From my understanding, his service detail are all true believers. Remember, most LEOs and the like are very right wing.

We gave her an allowance at our own discretion, though I forbade Shein and Temu due to their tracking software.
Most of her addiction to shopping started before she was put in the foster system. Since no one wanted to raise her, she was often just handed a tablet and told to keep quiet.
To get to the core of your question, in just about every day to day occurrence, we were her parents and had the final say. The way to look at it is: we were essentially in a three parent partnership with the foster care program being the third parent that could veto us at any time, though they would only do so in the case of safety.
I hate these companies so much. Last year, we fostered an 11-year-old girl who was essentially raised by YouTube. She was obsessed with fast fashion, wanted to have the hair of the Asian influencers she watched (she's black with t 13 [I think] textured hair), and wanted all sorts of shit from Temu, Shein and AliExpress. It was so bad, she got annoyed at my ad blockers, as she had a fear of missing out of the "latest sales."
These companies, and the advertising itself, have made her obsessed with instant endorphin fixes, and the moment she gets a credit card, she will completely ruin her financial future with it.
The most ethical army in history, ladies and gentlemen!
I had the same experience with Scott Card. I loved the Ender books, the books about his older brother trying to be a good person when he was a "bad child" really resonated with me.
I was so disappointed when I looked him up and saw how hateful he really was.
I might have put my generations wrong, her grandfather was born in Ireland, so I think you're right in that she's actually a second generation immigrant.
My wife is a 3rd generation Irish immigrant, meaning she can apply for dual citizenship and I can get Irish citizenship as a "needed specialist."
It's not the easiest escape plan, especially since it would mean abandoning her aging father, but at least we can get out of here if/when the Brown Shirts come for us.
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing that!
This is exactly how he got elected in 2016. All he does is lie and attack and people believe him. If the moderators pushed him even slightly on his lies instead of allowing him to spew whatever bullshit he wanted for two minutes, the night would have gone much differently. Instead, Joe had to spend half of his time refuting clear lies instead of talking about his accomplishments.
Compared to what they were likely thinking, "Blacks for Trump" is downright progressive for them.
Surely, just like their rhetoric to arm every teacher in schools, giving every person at the RNC a gun when they enter will make it the safest place in the world.
