Coffee and popcorn sound swell. I’ll bring the brandy. It’s cold out there.

I have to wonder if they counted the early votes and determine Trump will win no matter what Tuesday.

Trump needs to issue executive orders providing protection to any patriots defending property or people against leftist insurgents.

We are in a civil war already. It will become obvious once the leftists refuse to accept the results of the election.

Biden's early vote lead is not enough & they know it.

Dems plan to call @realDonaldTrump's Election Day surge a "Red Mirage" to delegitimize his wave of support.

They'll try to create a smoke screen post-Election Day, even running TV ads to cast doubt on Nov. 3 vote.

From the article:

Reports last week indicated up to 1,000 Texas National Guard troops would be deployed to five different Texas cities, but Maj. Gen. Tracy Norris, the adjutant general of the Texas Army National Guard, said there are no plans to send guard troops to polling locations.

“The Texas National Guard continues to support [The Texas Department of Public Safety] guarding historical landmarks such as the Alamo and the State Capitol,” Norris said last week. “To be clear, there has been no request nor plan to provide any type of support at any polling location in Texas.”

Texas Guard spokesman Brandon Jones told the San Antonio Express-News, “We have not been asked to go to any polling locations as of yet. Now that could change, leading up to the election or after the election.”

The New York Times reported hundreds of National Guard troops in various states have also deployed for non-law enforcement roles, including to assist poll workers. In New Jersey and Wisconsin, guard troops have been called in to assist with the elections and are at the polls wearing civilian clothes, so as not to alarm voters by the site of camouflage uniformed soldiers at polling stations.

Wisconsin National Guard spokesman Maj. Joe Trovato told the New York Times, the guard troops were wearing plain clothes because “it creates a sense of normalcy.” Trovato added, “We’re not trying to alarm anyone; we are just trying to support the election.”

If the national guard has been activated the president can federalize them.

And on November 3 and onward until January 2021 Donald J Trump will still be president no matter what.

Sometimes it pays not to be so sharp you cut yourself.

It was in news a while ago that in the 2018 elections feds monitored a number of polling places and IIRC determined where a lot of fraud was. Maybe going to those places plus.

privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or

(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes

Mostly Dim jurisdictions with lots of illegals. That could make any investigations interesting. I’m in one of those places, so I’ll keep an eye out for the G-men.

They burn down their own cities, their own neighborhoods.
Found a good explanation of whitesplaining last week. Woke snot nose brat from the suburbs goes into a black neighborhood and tells people that they are oppressed by white racism. Then snot nosed soyboy burns down black owned houses and businesses. At the end white bread soyboy tells the neighborhood that this was all for their own good.

But of course the wokes in Minnecraponus are going to say that all the mayhem was done by the Trump supporters. Mayhem and fires by the woke lefties.
