    I do find it odd no sitting president has before. I get the Super Bowl is relatively new, but it kinda shocks me no other president has.

    I guess when you’re trying to prove you’re not Hitler 2 you gotta look good for the people you’re going to send to jail.

      A quick search shows on average box at the Superbowl costs between $750,000-$2 million.

      The President makes $400,000 a year.
      They can’t sit in the stands, so the reality is no president should be able to afford to go to the game.

    I can’t even express how scarred I’d be if someone murdered him…

    Please don’t, guys…

    Murder him, that is…

    No. Please. Don’t.

      I’d say that it’s probably one of the easier places, actually, because post-9/11, there’s a lot of security at the Super Bowl, whether-or-not a President is there. Like, they already have overhead marksmen and airspace restrictions and stuff, which is the sort of stuff that you’d put on the President at an event.

      I believe that the Super Bowl is considered to be a potential target because of its high visibility.

      IIRC, even before that, Tom Clancy had one of his books involve terrorists blowing up the Super Bowl with a small nuclear weapon.

      Yeah, The Sum of All Fears.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sum_of_All_Fears

      The terrorists’ plan is to detonate the weapon at the Super Bowl in Denver while simultaneously staging a false flag attack on U.S. military forces in stationed in Berlin by East Germans disguised as Soviet soldiers.

        And keep in mind if someone as prominent as Taylor Swift might be there Trump can sort of ride her coat tails security-wise.

          Hang on do you actually think that Taylor Swifts security detail is better than the fuckin secret service??

              Yes… Because a generally liked pop singer and a highly controversial world leader have the same likelihood for being assassinated.

                If you don’t think Taylor Swift is under absolutely constant threat of assault and kidnapping then I have an incel in Brooklyn to sell you.

                  … I never said she wasn’t? I simply find it comical that you think a pop star has a better security detail than the sitting president of the United States lol.

                  Ok so that’s 1 for assassinated pop stars… And a couple hundred assassinated world leaders. Or 4 presidents if you wanna limit yourself to just the US and it’s relatively short history.

      I’ve been in NOLA for the Superbowl all week (I get to leave Friday) this place is locked down as tightly as DC was during the 2020 elections.

        There was this golden opportunity at the inauguration to get the three biggest billionaire assholes in the world (plus Cook and Pichai) along with Trump and Vance and… for some reason nobody took them up on the offer.

        My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day was ruined.

      The Superdome holds ~75,000 plus staff.

      I wonder how many innocents will be killed by multi-bigoted, fascist, patriarchal oligarchs working to make the orphan-shredding machine run on pure-white mandatory babies?
