Secret Service must hate these photo-ops where they have to run backgrounds, put people in the kitchen, secure the place for knives, forks, etc, set up a perimeter, basically do 4 hours work for a less than 10 minute media event.
Sad thing: If the story about the Secret Service Agents saying "thanks for standing up to Biden" is true, those guys are going to get reassigned to Alaska.

i have my doubts for about that part of the story... but you never know. There are some White House residents that the Secret Service hated working for.

Alaska is not as funny as Biden but it is much prettier.

I wasn't sure how to interpret the agents' comment to the baker when I read that (if the story is true). Was it "thank you for not putting us through the hassle of setting everything up" or was it more "thanks for standing up to Crazy Joe and telling him to take a hike."
If the former, they had to have known they'd need to set up somewhere down the street anyhow. If the latter, while I appreciate their honesty, I'm not sure that publicly bad-mouthing a man they're supposed to take a bullet for is a cool move. At least wait until he's out of office someday.

Yea I have a feeling it is the latter (if true), because they have to set up somewhere either way. I also don't like that they said it. While I'm sure none of them would be derelict in their duty to protect the VEEP, I'd rather them keep silent on their opinions and views while on the job.

Did anyone else notice the Median Household Income? Makes me want to puke and cry at the same time.

Radford is full of bigots, just like everywhere else. Everyone is bigoted against something.

But these are the worst kind of bigots, the kind that don't want a 2nd Obama term.
