Roger Stone calls for 'armed guards' at polling spots in leaked video

Source: The Guardian

The longtime Donald Trump ally and friend Roger Stone said Republicans should send “armed guards” to the polls in November to ensure a Trump victory, according to video footage by an undercover journalist.

[.....]

“We gotta fight it out on a state-by-state basis,” said Stone. “We’re already in court in Wisconsin, we’re already in court in Florida.”

When the journalist, posing as a member of a rightwing voter turnout organization, pressed Stone for details on efforts to make sure Trump wins in 2024, Stone told him that the campaign has to “be ready”.

“When they throw us out of Detroit, you go get a court order, you come in with your own armed guards, and you dispute it,” said Stone. In Detroit in 2020, there was a chaotic scene at a ballot counting center when GOP vote challengers pounded on the walls of the center and demanded to be let in.

...and when he gets there, he can stay F%@ked off. What's happening to Giuliani really should also be happening to this clown. I know Schadenfreude is never a good look, but I will allow myself the indulgence in Stone's case.

They've totally lost it like Roy Cohn in his later days. The only difference is Stone doesn't have a law license to lose.

As long as we stop 'taking the high road' and understand that this is a war, and not a 'disagreement''

Will we? To borrow a quote from the movie 'The Untouchables'.. what are you prepared to do?

He's confusing an assailing force for officers who stand guard and protect something.

From Mussolini's blackshirts / Squadrismo to Hitler's brownshirts, they always have thugs willing to do the dirty work for them.

Stone should have been sent to prison for his participation in the Brooks Brothers riot back in 2000.

The fact that he, tRump and many of the January 6th mob are all still walking around is a stain on our system of justice.

We all know if the left or Black Lives Matter had committed half of what these violent assholes have done they'd all be in jail or worse.

This double standard of justice, one for the left and another for the right must stop!
