The Republican president on social media objected to what he said were 18 agents assigned to Hunter Biden’s protective detail while in South Africa this week. He said Ashley Biden has 13 agents assigned to her detail and that she too “will be taken off the list.”

There was no immediate reaction from the former president’s office.

Former presidents and their spouses receive life-long Secret Service protection under federal law, but the protection afforded to their immediate families over the age of 16 ends when they leave office. But outgoing presidents can extend protection for those who might otherwise not be eligible for up to six months after they leave office, something Biden did for his children and Trump did for his family after leaving office in 2021. Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush also extended protection for their families for a period.

        I don’t understand how so many people don’t realize how serious shit is at the moment.

          This capitalist coup started under Reagan. Trump has been courted by Putin since the 90s.

          If people realized how serious this shit was, Wall Street and the capital markets would have been righteously burned to cinder years ago.

          Instead they laughed at those protesting it, I was there.

          We’re hopeless. We’ll be breathing capitalist climate change made dustbowl fumes, drinking unregulated leaded water, and still showing up to our jobs running up the owners’ ego scores even as said owners retreat to their luxury bunker complexes to bark their orders remotely in an attempt to pretend everything is fine.

          We’re a pathetic people. Not entirely our fault, the capitalists have been sabotaging public Ed to keep us stupid, willfully ignorant, largely hostile towards critical thinking, and cut their taxes for a century, but we are a pathetic people.

          Now the French, There’s a model of how a society needs to act when their greed class gets out of line.

            I think it might be Barron. The media has been starting to glaze him and give him some air time and float his name. Don Jr has been doing tons of really cringe campaigning for El Presidente, but given he hasn’t really been talked about in the media, I don’t think they’re floating him next
