What are the solutions to this? I don't believe there are. In fact, I think this is going to get even worse with these armed "militias" - i.e. Domestic Terrorists - and their mentally ill armed-to-the-hilt followers. I think when Biden becomes President, he can display is macho bona fides by absolutely crushing alt-right domestic terrorism with the same zeal and focus that we used on Al-Qaeda and ISIS. If these American traitors die, so be it. They need to be eradicated one way or another because they are feeling to free to go about spewing their hate and perpetrating their violence.


The FBI is going to be very busy under Biden. Look, I'm not a fan of the surveillance state, but if it exists I do wish for leaders who will use it as much as possible to stop these domestic terrorists. I expect lots of Trumpers to get wire tapped and arrested for sedition.

Of course, they'll say they are victims of the derp state, but they are stupid and never understood why non-partisans can exist in federal agencies who are performing their sworn duties regardless of which party is in office. So if these guys want to claim it is the derp state that popped them then let em yak all the way to their prison cells.

These gun toting lunatics are locked and loaded and some of them are going to start pulling the trigger. We need to set an example and give anyone who commits domestic terrorism lengthy jail sentences to deter any more of this insane BS.



If they do their jobs and look for damning evidence, they will find piles of it. One problem is that many of these groups have local law enforcement officers for members just like that dopey county Sheriff in Michigan who is connected to the terrorists that sought to take over the Michigan State House and hold the Governor at gun point. Why shouldn’t they all just be mowed down?


This can be a major silver lining for police reform efforts. If the FBI and other federal agencies do pop prominent police officials for militia activities it can really push the issue of white nationalists populating police departments to front and center. It also allows them to clean up some of those police depts. indirectly, but effectively. I suspect there are boatloads of incriminating data on these racist cops waiting to drop if our federal agencies have their mandate to get it done.

According to Trump supporters, you should legally be able to murder people who protest in the middle of roads

Maybe these people are just blocking roads the white way, I mean right way, sorry.


These kinds of actions can become indirect forms of homicide when they obstruct an ambulance or a vehicle carrying a person with a medical crisis to the hospital. There is no conscience to any of this behavior. These are pure and simple thug-style tail-gating parties

"Pennsylvania has not bumped up to a 7- or 8-point Biden lead like we see in Michigan and Wisconsin. It's 5 points. It's not a big early voting state, so a lot of votes have not yet been cast in Pennsylvania," Silver said."Among the votes that were sent in by mail, there are some provisions about a naked ballot, a security envelope. That could make things more complicated. You could have the courts involved. You have some protests, looting in Philadelphia. There's lots of stuff going on.""Maybe a lot of little things add up and Biden loses Pennsylvania by half a point, and then he doesn't quite pull off Arizona or North Carolina. He does have other options. ...

Good news from the Texas Supreme Court:

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/11/01/us/trump-biden-election#texas-top-court-denies-a-gop-push-to-throw-out-over-120000-votes-a-federal-case-is-pending

The Texas Supreme Court denied an effort by Republicans to throw out more than 120,000 votes that had already been cast at drive-through locations in Harris County, leaving Republicans’ only remaining option at the federal level.

The ruling from the court came without comment.

The effort to get rid of the votes from largely Democratic Harris County now hinges on a nearly identical effort at the federal level, where a judge has called an election-eve hearing for Monday.

The lawsuit contends that the 10 drive-through voting sites in Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city, are operating illegally and are arranged in locations that favor Democrats.

The system was put in place for the first time this year by Chris Hollins, the Harris County clerk, with unanimous approval by county commissioners, after being tested in a pilot program over the summer.

More than 127,000 voters have cast ballots at the sites and the number could grow to more than 135,000 through Election Day on Tuesday, said Susan Hays, a lawyer for Harris County. She said county officials planned to vigorously challenge the suit, which she described as an act of “voter suppression.”

“It’s nuts,” she said. “Votes should count.”

Democrats were hopeful on Sunday that the decision from the Texas Supreme Court, which leans conservative, would bode well for their battle at the federal level.

The case will be heard Monday morning by Judge Andrew S. Hanen of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas who was appointed by President George W. Bush.

In a motion on Friday asking to intervene in the case, Democrats said it threatened to “throw Texas’ election into chaos by invalidating the votes of more than 100,000 eligible Texas voters who cast their ballots” at the drive-through sites. The motion was filed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the campaign of M.J. Hegar, who is running for the U.S. Senate.

The plaintiffs, who include State Representative Steve Toth and the conservative activist Steve Hotze, argue that drive-through voting “is a violation of state and federal law and must be stopped.”

In a telephone interview on Saturday, Mr. Toth said that only the legislature had the authority to implement a drive-though voting system. He also said the arrangement of the sites was tilted toward Democratic voters, noting that Mr. Hollins is vice chairman of finance for the Texas Democratic Party.

“If Hollins is really concerned that everybody is accurately represented, why is it that nine of the 10 are set up in predominantly Democratic areas?” said Mr. Toth, who represents part of neighboring Montgomery County.

He denied that the lawsuit was aimed at blunting Democratic momentum amid record rates of early voting in Houston and other strongly Democratic areas in the last days before the election.

“We’re not the ones who are disenfranchising anybody,” he said. “This is Hollins who did this.”

In a statement on Twitter on Saturday, Mr. Hollins said drive-through voting “is a safe, secure and convenient way to vote. Texas Election Code allows it, the Secretary of State approved it, and 127,000 voters from all walks of life have used it.”

He said his office was “committed to counting every vote cast by registered voters in this election,” and that voters would be notified if court proceedings required them to take any additional steps.

I have no idea what you mean. What is a Hillary voter?

Someone who voted for Hillary in 2016. People were concerned that the democrat vote in this county would be cannibalized by early voting and then overwhelmed by GOP voters. If turnout at least matches 2016, then there are about 300,000 democrat votes left in that county. That’s without factoring the votes from this weekend. Just saying to watch this margin and see if it grows on the 3rd.

Trump changes election night plans, cancels party at Trump International: report
BY CELINE CASTRONUOVO - 10/30/20 08:24 AM EDT 3,254

President Trump has reportedly called off plans to host an election night event at Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., a person familiar with the plans told The New York Times.

The source told the Times that Trump will instead likely remain at the White House on Nov. 3.

The president's son Eric Trump in an interview on Fox News later on Friday morning said the party may be moved.

"We're thinking about moving it, actually, over to the White House. we are looking at that right now. it's going to be a great night," said Eric Trump.

The Trump campaign last weekend sent fundraiser emails to donors announcing a drawing that would give one winner, along with a guest, the chance to be flown to the nation’s capital, where they would stay for free and attend the Nov. 3 party at Trump International as VIPs.

“November 3rd will go down in history as the night we won FOUR MORE YEARS,” the email read. “It will be absolutely EPIC, and the only thing that could make it better is having YOU there.”

At a press conference Monday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) said she was not aware at the time of party preparations at Trump International, which Washingtonian reported is sold out for election night.

D.C.’s coronavirus regulations currently restrict events to a maximum capacity of 50 people, including all attendees and staff.

Trump is trailing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in national polls, although the race is much closer in several key battleground states.

There was another Antifa attack on Trump supporters yesterday in Beverly Hills. Today there is this...

Look Wingo the left is chock full of the type of people you claim to hate.. fascist totalitarians who want to rule by violence and with total control. Hell you said it yourself bucko.

Well let's see how that turns out fer ya.

But your precious "reputable" news sources most likely dont cover this news at all so you come in here completely unaware. Like there's no reason at all for people to be suddenly pushing back. Well lmfao.

LOL, ok. But you had another post I can't let slide. Obviously its above this one.

From the beginning of the last election cycle till now people in the right have been dehumanized and that never ends well and we know it. When we win this election with all the MSM and social media companies amassed against us in a non-stop campaign of hate, derision and censroship you should know why...

We are fighting for our lives and we know it.

Just look at these pages, what you just said. It's all the motivation we need.

It's not a big early voting state, so a lot of votes have not yet been cast in Pennsylvania," Silver said."Among the votes that were sent in by mail, there are some provisions about a naked ballot, a security envelope. That could make things more complicated. You could have the courts involved. You have some protests, looting in Philadelphia. There's lots of stuff going on.""Maybe a lot of little things add up and Biden loses Pennsylvania by half a point, and then he doesn't quite pull off Arizona or North Carolina. He does have other options. ... But still, without Pennsylvania, then Biden becomes an underdog."



Silver is such a pussy. What happened to Biden having a 90% chance of winning?

P.S. See? You posted a reasonable comment with evidentiary support from a reputable news source. Well done!


Biden’s still has a probability of winning at 90%. But remember probability is not predictive and doesn’t account for something like election fraud, a Comey letter a week before the election or a tornado. Read this and chill out. Nate’s not being a pussy as much as just following what the model probability based on a Trump win in Pennsylvania.

And read this article.

So here’s a question we can ask with our nifty scenario generator. Is Pennsylvania a must-win for Biden?

No, not quite. It is close to being a must-win for Trump, who has only a 2 percent chance of winning the Electoral College if he loses Pennsylvania. Biden, however, has a bit more margin for error. He’d have a 30 percent chance if he lost Pennsylvania, which isn’t great but is also higher than, say, Trump’s overall chances on Election Day 2016.


Let me ask you who would you rather be now Biden or Trump? And who if you remove the names and just showed a 10 point lead who would you think is in the better position come Election Day? If Trump was ahead nationally or had 90% chance of winning we’d have Trump supporters gloating that it’s over. Tell me how well the polls did in 2018?
