"It's a big f'n deal".

I Googled it and found some that said the Speaker got SS protection and some that said the Speaker did not. It seems that it is not automatic but it has to be requested.

Did they start a thread in the Shoutbox about it? I know, they're not set up to do threads. So anyways, what do hissy fits, training wheels, kiddie tables and diapers have in common?

No, no, not quite right. It is something that ends in an "us" though. Hmmmn. I got it! Pus.

It's a chameleon and turned into a bull.

Sorry, no whiskey for you. They don't make the airplane sized bottles in rot gut.

Our political/journalistic class shows us what kind of people it is made up of every single day. Meanwhile, I hope the voters of Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio remember who hates their kids on sight, and vote accordingly. . The hate was multiplied by 10 just because of the hat that he wore. Without the hats I doubt this would have been even picked up by the media. It certainly wouldn't be seen as the brouhaha they made it out to be.

10 hours ago, reddogblitz said: If a person served in the military it does not make their opinions any more important. However if a person IS a Viet Nam veteran who actually served IN Viet Nam, That's a little bit different. That was as some F%$ked up Sh!t our country put them through. They DESERVE our respect IMHO. You're beating the wrong drum. While our veterans, and especially war zone veterans, deserve our respect for their time "in country" they do not get a pass for acting like a petulant child to further an agenda that they can't even convey.

I believe that the Speaker of the House now receives Secret Service protection. So that number of 93 might have been mostly military but some SS.

I presume you are comparing them to yourself?

Multiple planes with some of the people staying in Brussels. Who the hell would want to go to Afghanistan on vacation?

Gleeful Gator, you ignorant slut. You got someone to say they like you, probably for the first time in your life and you give them a hard time? Tsk, tsk.

Just be thankful for the 5th Amendment.

Phillips doesn't deserve respect just because he was in the service. I know a lot of people that I was in the service with that didn't deserve any either. Phillips started out to have a confrontation with the kids. They in turn used the ultimate in self control to resist any confrontation. Phillips not only wanted a confrontation but lied about it afterwards. The video proves that.

Every notable person including some that are not have their obituary written prior to their death, and I would assume that graphics for tv or internet are created in advance so that they can immediately put it on the screen when that person dies. That's not the news here. Posting it is the news.

I heard somewhere that Phillips claimed he was trying to get between the kids and Black Israelites in order to diffuse the situation. He speak with forked tongue.

Do what's right for you.

We all know you won't pick a side but that still leaves you the front or the rear as a choice.

Once again, for the simpletons here: The wall is not intended to prevent someone from ever getting across, under or over it. It is not a prison wall. It is intended to slow down or impair those that want to come into our country long enough for border agents to prevent them from doing so. Idiots who keep finding reasons that the wall won't work are just blowing smoke out of their reptilian ass.

I do question them deciding to go to lovely Afghanistan's beaches for their holiday.

I had heard this on the day of planned departure but didn't see it anywhere else. The 86 family members is mindboggling.

I object! It's still debatable.

Today, at least in the Northeast is not a good day to count degrees.

Et tu Foxx?
