I don't know about you but I'm not in the mood for this NONSENSE

[mindfulNJ]

I am so tired of MAGA and the threat of violence that they and their dear leader are holding over us like a sword of Damocles if he loses! I would be willing to go to Washington with the like-minded and form a circle around the Capitol to keep these cult zombies out. I'm 64 and have nothing to lose.

[gab13by13]

1. There will be zero violence in Washington

Meal team 6 may cause trouble at a few polling places.

Worry more about the legal challenges and the fascist Supreme Court.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Meal team 6! Lol

[Jerry2144]

18. Not to be confused with the Gravy Seals

[Wednesdays]

39. Yeah, these guys.

[MLAA]

23. They will only threaten cat women working at the polls to save democracy.

[Walleye]

2. I get the feeling Maga doesn't care about the election anymore. They're just anxious to bust some heads.

[Diamond_Dog]

7. I get the same feeling, Walleye.

[Sky Jewels]

12. But even the dumbasses in their cult see how

the Joe Schmos who are stupid enough to do the fascists' dirty work a la January 6 are the ones who get punished in the aftermath, not the big poohbahs. They won't have a critical mass willing to risk going to prison.

[spooky3]

27. Agree, AND Pres. Biden will not hesitate to call in the National Guard from VA and MD

if needed--a big difference from 2020. They also are better prepared this time.

[The Madcap]

28. Don't you mean

2020?

[spooky3]

30. yes, will correct, thanks nt

[Elessar Zappa]

26. They can try.

Authorities will be ready for them this time. And personally, I’m not afraid of them at all. I’m a big guy and own a self defense weapon.

[vapor2]

3. Appalling but not surprising

that met said we would all be 2nd class citizens if Kamala wins. SERIOUSLY?

[orthoclad]

4. Think about state capitals and city halls, too.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. This is a civil war where one side is openly terrorizing the

Rest of us, and we are fighting back by testing the strength of our existing laws.

[hadEnuf]

46. Yes, for now.

Let's hope the laws hold up.

But many are not going to be shit on by Nazis and thugs if they get power again..

[Ligyron]

6. I should think with a Democratic administration in office, they'll be ready for any nonsense.

Joe could alway use his new superpowers to have them all shot, as protecting the Capitol is one of his core constitutional duties.

[TheKentuckian]

31. No magical powers are required to order the defense of the capital.

[ShazzieB]

37. They'll be ready. I'm 100% positive of that!

Mark my words: the security at the Capitol will be tight as a drum on January 6, 2025, and probably for a while leading up to it. I'm talking cops in full riot gear and the National Guard as backup.

Last time TSF blocked any help from the National Guard, remember? The Capitol Police were not expecting a violent, armed mob to invade the Capitol, and they weren't ready for it. When the violence broke out, TSF rebuffed their requests for help and made sure they didn't get any. That was what enabled the rioters to get in and swarm all over the place. That is NOT going to happen this time.

This time Joe Biden is potus, and he's going to be ready for anything Trump and his cultists might try to pull. IF they decide to try, they won't get very far. In fact, any would-be marauders may just back right off when they see what the security is like.

There may be some threats or even attempts at violence in some localities, and some local leo will probably be busy, but I believe the U.S. Capitol is going to be just fine. The certification will be completed on time, and nothing TSF does (or tries to do) is going to stop Harris and Walz from being sworn in on January 20.

[SheltieLover]

54. They are already erecting the fences, ShallizB

[ShazzieB]

57. Yeah, i heard about that, after I posted! 😁

And I'm very glad to know it!

[SheltieLover]

58. Me too!

[Joinfortmill]

8. I hear you!

[calimary]

35. So do I, my friend.

VOTE, DAMMIT!!!

[Greybnk48]

10. My husband and I will join you. He's 76, and I will be 76 next Saturday.

We've got nothin' to lose either! We'll help block the zombie cultists!

[mindfulNJ]

36. It would be an honor to stand with you!

We could call ourselves the geezer gauntlet!

[HUAJIAO]

50. I'll be 81 tomorrow!

[mindfulNJ]

52. Happy Birthday!

I hope you get a new Madam President as a gift!

[HUAJIAO]

53. Thanks. Me too.

[ancianita]

11. Pretty sure you'll see that Biden's got this.

It's not gonna be like 2020.

DC is prepped for rando right wing dipshittery & shenanigans.

[liberalla]

14. Yes I believe he does! I'm really looking forward to 45 and friends getting cut off at the knees

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

13. DC is going to be too well protected for anyone to cause violence there again... Be prepared to safeguard the

Democratic State Capitals when the slate of electoral vote are counted/verified or whatever it is they do.

THAT’s where I think the violence will happen. Though it would not surprise me if the states aren’t preparing for that as well. The governors may very well have the state’s national guard on standby to protect the capitals in December!

[ancianita]

16. Yep. As for states,

the governors are on this, true, and they know that the FBI's field offices are on high alert and ready to act.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

17. Thanks for the update on state status!

[ancianita]

22. Absolutely. There are 16,000 FBI field installation officers, 20% of them with law degrees (and guns).

ALL FBI 10,100 Special Agents (at least 20% of them lawyers) and 13,700 other employees are trained for different lengths at Quantico, VA. Almost all FBI agents have degrees in Criminal Justice.

[debm55]

19. Thank you ancianita.

[mindfulNJ]

33. Wherever we need to go

[lees1975]

41. I think that's where the most likely disruption will occur, at the state capitols on the day the electoral votes

are cast. It might be a good idea to make sure electors are protected at their homes and enroute to the state capitol as well.

[dlilafae]

15. MindfulNJ,

I'll go with, and lock arms...

[ancianita]

24. No need. DC Metro Police & Nat'l Guard are already out.

[mindfulNJ]

32. Let's GO!

[mindfulNJ]

51. Great!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

20. PA, WI, MI, NC, GA, AZ, NV, and elsewhere Kamala might win, are ready to counter any violence.

Except for Georgia and Nevada, the other states have Democratic Party Governors who are likely very aware of what could transpire and have Plan B's already to implement if the need arises. Let us hope the Governors of GA and NV think to protect their states as well against MAGAt mobs if Kamala wins there.

Being that races for POTUS, US Senate and House are Federal races, there could be Federal charges in play as wel on top of State charges for insurrection and violence on State property.

[Fyrefox]

21. There's no bottom to Trump or a MAGA fanatic...

Violence is never far from the heart of any MAGAt. I think that they consider it a perfectly usable means to their ends, and kinda hope that it plays out that way. They did the unthinkable in desecrating DC before, but we now know the depths of which they're capable, and will be better prepared. I just never thought that we'd be facing the same possibility of domestic terrorism that we did almost four years ago. The wheels of justice grind too slowly...

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

25. I don't get the "meal team 6" reference. If it's related to Seal team 6, I don't get it. Please enlighten me. Tks!

[Elessar Zappa]

29. It's a play on the fact

that most pictures of Republican militia members with guns and camouflage tend to be severely obese.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

38. 🤣 Thanks for clarifying!

[Wednesdays]

40. See my reply #39, above. nt

[GenThePerservering]

55. You can look this kind of thing up. nt

[Bobstandard]

34. Im with the OP

I think it may be necessary. We certainly can’t roll over and play dead in the face of election theft.

[40RatRod]

42. Bring in the fire trucks

Those babies can knock them in on their asses and then wash them for 30 feet.

[redstatebluegirl]

43. I am with you!

I am 69 and more than willing to go protect my democracy with what is left in me!

[Kaleva]

44. Unlike others, I have faith in Biden handling whatever situation arises.

[debm55]

47. I agree with you. So very tired of the creep.and his followers.

[wiggs]

48. One person and one party are responsible for the nation being on Defcon 3 all the time, and especially now...

I don't know why it isn't stated as plainly as that on talk shows, analyst panels, and in media outlets of all stripes. Same person and same party are responsible for dragging us through discussions such as:

...how much money can a president make off the office before it becomes illegal?

...should a potus be impeached and/or indicted for blackmailing the leader of an ally into finding dirt on a political rival?

...how much criming can a potus get away with before running out of immunity?

...can a sitting potus interfere with his own election? Does arm-bending and threatening governors count as interference or is it potus's job? Does sending an armed crowd to the capitol to fight for a halt to election processes count as interference?

...can a former president ignore classified docs laws?

...which interferes with elections more: continuing criminal court cases during an election or NOT continuing criminal court cases?

...should we be worried about a president who privately meets with and promotes virtues of the worst dictators around the globe?

...how much of the country views a lack of character, lack of competence, lack of empathy, and a life of full greed, failure, and grifting as strength in a leader?

...should a person who can't get security clearance due to all kinds of compromising situations be able to run for president?

...what portion of the country sees a weak, small, mean man and calls him good...while seeing a good, decent, competent person and calling he/she evil?

...and many more topics that we've never had to resolve before

[ironman99]

49. I don't know about you but I'm not in the mood for this NONSENSE

If Vice Resident Harris wins, and these magat morons try some stuff, they are going to be so bitch slapped, they won't know what hit them.

[mindfulNJ]

56. Yup

Not going to put up with it this time.
