We both agree on this, but I guess not how it gets applied.
In 27 BC, after Rome's transition from republic to empire, the first emperor of Rome, Augustus, designated the Praetorians as his personal security escort. For three centuries, the guards of the Roman emperor were also known for their palace intrigues, by whose influence upon imperial politics the Praetorians could overthrow an emperor and then proclaim his successor as the new caesar of Rome.
The most powerful law enforcement, are always the ones that guard the rulers.

If the rulers allow their personal security to be punished for doing their jerbs, they'll just stop doing their jerbs, and shortly there will be new rulers.
Same reason the Feds never prosecute the Capitol Police.
 
The state department is spilling spaghetti over world war on PBS. I would link but I can’t through Kiwi embedding it doesn’t like YouTube live format.

Secret Service members say they didn't shoot the Trump assassin because they didn't want to get accused of murder. Also, they call Trump surviving by sheer dumb luck and divine intervention a win on their part.

After this election cycle who do you see as the smart money for the Republican Primary? Do you think the Desantis shoe thing has him dead in the water? Do Republicans run with Tim Scott to secure the black vote?

frankly I dont think they can go back to a run of the mill Republican like before, they might try but I don't think it will work. the guy after trump needs to be a populist or a nationilist.

I don’t see DeSantis being a viable candidate unless he goes through a major rebranding. He blew his load running this cycle. He’s also term-limited before next cycle iirc, and if he’s off the national stage for a while, it’ll be much harder to stage a successful run.
I think if Trump wins, Vance is a smart choice from a betting odds perspective.
I personally like Cruz, but I don’t see him being a likely winner. A lot of people really don’t like him.
Josh Hawley may be a dark horse candidate IMO, he’s not yet gone for a presidential run iirc.

But four years is a long time, and a lot is contingent upon the outcome of this election. This isn’t like 2020 where as soon as Trump lost, it was clear to the smart money who was gonna be the nominee in 2024.
