I don't think any of the other President Elects' would have needed the type of security that the Trumpster needs, except for maybe W after the electoral college win over Gore. The big threat to Trump comes from our "compassionate Left". :lol:, not from a standard security breach.
Thanks, Mitch. After the assassination attempt on Reagan everything was tightened up. There have been several threats against Trump already.
All this pissing and moaning about Trump's security messing up NYC. Every time Hussein came out to CA to raise yet more money he destroyed LA rush hour traffic with his entourage.

Some of us might also remember when west coast air traffic was shut down while Bill Clinton got a haircut in his plane on the ramp.

Its no wonder these guys including Currrent Prez elect are out of touch with general reality.

Trump has a house in NJ. He should go stay there. If I rented and had no business because of him I backcharge him for loss of income, after all he willingly admits stiffing his contractors regularly and in just a few days time it's rather obvious he is set to stiff those who voted him in. Sure hope they speak up!!!!!

In Nebraska stiffing a contractor can end up with a broken knee.

People in nyc. hate a presidential visit. even if they voted for the guy. I could park my truck in the middle of a road and deliver furniture. this would not bother anybody. folks would drive around me. Their ok. with that everybody gets a delivery at some time. Same thing with the trash truck. Block a street for a few minutes it's ok. The trash has to go. But a president. forget it. Tell him to visit somewhere else. security will block whole routes minutes before he comes. It can be a real nightmare when the U.N. has a special event.(if i were the prez. the u.n. would be kicked out)

You've not had a bad day until there's a motorcade for someone in your way while you are in the DC area. The Beltway base state is 1/2 a rung away from total disaster at all times - shut it down for a motorcade at rush hour from DC to Dulles airport and you have serious suffering while untangling the mess for the rest of the day.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues, and a dark sense of humor.

PART 2 ILLEGALS, HARD WORKERS AND GOOD FAMILY MEN.
i'll raise my hand here . i'm part of the cause and problem. 1993 i had just received my first moving job. I had a truck but no help :x I needed somebody to work for $75 a day. None of my so called friends wanted any part of helping me. In fact nobody wanted to work for $8.00 an hour cash. The morning of the move. i stopped at a home depot to buy boxes and bubble wrap. I had figured on doing this job magically by myself. when out of the parking lot comes a 60 year old guy. He says in broken English "i can work. If you need help" He had watched me pull into the parking lot with a truck. before i said a word he say "$75 dollars a day and lunch and i drop him off in Trenton nj when we are done" His name was Hector. he came from Puerto rico. not illegal. I crushed him. Worked his arse to hard. At the end of the day he thanked me and said come to his house tomorrow morning and he'll have somebody else there to work with me.
enter Guerillmo. Hector told his neighbor " he had a job for him." Guerillmo was waiting for me in Trenton @ 7am. That day i changed his name to memo. It has stuck for 25 years. easier for me to pronounce at the time. Memo had been in the usa for 8 years. He was 25 when we met. He did a fine job. Then came Prospero his brother-in-law. Next manlo their cousin. followed by Prospero's son and 1 more cousin. all illegal. all came pre 1995. everyone worked 65-70 hours a week. working up to $12-15 an hour. I could not get a teenager or guy in his 20's to work for that. I have been to their weddings,birthdays holiday parties and other events. all good guys. They came from a dirt poor village.
yes they did things wrong. In 1995-99 you could go to a NJ DMV and buy a driver license. Walk in wearing a specific color baseball cap. wait for someone to see your colored cap. give them your application with a few hundred dollars folded into and you get a license. NJ dmv's were private run sites. This all ended nov. of 2001 or thereabouts. Driver's licenses are harder to get in Nj now. All these guys have become legal. some had to go home and wait a year or more for reentry Into the USA. Some became legal through a daisy chain of events. ie. your brother is legal so we can make you legal. that has ended also.
They only wanted a better life. People now want to come here and change our way of life. Harm us or prove one god is better then the other. We need a way of vetting in coming people.currently people can bring anything they want through our boarders. It needs to change. For what it is worth most of the Latin Americans are going back home. It's hard for them to find jobs and housing. People from my wife's country are leaving to also. opportunities are better elsewhere.

Part 3 later. now you got me going. Next vent will be Who's hand is in the cookie jar.

Then you know how important sharing space and resources are, being considerate and polite, even generous. And there is always room for kindness.

We don't need immigrants to do that - we already have and have had plenty of regular nutcase batshite citizens on that job.

We need a way of vetting in coming people.


Good luck on the "vetting". Who's going to do that and how and who is going to pay for it all? No one has any answers to those questions. Everybody wants a long list of stuff to be done, all these great ideas. or they want stuff to be changed but no one wants to remember that none of it comes for free. Just remember, even if it's free, you can always buy it cheaper.

And can you imagine the storefronts and offices that would spring open, dispensing precisely the right and correct ways for vett-ees to respond during qualifying interviews. A whole industry would spring-up dedicated to the shoveling of whole mounds of bogus bs.

But, I should not be skeptical, for look how well we did vetting through all the candidates for the Presidency. Now, there was some careful shitezcoff accomplishments, huh.

Yup, winnowed through our best and brightest, and most qualified to arrive at these candidates....
