They often, but not nearly often enough, issue corrections and retractions for shoddy and misleading reporting.

Try reading DailyCaller and Breitbart for investigative reporting that WashingPoo and NY Slimes ignore because it makes the Left look bad -- like the DNC scandal about Pakistani IT guys having access to Dem emails and classified security info. Politicians in DC read those sites as well as give them exclusive interviews so they can't be so fake, huh? Even Obama watched Fox News because he was always complaining about them.


ah yes- the evil Mexican, you know he owns the a large part of the A shares, not the B shares which control the company, but keep buying the BS the supposed bastions of journalistic integrity like Brietbart and Daily Caller supply you. It's laughable. I know you and the Brietbart readers are the only ones who get the real news, the rest of the world just buys the fake stuff right?

Who's President?

If you want to keep believing these anonymous source stories, then have at it.

saying you display ignorance when you display ignorance is just pointing out the obvious. Perhaps make a cogent argument and we can move past it. Again, good job changing the subject b/c you have not been able to refute my argument.

And keep hanging your hat on a statistical anomaly long shot that came to fruition, as you point out over and over again how much you don't understand math, which is odd for a supposed engineer as you claim to be; b/c when in doubt, vomit up Hillary or Obama b/c that's all you really have, hate of liberals, no real intrinsic philosophy or dogma, just hate of libs.

I would too if I found out my own government was secretly spying on me.

Reducing security costs is good. It also makes me wonder what Donald Jr. is up to that he doesn't want witnesses to.

Think for average persons who never had such a thing, a sudden implementation of a 24/7 security detail would seem invasive and an intrusion. None of that applies to Junior.


From what limited reading one has done about this hot mess apparently it isn't the SS per se Junior objects to; but the constant swapping out of officers every several days or weeks.


Secret Service detail one surmises isn't like private security, you get whoever is assigned as scheduling permits, agreeable or disagreeable as the officers in question may happen to be.


Young children do need consistency; and so yes, can imagine Junior and or the Missus being somewhat irked by constant shifting of SS personnel as they move in and out of rotation.

Junior has been mighty quiet lately, or is it just me?

You don't know that for certain, do you?


Remember when *you* are footing the bill, you can hire whoever you wish and or set conditions of employment up to and including mandating privacy agreements. OTOH when the government or an other third party is paying you get what is sent and or have to deal with that bureaucracy.


Fame is one thing, wealth is another. There are plenty of famous persons today who are relatively poor, and as such certainly cannot afford 24/7 security. Junior Trump and spouse do not fit into that category.


When M. Bloomberg finished out his third and final term as NYC mayor he literally bought out his entire NYPD security detail. They now work for Bloomberg, LLC doing the same functions but under Mike Bloomberg's control. Bloomberg giving NYPD bodyguards jobs to ‘keep their mouths shut’ | New York Post


When it comes to domestic help or whatever you want to call them the well off to vastly wealthy do not need "freebies". What Mrs. DT Junior and or her husband want in terms of domestic arrangements likely has nothing to do with who is paying; again they can well afford their own help.

Junior's motivation? Ask yourself this simple question, if/when the indictments come down would Junior man up and stick around or skip town?

Yup; I just read the same things as well. Personally, I'm glad. It saves taxpayer money and I can't imagine anyone who'd want to assassinate Kellyanne. Donald Jr. can afford his own personal protection; he's got the $$$. For that matter, so can Kellyanne.
