The big question I have is whether the Secret Service protection extends to Federal Prison. Like do his SS guards have to also stay in the cells with him while on duty, or how does that work…

I love the image, but unfortunately the Former Presidents Act will give him lifetime Secret Service protection, along with a pension, office, staff, and diplomatic immunity. So those unlucky agents will still be stuck with him.
Only way he doesn’t get that, is if he’s removed from office by impeachment followed by conviction in the Senate. Which ain’t likely. Or, if he’s convicted of a crime after leaving office, and Congress amends the act to remove the Presidential golden parachute for convicted criminals.
I’m unclear on whether he gets the S.S. protection if he resigns before the end of the term. Anyone know? The wording of the act says “removed from office,” which isn’t quite what a resignation is.

Yeah, I’ve been assuming house arrest instead of a Federal or State prison. And not in one of his fancy houses. A trailer somewhere out in the sticks, surrounded by barbed wire and barking dogs would be okay with me.

I doubt removal under any circumstances would result in him losing SS protection, no matter what any Act says. No President is going to want to be in charge when some nutcase takes out a predecessor, no matter the circumstances under which they left office.

i have no idea why that neighbour did not call the woman before he called the police…if he was that ‘close’ to her, he could have just walked over, and peeked in the door…since the door was open[?] did he suspect foul play, what did he say to the dispatcher?
Didn’t say, and yeah that was something I thought about. Still doesn’t lessen his grief.
You’re probably right about him having no government protection at all. But if he no longer qualified for S.S. because he was removed from office, it could be something less expensive. Maybe U.S. Marshals. Or anything else that’s an obviously downgraded status that would twist the knife.

Melania only does what is in the Marriage Contract.
Commenting on her Husband’s behavior is grounds for divorce (and loss of all Money.)
It’s way worse than that,all of you who have had something shouted at you by a stranger and had to have it repeated several times before you understood…raise you hands. When a stranger shouts, nothing is clearly understood; it’s a loud noise with no enunciation or diction clearly defined by the listener.

Probably not far from the truth. The further Orangefuhrer is backed into a corner, the more desperate and dangerous become his distractions.

No dogs need to be involved with this horror of a human being. They’re too good for that.
How about zombie deplorables barking mad & howling for their disgraced, imprisoned, bleeding from his whatever, cult leader while scratching their own eyes out?
A twofer and all that…

FTFY (assuming we can actually count this nutcase as a “President”, and I would understand if you called me out on that assumption…)

Ummmm… We’ve had President Emeritus Obama since January 20, 2017.

Sadly, the neighbor was living in another reality. He did what I might have done 20 years ago. I’m sure it seemed like a good perfectly fine idea at the time. It wasn’t.
CV The thing to do with this video is to make fun of it. Swap out the Donnie figure with Uncle Sam with a firehose labeled The Constitution and the water labeled truth. Turn the congregation into right wing figures which dissolve like the Wicked Witch of the North when the water hits them or into an appropriate symbols of ther nature. Donnie turns into horseshit, Guiliani turns into a decayed horse head, Conway into a snake, Barr into an alligator, Goetz and Gowdy into bats, Limbaugh into pig shit, Firtash, Fruman, Parnas into lice and Putin into a spider.
I don’t have the skills but it would be worth while.

I would prefer Angola. Too bad it’s a state prison.

I thought their job was to verify the area was free of interlopers and then monitor entrances and exits. Solitary confinement seems to fit that bill of particulars just fine. They would probably need to escort him during yard time, but if he’s alone in his cell isn’t he safe? They don’t need to be an arms length away at all times. Under normal circumstances, the secret service doesn’t actually accompany the president into the restroom, do they?

Well, considering what happened to Epstein, maybe they’d need to stay in the cell with him, just to be sure.
