But, really, what have we become? It's difficult to wrap your head around just how goddamn out of control people are. There needs to be a reckoning. And I think once, we get through the next few weeks, it's going to come. Peace

But I'd be so proud of her if she was. These people are so brave.

At least the FBI is protecting them.

...the fbi is only suggesting ways for them to protect themselves.

....about stopping this kind of thing in it's tracks.

Over the past 8 years that trumpers have watched this type of thing go unprosecuted and become normalized and basically safe to do, they are only getting bolder and more hateful.

The DOJ really has been seemingly absent for 4 years. It's one of things that has made me more and more nervous.

Looks like this is only on Twitter, so could be false information.

....about all these terrorists (that's what it is) being arrested or prosecuted.

Maybe that might make people think twice about doing this kind of thing, don't ya think garland?

....garland?


....oh, gaaarrrrland? Are you there?

HORK!... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

No one picked up that I had sleep apnea until 1998 a decade and a half later. Girlfriend said I turned cyanotic and she was pounding on my chest to wake me. Got a study and I've slept much better since.

I have a ResMed AirSense 10 and use nasal pillows, not a mask. Been reliable and no recalls like Phillips. I won't even consider Phillips when I comes time to replace it after 5 years.

I have ResMed too but time for an upgrade.

But I hate CPAP. Only use it when I notice I'm getting more bonkers.

Some people here might say that explains a lot. Hey, I can laugh at myself at least.

When the did my home test they found out I was having 60 incidents a night. Just had my yearly check in 3 weeks ago. Down to like a half incident a night. I pop out of it much quicker.

I still resent not knowing for that long...who knows the health problems that caused me.

as at March 2024 there had been 20 arrests and prison sentences up to 3 1/2 years, and no doubt more since then.

Reported by WaPo.

Next he'll be arresting steven miller for jaywalking!

We're safe!

(Thank goodness for Marc Elias and the American Bar Association Election Task Force.)

you cannot even concede that it is actually happening when you are writing a post saying it was not happening at all.

...the complete lack of any meaningful action by the doj to stop and deter the most dangerous threats our nation has ever faced.

(Again, thank goodness for the pro-bono, volunteer civilian attorneys doing the work our exalted Attorney General should be doing.)

to be fact checkers, like we do for republicans. If you are tempted to blurt out your opinions do some research first, it helps keep this site a place where people can come for truth not someone's alternative facts.

...my post clearly says I haven't seen many reports, there doesn't need to be any fact-checking, because I haven't seen many reports.

Your lie that I stated there were NO arrests is just that, a lie.

Thank you for your input.

Maybe "think again".

especially when it comes to Garland.

...there were no arrests when what I clearly said was that I haven't seen many reports of arrests (it's right there in reply #3 for all to see).

And now you're doublng down on that lie.

Stupid is eternal. Sucks, but there ya go.

Now they are the mainstream of the party

He focused it and poured gasoline on it, but the underpinnings of Trumpism were baked into the Republican party for quite a few years before Trump came down the escalator and entered politics. This is why it's important for voters to understand that keeping Republicans out of power at all levels of government is the best way forward.

================

some mental health intervention. They are full of hate.

It takes an open mind to want to receive counseling.

Don Jr doesnt have "IT" & neither does Vance.
The MAGA base will splinter with MANY conmen trying to take the mantle

Trinity Broadcasting on steroids?

I've been in a position where I had my life threatened and received hate mail. It's scary. Your daughter is an exceptional woman. Give her a hug and thank her for all of us. I continue to pray and send good thoughts to her and all election workers.

If this were true there would be corroboration by now by our more trustworthy media.
Gov Whitmer or her SoS would at least acknowledge such a serious problem.
Just my opinion, but I will consider tweets by unknowns that instill fear in general, and fear about violence, to be disinformation.

News outlets would be all over this, the top ladies in charge in Michigan are smart, tough and a great asset to our state. Governor Whitmer, SOS Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel. I have not seen a mention of this anywhere but this post on X.

Cut and paste with no reference or forwarded crazy stories with no reference. My dad was RW so, there were emails about the "terror of Obamacare".

So an elected official in a large county was forced to shut down their social media or change their name by the FBI? County Clerks are elected and visible.

Has the FBI ever told an elected official to shut down their social media or change their name?

when the FBI processes people into the Witness Protection Program. That's it.

Maybe there was a "death staged" and we never knew about it? LOL

I don't recall any witnesses that have been elected, because they have to be in a court of law, and I can't remember if we've seen any federal court testimony by elected officials. IIRC, there might have been one in the New York case where trump was found guilty of 34 felonies.

I'm not so sure they are only domestic terrorists.

I'm sure there are Russian cells here....

They want the Latin dictatorship model of governance (but with a lot less Spanish).

But him and Pryor were okay.

spell of the KKK and christian nationalism.

But they're definitely back. Lookit she-Faubus's shenanigans and the rest - we're already back to the bad parts of the 50s. The old sundown towns like Mena...we won't travel thru them at night.

Today is Oct. 1st.

The only reason why any "FBI" would come into some facility is with a warrant (search/seizure/arrest) for an alleged crime

That "X" sounds like a pile of bullshit.

States are in charge of elections, NOT the federal government.

Since when does the FBI come in and tell an elected official to delete their social media or change their name?

Sounds fake to me!

"Where's our county clerk?"
"She disappeared"

and would like to know what county this is.

is that the judges and poll watchers and election clerks are your neighbors. These people just want to see the democratic process that has worked so long in this country continue to be a success. They get paid a pittance to put in those long hours at the polling places on election day. They should be thanked and not threatened.

Rec

be cautious.

FUCKING MAGAT TERRORISTS, and their sick, twisted, demented orange "leader", along with the ones actually pulling the strings.

Sendng vibes for sfety and pritection for all those brave people on the current frontlines of this insane battle.

Vance's guru Yarvin.

These traitorous dirtbags believe the government should have a total reboot, and be replaced by a corporate structure complete with a national CEO (dictator).

They don't give one little hoot about democracy or this republic, and instead are intent in taking us down the rabbit hole of hate and laissez-faire capitalism.

It is upsetting, particularly in the face of a) Netanyahu's expansion of the war in the Mid-East, b) the war in Ukraine, c) our media's UTTER FAILURE to report news that is not biased toward maximizing shareholder PROFITS by presenting this as a horserace, d) the ongoing sane-washing of Trump, e) the idiocy about 'undecided voters' and their mealy mouthings (see point c immediately above).

The electoral college has got to go.

before and after Nov 5. We're now in that zone, and shouldn't trust any but trusted prior sources. Especially on Elon's platform. No one should appear to or be allowed to hijack public perception and discourse on platforms from now on out. But they will on Elon's platform.

May Ohio voters get fed up and RECALL him in 2025.

For the guy directing the terror are just as responsible for all this shit.

Don't let these domestic terrorists stop you from voting or doing your job. They are stoking fear and division.

No names, county isn't identified, no other sources corroborating the story. Michigan State Police would most likely be involved and not the FBI.

Since it hasn't, I very strongly lean towards disbelieving it until confirmed by other sources.

Très important!!!

dramatically increasing the penalties for this kind of activity aimed at elections. For example right now in most states if you vandalize someone's yard signs the cops and the DA are handing out a slap on the wrist if even that. I remember one instance in Wisconsin where they had the perp on tape. It was the daughter of a local elected official. She got a visit from the cops and a lecture.

How about for things like vandalizing, intimidating, electioneering outside the polls, sending phony information meant to misinform about what day or where to vote etc. we make the mandatory penalty 3 years in jail? How about for these acts like described in the OP we make the penalty mandatory 25 years and if physical harm occurs the penalty can go to 50 years?

I know I might sound harsh but I'm done with the slap on the wrist crap for election crimes and I feel the same about internet crimes. Put up a phony web site and scam people you do 10 years mandatory.

Yes I know it will never happen and the slap on the wrist will be the normal response. It's why campaign finance violations are laughed at by the guilty parties. But maybe if it meant 5 years mandatory in jail it might have an impact. As long as we had enforcers who didn't "define away" charges.

Is there any legitimate verification of this to be found? I have no doubt that election workers feel under threat from these assholes, but I am suspicious of anonymous reports like this on Twitter. Where is the verification that this is happening? it does not help our cause to spread false information. That just makes legitimate occurrences of threat immediately suspect as nobody knows what is the truth and what is fiction

I live in Indiana, so in reality my whole state doesn't count. We don't matter one way or another which way the state goes, it doesn't effect the outcome of the election. If it was done by popular vote, my vote would matter. One vote would count the same for everyone.

I wonder if the rules will ever get changed?

millions at the ready to beat the magats.

In my area, schools are used as polling places. For the first time, the schools will be closed on Election Day, because of the threat of violence. This isn't the Third World, we don't expect that in America.
