Slow news day?

The US First Family is entitled to SS protection, and in today's sick world with terrorist abductions and ransom and whatnot, I don't begrudge the kids the safety. It's not their fault their Dad is President. (It's ours, but that's a different topic...)

We do not live in North Korea. If the press reports the kids are holiday, that is called freedom of the press. You are naïve to believe this is a safety issue.

"The US First Family is entitled to SS protection"

Not really (Unless you follow the Wilsonian belief of the Presidency in regards to SS not Active Duty specialist), but that is a different topic.

If one dime of public resources were used in this time of sequestration then these trips would be considered "waste and abuse" under, fraud, waste, and abuse.

Military readiness is suffering but we use public resources to jet-set the family of a guy who won a popularity contest? Outstanding priorities we have/promote in a country that is $16 tril. in debt.

The SS protection is not the point. The point is that while the rest of the nation struggles, they continue their extravagant vacations and lifestyle of the rich and famous with the kids taking two vacations in two weeks. It’s not just the SS, it’s the additional entourage that goes with them, friends, handlers etc and all at our expense.

Those two fascists made public figures of their kids, using them whenever it suits their political purposes and they flaunt their “privilege” while everyone else cuts back. They have repeatedly put their kids up front politically and that makes them public figures. Too bad, so sad and I don’t give a rat’s ass about their spawn. They will grow up to be the same type of fascist democrats that their parents are; just like the clinton kid. Keep the privileged brats at home like the rest of us have to.

FUBO, FAD, down with the democrat party

But one would think secret service duties do not include babysitting. There is no mention of either parent being on either of these trips, and the kids are too young to b vacationing on their own
