President Donald Trump will attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday. He'll be the first sitting president to do so.

Just so everyone knows where he is more precisely. Wouldn’t want him to get lost.

Over/under on whether there will be clashes in the parking lot?

    That’s a whole lot of people to screen.

    And a whole lot of stadium to fill with secret service.

    And a whole lot of president to protect.

      I went to a Harris rally last year. There were at least two seating areas: one closer up that I’m sure you had to have some prescreening for and go through some greater security screening at the event, and another for “general admission” where the entirety of the screening was:

      • Enter your personal information into this website (which may have just been for future fundraising contact info)
      • Empty pockets, bag check, metal detector on the way in

      Nobody asked for ID, and I guarantee there are creative ways to have gotten some kind of chaos-creating contraband in. And that was for a much smaller venue.

      They might have some extra screening in seating sections within some closer range, but I still wouldn’t expect that screening to be especially competent.

        I’m currently in New Orleans for the Superbowl and this shit is LOCKED DOWN. They have every police and National Guard along with ATF and others on every corner. Just saying they ain’t putting up with any shenanigans here and this was before orange shithead said he’s coming.
