Colorado Springs is kind of a redneck town. It is home to Focus on the Family. My cousins used to live in Colorado Springs, but they moved out. https://www.focusonthefamily.com/
I remember the compound at Hayden Lake. Tolerance does not mean letting these misfits spread violence and hate.
Trump requires food aid boxes to come with a letter from him “In my 30 years of doing this work, I've never seen something this egregious,” one food bank director said. By HELENA BOTTEMILLER EVICH 10/01/2020 04:30 AM EDT Updated: 10/01/2020 08:53 AM EDT Trump requires food aid boxes to come with a letter from him excerpt: "The Agriculture Department last week began mandating that millions of boxes of surplus food for needy families include a letter from President Donald Trump claiming credit for the program. The USDA’s $4 billion Farmers to Families Food Box Program has distributed more than 100 million boxes to those in need since May, with the aim of redirecting meat, dairy and produce that might normally go to restaurants and other food-service businesses. But organizations handing out the aid complain the program is now being used to bolster Trump’s image a month before a high-stakes election — and some even have refused to distribute them. “In my 30 years of doing this work, I've never seen something this egregious,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Food Banks. "These are federally purchased boxes.” The letter comes in both English and Spanish on White House letterhead and features Trump’s bold signature: “As President, safeguarding the health and well-being of our citizens is one of my highest priorities,” it reads. “As part of our response to coronavirus, I prioritized sending nutritious food from our farmers to families in need throughout America.”"
Trump's criteria for selecting a VP include family relation, perceived physical beauty, and nastiness at Bill and Hillary Clinton. Washington Post: Trump considered daughter Ivanka as 2016 vice presidential pick, according to book by former campaign aide - CNNPolitics Citing an upcoming book by former Trump deputy campaign chair Rick Gates, "Wicked Game," that will be published October 13, The Post reported that during discussions about selecting a running mate, then-Republican presidential candidate Trump said to a group of top campaign aides, "I think it should be Ivanka. What about Ivanka as my VP?" "She's bright, she's smart, she's beautiful, and the people would love her!," he added, according to the newspaper. The presidential candidate was so keen to the idea of Ivanka as a vice presidential pick and "cool to other options, including his eventual selection of then-Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, that his team polled the idea twice," The Washington Post reported. Ivanka told her father it was not a good idea and Trump chose Pence after the then-governor gave a "vicious and extended monologue" about former President Bill Clinton and Trump's 2016 rival Hillary Clinton at a breakfast event.
At Pentagon, Fears Grow That Trump Will Pull Military Into Election Unrest Defense Department officials said top generals could resign if Mr. Trump ordered the active-duty military into the streets to quell protests. By Jennifer Steinhauer and Helene Cooper Sept. 25, 2020 At Pentagon, Fears Grow That Trump Will Pull Military Into Election Unrest excerpt: "Slotkin and Sherrill have three concerns. First, a “Wag the Dog” moment where Donald Trump orders military action to distract the public instead of protect the country. Second, the deployment of some armed forces to intervene with the election, including stationing military members at the polls. Third, the potential that Trump will claim he is still the commander in chief come January even if the results say otherwise. These concerns may seem unusual, but they are legitimate with a White House that seems to believe the military serves as a useful tool to secure partisan ambitions. Trump raided the Pentagon budget to build a border wall that Congress opposed, withdrew soldiers meant to protect Kurdish allies and sent them to guard Syrian oil fields, threatened to deploy active duty military to our cities against the wishes of mayors, sent the National Guard to Lafayette Park to move unarmed protesters so he could stage a picture at Saint John Church, and directed the Navy to keep a destroyer hidden during a Memorial Day visit to Japan last year."
Officials in the U.S. military have been making statements that it's the job of Congress to resolve election result issues and U.S. Marshals or the Secret Service to handle the removal of Trump if he refuses to leave office after losing the election. They don't want to be involved or even give the impression that they might become involved in determining an election and removing Trump.

The important thing today is what we do to spread the word, Brother Granite. These right wing extreme Trump supporters are often on here with numbers and stats and false claims to sanitize what we say about Trump. I think we should not allow ourselves to be drawn into a pissing match about things like Trump was on top or Stormy Daniels was on top? To fight these Trump supporters we need to expose them for what they are. In today's news they are talking about Trump having side-stepped the issue of the Proud Boys. Well, he did say what he said during the debate with Biden. The important thing to me is that the White Supremacists themselves identify with Trump. They like him for a reason. In this copy of a KKK newspaper, they explain it in their own words:
Trump and his supporters will again marginalize the coronavirus surge in Wisconsin and elsewhere. Trump is using his usual distraction approach of talking about college football in the Midwest and putting his name on a letter praising himself inside every federal food aid box Wisconsin sets COVID-19 deaths record as hospitals fill up AP September 30, 2020 Wisconsin sets COVID-19 deaths record as hospitals fill up excerpt: "MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin set a new record for COVID-19 deaths on Wednesday and the surge in cases in the state threatened to overwhelm some hospitals. Health officials reported 27 new deaths, breaking the state’s old record of 22 deaths set on May 27. The disease has killed or played a role in the death of 1,327 people in the state since the pandemic began. Health officials reported 2,319 newly confirmed cases, bringing the total number of cases in Wisconsin to 122,274 since the pandemic began. Wisconsin had the third-highest positivity rate of any state as of Wednesday. Hospital officials in some areas said they were close to being overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients — a scenario that health officials have been warning could happen since the pandemic began but that only now seems like it could happen."
It's unbelievable, even his own coronavirus task force is cautioning him against holding a rally in a state in which 1 out of 5 people are testing positive for COVID-19
He is very aware of the reality of the virus. It's why he takes all the precautions. The problem is that as a sociopath he does not see other lives as valid. I guarantee his discussions with advisors were him asking "how does this effect me? What do I need to do" and never how does this hurt others. Someone with his mind can not ask such things.
Trump rally in Wisconsin canceled at the airport location due to a legal issue concerning use of the airport. Trump cancels Wisconsin rally amid surge in COVID-19 cases excerpt: "The director of the La Crosse airport said the event was canceled due to a legal issue, not concerns over the coronavirus. A political rally violated the terms of a lease with a tenant who planned to host the rally on airport property, airport director Ian Turner said. “The tenant was notified of this, disagreed with the City of La Crosse' position, but opted not to host the event,” Turner said in a statement. He did not identify who the tenant was. Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Anna Kelly did not immediately return a message seeking comment. The La Crosse rally was still listed on the president’s campaign website as of Thursday afternoon."
