    ...that knife wielding maniac jumped the White House fence, and ran right in, and almost got Obama?

    Remember when Obama turned the White House into a fortress after?
    No?
    Me either.

    Trump is a coward.

    Oh come on.....

    This one is ridiculous even for you.

    They raised the fence after that.

    And there is a huge difference between one person and tens of thousands. Can you imagine what would happen if the crowds around the White House all jumped the fence or got onto White House ground some other way?

    Most people think it would be a blood bath. I disagree. I don't think the Secret Service would open fire on the crowd if it got just on the grounds in around the White House. There may be a blood bath if people got inside the White House though.

    Now there were Antifa types in the crowd. If they got on the White House grounds they might have tried to make a scene to cause a blood bath. We've seen black clad people setting fires intentionally in other videos. Not to mention handing out bricks.

    Fortunately I think the protesters actually believe it would be a blood bath if they crossed the fence and that's why there was no serious attempt made to get into the White House. But you still needed the secret service there to show the crowd that yes the White House is guarded.

    Remember when the mobs surrounded Joffrey's carriage and he cried like a baby. But, Margery was like "these are my people! I love them" and got out of the carriage and wasn't afraid?

    Remember when the worst thing our president did was put mustard on a burger? I miss those days.

    The secret service makes the president go into the bunker. It’s regular protocol.

    This is literally true, frequently what you think must be a joke turns out to be entirely true and vica versa. The clue in that one was the "quotes" were simply too coherent to have been real.

    damn - Diacanu can't see the difference between one threat (knife guy) neutralized immediately and an aggressive crowd along a substantially long perimeter? He needs to stay in that basement until he at least learns how to tie his shoes.

    Knife guy was real.
    "Aggressive crowd", was "what if?", based on Trump's cowardice.
    And probably racism.

    Maybe he was referring to the police as the "aggressive crowd"? :?:

    Question, did Raegan use the bunker during the AIDS/HIV protests?

    I honestly don't know here.

    Documentation of use of the bunker is very patchy. The last acknowledged use prior to Trump was 9/11, and then mention of Nixon using it a bit (ironically, his advisors told him it was the perfect operations center to monitor political protests...), supposedly in one instance to view a porno whilst deciding on anti-pornography legislation!

    Fun fact:
    Cuz Trump was already a troll, and he hid underground, he's officially a CHUD.
    And cuz Melania clearly doesn't fuck him anymore, I think he pretty much qualifies as an incel.
    :async:

    Donald Trump, our CHUD, incel, troll president. :yes:

    That oldfella and Zombie did victory cartwheels over in 2016.
    They think CHUD troll incels are awesome.
    When they're Team Elephant CHUD troll incels.
    Always remember that.
    Cuz I sure will.
    I'm saving that receipt.
    Yes indeedy.
