/ ...California officials put in place a plan to provide Harris with dignitary protection after Trump ended an arrangement that gave his opponent in last year’s election extended Secret Service security coverage..

Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday ending Harris’ protection as of Monday, according to sources not authorized to discuss the security matter.

Former vice presidents usually get Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office, while ex-presidents get protection for life. But before his term ended, then-President Biden signed an order to extend Harris’ protection beyond six months to July 2026. Aides to Harris had asked Biden for the extension. Without it, her security detail would have ended last month, according to source. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who would need to sign off on such CHP protection, would not confirm the arrangement. “Our office does not comment on security arrangements,” said Izzy Gordon, a spokesperson for Newsom. “The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.”

The decision came after Newsom’s office and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were in discussions Thursday evening on how best to address the situation. Harris resides in the western portion of Los Angeles.

More subterfuge from

Dances On Ashes

and comrades down in East Beijing (formerly known as Sacramento)

to pull CHP off our hiways so they won't catch illegal aliens who can't read English road signs and given CDL's to drive massive ton killing trucks,

or drug smuggling cartel gang bangers

on California hiways.

And to spend Californians tax money on a joke of a woman they didn't vote for.

Spit.

What they do inside their borders is fine by me. When they extend that coverage beyond the state borders their legal authority ends.

Since money is fungible and CA is broke, likely not CA taxpayer money.

If CHP is protecting Harris, not my circus not my monkeys.

The legal requirement has been for six months SS protection, “Biden” extended it a year at the last minute, Trump put it back where it was supposed to be.

Why does she need security in the first place?

She could walk through any supermarket and not be recognized by anyone.

This nincompoop of a woman has 7 months Secret Service protection.

She didn’t need it because she is a know nothing fool and who would bother with her.

She and her husband can afford their own security. Taxpayers have paid for 7 months un needed security. Enough already!

Or use the Joe Biden phrase; “Don’t I know who I am?”

I have read this story on a number of standard liberal “news” sites just so I could read the comments. Just about all comments say she got her legally required six months and now she should pay for it herself. Also, nobody cares who she is or what she does.

It will be interesting to see if CHP travels with her on her coloring book tour. Is that even legal???

So she buys a $5 million house and cannot afford security? What are those other less wealthy Americans to do for security in those high crime rate Democratic cities? No police, no grift, no security…. That’s not the way to be forced to live….

Why does anyone believe that moron needs protection? There were many VP’s that actually faced risks after their terms ended but no one gave a shit when the SS protection was dropped after six months which is normal. Just more grifting on the taxpayer by democrats, and this with The Cackler only because Trump cancelled some auto pen bullshit. How can poor Kamala draw attention to herself to look important without SS security?

Secret Service protection should be provided on a priority, staff availability basis.

President - priority 10
Vice President & major foreign leaders - priority 9
presidential candidates polling more than 5% within four months of a presidential election day- priority 8
leading delegate holders of the two leading political parties - priority 7
other constitutional officer or cabinet officer under credible threat in the eyes of the director - priority 6
former presidents - priority 5
former vice-presidents - priority 4

At priority 6 and below, protected persons might have to cough up per diems and travel expenses for agents needing to be out-of-town.

Trump did not end an arrangement that gave his opponent Secret Service security coverage.

VP’e only get it for 6 months per the rules it can be extended if one wishes to do so.

Notice Dances On Wolves misuse , despite his probable deniability weasel words, of the

CHP

The

California

HIWAY

Patrol.

The CHP’s number 1 priority is to police and enforce law on California

HIWAYS !!!

to use them as a private citizen bodyguard force

is to usurpe their JOB

and frankly,

IS FASCISM.

Mr. Dances On Ashes,
DOA , how ironic, is endangering everyone driving in California hiways. Not just California citizens, but all the other states citizens, that will result in less illegal alien truck drivers taken off California hiways and will result in more DOA’s - Dead On Arrival’s.

Gavin.

Mr. DOA in more ways than one.

Mr. Dances On Ashes
Mr Dead On Arrival.

Putting Californians and all US citizens
at increased risk on California HIWAYS.

.this is certainly malfeasance of office of every California politicians who was behind this .
