"President Donald Trump has revoked the Secret Service detail for former vice president Kamala Harris.... The decision comes about a month before Harris... is scheduled to embark on a national book tour..."
"... her first extended public exposure since leaving office. Federal law gives vice presidents six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office, though Biden, before his presidency ended, had extended her detail for another year, according to a person familiar with the decision.... With the termination of the Harris detail, Trump has canceled security for every protected holdover from the Biden administration except Biden and former first lady Jill Biden, who by law are guaranteed lifetime Secret Service protection. High-ranking administration officials are not automatically guaranteed protection after leaving government, nor are children of former presidents over the age of 16...."

While children are gunned down by insane trans-dem - we are all to shed a tear for poor Kamala.
Kamala - pay for your own security.
Your dumb book tour DOES NOT concern the US tax payer.
Her advance on the book she "wrote" was $20 million. She can pay for her own protection.
"Federal law gives vice presidents six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office"
In other words, Trump applies the existing law to Kamala Harris. The horror!
Unlike Republicans, Democrat Party members don't have to worry about psychotic supporters of the opposition party doxxing them and their families, hunting them down to harass and threaten them, attack them and shoot at them or set them on fire, and they don't have the leaders of the opposition party encouraging that violence and despicable behavior.
"In other words, Trump applies the existing law to Kamala Harris. The horror!"
Yeah, can't WaPo count?
I doubt Harris is at risk.
I wonder if Biden actually extended her protection or if the Mighty Autopen did it?

The same 2AM MAGA-hat Chicago roaming noose and bleach guys might try to harm her. *The idiots on the left still buy the Smolette lies* LOL.
@Michael Fitzgerald: "Democrat Party members don't have to worry about psychotic supporters..."
They just have to worry about being killed by the Party members next door in Detroit, Philadelphia, South Central Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Baltimore, the Bronx, downtown Memphis, etc. etc. etc.
They just have to worry about being taxed to death as the police are defunded and as they turn a blind eye to shoplifters, carjackings, and street junkies pooping on the sidewalk and then dying in their tents.
Democrats want to bring their internal hell to you too. Equity.
Friends don't let friends drive drunk. For everything else, there's Mastercard.
She's for They/Them. She's got nothing to worry about.
"though Biden, before his presidency ended, had extended her detail for another year, according to a person familiar with the decision"
Stated, without evidence.
Kamala Harris is a worthless person. Nothing would really change for the people if she was killed. There is no reason another country or anyone in this country would put forth the effort.
Also Democrats don’t really have that need for protection personally because their political opponents are not insane like they are.
Progressives say the country is safe, so they shouldn't be crying about this.
I think she's at risk -- what public figure isn't? But it doesn't follow that taxpayers should have to foot the bill for 24/7 secret service protection for her. If she's paying for her own security, she can decide which situations call for having bodyguards with her and which ones don't.
I'm also reminded that Trump was denied all of the SS protection he clearly needed last summer partly because of the security being provided at that time to Dr. Jill. I gather from this that SS protection is a finite resource.
If you think that's bad, I'm so old I remember when a Democrat Congress and President took a hard look at seeing if they could revoke Trump's SS detail, on the premise of cooked-up lawfare charges, and were disappointed to find that they couldn't.
As opposed to simply following the existing laws and regulations, they invested taxpayer resources into trying to come up with new ways to circumvent them, for political purposes, to hurt their political enemies.
Compare, if you will the likelihood of violence against Harris versus, say, RFK Jr as he ran for President. Lots of loonies calling him a murderer. Lots of family history of assassination.
Yet Biden would NOT grant SS protection for RFK. Let Kamala pay her own way or stay huddled in safety at home. Either way a win-win for the rest of us.
Kamala can get more money from those who donated $1.5B to her brief "pop star fun time" campaign last year. Maybe Oprah can return a few bucks, or Bloomberg, or Gates, or Soros.
Trump's first VP, Mike Pence, had a book (you surely read it!) and did a book tour about a year after he left office. His Secret Service protection ended, as prescribed by law, 6 months after he left office. Just for the record.
Kamala who?
Speaking of who's a threat and who's at risk: "Another Democratic member has called for people to "rise up" against the federal government and analogized the conduct of ICE to "the SS and the Gestapo.” Connecticut Rep. John Larson's comments come at a time when there has been an 830% surge in assaults on federal agents."
One of the excuses for the poor SS protection for Trump at Butler was because most of the SS in the area was "protecting" "Dr" Jill.
Good for Trump for saving valuable resources by not wasting any on the Biden Admin people who set him up to die
For some reason I have a copy of Mitt Romney and his lovely wife Ann Romney's cookbook. In there they casually mention how Ann loved cooking for their secret service detail while they were running for President. The day after the election, she made pancakes or something for them, and the secret service detail left for good.
So Kamala got far, far more secret service protection as a losing Presidential candidate than Romney.
Just thought I'd point that out....
I also think someone said that being on the Romney's SS detail was sought after, because just like GWB (for all his faults), the Romneys and GWB's family treated the secret service like humans.
Unlike the Clintons and Obamas. I bet the Bidens treated theirs like garbage too. And isn't there a viral video of Trump running over and picking up a hat for one of his protective detail when it got blown off by the wind?
Biden used to like to swim naked in front of his female SS agents over their objections. Apparently something of a bank walker, he had a bit of Al Capp in him.
Original Mike, how many of those were the dreaded assault with a Subway sandwich?
Anything can go up 800% when you make the definition of assault a joke.
She should avoid visiting Minnesota. And the border? Did she ever? DC is a safe bet. LA has improved. In New York, the apple bobs for you.
"Federal law gives vice presidents six months of Secret Service protection" <> "who by law are guaranteed lifetime Secret Service protection"
Who edits this fish wrap?
A substantial number of former Administration people were given protective details as it was winding down, including some for the same WH staff that likely authorized and Autosigned the orders. Harris is apparently the last one. Good.
In other words, Trump applies the existing law to Kamala Harris. The horror!
Yah, no kiddin’. Just because she’s your only hope…
this is an OUTRAGE!
1st the dems put 3th string (no, 4th string) SS agents on Trump
then the dems ordered an assassination of Trump, which still failed
THEN the dems ordered At LEAST one more assassination attempt on Trump (which STILL failed)..
*THEN* because of some number counting fluke (more people voted for Trump than was expected (or allowed))
*NOW!* Trump is not only ALIVE, but acting as if HE were President of the USA!!
and *NOW* he is using some loophole
(EXPLICIT LEGAL WORDING OF LAW)
to ENDANGER the RIGHTFUL President!
this is an OUTRAGE!
who, the HELL does this FELON think he IS?
he has no more legal or Constitutional right to do this, than he does to fire the head of the Fed!
Kamaltoe raised 100 billion dollars just 13 months ago, surely there's enough left over to hire private security agents... Huh? What? ...Aw, shit.
"Federal law gives vice presidents six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office"
In other words, Trump applies the existing law to Kamala Harris. The horror!
Sounds more like the protection simply expired, without any action by Trump. Misleading headline.
"Original Mike, how many of those were the dreaded assault with a Subway sandwich?

Assault with a deli weapon is no joke.
Walz 'n Karma-la.
"Biden used to like to swim naked in front of his female SS agents over their objections."
And his dog repeatedly attacked SS agents.
Just another MSM story to be filed under "Orange man always bad".
VPs get six months of SS protection. Biden tried to give her 1.5 years. Trump has said, nope, she gets 6, just like Pence.
And she's rich enough to hire her own bodyguards.
THe Democrat pols are like a robot army. they all think alike on every major issue. Strike down one robot, and another will take its place. So Harris is in no danger. There's zero reason for anyone to care.
“Revoked”? He declined to extend it, which is not the same thing.
So...why did Biden (or his auto-pen) give Harris extended security that no previous VP had?
I hope Tampon Tim doesn't hire any more hitmen.
1) I wonder if any murderous terror seeking individual will notice or care?
2) I wonder if anyone outside of media talking heads and university professors will buy her new book?
3) I wonder if any of those buying her book will actually read it, or simply display it prominently behind them on a bookshelf when they are on a podcast or in a zoom meeting or appearing as an expert on MSNBC?
4) I wonder how many copies the publisher will get stuck with, then sold at half price to be given away as registration gifts at some DNC convention?
5) I wonder what she's getting paid for her name on the thing.
The Bobby Kennedy campaign had to hire its own security at great expense. I saw it.
Joe Biden - knowing full well that his dad and uncle were murdered - refused to extend government protect for Bobby.
What a petty and terrible person Joe Biden (or maybe Jill Biden) is. The Biden campaign wanted to bleed money from the Kennedy campaign.
A new thing for the rage-filled cultists on the left to be enraged over.
I wonder what they will do? More Molotov cocktails? More random trans rage and death?
So...why did Biden (or his auto-pen) give Harris extended security that no previous VP had?
To give a negative news story to Trump somewhere down the road, which was today. And you can bet later, if anything happens to Kamala; this news story will come up and Democrats will howl that Trump put her in danger. In fact, Trump is following the statutory law, because as Trump was made to understand, "no one is above the law".
As BM notes, Trump didn't revoke, he just declined Biden's autopen extension. Wouldn't want Biden being all authoritarian and dictatorial, would we?
No true right wing person would murder Harris- she is literally the gift that keeps giving. The danger to Harris is from the left side of the spectrum who blame her for the loss last year.
There will be a line at the bookstores for Kamala like the line to slap the panicky woman in the movie Airplane.
Biden's DHS denied secret service protection to RFK Jr. when he was running as a third-party candidate. He only authorized it after the assassination attempt on Trump.
Did Kamala object to that?
When Kamala does book signing at Costco, will crowds be huge Covid toilet paper size, or typical slow Tuesdays?
Mark--go on out and scream in the face of a cop--any cop, anywhere--and then throw a sandwich, or any object, at them. See what happens. See what they charge you with.
The absence of secret service protection would be a more significant problem if Harris ever appeared in public.
This brouhaha now has me wondering: as of today, whose current Secret Service protection am I paying for? When did Mike Pence's Secret Service protection end? These "Trump is evil" hit pieces are getting old.
tommyesq (i think) said..
Sounds more like the protection simply expired, without any action by Trump. Misleading headline
not really;
Kammy got 6 months free, as part of the legal law..
Biden's Autopen gave her Another year, free (at Tax Payer Expense)
Trump revoked the remainder of her extra year..
If he'd done "no action" it would have been in effect for another 11 months or so.
Original Mike, how many of those were the dreaded assault with a Subway sandwich?

Maybe you should stop cracking wise and pull your head out of your ass long enough to see what your people are doing.
On the evening of Independence Day, a group of Antifa terrorists carried out an ambush attack on [an] Immigration [and] Customs Enforcement facility in Alvarado, Texas. They drew immigration agents outside by shooting fireworks at the building and vandalizing cars in [the] parking lot.
And then here are your friends in Portland.

That's just off the top.
Someone pointed out that the Biden administration revoked the protection for a number of Trump officials who were subject to death threats from Iran. So I'm not going to bleed over Kamala's loss of protection.
@Skeptical Voter: "Biden administration revoked the protection for a number of Trump officials"
Not to mention their treatment of the Supreme Court, to include Chuck Schumer's apparent direct threat:
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price,” Schumer said. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

What one Presidential executive order giveth, a different Presidential executive order can taketh away...
The Ghost Writer (2010) isn't horrible.
it was very good in fact, quite faithful to Harris's vision, Polanski has many faults, but being a screen writer is not one of them, Brosnan as a thinly disguised Tony Blair, really stands out,
in fact he done pretty well as Cockney mob boss on Paramount plus, as with the mysterious spymasters in Black Bags, earlier this year,
I don't think anyone cares enough about Kamala Harris to try to kill her -- or buy her book.
splunge but i'm not being indecisive,
She should be grateful. This exponentially increased the number of people who are aware she's doing a book tour.
Joy! Joy! Joy! Joy! Joy! Joy!…
why do they keep trying to make her happen, it won't
"why do they keep trying to make her happen"
She's a black(ish) female, it's not like they can tell her no.
Some people are kept in the public eye, despite their utter unsuitability, others are kept out, because they are too decent,
Who will keep Doug off the help?
Who will watch Ella now that her modeling career is over?
Classic Office Space move by Trump administration. They didn't fire her secret service agents. They just tore up the paper work that gets them paid. They just forgot to ht.
The left, "He's put a target on her back."
"And that's her most important part as it enabled her to get all those career opportunities."

Psycho killers want to be remembered for killing a significant personage. No self-respecting psycho would bother with Kammy.
"how many of those were the dreaded assault with a Subway sandwich?". Do you suppose the officer who was assaulted knew that the sandwich was just a sandwich ? It makes a difference. Now that you clowns think it's a joke, what will the next sandwich contain ?
Regarding kamala's protection detail. Why should we waste money protecting politicians who daily demonstrate that they hate Americans and America ?
