Kamala Harris will receive protection from the California Highway Patrol after Trump revoked her Secret Service protection, law enforcement sources said Friday.

California officials put in place a plan to provide Harris with dignitary protection after Trump ended an arrangement that gave his opponent in last year’s election extended Secret Service security coverage.

Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday ending Harris’ protection as of Monday, according to sources not authorized to discuss the security matter.

      She would’ve continued the slow slide into fascism that brought about Trump in the first place. She would’ve been better than Trump, sure. But after her, we would’ve gotten another figure like Trump.

        Right so by your own words… when given the option to slow the slide versus jumping head first into accelerating it…

        It feels morally wrong to say I would have liked to have kicked that can another few decades down the road, but I would really have liked that as opposed to personally watching the downfall of my nation live and in color.

        But I suppose so would any who live to see such times.
