Ah yes, having disdain for people who are trying to physically intimidate their political rivals, by surrounding their vehicles and causing them to slow down to 20 mph on a highway is a really awful position to have.

Don't kid yourself that you wouldn't be frothing at the mouth if a Biden Train revved their Prius' at the Trump supporters walking home from the Trump rally in Omaha the other day.

A Biden Train would not be revving anything. They would be blocking freeways and throwing things. Trying to intimidate political rivals? Seems to be page one of the leftist handbook. Ask Andy Ngo.

How soon they forget when they want to

You do know that some of these Trump trains did block freeways, right?

Just making sure you're actually aware of what happened as you try to paint things as completely different so you can avoid criticizing the participants who intentionally intimidated their political rivals.

This is the same ****, just from the other side. Plenty of people who participated probably had no interest in doing anything besides supporting the POTUS. But there were obviously those who were out to do more, and they shouldn't receive cover from others. Just do a bit of reading about the guy who took credit for hitting the staffer's support vehicle.

The FBI is rightfully investigating these activities.

Quote:The SUV appeared to be over the highway road line. However, another angle in a video reposted by NowThis (beginning at 1:20) showed the bus appeared to be changing to the right lane, and when the white SUV attempted to also change lanes, the dark-colored truck sped up and braked behind the bus to not allow the white SUV over. Brake lights are visible on the dark-colored truck at the 1:24 mark in the NowThis video. (An extended video in a newer Snopes story sheds new light on the clash between the two vehicles.)

A Facebook user named Eliazar Cisneros posted a video of the “Trump Train.” He also claimed to be the driver of the truck that clashed with the white SUV, later making another post, and commenting: “That was me slamming that ******…. Hell yea.” In the same comments, he said, “he hit me,” referring to the white SUV, and also said: “I reacted because he was running me off the road.”

Quote:The police department also said it has researched the crash and watched online video. It said the “at-fault vehicle” may be the Biden-Harris staffer’s car, while the “victim” appears to be one of the Trump vehicles.

Linky poo to local news on the issue

Good grief.

Returning to the thread title topic, I think Biden wins. I could be wrong. Last time I was this sure of a Democrat win was 2016.

The important thing is the Senate. If the Dems win both Congressional houses and the WH, and then move to pack the court, we will have the beginnings of one party rule in America. I do not think an unfettered left wing movement is good for us - we shall be Venezuela in short order.

Unfortunately, that is the direction I see for the Dems. Never again will they allow dissent to thwart their "progress". If they pack the Court and declare statehood for DC and PR, our republic is dead. The Constitution will become the law du jour.

The only silver lining I see for me is that I can spend the waning years of my life saying "I told you so" and "This is what you voted for".

Little game: when do you think CNN will declare Biden the winner? My pick is 8:00 CST tonight.

I think MSNBC will be about 15 minutes behind.

I guess driving trucks with flags is now 'intimidation'. Lolz. I do love the juicy language lad parrots.

In that sense, couple of weeks ago, I guess I should have run up top the local po po to report Sooner 'intimidation' at the Red River classic. Does the same apply to the T-Sip yahoos with flags?

'Intimidation' --- spin that scary music soundtrack and wave your hands real scary like over trucks with flags.

Very definitive statement there by the police. Really proves your point! From literally the next sentence, which completely unthreads your claim that clearly the staffer was in the wrong...

“Calls to the driver of the white SUV have gone unanswered and SMPD has not been contacted by the driver of the black truck. Since SMPD has not spoken to either driver at this time, additional investigation would be required to fully ascertain who was at fault.”

so nice of you to have my best interests at heart. I will be so happy to receive the state-managed care after the state has depleted my resources. Looking forward to my life in room 237C.

why do you guys keep insisting that 1 = 100? Sure we have a few idiots on the right - the left is run by idiots.

I would give more credit to the FBI investigation if they were also investigating the Biden family corruption. Or if the investigation was complete.

And it goes to my *original* point that both parties acted badly. Something that actually escapes your notice.

By the way, as to the bolded that you point to with glee --- do you not realize that police departments will *never* say '[this person] did it.'. Its a tiny little concept called the 'presumption of innocence'.

To have a police department denote what they did is probably the most presumptive thing a department will say. They are fact taking a position to the most that they can broadcast.

If it were truly non-determinative, they wouldnt make any statement at all, let alone one that actually created a finger point.

Dance some more, lad. Or, next time you 'lol', perhaps you should apply some very basic knowledge of the real world to the issue *before* you dance on the heads on needles....

Now, back to your other comment -- do you see how far down the 'Hillary deplorable' path *you* have traveled with your parrot of the ISIS comparison?

That dang pesky first amendment. You were okay with it when they were breaking windows and starting fires. You were okay with harassing diners at restaurants. You were okay with tying up drive-thru lines for people who had to get lunch and back to work... you were okay with it when they slowed traffic out in and out of hospitals and delayed police and fire responses. You were okay with them breaking gates and trampling private property.

But GOD FORBID they be a 'nuisance'.

Of course you completely ignored the word 'appeared' in your own link to an opinion on the article.

'Appeared to' is not the same as 'did'... and YOU posted THAT as your proof of your position, and then you chastise others for posting the same? Pitiful. Once again, its okay when leftists do it, but not if it supports the right. The comment above simply means that either person COULD have some vital piece of evidence that the police haven't yet seen that changes their mind... but with all they've seen so far, it APPEARS that the person at fault was the white SUV.

That said, I'd take the statement of the police's opinion over that of Snopes... since the police have actually started the investigation while Snopes has merely read about it and observed a few of what is likely many videos. Also because it will be the Police determining who gets the fine/ticket/citation/warning and not Snopes.... and the reality is that so would you... but because it doesn't serve your purpose right now... you suspend what you would normally think, and go with this.

Biden's going to win... and in 4 years when NONE of the things you elected him to do have your intended outcome, you'll still be blaming 'someone else'. It's Boomer's fault for not teaching you better, I guess. That's what you said before anyway.

lad, I will actually agree with you that is harassment. Absolutely.

But, apparently only in left world does 'harassment == INTIMIDATION'.

And yes, I have actually *been* harassed in Austin, not for a MAGA cap or anything overtly Trump, but for the temerity to have a wear a face mask with the US flag on it.

It was annoying, and I actually find the 'Trump Trucks' annoying as hell as well. I see those quite often in the Hill Country, where I spend a very large part of my time these days.

But you are stupidly over the top to denote this as 'intimidation'.

It may have *grown* into intimidation when the white SUV (Biden driver) hit the truck, and the truck hit it back.

But that logical progression, and base state, seems to escape you.

But far simpler to label any 'Trump Truck' as 'intimidation', and then directly equate that to ISIS. I still find your defense of labeling Trump trucks as a direct comparison to ISIS as incredibly reprehensible. And short-sighted to boot.

As I implied, free country to say what you want and all that jazz. But that comparison being parroted by you in particular (who actually say the awfulness of the Hillary 'deplorable' statement) is amazingly disappointing from this quarter.

Ces't le vie.

Most people are regular people, that is kind of the definition of "regular". I am pretty regular. My family is pretty regular (both the conservatives and the progressives). I don't think either side has a claim on "regular" people.

The only thing that concerns me about them are the use of buses to shuttle people around. For the most part, it's unlikely that outdoor events really lead to significant spread - but cramming people into buses will if mask use isn't common.

I was concerned about those summer protests serving as a superspreader events. Luckily, it seems that there wasn't an issue from what I could discern.

Now that numbers have spiked again, cold months are upon us, and flu season is here I am increasingly worried about these maskless political rallies.

The only thing that concerns me about them are the use of buses to shuttle people around. For the most part, it's unlikely that outdoor events really lead to significant spread - but cramming people into buses will if mask use isn't common.

My guess is that the percentage of people wearing masks at the summer protests >>> the percentage of people wearing masks at these recent Trump rallies.
