House eyes Friday vote on bill seeking to give Trump increased Secret Service protection

The House is poised to vote on a bill this week that would give presidential candidates the same protections from the Secret Service that are offered to sitting presidents.

The proposal was initially proposed in mid-June, shortly after the first assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, which would have given him enhanced protections that President Joe Biden, then the Democratic candidate, has as the incumbent. But after the second assassination attempt against the former president over the weekend, House Republicans are looking to fast-track a bill that would offer Trump more protections as soon as possible.

“This is not a partisan issue,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told reporters on Tuesday. “We have a nominee for president that’s probably the most threatened political figure in history.”

The bill will be brought to the floor for a vote on Friday, according to Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), and would also apply those protections to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now the Democratic nominee.

Silly man.  With Democrats, EVERYTHING is partisan.  Pass the bill today.  Send it to the Senate.  And watch what happens.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I have no problem with that. It will further expose the rift in America and in our Government and hopefully wake everyone who cares up to the totalitarian banana republic nature of the current regime.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
