    Indiana put us through hell before we could vote. I had to show three IDs with photos so I provided my Indiana driver license, my US Passport, and my Colorado state University id card. The woman said, "this looks like a much younger man. I can't let you vote."

    Yeah, I don’t know what Trump is feeding them, but they’re eating all up with mustard. This is possibly his biggest con job ever in history. He’s moved from being real estate con and turned his focus on the human domain. If he can keep feeding this beast he’s created since 2016, he’ll never have to worry if his businesses fail- he’ll continue to profit from his base.
    Fools!

    Yes, it's true. My sister was rejected at first because the woman took her US Passport and opened it to the page where Saudi Arabia or UAE had stamped it and wrote things in Arabic. The woman then looked up and said, "It would help if you bring one in English." My sister then spent ten minutes trying to educate these midwestern idiots about how a passport worked during travel. The front cover did indicated UNITED STATES in big letters. The time before that they had six machines to serve about six thousand people who lined up outside in the cold. It was clear they wanted to defeat the voter's desire to vote by making it as uncomfortable as possible. The wait in line was hours and with no rest rooms about in that parking lot.

    Authorities arrest Oath Keeper seen with Trump adviser Roger Stone on morning of insurrection

    excerpt:

    "A New York man with ties to the Oath Keepers militia group and former President Donald Trump's longtime adviser Roger Stone has been arrested and charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

    Roberto Minuta, of Newburgh, New York, was seen in a video first unearthed by ABC News flanking Roger Stone on the morning of Jan. 6 outside a Washington, D.C., hotel.

    In the video, Minuta can be seen standing with Stone wearing a baseball hat and military-style vest branded with the Oath Keeper logo.

    Minuta, who was spotted on video later that day in the gathering crowd approaching the Capitol, has been charged with obstruction of Congress and unlawful entry.

    "Minuta and others affiliated with the Oath Keepers breached the U.S. Capitol grounds, where Minuta aggressively berated and taunted U.S. Capitol police officers responsible for protecting the Capitol and the representatives inside of the Capitol," according to charging documents."

    An article from December 2015 about how Trump was radicalizing his followers.

    It essentially predicted incidents like the 2017 Charlottesville attack.

    The ultimate incident was the Capitol riot five years later with Trump as the grand poobah.


    Donald Trump is radicalizing his followers: Terrorism expert explains how Trump is marching Americans towards extremism
    Maajid Nawaz says Trump's supporters may "end up joining fascist or far-right groups" if The Donald doesn't deliver

    Donald Trump is radicalizing his followers: Terrorism expert explains how Trump is marching Americans towards extremism

    excerpt:

    "On CNN's "New Day," terrorism expert Maajid Nawaz explained how Trump's extreme xenophobia, like rhetoric espoused by racist groups and terror groups, serves to radicalize supporters.

    "When you pump people up and promise them all forms of dreams and utopian visions and populist aims, but you can't deliver on those, people become very frustrated and take action into their own hands," Nawaz said on Tuesday."

    The article from 2015 could have be dismissed by some at the time as being alarmist rhetoric, but the concerns it raised were factual.

    Trump himself acted as the grand poobah on riot day and encouraged his followers to fight like hell. He neglected to stop the violence hours into the riot when he knew it was happening.

    A week after the riot when he was being impeached, he issued a belated statement saying he condemned violence and vandalism.

    Graham is like an alcoholic who wakes up in the morning after getting plastered and says, "I'll never drink again" only to return to it all over again.

    Just after the Capitol riot, Graham said "Count me out."

    Now Graham says he wants to tap what he calls Trump's 'magic' but in a way that he thinks won't cause more incidents like the Capitol riot.


    Lindsey Graham said ‘Count me out’ after the Capitol riot. But he’s all in with Trump again.

    excerpt:

    "Hours after a violent mob ransacked the Capitol last month in support of President Donald Trump, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham vowed he had seen enough.

    “Count me out,” Graham (R-S.C.) said in an impassioned speech on the Senate floor, adding that he was sad to see his journey with Trump end this way. In an interview two days later, Graham said “he’d never been so humiliated and embarrassed for the country” and spoke in palpable frustration over how his longtime ally handled the riot.

    Just weeks later, he is singing a different tune. Graham is set to visit the former president’s gilded Mar-a-Lago Club on Sunday to spend two days golfing and dining with Trump. He has spoken to the former president nearly daily since Jan. 6 — more frequently than any of his Republican colleagues in the Senate — and served as an informal adviser to Trump’s defense team during his Senate impeachment trial this month."

    Trump not only turned his followers against Muslims, he turned them against fellow Americans, including his own Vice President, members of Congress, and those in his own party who he deemed insufficiently loyal to him.

    Post-presidency, he has embarked on a revenge campaign for years to come.

    Camerota's concern in 2015 about Americans joining far-right groups turned out to be factual, as numerous Trump followers joined shadowy groups such as QAnon, Oath Keepers, and Three Percenters. They became carried away in the angry euphoria that Trump had generated.



    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...8afc0a-72ca-11eb-a4eb-44012a612cf9_story.html

    excerpt:

    "Nawaz told host Alisyn Camerota that after observing and studying radical Islamist groups and extremism for years, he now worries that Trump's "followers, when he doesn't deliver what he's promised them, end up joining fascist or far-right groups and taking matters into their own hands against the eight million Muslims in the United States and we end up with an extremely polarized discourse and it's very bad for social cohesion.""

    I heard that Trump is now pushing something called Save America – to replace - Make America Great Again – well the latter was turned into MAGA so presumably so will Save America – SA

    Here is the definition of SA given at Britannica.com

    SA
    Nazi organization

    SA, abbreviation of Sturmabteilung (German: “Assault Division”), byname Storm Troopers or Brownshirts, German Sturmtruppen or Braunhemden, in the German Nazi Party, a paramilitary organization whose methods of violent intimidation played a key role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power.

    He also has a Save America PAC... SAP.

    Which is basically what I would call anybody donating to this political action committee... a sap.

    That parking lot I mentioned is at Georgetown Plaza on East State. You know the place. We had to vote at the library there. You know that place.
