      The most surveilled area in all of America during that moment. No way anyone gets through all that security.

        The recent failures of the Secret Service honestly suggest otherwise. We’re not sending our best.

        Nepotism and buying your way in has infected every level of our government for far longer than people want to believe. We long ago lost real competent people in charge.

        We’ve had generations of people able to essentially pay for credentials through things like legacy admissions and a pet industry where students at prestigious universities pay poor students at regular-ass universities to do original research for them so their plagiarism cannot be caught since it’s an original paper.

        Are we really so shocked that the people running the show don’t actually know what the fuck they’re doing anymore?

          Even on autopilot, how to navigate without the GPS/GLONASS? Jammers are real thing.

            Whats with Inertial Navigation Systems? No need for outside signals. Afaik they tend to drift after a while, but a quick search says a high-end INS is still accurate to the meter at a distance of 50km (~30 miles). That sufficient to hit a group of meaty target.

            If you have line of sight you could communicate with a laser, hard to jam light. Probably require a bit of modification though.

          I wish. I’d guess that they can. A simple sonic crowd control weapon, a fire hose, and tear gas would do it. And after that they have automatic machine guns. The secret service hesitated to use those on the insurrectionists, but I imagine for “the left” the gloves would be off.

    This is legit like lords travelling to the coronation of the king they heaved on the throne, to kiss his ring and remind him whom he depends on.

      They’ll be taking Eric and trumpjr’s in their mouths as well. That’ll be some good tv. Someone should suggest that trump wear some sort of ermine cape and a crown and sceptre. Itd at least be more honest than whatever ceremony they have planned.

    They are lining up to get on their knees.

    This is when you know acquiring that much wealth and power is a sickness. These assholes could stop “working” today and be just fine. But they need MORE.

    Billionaires should not even be a thing. If we truly Make America Great Again, like it’s the 1950s, let’s just bring back the 92% tax rate on these motherfuckers…

      yep, Let them go on record. They are designated fluffers for the new fascist clown. I will enjoy watching them needlessly abase themselves before their master, which is a great visual for the rest of the US to see. Oligarchs receiving their power through the head crime boss. They will be tied to him after this, and if we ever get to an accounting for the oligarchys crimes, they wont be able to wash their hands of anything.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
