TFG did get the insurrection rioting, pulling apart the capital and shitting on everything. He got all those wanabe traitors going and then he couldn't join in? They stopped him from joining in on the fighting and shitting?

Well any 5 year old would have attempted to be rid of the adults trying to keep him safe. Any small child would have kicked and screamed or tried to choke the adults stopping him from joining in on the fun. Clearly the Secret Service was in the wrong.

Murder Pence or a few Dem Congress critters???

He wanted in on the fun.

The crazytown party gets worse and worse the more they look into it.

At this point I'm just surprised the Supremely Religious Court didn't simply hand a gun to every Nazi wacko in the US and let them murder their least favorite lib woman. They are part of that crazytown too, especially Clarance and Ginni. So, I guess we're lucky they just aren't out and out murdering we who disagree with them.

There is access between the driver compartment and the passengers in the back. I would have thought there was a significant barrier given the other security measures in the vehicle.

He started to choke Robert Engel, the head of his Secret Service detail who was protecting the SS driver from the orange anus

thanks

I just read Charles Pierce's bit. Here's a recap: The driver refused to take TFG to the Capitol. TFG reached over the seat and tried to grab the steering wheel. Bobby Engel grabbed TFG back and then TFG tried to strangle Engel.

So he basically attacked TWO people in that car.
