"How long do former presidents receive Secret Service protection after they leave office?

In 1965, Congress authorized the Secret Service (Public Law 89-186) to protect a former president and his / her spouse during their lifetime, unless they decline protection. ".

Great piece on the latest dangers posed to US hegemony by the likely expansion of BRICS, as a result of USA foriegn policy bullying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnCudOKNzm0

BRIC was termed made by some Goldman Sachs banker artificially linking large third world economies. It was named in 2001, and I first heard of it in 2004.

When I was in Brazil in 2004, it was 2. 5 reals to the dollar. Now it is 5 to the dollar.

The Russian Ruble has gone from 20 rubles to the dollar to 80 in the last 20 years.

The Indian Rupee has gone from around 45 rupees to the dollar to now 80 in the last 20 years.

The star of the show is the Chinese yuan. It has gone from 8 yuan to the dollar to about 7 now. As to why the yuan will never be the world's reserve currency, there is this, https://foreignpolicynews.org/2022/0...erve-currency/.

Geopolitician Peter Zeihan compares and contrasts the idea of money between the United States and China. In the United States, money is regarded as an economic good. In China, money is regarded as a political good. In the United States, money has value in and of itself. In China, money is a political good, and only has value if it can be used to achieve a political goal. The concepts of rate of return or profit margins do not exist in China, and therein lies the danger; eventually the law of supply and demand will win out, and the Chinese economy will have to face a correction. The longer it takes to face this economic correction, the greater damage that the inevitable correction will cause to the Chinese economy.

While the United States has an open economy, and money can be moved into and out of the United States at will, The Chinese government imposes capital control over moving money out of China.

By restricting the flow of capital in and out of China, investors risk losing all of their wealth should a political crisis develop that leads to an economic crisis or spiral into armed conflict.

In addition, the Chinese banking system is a complete disaster. If real estate in China were marked to market, they would all be insolvent.

If there were a currency that could compete with the dollar, it would not be a BRIC currency but the Euro. The Euro has the German influence all over it and the Germans are determined to have a hard currency but even with that, the banking sector in Europe is in horrible shape and that threatens the value of the Euro. Believe it or not, the banks in the USA are on much more solid ground than those in China and Europe.

And TK, you were in Venezuela. That is a nation that talked constant shit about the USA, was determined to get off the dollar. They inflated the crap out of the Bolivar to the point no one wanted it, then they tried floating a cryptocurrency no one wanted, and now they have given up and gone back to taking the dollar.

I have been listening to the dollar's demise going on for decades now, and anyone dumb enough to have invested in that idea has gotten killed. The dollar will be the world's reserve currency for the next 100 years.

Huge Win!! Huge Progressive Wisconsin's Supreme Court Win!!

Liberal Judge (Janet Protasiewicz) wins Wisconsins Supreme Court election, and looks to save and restore women's pregnancy rights and equal voter rights, in a swing state that traditionally votes 50/50, but under the heavy handed and heavily gerrymandering of congressional maps by State Repubs, in recent times over the last several years, has been skewed more red than purple.

Wisconsinites reject Republican partisan extremism and affirm restore women's rights, voting rights, the will of the people, democracy and the democratic process.

Liberals will win control of Wisconsin Supreme Court

One less swing state, Donnie "the Devil" J. Dummkopf, can't make another infamous "11th Hour" call, and ask for 11,700 votes....kkkk!

Yes, we can file this in a years' long series of historic wins for the Dems under the "Dems Keep Losing" heading promoted by outright Repubs and stealth Bothsider / Neithersider Repubs.

You'll find it next to the "Repub Stewardship Producing Every Great Recession And Massive Jobs Destruction of the Past 100 Years and None of the Historic Expansions and Jobs Creation is Merely a Wild, Inexplicable Coincidence" file and right there after the "No USA-involved Wars Were Started Under Repubs, only Dems, Oh Except For The Civil War, the Vietnam War, The War in Kuwait, The War in Afghanistan, The War in Iraq, etc" file.

By law (thanks to O'bama), all former Presidents for the rest of their lives are provided with round-the-clock Secret Service protection. Let's see what our Democrats come up with to get around this one.

I am not sure what would be funnier: Trump winning and being in jail or seeing Trump in jail with a secret service contingent around him.

The Democratic douches do not get that with the 2020 election, the courts were saying to the pols, "We are not getting involved in elections. That is your shit, and we are not doing it."

The judge in this case is some Democratic douche who will let this case move on, and she will be showered with presents while Republicans call her every name in the book. But it will go to an Appeals Court or the NY Supreme Court and be tossed by them and for the same reason all the judges tossed Trump's 2020 cases, the judiciary wants and needs to stay the hell out of presidential and preferably all politics.

Even in 2000 when the US Supreme Court behaved as rationally as they could, they caught huge flak. The NY Times went down to Florida and counted the votes and even they came up with a Bush victory, but the Democratic douches, who fight any election they lose, were saying Bush did not win; Scotus gave him the victory.

To me, it is not even Democrat or Republican any more, it is pro or antiwar party presidents. Bernie Sanders is anti-war party and you can be damned sure he will never get a nomination. That is what this is really all about. A trump victory means no more trillion dollar blowjobs to the defense industry.

A Florida man was charged with 34 felony cournts in connection with falsifying business records.

The prosecution bears the burden of proving that the defendant is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.

A jury of the defendent's peers will deliberate and yield a verdict once the all evidence is presented in court.

If the verdict is not guilty, the defendent is free to leave.

If the verdict is guilty, the defendent will go to the next phase, which is the sentencing.

Yawn. Another Democratic douche saying this is about the law and not political. Ha ha!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...EN-ISLAND.html

Dershowitz said that Trump's hush money case, filed by the Manhattan the, was impossibly prejudiced owing to Manhattan being a Democrat stronghold.

Dershowitz said the trial should be held instead in Staten Island. The only one of New York City's five boroughs to regularly vote Republican.

And you know what the chances are this case is moved to Staten Island CM, slim and none, and slim just left town.

Oh yeah, this is all about the law. Did your nose grow as you typed that?

Oh, thank goodness for that! I was kinda worried that chopping off the healthy genitals of confused 15 year old children might not be totally above board, but after reading that statement I can now join the leftist dem douches and support mass child mutilation.

Why stop at 13? I vaguely remember when I was 6 or 7 years old at my friend's house, we took some of his mom's heels out of her closet and walked round in them for shits and giggles. Clearly both of us should have had our penises sliced off there and then.

And stop twisting other people's word into a strawman argument so that you can knock it down.

That's just dishonesty and devalues yourself.

[Golfinho]

Well, you have to admit that would have saved you a lot of money in hooker fees.

You know what the real basis of this whole trans crap is though? It is a deflection on freedom. The Democratic douche powers that be want this issue so they can claim they are pro-freedom while destroying the first and fourth amendment. We no longer have freedom of speech but we do let people chop off their dicks and tits.

And this hooker payoff is at its core a charge of rigging an election. Hell, we just got through an election rigging with Hunter Biden's laptop. The whole Russian disinformation thing was the FBI rigging the election. You even have Democratic douches here saying "Eh, it is nothing. " when it showed a path that Joe Biden was getting paid off by the Chinese. If you are a Democratic douche, you think the laptop is insignificant. Hell, it is a hoax.

What I said after the 2016 election and this Russiagate bullshit to a dumb Dem is this: show me one person who voted for Trump because of Putin. Do you have even one?

Now show me one person who would have changed their vote if Trump's lawyer paid off a porn star on Trump's instructions or if he did it alone. "You know if Trump paid off that porn star, I am voting for the morally pure Hiliary, but if his lawyer did it, Trump has my vote. ".

On the flip side, Hunter Biden would have changed the election. In the laptop, he is fucking underage women, snorting cocaine, doing deals with China, and bitches to a family member, "How would you like it if you had to give half of what you earned to your father?" Show all that stuff and then the diary of Biden's daughter saying she was showering with her dad when young and that it was "probably inappropriate". Shit, the Addams family was less dysfunctional than this one. But to a Democratic douche, none of that matters. All that matters to the Democratic douches living overseas are the pension and SS checks still come rolling in.

Adults can lop off whatever parts of their bodies they wish to fulfil their weird fetishes. However, children's brains are not developed enough to make such life-altering decisions, which is why it is criminal that healthy breasts and penises are being sliced off children as young as 13. When the country sorts itself out, possibly post-boogaloo, there will be many criminal prosecutions of the perpetrators of these child mutilations.

You do realize that NO where in the US can children (under 18) can choose to get into any contract without parental consents. One can disagree with how the children are diagnosed, but doctors do not perform any surgery without consents. So if you like to send those parents to jail for this, ask your representative to write a law. If you want to punish the doctor for diagnosis, then again, ask your representative to write a law for that.

"What is a woman?" "Someone who says they are a woman". That is a circular argument. They have not defined the word "woman".
The diving story you blathered on about was just too stupid to bother with.

Let me give you abnother example you might be able to get onboard with -.

J. Hey Chris, how are you? What political party do you support?
C- I am a Republican.
J- Really? You don't look like one. You got a blue jumper on, you finished school, you had a shave. To me you look like a Dem. I understand that you say you don' care about immigrants, you don't beleive in high taxes to protect the poor and disadvantaged, but I don't beleive you. I think you are delluded by some mental dysfunction in your brain. Its obvious to me that really your are a Dem.
C- But J, I am a Rep! I am truly disgusted by gays and coloured folks and anyone else that is not just like me. I am a true Rep!
J. Sorry see, I am not going to accept what you say or what you think. I don't think it is good evidence. Insted I am going to run off what I see and interpret about you. Your a Dem!
C - Please J, just accept me for what I am. I really am self-serving and uncaring.

You can see the stand-off here? You can see how it would be best just to allow self-certification?

You've rather amusingly just defeated your own argument. The fact that "accredited psychiatrists" once classified homosexuals and religious non-believers as insane shows that their profession is manipulated by the political controllers of society, like most things.

Yes, you got me there actually. BUt I am rather hopeful that the psychiactric discipline has improved its techniques since it burned witches at the stake. I am rather hopeful that objective tests exist that would demonstarted that gays, witches, theists and trans would all lie on the same 'pass' side of such a sanity examination. Assuming they are not insane as well as being one of those.

[JustTK]

Leftists can deny any reality. They can deny that it is evil to slice off a 13 year old child's healthy genitals.

These are not leftists. These are lame lib Dem supporters. Nothing to do with the left, they are a stain on our reputation.

Chris, are you also against circumcision? Against tattoes, piercings? How about permanenet scarrinng caused by religious and political indoctrination?
