    Every headline about actions he takes could be replaced with “Petty Little Bitch Makes Petty Little Bitch Move” and be no less accurate.

      Yeah I was thinking “so much fucking drama each and every day with this piece of shit.”

      Seriously I want to stay informed but there’s like, an emotional cost to keep up with US news. I almost feel like my IQ drops some days.

    Tbh I’m surprised he let it go to august.

    Apparently VPs only get “up to” 6 months of Secret Service protection after they leave office, with the potential for extensions.

    Still shitty though.

      He probably didn’t realize she had a special extension until now.

        I mean just compare Kamala’s VPresidency to Vance’s.

        Tbh I can’t name one thing she did do, but I do know she wasn’t in the news for constantly going on vacations around the world, fucking couches, and generally being a shitty person.

        They dont really have the authority to do anything right? Their one job is to be a backup president. It’s like saying an actor’s second didn’t have any lines in the play (because the actor was there to say them all)

          Well, two jobs. Their other job is to cast a tie breaking vote in the Senate.

            Three jobs actually. Some administrations will have the VP spread oil or vasaline on satan’s asshole. A vital role if the POTUS’s penis is particularly small.

      Trump had ended Secret Service protection for John Bolton in his first term after he fell out with him. In Bolton’s case, that’s quite significant, due to Iran.

      https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78d7x08j7eo

      The US is offering a $20m (£15m) reward for information leading to the arrest of an Iranian man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

      Shahram Poursafi, a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), is accused of trying to hire criminals in the US to kill Mr Bolton, a vocal Iran critic, in exchange for $300,000.

      Biden had reinstated Bolton’s Secret Service protection when Biden was in office. As soon as Trump got back in, he cut it off again.

      I’m not sure there’s ever been an 12 month extension before (6 standard + 12 extension).

    With any luck Trump won’t be needing it for much longer either.
