That sealed it for me. I don't care if that guy is a foreign policy accident waiting to happen, anyone with that sense of humor is good enough to run this joke of a government..
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
For months, Donald Trump has stoked fears that Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators—The New York Times, Paul Ryan, Mexican billionaires, and more—will steal the election. While some political commentators have speculated that Trump’s paranoia-soaked nightmare may ultimately discourage his own supporters from voting—what’s the point if you’re outnumbered by an army of dead Democrats?—Trump’s most ardent fans appear to have been galvanized by his claims that the media, the polls, and the U.S. electoral system are all “rigged.” In response to the G.O.P. nominee’s unsubstantiated fearmongering, a slew of fringe-right, white-nationalist groups reportedly intend to deploy thousands of people to engage in ballot-box intimidation and voter suppression
Politico reports that a motley crew of alt-right and militia groups, Ku Klux Klan members, and Neo-Nazis are all planning to come out in droves on November 8 to suppress the minority vote and “monitor” the democratic process. “The possibility of violence on or around Election Day is very real,” Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center told Politico. “Donald Trump has been telling his supporters for weeks and weeks and weeks now that they are about to have the election stolen from them by evil forces on behalf of the elites.” Politico reports that the list of organizations plotting Election Day efforts includes—but is not limited to—the American Freedom Party, a white-nationalist group; various factions of the K.K.K.; the National Socialist Movement; and the vigilante militia group, the Oath Keepers.
“We are organizing poll watchers in urban areas to cut down on the most traditional type of voter fraud. We also will have stationary cameras hidden at polling locations in Philadelphia, to monitor anyone that comes in to vote and make sure that the same people are not voting at multiple locations. If we see people voting in multiple locations the footage will be submitted to the FEC as well as put out on social media to undermine the legitimacy of Clinton should she steal the election,” an anonymous representative of alt-right Web site, TheRightStuff.biz, told Politico in an e-mail, adding that some people will also be “going in to the ghettos in Philly with 40s and weed to give out to the local residents” in order to depress minority voter turnout.
Andrew Anglin, the editor of the neo-Nazi Web site Daily Stormer, who is working in conjunction with TheRightStuff.biz on Election Day efforts, told Politico in an e-mail that he is sending “an army of alt-right nationalists to watch the polls.” Similarly, former K.K.K. grand wizard David Duke, a Trump supporter and Louisiana Senate hopeful, said that he is mobilizing his supporters to monitor polling locations with a focus on “some of the more inner-city areas,” but added to Politico that the his and his supporters efforts won’t be confined to black neighborhoods, because, “It’s good to watch everywhere because there always can be major mistakes.” Under the guidance of Thomas Robb, the national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the K.K.K. will also launch efforts on a national level to get Trump voters to the polls.
The Oath Keepers, a militia group primarily consisting of former members of the military and law enforcement that rose to prominence during the Ferguson riots, will also be deploying poll-watchers on Election Day. The group issued a statement last month encouraging its members “to form up incognito intelligence-gathering and crime spotting teams and go out into public on Election Day, dressed to blend in with the public,” Politico reports.

Fringe groups aren’t the only ones heeding Trump’s call to “go around and watch other polling places.” Longtime Trump ally Roger Stone is planning to launch a widespread exit-polling operation to reportedly ensure that the results of the election are accurate. Stone, who has come under scrutiny this election, is targeting 7,000 precincts, most of which are located in Philadelphia, with others in Ohio. Hedge-fund manager Robert Mercer, one of Trump’s biggest donors, is also backing major poll-watching efforts. In September, the billionaire reportedly gave the Republican National Lawyers Association $500,000 to empower 1,000 lawyers to monitor and potentially challenge poll results across the country.
Democrats have rushed to counter what they characterize as Republican efforts to intimidate minority voters. Over the past week, Democratic officials have filed lawsuits against the Trump campaign in Ohio, Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. The Washington Post reports that the suit filed in Ohio specifically names Stone as an agitator and calls on “a federal judge to stop the Trump campaign, state party officials and a group associated with Trump supporter Roger Stone from sending people not officially appointed as poll watchers to voting locations.” The Ohio state Republican Party dismissed the lawsuit as “a publicity stunt” and added, “in no way would we ever be involved in the intimidation of voters.” Stone asserted that his operation is “not coordinating with the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee or the individual Republican state committees” and only seeks to “determine if the election is honestly and fairly conducted and to provide an evidentiary basis for a challenge to the election if that is not the case.”
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Swear you'd vote for him if he ran in this election.
Oh wait, you're already voting for his puppet.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
First off Russia is not a Communist Country. Second, he is one of our biggest adversaries so what he thinks is of importance to us. Third, you and others around here are always crying that everyone needs to travel the world to get an idea of how other cultures do things. Forth, Putin is the only adversary who actually does Press Conferences so we can listen to his thoughts. Our other adversaries just yell and pound the table. Nothing we can learn from them.
Instead of attacking me, educate yourself a bit and listen in on a Press Conference. I find it interesting.
Look at his past. Listen to his views on communism.
I don't get some of you loving these authoritarian figures. It's completely unamerican.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
JACKSON, Ga. (Reuters) - Down a Georgia country road, camouflaged members of the Three Percent Security Force have mobilized for rifle practice, hand-to-hand combat training -- and an impromptu campaign rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
"How many people are voting for Trump? Ooh-rah!" asks Chris Hill, a paralegal who goes by the code name "Bloodagent."
"Ooh-rah!" shout a dozen militia members in response, as morning sunlight sifted through the trees last weekend.
As the most divisive presidential election in recent memory nears its conclusion, some armed militia groups are preparing for the possibility of a stolen election on Nov. 8 and civil unrest in the days following a victory by Democrat Hillary Clinton.
They say they won't fire the first shot, but they're not planning to leave their guns at home, either.
Trump's populist campaign has energized militia members like Hill, who admire the Republican mogul's promise to deport illegal immigrants, stop Muslims from entering the country and build a wall along the Mexico border. Trump has repeatedly warned that the election may be "rigged," and has said he may not respect the results if he does not win. At least one paramilitary group, the Oath Keepers, has called on members to monitor voting sites for signs of fraud
Armed paramilitary groups first gained prominence in the early 1990s, fueled by confrontations in Ruby Ridge, Idaho and Waco, Texas, culminating in a militia sympathizer's 1995 bombing of a federal office building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people.
Their numbers dwindled following that attack but have spiked in recent years, driven by fears that President Barack Obama will threaten gun ownership and erode the power of local government. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, estimates there were 276 active militias last year, up from 42 in 2008.
In recent years, armed groups have confronted federal authorities in a series of land-use disputes in the western United States. Federal officials fear more clashes could come after seven militants were acquitted on conspiracy charges for occupying a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon.
Many fear Clinton would push the county further to the left.
"This is the last chance to save America from ruin," Hill said. "I'm surprised I was able to survive or suffer through eight years of Obama without literally going insane, but Hillary is going to be more of the same."
EXTREMIST GROUPS EMBOLDENED
The Oath Keepers, a prominent anti-government force that sent gun-toting members to the 2014 race riots in Ferguson, Missouri, called on members last week to monitor voting sites on election day for any signs of fraud.
An hour south of Atlanta, the Three Percent Security Force started the day around the campfire, taking turns shooting automatic pistols and rifles at a makeshift target range. They whooped with approval when blasts from one member's high-powered rifle knocked down a tree.
The group operates independently, but is affiliated with a national armed movement that calls for members to defend individual rights in the face of what they see as an overreaching federal government. The movement draws its name from the notion that no more than 3 percent of the American population fought in the Revolutionary War against Britain.
Amid the war games, Hill weighed plans for a possible armed march on Washington if Clinton wins.
He said he doesn't want his members leading the way, but they will defend the protesters if need be. His group will not hesitate to act if a President Clinton tries to disarm gun owners, he said.
"I will be there to render assistance to my fellow countrymen, and prevent them from being disarmed, and I will fight and I will kill and I may die in the process," said Hill, who founded the militia several years ago.
Trump's candidacy has emboldened extremist groups to speak more openly about challenging the rule of law, said Ryan Lenz, a researcher at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"Prior to this campaign season, these ideas were relegated to sort of the political fringe of the American political landscape," he said. "Now these ideas are legitimized."
Over the past week, some prominent Trump supporters have hinted at violence.
"If Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket," former Illinois Representative Joe Walsh wrote on Twitter last week. Conservative commentator Wayne Root fantasized about Clinton's death while speaking at a Trump rally in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Back in Georgia, the Three Percent Security Force wrapped up rifle practice in the midday sun. They then headed further into the trees to tackle an obstacle course with loaded pistols at their sides, ready for whatever may come.
"We've building up for this, just like the Marines," he said. "We are going to really train harder and try to increase our operational capabilities in the event that this is the day that we hoped would never come."

Damn, trump supporters out here burning churches now?

Whoever did that is despicable. There's absolutely no justification for that in the political process, or any time really.
That said, something about the spray painted 'VOTE TRUMP' struck me as very odd about all that, when that clearly hurts Trump and paints his supporters in a negative light.
I hate to be pessimistic, but this close to the election we have to consider all possibilities, from a hate crime to a 'false flag' style attack if you will. Until the perpetrators are caught we really just don't have much to go on.
Of course the same logic can be applied the other way around, e.g. to the Republican headquarters in North Carolina that got firebombed.
Donald Trump supporters cover damage costs for black church burnt down by someone who spray-painted ‘Vote Trump’ on the side of the burnt down building.
Trump supporters have raised over $100.000 to rebuild a church in Mississipi. Recently, the church was supposedly burned down by a rogue Trump supporter. The church was lit on fire, and someone spray-painted “vote Trump” on the side of the building. This attack is similar to another attack, in which a mosque in Texas was set on fire in the name of Trump. While the arsonist in the church fire is unknown, the Mosque was burned down by a Muslim man.
The reaction to the church fire had quite the opposite affect on Trump supporters. Instead of taking it lying down and allowing it to be used as another attack on Donald Trump, they started a GoFundMe page to raise money to rebuild the church.
Trump supporters have reached their goal in about thirteen hours, with over $120,000 in combined donations from over 3500 people.
The Church itself has been around for 111 years according to Bishop Green, who has spent the entire day on premises.
The attack itself is nonsensical. If a Trump supporter did this, they would be doing it while knowingly hurting his campaign. Even if this attack was from a Trump supporter, they do not represent all supporters.
People have taken an active role in his campaign, from investigating and combing through Wikileaks and FBI documents to fundraising and starting grassroots twitter campaigns to help cut through media oppression. The internet has allowed for political activism from the comfort of people’s homes and has been a great launching point for the Trump campaign.
That was done by a regular Muslim member of that Mosque. I don't point that out to pick on Muslims or anything but I do seem to recall that was initially blamed on the far right. Sometimes the facts are quite a bit different and we see people do some really crummy things and try to pin them on 'the other side'.

The church situation is the same as the Trump office being firebombed,
I love the diversity of links the right finds for their news.
I'm still trying to figure out some of their links.
Or trying to get rid of the pop ups that come from clicking on them.

It has been a wild ride.
The Polls are tied now, my job is done here.
Nov 9th will either find Hillary facing impeachment or Trump picking up you Liberals in army trucks.
So trump will take everybody who didn't vote for him to camps?
At least you finally admitted he's exactly like Hitler.

No. Only the Liberals. First he will cut off their tails. Then its off to their new FEMA home.
At least let me go out with a bang. I wanna get crucified like Jesus.
The cross is light, though. I'm a strong dude so you might have to use a metal one.
