He is a billionaire, successful real-estate tycoon, best selling author of a yuuge amount of books, has a -10 handicap in golf despite those pesky bone spurs, is 6’3" tall without lifts, weighs 215 pounds Fahrenheit and if you don’t count Barack Obama on two consecutive occasions and Joe Biden in 2020, more people have cast votes for him in a presidential election. ---

No doubt, Trump’s supporters just think that’s the only way a white man can safely traverse Newark or Atlanta. ---

Callback to the past! “We” would like to reassure some of the newer members (do we have those?) that the above reference is quite appropriate, and nevermind the details. ---

Pre-trial detention could save untold millions. The party of ‘fiscal responsibility’ should insist upon it. ---

Maybe the local cops asked for volunteers (who would be paid, if course) to sign up for the motorcade and bunches did so they’d have stories/bragging rights to tell their grandchildren and fellow bar patrons. ---

We joke, but I bet trump thinks he’s going to be placed in a glass display case in the capitol on a pedestal, with an eternal flame and guards, the best guards, on 24 hr duty. And people will line up, the biggest and best lines, to wail and cry o how he was taken too soon! And there will be a kiosk, taking all forms of payment, where the faithful can put in their money and a message will be broadcast, all hail the might trump. Look on his works and weep! ---

I would simply like to know who makes the decisions about the size and scope of the motorcades. And then I’d like to ask that person why they decided the way they did. ---

An SUV with Trump, two? secret service SUVs, I read an anti terrorist unit SUV, 2 SUVs with reporters. An ambulance. Anyone have a count? Motorcycles to shut down several intersections at once to get this big group through, then drive like hell when it passes a stop to the next intersection.
