In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Oops! He Did It Again :: SteynOnline:
“… At Butler, Mr Curran and his colleagues shrunk the perimeter so that it excluded an easily accessible roof with a clear line to Trump’s head. At the Washington Hilton, Mr Curran and his colleagues shrunk the perimeter to the event room and its immediate approach. In the usual tedious “manifesto”, the would-be killer nevertheless noted that the security was so “insanely” bad, they must be “pranking” him:
So, once he’d run through the security line, he was able to get into the same men’s room that the entire cabinet had to use. Had RFK or Pete Hegseth felt the urge before settling in for a night of long speeches, the headlines this weekend would have been very different. Half the presidential line of succession was in there. That’s what the geopolitical types call, if you remember, a “decapitation strategy”. Except you don’t need a bunker buster, just some California doofus willing to take a run at the checkpoint – and bingo, whoever the Secretary of the Interior is winds up like some z-list ayatollah.
As a taxpayer, I’m revolted by the money-no-object crapness. Yet, instead of heads rolling, Sean Curran is congratulating himself on what a brilliant job he did.
Perhaps it is because I am thousands of miles away in Ukraine, which is a very corrupt country but straightforwardly so. Yet I find it deeply weird that the majority of American conservatives are apparently willing to live with a federal protection service large numbers of whom are trying to get the President killed. The White House ballroom, to which Saturday-night right-side influencers pivoted in an instant with the grace and poise of a synchronised-swimming team, is not the issue. Au contraire, it should be possible on this absurd a protection budget for the chief of state occasionally to venture out and espy long-distance glimpses of what life is like for his fellow citizens.
The issue is the corruption undermining the government from within. The United States Secret Service is a national disgrace, and I renew my 2024 call for it to be abolished and rebuilt from scratch.” …….
Cole hit his knee on the magnetometer or else he would have gone much farther.
Curran says it was a perfect set-up and he wouldn’t change a thing.
I would. Starting with Curran.

“What the Tea Party Movement represents is an end to the dialectical process. That is why it is being opposed by RINO Republicans. Thus, true American conservatives are not just involved in a life and death struggle with Obama socialists, but also the dialectical Republicans who are dedicated to advancing America toward the New World Order.”

Dims ignore judiciary In Virginia.
Virginia Guv Spanberger signed into law a bill re establishing mandatory background checks for personal firearm transfers. A judge declared a permanent stay on doing the same last year. (One issue was the law discriminated against 18 to 21 yo )
Still the stay is still valid and the guv made it emergency law now and ordered the state police to enforce it.
So yes dims ignore judiciary when they wish and use it for lawfare otherwise.
