Sean 2,210 #41 Posted January 19 Jeff Flake torches Trump and his Republican enablers in the WaPo. Took him long enough. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/19/america-six-months-now/ Excerpt - History will show that in the dark days of President Trump, we experienced a very close call for the survival of our American project. And this near miss stems from Republican indulgence of the whims of one man — one catastrophically self-interested man who seemed to have not even a passing familiarity with the Constitution, the institutions of American liberty, or the basic notions of service and sacrifice. But one man alone cannot put us on the brink the way he did without our permission. And so this failure is on us, and we owe it to the generations of Americans we will never know to understand how this happened so that it might never happen again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only for six months, then the spawn are on their own. Supposedly. Quote The arrangement will come at no cost to the Trump family and is funded by taxpayers, the Post reports. The Secret Service will protect Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, along with their three children; Donald Trump Jr. and his five children; Eric Trump and wife Lara; and Tiffany Trump. The grandchildren will not each receive a 24-hour detail, like Trump’s adult children, but will be protected as long as they are with their parents. Former President Trump and former first lady Melania Trump will receive lifetime Secret Service protection as guaranteed in the Former Presidents Act, which will also give Barron coverage until he reaches age 16. Congress voted in 1994 to limit Secret Service protection to 10 years after leaving office, but in the wake of the September 11 terror attacks President Obama reinstated the lifetime detail in 2012. While the cost of Secret Service protection isn’t made public, it is believed to be as high as tens of millions of dollars annually for each president. Trump isn’t the first president to seek Secret Service coverage after leaving office, but the number of family members involved in the costly detail is substantially more than past presidents. The Post reports that Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush pursued continued security for their daughters, and President Obama’s daughters Sasha and Malia received Secret Service protection after he left office in 2017. https://www.abc27.com/news/us-world/national/trump-extends-secret-service-protection-to-14-family-members-reports-say/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
