On second thought, Minnesota doesn't need to 'protect election polls' from 'the antifas'
Tuesday, October 27, 2020 by Hannah Jones in News
"I’m holding Atlas Aegis to account for their misstatements about recruiting security
for polling places in Minnesota that potentially frightened Minnesota voters,”
Ellison said in a statement. “They won’t be doing it again and will not be anywhere
in Minnesota before, during, or after Election Day.”.

"...the rally he held in Minnesota Friday night was smaller than usual because of state limits
on gatherings. The president publicly blasted those state officials for limiting the crowd at
his rally to only 250 people."
Trump appears very tired at this rally in MN, slowly moving through his prepared remarks.

Trump continues to say that Minnesota should have activated the National Guard
two weeks before it did during this spring's violence, which would have meant
activating the Guard a week and a half before George Floyd was killed.

One of the local union headquarters is hosting the giant Trump Baby this weekend, so we went out to get our pictures taken with it.
I try to see a few candidates every election cycle, but the only one we got to see before campaigning ended was Beto O'Rourke last September. But this was an acceptable substitute.

Trump rally in MN set up for social distancing as required by state officials.
But still a big crowd outside venue not doing much distancing.
22 hours ago
CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta posted video that featured
supporters of President Donald Trump moving their chairs closer together before
Trump’s first-ever socially-distanced rally — as NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” blared
over the PA system.
Acosta wrote.
“Rally hasn’t started but some in crowd began to move their chairs together
and then were asked to put them back the way they were.”
Acosta also posted photos that included Trump bypassing the socially-distanced-ish
supporters to head for the overflow crowd.
Trump just got in motorcade. Appears to be heading to overflow crowd gathered
outside event where they are not doing social distancing. The folks who are social
distancing inside the venue don’t know what’s happening.

Trump has literally and figuratively left Americans out in the cold
Trump has left us a poorer, sicker and angrier nation than when he moved into the White
House in 2017. He has filled his coffers but left us all out in the cold.

'...when he (Trump) himself became ill, he made sure he was treated in a state-of-the-art
fashion, including receiving an experimental drug cocktail and remdesivir. Good luck on
getting ahold of it if you get sick. It’s not approved for general use. Unlike the president,
you’re out in the cold."

Thousands were bussed into the rally site in Rome, Georgia
Sorry, no busses to return you to your car
Narrow road, too much traffic
Some of the folks left stranded were older and disabled
“Some of the folks left stranded were older and disabled. Multiple people tried to hitch rides
from strangers amid the pandemic,” tweeted Julie Tsirkin from NBC News, who was at the
scene. She added that the only route in and out of the event location was a single, narrow
road.
Single narrow road to get in and out of the rally site was shared by pedestrians, cars,
busses, emergency vehicles.

Trump changed his election night celebration- He planned to have it at his DC hotel.
Why did Trump change his mind ?
Trump is staging his very own OccupyWhiteHouse to protest the real vote count.
The government will not pay to barricade his hotel, or provide Marines and soldiers
to guard his private property, and weapons But, Trump can get everything he needs,
while he remains a Presiderp-

The White House on lockdown: A federal law enforcement source tells NBC that beginning
tomorrow, crews will build a “non-scalable” fence to secure the WH complex, Ellipse and

Trump Is Barricading Himself Behind a Massive 'Non-Scalable' Fence on Election Day

Who is paying for that fence ? The city of the District of Columbia. The DC Police
Department bought the fence, along with anti-riot weapons and supplies- tear gas,
“less-lethal” munitions" that can take out an eye, crack a skull, break an arm.
Strange, that the DC Police Department kills a victim, using an unmarked SUV,
and intensifies BLM protests- DC police are on the streets using tear gas and
flash bang bombs.

400 attendees at the WH results viewing party. Exceeds DC's gatherings limit, but WH is on Federal land, so...........
.........hence also why it's masks-optional.

How long did it take to count the ballots when the results were carried by messenger on a horse?

God there are a lot of stupid people in this country.
He should only be getting ten percent of the vote.
He should only be getting ten percent of the vote.
Politico's Tim Elliott lays the story out- We have been here, before.
America Is Eerily Retracing Rome’s Steps to a Fall. Will It Turn Around Before It’s Too Late?
Two thousand years ago, the famous Republic had a chance to reject a dangerous populist.
It failed, and the rest is history.

bodysong comment-
Are there protests against what Tim Elliot has written ?
Potential cries against the argument-
Civilization has advanced! We have advanced eletronic technology!
Strangely, much that has new potential benefit has been used to advance evils.

Lots of peaceful protester were arrested across the country last night. I’m not sure if the people trying to force their way into various counties that are still counting votes can be considered peaceful.
