This works for me, how about you?

1. Yes, That Certainly Works For Me (As Well)

And if he were (to be) stripped of all other currently available presidential perks, that would be even better.

[brewens]

2. He's a billionaire. He can afford to pay for his own full-time security. In fact that expense

along with the pension is a joke to a guy that wealthy. He can't claim to even need taxpayers to cover it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. I get it, but ex-Pres security is not a perk. Further, private security is INSUFFICIENT

Secret Service protection is a necessity for the stability of the nation.

Murder or injury of even a disgraced former President would create national upheavals we don't need.

Further, private security is insufficient for two reasons:

1) Threats can be international or be organized in force to overwhelm private security. The Secret Service gets information from the three-letter agencies that is not available to private security.

2) An ex-President can be competent at winning votes but incompetent at organizing proper, effective security.

35. Also, with appropriate vetting,

Secret Service agents could possibly help to check his antisocial behabior.

[Mr. Evil]

8. He's a BINO.

Billionaire In Name Only.

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Yep, he's a clown living on credit.

n/t

[lostnfound]

14. ALBINO

A Loser Billionaire in Name Only

Apologies to actual albinos.

[Mr. Evil]

17. Ba Da Bing!

[YoshidaYui]

30. BA DA bong!!

lets light a joint to him getting indicted...eventually may his legal troubles be enough to send him to prison for life.

[Mr. Evil]

31. Without a cellphone, either!

[calimary]

39. DEFINITELY without a cellphone!

I don't think they allow cellphone privileges in one's jail/prison cell. Full disclosure: I've never tested that theory.

[Mr. Evil]

40. "I've never tested that theory."

And I certainly hope you never have the displeasure of doing so!

[calimary]

41. Yeah, no kidding!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

36. The only orange ALBINO. . . nt

[we can do it]

20. Beat me to it.

[Mr. Evil]

21. I have my days!

[housecat]

28. good one!

[brewens]

42. I know. I suppose at some point with everything he controlled, all that could have

been over a billion. I doubt he could ever have cashed out and ended up with anything close to a billion.

[DFW]

43. The old question

If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does it still make a noise?

If you have borrowed $5 billion, but owe $10 billion, are you a billionaire, or are you the world‘s biggest deadbeat? Or both? I guess if no one has the capacity to call in the debt, then you‘re both.

[Mr. Evil]

45. Or, as they say, technically, on paper...

[gab13by13]

9. Nearly all of his businesses are losing money,

the few that make money need to pump money into the failing ones.

Trump is not a good businessman.

When Letitia James is done with him (Oct. 2nd trial) he will not be able to do any business in New York, she will cripple him.

[Cherokee100]

13. And

Send him to Moscow, where he can serve his time, in a Russian prison. He would be among friends there.

[mobeau69]

3. They better fast track it. Ex-post facto laws aren't constitutional.

[Kennah]

33. That was my thought

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. I don't see any downside. If a former prez is disgraced & has to live in poverty, so be it. nt

[Emile]

6. Strip him of all benefits including Secret Service protection.

[3Hotdogs]

7. What? He gives all his salary to charity, don't he?

Yiz don't like charity?

[Traildogbob]

11. And cut off

Melania’s entitlement that she will get after he finally dies.

[Scalded Nun]

12. Pension, security detail...any/all perks reserved for former presidents.

[ECL213]

22. Here, here! Pay for your own security, asshole.

How many millions did this prick make charging the Secret Service to stay at his shithole country clubs.

[3catwoman3]

24. I thought that was particularly reprehensible.

He is such a lowlife. A thoroughly despicable person with no redeeming qualities - not a single one.

[stopdiggin]

15. nah. I'd have to stick with sedition,

insurrection, actual crimes against the state. 'Felony' is probably too broad a category. And paying off a stripper (among a couple thousand other shi**y and dishonest things he's done both in and out of office) doesn't rise to the level ... Overall - I'd be a vote against. And I also think there's a certain element of sophomore games and hi-jinks here - which also merits more eye-roll that endorsement.

[MadameButterfly]

25. if you make it as broad as a felony Democratic presidents

would be pursued endlessly in hopes of getting a felony to cut off pensions.

[czarjak]

16. Same as ANYONE receiving a federal pension.

[grantcart]

18. And ex Generals too. They should strip Flynn of his pension.

[Takket]

19. I looked this up. It was two years ago.

Submitted Feb 2021 by Jayapal and Maloney. It was sent to the oversight committee and no action has been taken since.

Maloney lost to a rethug in 2022.

Called the REAP act.

Being that rethugs now own the committees I would say this bill is dead.

[blueinredohio]

23. Not only presidents.

Anyone in congress, senate, judges etc.

[MadameButterfly]

26. how about removing Supreme Justices appointed by a crook,

insurrectionists especially.

[SeattleVet]

27. Just the pension? That's chump-change to TFG.

Strip away ALL of the benefits that former Presidents get...office and staff allowances, health care, health insurance, and Secret Service protection.

The value of the 'side-bennies' is way higher than the piddly little pension.

[Cha]

29. Boom!

[YoshidaYui]

32. Hehe

[Hortensis]

34. For "a" felony? Good grief, no. Even if it could apply to tRump. nt

[live love laugh]

37. I guess the symbolism is okay because the pension amount is minuscule for crooks like TFG.

[ShazzieB]

38. YES, PLEASE!

[RocRizzo55]

44. Yep

Sure does
