Wow, coming out against their own. Imagine threatening a candidate of your own party.

The world is nuts, as my late mother used to say.

She should probably get SS protection but it should be made clear to all it’s not “the Democrats” that necessitated it. MAGA is threatening her. Let that be known. We’re not at Day One yet but the dictatorial practices are already in play. Threatening your political opposition.

Who makes the decision to give Haley SS protection? If it’s Biden then he should do it just to piss off the former guy.

Wonder how all these manly men who folded like a cheap suit feel about this little woman taking on the coward of our Country?
Come on guys, get your Putin on and show Trump what you got.

That’s a bit of a Trumpian motive. He should do it to provide for her safety.

The first rule of cults is that those who are only cult-lite must be killed. Of course there will always be those suspected of not being completely on board, and they will be killed too. See Stalin, Josef.

Agreed. She should have the proper security.

Well in today’s parlance we should insert f*cking before nuts.

I’ve got to take issue here. Haley is putting up an option that’s not a f*cking racist, misogynist, a-hole. And even I would be angry if some dulu guy, tried go after Tiffany or Barron, the other kids are fair game since they’ve vocally have inserted themselves into the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.

It would not matter if she was pink and had polka dots, she’s challenging the Orange God of the Trump Party.

Putin’s investment in TMFWWNBN and Congress is paying off. Russia making gains due to US failure to ship more ammunition

(also the EU pratting about, too, but mostly the GQP giving Putin what he wants. Dark Brandon needs to hang this on Dolt 45)

According to Trump, the president can do this with impunity.

If she gets SS protection, it will enrage him. Sad.

She might not be, but her policies are completely indistinguishable from Dolt 45, which are f*cking racist, misogynist, a-hole.
“Vote for me, I’m not saying the quiet parts out loud” is not exactly progress.

Mother of two kids. Yeah they’re grown up, but it’s got to give anyone in her position some real misgivings about going on. That’s exactly what those phoney patriots want. To drive her from the contest one way – or another.

It is really sad we have gotten to this point. We have fallen so far in defining decency downward that Mafia Don tactics from The Godfather are fair game to half the Electorate and POTUS candidates are asking for SS protection in February. What is next - hiring assassins for Campaign Aids ?

We are rapidly moving from Banana Republic to a 21st Century Third Reich.

I do think they’re distinguishable from Dolt 45’s policies. I think I can see three inches a space between their positions.
