Exactly.

"Crooked to the bitter freaking end....SMH"

His auto-pen was crooked to the bitter end.

[Texas Eagle]

Protect her from whom? Grammar Nazis?

[fruser1]

How many republicans get this benefit.

Sounds like she’s been bestowed with a title of nobility.

“The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.”

She isn't a public official. She holds no office.
Granting her protection via State coffers would, in and of itself, be an erratic, vindictive political impulse at taxpayer expense.

“A Secret Service official told NBC that while that’s true, then-President Joe Biden signed an executive memorandum in January extending Harris’ protection to 18 months.”

I doubt Biden signed anything and I’ll bet anything his auto signers signed is null

[Texas Eagle]

Protect her from what? Vodka shots?

[Texas Eagle]

Protect her from what? Irish Car Bombs?

Irish Car Bomb = About a third of a glass of Guiness with shooter of half Jameson and half Bailey's Irish Creme.

No need to be snarky.

No need to be snarky, but I did the FR don’t bother reading the article thing. 😄

[Tommy Revolts]

Good, keep her put in LA. Not my tax dollars.

[TTFlyer]

10 Fo-ah!

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Why would Harris be unsafe living in Los Angeles? Is the city that dangerous? Perhaps the Mayor and Governor could come up with a plan to make all citizens in the city safe. Isn’t that the most important part of their jobs?

[Wuli]

The California Highway patrol cannot operate outside California, so will Harris keep her public appearances to only in California?

[alternatives?]

“How many other private citizens are extended CHP security details?”

I suspect a larger number could be obtained if you asked, “How many illegal aliens are extended CHP security details?”.

[stanne]

“No need to be snarky, but I did the FR don’t bother reading the article thing. 😄

Ugh. I am so busted. Me too.

And I was snarky. Apologies

Well. She shouldn’t be taking up secret service resources and taxpayer money just because someone autopenned a pretend order.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

My favorite is big fat Fani Willis in Georgia getting a security detail because she claims she got death threats.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Harris is getting ready to start her book tour. I think it’s 17 cities.

[stanne]

Oh. That’s a good one.

[fella]

Those poor, poor CHPs.
