Armed trump supporters force campaign event cancelled AND is TX about to throw out 100K ballots?
Texas Republicans ask federal judge to throw out 100,000 ballots in Harris County cast through curbside voting
On Friday, Texas Republicans petitioned a federal court to reject over 100,000 ballots cast through curbside voting in Harris County, Texas. These efforts follow an October 22 decision by the Texas Supreme Court denying a GOP bid to shut down curbside voting — also know as drive-thru voting. The petition claims that drive-thru voting is an illegal expansion of curbside voting, the Austin American-Statesman reports.

DUmmies seem amazed the cops 'blew them off'.  Sorry, not our job man.

61. Are you F***ING kidding me? The US Supreme Court gave them this authority?

"Sheriff Leaf spoke of the historical duties, rights and powers of the Sheriff. and shared this US Supreme Court case on the power of the Sheriff:

The Sheriff represents the sovereignty of the State and he has no superiors in his county and in the execution of his law enforcement duties the Sheriff represents the state and a “county commission has no direct control over how the sheriff fulfills his law enforcement duty”. McMillian v Monroe County, 520 US 781, 791, 792-94; 117 S Ct 1734 (1997)."

How in the hell did we miss this little court case?

72. I felt the same way.

The more I read, the more my spider sensors kicked into play. The fact that the sheriff's group and the Oath Keepers have so successfully inserted themselves into legitimate law enforcement is mind boggling. Frankly, this scares the s**t out of me. Subversive activities openly in law encorcement is unbelievable. Makes more sense of Bob Kroll and the Minnapolis police union and their ability to negatively influence the Minneapolis City Council's work to restructure the police department. The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) hosts training sessions to train their members who inturn train the units they work in.

Just yesterday I got a fundraising call from "a national law enforcement group". They gave their push on supporting law enforcement and asked if they could send me a formal contribution letter with return envelope. I asked who the envelope was addressed to and the phone call ended right then and there. This is happening all over our country. People are financially supporting this group because they are not aware
of the mission of this group

Where was the outrage when Trump supporters were being murdered?

[Old n Grumpy]

How about all the violent antifa and blm terrorists attacking peaceful Trump supporters at rallies.

If the armed Trump supporters were a threat the streets would be painted red with democrat blood.

I have bolded some of the original text from the OP which I did not initially post from the soothslayer above...

I flew down to Texas to help with the Biden/Harris bus tour, intended to drum up enthusiasm at polling locations. Instead, I ended up spending the afternoon calling 911. 1/

See all these pickup trucks with Trump flags? They were sitting along I-35, waiting to ambush the Biden/Harris campaign bus as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin. 2/

These Trump supporters, many of whom were armed, surrounded the bus on the interstate and attempted to drive it off the road. They outnumbered police 50-1, and they ended up hitting a staffer’s car. 3/

The police refused to help. When I flagged down one officer, he said his hands were tied: “not my jurisdiction.” He was wearing a blue stripe bandana. 4/

Understandably, though nobody was hurt, the rest of the tour was cancelled. And as a historian who studied the rise of the Third Reich, I can tell you: this is how a democracy dies. 5/

While Germany still had elections and Hitler was merely a disgraced politician, his militia of Brownshirts interrupted his opponents’ political meetings and incited violence on the streets. You know what happened next. 6/

We don’t know what Trump’s supporters (or Russia) have planned for Tuesday. We don’t know what kind of intimidation and suppression will inevitably occur. 7/

But we can be prepared. In the next four days, we can create such a landslide that their efforts are futile, sending a message that Nazi tactics have no place in America. 8/

Consider traveling to a swing state near you to canvass in person: joebiden.com/where-to-canva… 9/

And if you can’t, please commit to one shift of phone banking per day. Since we can’t celebrate Halloween, you could do it with your roommates or loved ones. joebiden.com/take-action/ 10/

We have four days, and I sure as hell don’t want to wake up on Wednesday wishing I had done more to save our democracy. Please join me. 11/11

Why did they cancel?  Had to make a laundry run to clean the excrement out of numerous pair of skivvies.

And then..... a pickup truck jumped out of the bushes!!!!!!!!!

I'm former USAF and didn't receive training in ground warfare and setting up things like ambushes, but it would seem to me that if you wanted to do a proper ambush, would it make sense to be sitting in the open in plain view with flags identifying which side you are on prior to the ambush?

[hillneck]

But it’s ok for Biden/Harris supporters to burn, pillage, and loot cities and neighborhoods.

Were they waiting in ambush or just part of a grass roots "Trump Train" rally on wheels?
