You are not alone. I was reading up on the former presidents act or something or other he is entitled to protection and a staff, oh and office supplies so i would assume they would accompany him to the pen. Lol

I sure don't know if he'll have SS protection - (WOW, imagine drawing THAT stint as an SS officer, OMG!)

But you know, the ways things are, this friggin madman could wind up leading a gang of like three percenter/aryan nation cretins, couldn't he?!

Well, I'll just settle for PRISON and never having to behold his countenance or hear his fucking voice ever, ever again. EVER!!

(sorry for rant, my friend , this guy is just wearing me out, yeow)

he would be perfectly safe and we wouldn't need to spend money on SS...he would be fully protected 24 hours a day for the rest of his life.
