[QUOTE=JDogindy;5182335]Given Trump's even more unstable behavior, it further has me more concerned about the behavior of his followers if Biden wins and the victory is conclusive.[/QUOTE]
Yes. Trump is going all-out on the completely unsubstantiated voter fraud claim and Conservatives on the net are gobbling it up
Conservatives: Hey, they found a discarded box of ballots with a million and two votes for Trump in it.
Me: Um, it was a small town and there were nine votes total in the box, seven of which were for Biden.
Conservatives: Fake news. Biased Liberal media. Alternative Facts in our alternate reality.
Just as he took illegal immigration, a minor issue at best, and fanned it into an inferno in people's minds, he's going all-out on this completely unsubstantiated claim (like all his claims are) about voter fraud. Obviously, he's setting up for a legal fight and the hopes his Conservative court will back him if it's a close election or even if it's not. If it's a Biden landslide, his followers will be convinced that proves it was rigged. Win or lose, his last round as the worst president in history will be memorable.

And the thing is its more than "just politics". Its DANGEROUS. Riling up this division and hate, is life and death dangerous to people.
He has a direct connection to not doing enough to stop the rise of these right wing domestic terror groups in the country. We had been warned they were a real and tangible threat. And he can barely bring himself to even denounce them without immense pressure and backlash. And even then it has to come with an equivocation that his own intelligence agencies reports show in that Antifa that GOP like to tout as the boogeyman is not a real organization with a leader etc.

Not a jokesite. For legit.
FYI, I do think American troops should leave Afghanistan but quite obviously the negotiations between Pompeo and Taliban are never gonna work, and of course Putin is in fact the current author of foreign policy in the Middle East.[/QUOTE]
You sure it's not Sascha Baron Cohen pranking CBS? I mean, he does have a new Borat movie to promote.

When Trump announced his cabinet in 2016 people called it a rogues gallery, now I think it's a circle of Death Eaters, the Legion of Doom, Sauron's Army and so on and so forth.
There doesn't seem to be anyone here who isn't a ghoul.

Those people are the Republican party now. This is the inevitable result of decades of misinformation and rabble-rousing by the conservative media.

Boy, the photographer made a good catch there. Yes, I've had IVs once or twice so that is a big tell.

The thing is as the article states, they could have done this a couple of years ago. If there was anything there worth pursuing, then it would have been brought up before this anyway.

I'm sure the GOP must be proud, provided of course any of them actually care. I suspect they don't, they all have ACB and SCOTUS on the brain.

[SIZE=5]Philanise White[/SIZE]
Welcome to what is the 925th original profile here at “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day”, where we’ll be discussing [B]Philanese White[/B], [URL="https://ballotpedia.org/Philanise_White"]a 2020 candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in Illinois’ 1st Congressional District[/URL], and conservative activist who came to our attention because [URL="https://www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspiracy-theory/here-are-qanon-supporters-running-congress-2020"]she is yet ANOTHER Qanon supporter[/URL] who the GOP had on the ballot for a seat in the House, hoping to pull off the unlikely feat of unseating Democratic Congressman Bobby Rush. White was allowed to run for the GOP nomination for this seat unopposed, because the Illinois GOP aren’t exactly focused on preventing ridiculous candidates onto the ballot to embarrass them. We’re talking about the same people who allowed folks like [URL="https://republicinsanity.tumblr.com/post/97197625348/susan-atanus-david-earl-williams-iii"]Susan Atanus[/URL] (claimed God was angry and punishing the country for abortion and same sex marriage) and [URL="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/3/28/1932042/-Crazy-Stupid-Republican-of-the-Day-Art-Jones-2020-Update"]Art Jones[/URL] (a literal Nazi) to be their nominees in the general election.
Anyway, Philanise White [URL="https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-qanon-white-raborn-congress-illinois-20200923-nu7chobffjbrplng2ngbt4zr7e-story.html"]repeatedly referenced the Qanon conspiracy theory on social media, and when asked repeatedly about it, her campaign attacked the local media for not promoting her as “Blacks supporting Trump” instead[/URL].
She is the kind of candidate that you would expect to [URL="https://www.isidewith.com/candidates/philanise-white/policies"]support an agenda that looks like it best would be summarized as “fascism”[/URL] as she supports Trump’s stupid, ineffective border wall, his ban on Muslims traveling to the United States, and wants the government to be able to jail peaceful protesters (no respect for the First Amendment). Meanwhile, she wants no restrictions on the 2nd Amendment, because, well, she is a Republican, after all.
We’re looking forward to seeing Bobby Rush destroy her on election day by, oh… about fifty points or more.

CNN affiliate KUSA, also known as 9NEWS, reported that the suspect detained by police is a private security guard hired by the station.
"The private security guard was contracted through Pinkerton by 9NEWS. It has been the practice of 9NEWS for a number of months to hire private security to accompany staff at protests," KUSA reported. "DPD originally took two people into custody, and later found the second individual, a 9NEWS producer who works in the investigative unit, was not involved in the incident. The producer is no longer in police custody and is not a suspect."
Officers on the scene rendered aid to the victim, who was transported to a hospital where they were later pronounced dead, Investigations Division Chief Joe Montoya said during a news conference Saturday.

Pictures of the man killed and his dead body are online.
Now watch folks throw a fit about that yet were the same ones who had no issue when Trayvon's body was showcased for all.

Oh Gawd, just watched Eric Trump have a meltdown on "This Week"...
Just rambling and spewing outright lies about how Biden ducked out of the next debate, how Biden and Harris want to abolish the police, and claiming that his dad "has lost a fortune fighting for this country".
