LIR for Jovian. Pence didn't trust Trump's SS agents. -- nm - loosilu Jun 13, 15:07 26
- ? -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 13, 15:10 25
  - On Jan 6, Pence was ushered out of the capitol and told by Secret Service agents to get in a car. - loosilu Jun 13, 15:12 24
    - who would gavel the senate if the VP is not available? would that have made the plan work to throw the election to the house? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 15:15 1
      - Have to admit I don't know when it occurred in the timeline. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 13, 15:16
    - Yes. The why isn’t what you are implying. The SS mission is principal protection. Pence gets in the car, - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 13, 15:15 21
      - Oh I don't buy that. One of those agents was almost certainly in the bag for Trump -- nm - Jovian Jun 13, 15:42 7
        
        Tony Ornato for one (who lied to reporters after Cassidy Hutchinson spilled the beans about Trump wanting to choke out his own driver) -- (link*) - hollywood big shot Jun 13, 15:44 6
        
        "Ornato, who oversaw Secret Service movements, told him that Pence’s detail was planning to move the vice president to Joint Base Andrews." - hollywood big shot Jun 13, 15:45 5
        
        The SS job is to protect the principal. And yes, they will get that person as far the fuck away from a threat as they can. -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 13, 16:06 3
        
        You're trusting them too much. They are federal LEOs. That sector attracts white supremacists. -- nm - loosilu Jun 13, 16:25
        
        they lied about Biden's dog biting them. they're not neutral observers -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 13, 16:10 1
        
        WhaaaAt? That was a lie? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 17:52
        
        whoa -- nm - mud Jun 13, 15:47
      - Pence's comments make it sound like they were more interested in keeping him from certifying than in keeping him safe. - TWuG Jun 13, 15:29 2
        
        Keep in mind Pence's family was with him. -- nm - loosilu Jun 13, 15:47
        
        imo, Pence’s view is necessarily colored by his awareness of his role that day. -- nm* - znufrii 🦄 Jun 13, 15:37
      - they weren't really offering in the moment. they were ordering him at Trump's behest -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 13, 15:20
      - are you saying that every one of them had only honorable intentions? that not one had some .. - mud Jun 13, 15:20 7
        
        I’m saying their job is to protect him. His job was to protect the Constitution. He gets in a car, their job is easy. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 13, 15:40 2
        
        It is KNOWN that SS agents become attached to the person they protect. SS agents from one admin are assigned to their - loosilu Jun 13, 15:54

I'm thinking of buying a chair at a real store today. Rather than a nebulous secretlab, I'm leaning toward an "AKRacing EX". - Beryllium Jun 13, 14:39 18

  - for all the hours spent...your butt is worth the best -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 15:14 9
    - But "the best" is confusing, nebulous, and untestable. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 15:20 8
      - Youy're being stupid. It's for your job. -- nm - loosilu Jun 13, 15:28 7
        
        It's not stupid to want to be able to physically try something before buying it. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 15:28 6
        
        (Although, to your larger point about model choice stupidity, that part is probably fair) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 15:29
        
        Oh, I must have missed that part. -- nm - loosilu Jun 13, 15:29 4
        
        I didn't spell it out in so many words, but the main reason I'm considering this specific chair is ... - Beryllium Jun 13, 15:32 3
        
        OK I guess I'm confused,. You're going to the store so you can try it. I don't understand what part you think is stupid. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 13, 15:56 2
        
        You said "you're being stupid". -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 16:03 1
