January 6 coup. Come to think of it, it's insane that trump still hasn't been convicted for that one.

Of course he will try.

One of the differences this time is that he doesn't have the power to delay the deployment of defensive resources.

And nobody is dismissing it as impotent bluster this time.

Vote like your life depends on it. When you've solved that problem, then you get to dealing with Donnie's second go at an attempted coup. One thing at a time.

I know the article says:

J.D. Vance briskly marched up to Air Force 2

But I can't be the only one picturing a Naruto run.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for that imagery! I now believe with my whole heart that JD Vance does the Naruto run everywhere he goes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Reports on the ground indicate Vance repeatedly yelled, "I'm going to be Hokage! Believe it!", while nearby couch enthusiasts cheered.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

this makes him sound vastly more cool and relatable than he is
