Donald Trump limo video claim sparks hilarious meme fest online

An alleged video of Donald Trump in a limo recently shared by
the January 6 committee attempted to show the former president
reportedly trying to grab the steering wheel of the vehicle to
drive to the US Capitol on the day of the January 6 attack.

The claim came to light after Trump's former White House Chief
of Staff Mark Meadows’ aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified about
the matter at a recent hearing on the January 6 attack.

January 6th Committee

Today's testimony makes clear that Trump wanted to go to the
Capitol with the armed mob, despite warnings not to do so from
his advisors.

When the Secret Service ruled out the possibility, the former
President erupted in anger in the Suburban he was riding in.

She cited a story from Tony Ornato, Assistant Director of the
U.S. Secret Service Office of Training, and claimed that Trump
allegedly wanted to go to the Capitol during the riots to
“fight” against the 2020 election results and Joe Biden’s
presidential win.

The former president then boarded the presidential limo, known
as “The Beast”, with Secret Service agent Bobby Engel, and
thought they were headed to the Capitol. Hutchinson said:

“So once the President had gotten into the vehicle with Bobby,
he thought that they were going up to the Capitol.”
However, as Engel refused to head towards the building, Trump
allegedly responded angrily:

“When Bobby had relayed to him, ‘we’re not you don’t have the
assets to do it... It’s not secure. We’re going back to the West
Wing,’ the president had a very strong, very angry response to
that. Tony described him as being irate.”

Funny shit at the link.

I prefer anal injections.
Though she was not in the SUV at the time, she said she heard
the account from Tony Ornato, a senior Secret Service official
who was at the time White House deputy chief of staff for
operations, when everyone was back at the White House. Also in
the room was Bobby Engel, the head of Trump's security detail
who was in the SUV with Trump and, according to Hutchinson, did
not speak up to dispute any of Ornato's account.

I heard Cassidy Hutchinson's neighbor say, "...Cassidy sucks off
the postman, trashman, gas meter reader, water meter reader,
electric meter reader and the Amazon delivery guys...".

I believe the neighbor. Neighbors don't lie.

All you biking assholes who put cars on road diets thought you'd get away with it.
Fuck you. Laws apply to everyone including you bastards.
It seems reports that the “bicycle crackdown” ended were
premature.

Enforcement targeting bike riders along the popular east-west
cycle route “The Wiggle” are back in force, bicyclists tell the
San Francisco Examiner.

Morgan Fitzgibbons, a cyclist and member of The City’s
Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, said he’s seen enforcement
return. “It’s been almost weekly,” Fitzgibbons said.

Targeting cyclists with tickets was a renewed effort from the
summer, when Park Station Capt. John Sanford controversially
started a “crackdown” on cyclists who roll through stop signs or
run red lights began along the Panhandle.

Soon after, Supervisor John Avalos proposed a “bike yield law,”
that would make ticketing cyclists who roll through stop signs
safely a low enforcement priority for police. That law will be
reviewed in a Board of Supervisors committee next week.

When Sanford announced the end of the enforcement action in
August he told the community “we can revisit it at any time.”

At a police commission meeting Wednesday night, Sanford verified
the bike enforcement’s back. “It’s exactly what I said to the
community,” he said, “that we could resume enforcement at any
time.”

Bike advocates claim the enforcement actions target cyclists who
pose no physical danger to pedestrians or themselves. One of
those cyclists is Katrina Sostek.

Sostek said she was ticketed for rolling through a stop sign at
Church and Duboce streets Nov. 30, but was traveling slowly and
safely. She showed a photo of her ticket to the Examiner. The
officer wrote her speed was less than five miles per hour. “I
wasn’t endangering anyone,” she said. “I slowed down, looked
both ways, and went through the intersection cautiously.”

Sanford said he will task his officers with ticketing cyclists
when Park Station receives complaints of unsafe cyclists. He
also said only 1 percent of all traffic enforcement in The City
is of cyclists. According to the San Francisco Municipal
Transportation Agency, bicycling represents 4 percent of all
private trips locally.

Chris Cassidy, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition spokesperson,
said the San Francisco Police Department should focus
enforcement on autos, as they’re the source of the most
dangerous collisions.

Fitzgibbons favors SFPD bringing enforcement levels in line with
the number of cycling trips in The City, with a caveat.

“Please, only [ticket] the ones who are being dangerous on the
road,” he said, “Do not waste your time ticketing people being
perfectly safe.”

All you biking assholes who put cars on road diets thought you'd get away with it.
Fuck you. Laws apply to everyone including you bastards.
A plan to allow San Francisco’s bicyclists to roll through stop
signs is expected to roll out of a Board of Supervisors
committee today — although the more important issue is how many
supervisors will vote for it next week.

Supervisor John Avalos said Friday he expects his proposed bike
yield legislation to come out of the board’s Land Use and
Economic Committee today, after a public hearing on the
proposal. That would place it in the hands of the full board for
a vote on Dec. 15.

While Avalos has six votes, he knows he needs eight for it to
become law since Mayor Ed Lee has previously stated he would
veto the legislation. The mayor has not changed his position as
of Friday.

To get to eight votes Avalos would need the support of
Supervisor Malia Cohen, who also chairs the committee. “Malia’s
position may give an indication of the Board of Supervisors
vote, whether we can get to a veto-proof eight,” Avalos said.

It takes eight of the possible 11 votes to override a mayoral
veto. Cohen said Friday via text message she was “undecided on
bike yield.”

The genesis for the proposal happened when bicyclists became
incensed this summer over Park Station Capt. John Sanford’s
proactive ticketing of cyclists rolling through stop signs along
the Panhandle.

That prompted a reexamination of the rationale of existing bike
laws. Avalos proposed his legislation modeled after a similar
existing law in Idaho.

The proposal would make citing bicyclists for not coming to
complete stops at stop signs the lowest enforcement priority.
Supporters say it will improve traffic flow, encourage more
bicycling and free up law enforcement resources for better use.
Bicyclists would have to slow to a safe speed and yield the
right-of-way to any other vehicle or pedestrian in the
intersection.

The Mayor’s Disability Council voted to oppose the legislation.
In a Nov. 24 letter to the board, council co-chairs Chip
Supanich and Denise Senhaux said the goals of the legislation
“come at a high cost for seniors, people with disabilities and
other pedestrians.”

“As it is today, some bicyclists consistently run red lights and
fail to stop while pedestrians are in the intersection with the
right of way,” the letter said. “Giving bicyclists’ permission
to use their best judgment rather than following clear traffic
laws would only make matters worse.”

But Avalos argues his proposal “spells out what is expected of
cyclists — that they must consciously give the right of way.” He
added the proposal “focuses traffic enforcement on those who use
our streets dangerously, including cyclists who put pedestrians
in harm’s way by not yielding.”

Super Bowl 50

The committee will also hold a hearing Monday about the planning
for Super Bowl 50. The planning has been a bit of a public
relations mess for The City, as many people have said they are
unclear about what those plans are.

In August, the mayor made remarks about kicking the homeless out
for the event. There were reports about having to take down Muni
overhead wires to accommodate the event, but that has since been
scrapped amid a backlash over the idea. There are also concerns
about whether taxpayers will have to foot the bill for impacts
to Muni service.

On Tuesday, one of the Board of Supervisors most important votes
is scheduled: Whether to reject an appeal for the environmental
impact report for the Warrior’s arena.

The board may look a little different Tuesday, as District 3
Supervisor-elect Aaron Peskin could begin his term. Mayor Ed Lee
has 10 days from Dec. 1 to sign the certified election results.
Peskin, who is vacationing in Nepal, is expected to arrive at
the San Francisco International Airport on Tuesday morning.

If Lee moves forward on certifying the election results by
Tuesday, Peskin will be sworn into the post that day. As of
Friday, the mayor had not signed them.

All you biking assholes who put cars on road diets thought you'd get away with it.
Fuck you. Laws apply to everyone including you bastards.
Supervisor Malia Cohen voted Monday against legislation that
would allow bicycles to roll through stop signs in The City,
likely dooming the proposal.

Supervisor John Avalos, who proposed the law, had suggested
Cohen was an instrumental vote to ensure Mayor Ed Lee could not
succeed in vetoing the bill. The mayor has already said he
would, and it takes eight of the Board’s 11 votes to override a
veto.

Supervisor Scott Wiener and Avalos voted to support the
legislation at Monday’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors Land
Use and Economic Development Committee, which is chaired by
Cohen. The full board is scheduled to vote on the item Dec. 15.

“I have real concerns about this ordinance,” Cohen said before
taking her vote. “I am concerned that will it confuse the issue
and create even greater misunderstanding between cyclists,
drivers and pedestrians.”

She added that the law would “come at a high cost to
pedestrians, disabled and seniors, so I will not be supporting
this ordinance today.”

Avalos’ proposal is a nod to a similar law in the state of
Idaho, which allows bicyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield
sign, if there are no cars or bikes in the vicinity.

Cohen’s criticism of the proposal echoed the position recently
taken by the Mayor’s Disability Council.

Supporters of the legislation say police should focus resources
on more dangerous behavior than bicyclists who roll through
stops signs. Rolling through stop signs would also improve
traffic flow and encourage more bicycling, supporters say.

Under the proposal, bicyclists would have to slow to a safe
speed of under six miles per hour and yield the right-­of­-way
to any other vehicle or pedestrian in the intersection.

The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition strongly supports the
measure, while Police Chief Greg Suhr opposes it.

Board President London Breed is one of the six supervisors who
supports the proposal. “I think he’s wrong,” Breed said in
reference to the mayor’s plan to veto the bill. “This is
something that we need to do.”

The proposal was introduced when bicyclists were targeted over
the summer by Park Station Capt. John Sanford, who increased
ticketing cyclists rolling through stop signs along the
Panhandle.

Cohen said she “would be interested” in a pilot program “in one
of the most highly trafficked bike corridors.”
