Tremendous Suburbans, The Most Suburbans

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

The california tropics, often shortened to just cal trops, are so easy to make and fun to play with in the street!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

You know about that african dictator that used to block streets to do a phone call on a folding chair on the street (to assert dominance)? They want to be like him. Ape stuff, truly.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I bet italian people feel so honored by his visit

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 7 points 7 hours ago

I hope the locals were like "I didn't know which car to boo for, so I booed to all of them"

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago

Boooooooooooooooooooo

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

One IED and that fuck is gone.

[–] ProdigiousInsanity@lemmus.org 4 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

I see you there wanting me to upvote this, but I won't because reddit banned me for much less

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

This ain't Reddit

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

This isn't reddit and I wish JD vance and his cronies a happy IED eating

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

May we ask some of what you were banned for? Just voting or comments? I always drop accounts after a 2nd violation so I don't get permabanned but want to quit completely as their violations are usually not against the rules, and often I think for other reasons, dishonest.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 9 hours ago

I'm sure the other 39 cars will be a lot of help.

You wouldn't even need to bother with the bomb, just shoot him when he gets out of the car his smug face is a pretty big target.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 9 hours ago

So, some of them believe they have the authority to use their siren and act like Italian police, almost causing an incident in the process.

I'm sure everything will turn out well.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 9 hours ago

its costed 10 million for all of this.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

Is Just Dumb taking another family vacation? Looks like something straight out of Chechnya.

[–] 1stQ@feddit.org 20 points 17 hours ago

Lots of big black vehicles..
Those are the villains of this movie, right?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 57 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Supposedly he brought his own food with him to Italy. Why would anyone bring American food to fucking Italy

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Btw, did test-eating ever truly help? Only a small part of the potato salad can be poisoned...

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

That’s probably some Secret Service thing, because the threat of poisoning is actually real. In America, the Secret Service goes to great lengths to vet potential restaurant stops wherever the POTUS/VP is going to be. But they don’t exactly have jurisdiction to do that when they’re in another country.

Notably, Trump’s love of fast food has made the Secret Service’s job extremely frustrating… He apparently has a tendency to just spontaneously demand a drive-thru stop, giving the Secret Service no time to actually run security checks on the staff ahead of time.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 4 hours ago

I doubt he eats that much of the fast food himself, and that it's more of a public image thing, he wants to look like he's eating it.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I wonder how much piss, shit, and semen Trump eats on a regular basis from these spontaneous McDonald's stops. 🤔

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 22 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Because he thinks someone will try to poison him. The Stalinist paranoia has set in.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Like father, like son. Part of why Trump eats so shitty is the same fear.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Is it really paranoia if its a very credible realistic fear?

[–] wieson@feddit.org 4 points 9 hours ago

~~fear~~ hope

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago

His charade parade likely cost an American figure skater a gold medal. The traffic jam his ego created delayed her arrival to the venue so much she had to skip her entire warmup.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 130 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (7 children)

From a security perspective, these only serve to create an extensive roadblock - and a traffic jam as seen at the end. Disable one in front, one in rear, and you’ve got them kettled. Plus, as you can see, it’s a very slow moving convoy. A dozen bike cops and two cars (Couchfucker + security detail) would be sufficient.

Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

Neo has a really good video on the presidential motorcade and how it works. It is completely absurd in a place like Milan, certainly, but every part of it is there for a reason.

Here is that video on Nebula

And here it is on YouTube

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One size doesn’t fit all.

Moreover, the president is getting the treatment of a king. They are ostensibly fungible assets. There’s a succession plan. The more they’re protected, the more they’re a target (and invading foreign countries doesn’t help).

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I agree, which is why I said using the motorcade in Milan is absurd. 🙂

[–] e8CArkcAuLE@piefed.social 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

and looking at their license plates, around half of them have US ones, which means those cars were probably flown in. or do they have a standing motorcade for Europe? I saw one car had german plates…

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago

They fly them in a few days in advance.

Loads RPG

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 2 points 17 hours ago

I had the same impulse when seeing that convoy. I think there should be enough stuff from the war in ex-yugoslavia floating around, and with the current political climate there shouldn't be an issue finding 50-100 people to place on rooftops.

I guess from a security perspective it also helps to obfuscate Vance’s whereabouts. It’s difficult to know which one of the 40 vehicles he’s actually in.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Obfuscation is part of the motorcade, but not to the extent you would think. The motorcade has two presidential limos, and the POTUS is typically put in one while the VP is put in the other. Or in this case, the second limo would simply be empty. The order of the limos is random. The idea being that if you manage to bomb one limo, you’d only get either the VP or POTUS, and you’d have no way of knowing which one you got until after the fact. And that’s assuming the bomb is even effective, because the presidential limos have RPG-proof windows and heavy armored plating underneath the body panels.

Most of the motorcade is focused on things like landmine detection, biological weapon detection, chemical weapon detection, standby security forces in case they need to fan out/circle the wagons and create a secure perimeter, on-site medical staff, monitoring local radio chatter, jamming equipment to activate in case of an attack, etc…

[–] ageedizzle@piefed.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

That’s very interesting. Thanks for the info

Well I guess sofas are quite big. If JD boy brought his whole harem... That's a lot of cars.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I believe when you split them up like this (one piece per car) they are called sectionals. Or if you're JD Vance: sexualnals.

1:01 did they almost just fucking crash 🤣

This stupid spectacle is deliberate because the US is so fucking important, and stupid.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Sigh... reminds me I have to file my US tax returns.

Keep being scared little piggy!

No problem, just blow up all 40.

"I told you... (deep breath) they all need to have BENCH SEATS in the REAR! WHAT the FUCK do I PAY YOU PEOPLE FOR??!?? Don't you KNOW who I AM???"

Spreading ~~freedom~~ uh ~~democracy~~ uh unnavigable traffic! It's cute that they brought some gridlock from home so that the Americans would feel at home.
