The Democrats have been trying to destroy Donald Trump ever since he announced his candidacy for president back in 2015. They’ve framed him for Russian collusion, election interference, and even rape. They’ve impeached him twice. They’ve tried to bar him from the ballot. They still may succeed in convicting him of bogus crimes and even sending him to prison, all in the hope of making sure that he doesn’t walk back into the Oval Office on Jan. 20, 2025. Yet even all this isn’t enough for some of these sinister authoritarians.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Racism) on Friday introduced a bill to “terminate United States Secret Service protection for felons.” Thompson evidently doesn’t count a competent prose stylist among his handlers, for the “Short Title” of this bill is as verbose as it is grandiose, self-important, and silly: ‘‘This Act may be cited,” it announces on its first page “as the ‘Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act’ or the ‘DISGRACED Former Protectees Act.’”
Thompson’s bill stipulates that Secret Service protection “shall terminate for any person upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year.’’ There is an unmistakable hint that the Democrats plan to imprison Trump for at least a year, ideally so that he will be behind bars on November 5, 2024 and January 20, 2025.
Thompson explained:
Unfortunately, current law doesn’t anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee—even a former President. It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality. Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment—and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them.
You see, this malignant clown just wants “equity”: as a convicted felon, which he likely soon will be given our two-tier “justice” system, Trump shouldn’t get better treatment in prison than any other convicted felon. “This bill,” Thompson added, “would remove the potential for conflicting lines of authority within prisons and allow judges to weigh the sentencing of individuals without having to factor in the logistical concerns of convicts with Secret Service protection.”
Thompson argues in a fact sheet for the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act, that the bill “would remove the potential for conflicting lines of authority within prisons and allow judges to weigh the sentencing of individuals without having to factor in the logistical concerns of convicts with Secret Service protection.” In other words, a corrupt leftist judge will be able to feel free to throw the book at the left’s Emmanuel Goldstein without having to take into account distracting matters such as the logistics of having Secret Service agents effectively sentenced to prison along with him.
Byron York of the Washington Examiner noted what all this was really about: Thompson, he wrote, “ran the January 6 committee, which mixed elements of show trial and reality series. Focused solely on Trump, of course.” York stated that the “obvious subtext here is that removing USSS would make it easier for someone to kill Trump, which is arguably the goal of Thompson’s bill, H.R. 8081: The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act.”
Indeed. Democrats have been trying to kill Trump politically for years, and what they have thrown at him would have been enough to destroy the political careers of a thousand RINOs. Yet Bad Orange Man is still standing. Now, with leftists crazier, more aggressive, and more emboldened than ever before in American history, and increasingly inclined to resort to violence against those whom they hate and fear, Bennie Thompson wants to leave Trump defenseless against them as he serves time on the Democrats’ fake charges against him. In a sane political atmosphere, this would derail Thompson’s own political career. Instead, he’ll probably get jumped in line for the next plum committee appointment.

Bill of Attainder. Once they get him in prison, finito.
Chaya says
if only the “comedia was finito” and we could get back to a sane world and a more valid election than 2020 .But it isn’t. .
Jeff Bargholz says
I think Trump is screwed, which means America is screwed.
Jeff Bargholz says
Oh, and we need regular canings in Congress.
Hardball1Alpha says
Hypothetical: Let’s say a POTUS is indeed convicted, and sent to prison without Secret Service protection:
Instead of an outright killing or merely given a vicious beat-down, the prison “crew” places him/her into a torture chamber, similar to those used by the North Vietnamese on our American POWs. (Why? Because that’s what Marxists do)
And because they’re so good at getting POWs to divulge secrets, this POTUS spills his/her guts about all the countless classified briefings, imagery and technology that he/she has been exposed to during their Presidency.
The loss to the nation would be incalculable, and MANY undercover or Spec Warfare Operators would be killed or likewise taken prisoner and tortured.
This is EXACTLY why I suggested that the POTUS, SCOTUS and members of Congress be required to attend the US Navy’s SERE School. (basically POW training). They are (or at least back when I served) very good at teaching how to defend against such Marxist brainwashing tactics.
Maybe this topic needs to actually be thrown around in the court of public opinion.

Blowhard Bennie says what? Did it ever occur to him that most Americans
are angry that President Trump is actually prevented from campaigning
due to sitting in Court on a flimsy and bogus criminal charge? That they
are even angrier that you now dare to put his life in danger with your
sinister legislation.
Maybe it hasn’t occurred to Bennie because he knows how intimidated
Americans now are when it comes to protesting – thanks to the
unconstitutional lockups of Jan 6 whose investigative commission Bennie
headed with such zeal. Yesterday on Truth Social, President Trump
reminded Americans that Palestinian protestors are allowed to “roam
the cities, scream, shout, sit, block traffic, enter buildings. . . . . threaten
Supreme Court Justices right in front of their homes” while other Americans
are not allowed to ‘peacefully protest’ and instead are ushered off to far
away holding areas – essentially denying them their Constitutional rights.
Trump said Free Speech and the right to Peaceful Assembly have been “chilled”
for U.S.A. supporters but the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
So to Bennie, Biden and the rest of the Commies – FO. While we pray for courage
to enter our hearts – the same kind that Donald John Trump has.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Probably the ONLY thing that might wake this racist fool up is a scare that makes him do what Biden did in the Vatican his first summer in office. Actually, more than a few in Congress merit this, although them consider themselves to be royalty.
jcr says
This lawfare against Trump sickens me.
It is a cancer on our country.
NEVER, EVER vote for a Dem, progressive, liberal or RINO.
Congressional term limits. Twelve years LIFETIME maximum.
No retirement benefits. Afterall, it is “Public Service.”
Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment. Restore States rights.
Greg says
Democ-rats intend to give President Trump a Jeffrey Epstein hanging in a maximum security jail cell. When the deed is done, ex-Attorney General Bill Barr will once again assure us that it was suicide. Democ-rats of color will dance with joy and anybody who does not will be called a… (wait for it)… racist. Memo to Democ-rats: KMA!
Intrepid says
Fat Bennie’s idiotic bill will never pass the House.
Onzeur Trante says
Thompson calls it “regrettable” that Trump could land in prison sans secret service protection. Regrettable.
The entire farce of Trump on trial is a “regrettable” dumpster load of crap. . The crucial point is that they want Trump dead, one way or another. Regrettable please shake hands with heinous. Yes, it could happen here.
Angel Jacob says
Those murderous thugs don’t belong in the US government.
You can take a person out of the ghetto, but can never take the ghetto out of him/her.
World@70 says
I saw this a couple days ago on another site and committed. Some of those I’ll repeat here in (…).
(Bennie Thompson’s closet must be filled with skeletons for him to show this utter distain for Donald Trump in addition to the disgrace shown in his leading the J6 farce.) Dems are labeling Trump a criminal before he is even tried or found guilty. Also the name calling and the ludicrous accusations of what he will do if elected, i.e. he is (Hitler, he’s racist, he hates women, he’s going to put people in concentration camps), throw journalists in prison, get rid of, i.e. eliminate, his opponents, etc. I listened to Hillary yesterday accuse Trump of so many fake charges and insane predictions, instead of thanking him for not perusing charges against her for the many crimes James Comey let slide prior to her 2020 loss. If I recall correctly, Trump said, she has suffered enough and we have more important things to do.
(Trump had 4 years to commit all those atrocities he is now predicted to do and never did even one of them. The things Joe Biden has done to Americans cannot be excused or glossed over with silly mottos like “Build Back Better” (something badly needed in Joe’s wake), or “Bidenomics” (a useless slogan without substance).)
LTC John says
If Pres Trump is physically harmed or killed by these Marxist clowns, they need to prepare for their own deaths. Retribution will be severe.
SPURWING PLOVER says
How about if old Sawdust for Brains, Thomson Took a nice long walk off a short pier
notebeat says
Just point him out towards the water and say it’s all free.
MuggsSpongedice says
USA is headed for another Civil War or Revolutionary War Deux!!!!!
Chris Shugart says
I have to keep saying this, as I’m not sure it’s sinking in. Most of Trump’s opposition are thoroughly convinced that Trump is like Hitler or worse, Which means that we should expect that they truly believe that they’re morally justified to eliminate him by any means necessary. And that likely goes for his supporters as well.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
If it does, IF it does, the opportunity should be used also to remove some of the scum, e.g., billionaire financiers of blm/antifa/other leftist orgs/NGOs that took fed money to assist the invasion across the southern border. Not a few also in the national media have been accomplices in the “fundamental change” and deserve similar fate. Hopefully, enough citizens wake up for the November vote to avoid further destruction of this once great Nation.
Robert L. Kahlcke says
What can you expect from someone who was WHELPED from a SWINE (pig).
Les Deplorables says
Body bag queen Hillary has been using the “k” word frequently when ranting about Trump.
Not just a dog whistle to “k” Trump, but a real threat that should be taken seriously.
Andrew Blackadder says
That fat ass negro was front and center at the J6th kangaroo court and his first words were… ”The Proud Boys are a racist group” and knew little of the group otherwise he would have noticed the Leader of that group is a Cuban African Hispanic guy…
Master CPL Savage 9 says
Big fan of Front Page & Daniel Greenfield.
Rarely comment on internet, try to keep a low profile. Didn’t make it through all the comments so not sure if anyone already addressed this.
If passed, would this “law” mean that POS 💩 Hunter Biden would immediately lose his Secret Service protection?!
