Republican Voter Suppression Efforts Are Targeting Minorities

Will the mail bombs to Democrats garner a sympathy vote?

I don't think so because most people will chalk it up to one or two wackos. People are and will jump on it to say all Trump voters are white supremacists terrorists and they are and will say it is a false flag but these people are already hyper-ideological anyway.

I have NOT read this whole thread----I just wanted to add my 2 cents.....

I HOPE it will be a red wave----the Dems'll be lucky if I ever vote for one of them, again!! We've got a total CLOWN running for governor (NOT our incumbent - the other guy)----I can't remember ever seeing someone who, with every word they uttered, was so transparent, one could see straight through to their idiocy (usually, they say, at least, one or two things that makes sense).

I will have a great big LOL if there IS a red wave, cuz the Dems will start eating their own!! LOLOLOL

Trump stopped the gun control attack on disabled people. It was one of the first things he did as president

all the aspies here who worship that man, what has the GOP ever done for YOU?

Why do you worship the Democrats?
Gop saved my rights while dem wanted to strip them away cause I’m an aspie and aspies are bad people according to them. Why do you support a group who thinks your a bad dangerous person cause of the way you were born?
I don’t suport either side by you’re super sucked into blinding fallowing the dems

i'm a single issue voter, that of health care. the GOP historically opposed extending it to the working class. that is all I need to know in opposing them.

And Then; As usual, he changed his Mind/Talk/Do as Trump Has Been Known to Do continuouSly too as HiStory SHows.

"WASHINGTON - President Trump called Wednesday for confiscating guns from people who are mentally ill without waiting for a court order -- a startling stance reflecting impatience for quick action after a rash of mass shootings.
"I don't want mentally ill people to be having guns," he said at a freewheeling White House meeting on school safety. "Take the guns first, go through due process second."

"Trump's push to confiscate guns without due process caught lawmakers and his own vice president off guard. And he reiterated it.
"Take the firearms first and then go to court," Trump said, arguing that waiting for legal procedures can take too long to prevent a shooting such as the one that left 17 people dead at a Parkland, Fla., high school earlier this month.
"They have so many checks and balances that you can be mentally ill and it takes you six months before you can prohibit it," he said. "Number one, you can take the guns away immediately from people that you can adjudge easily are mentally ill, like this guy. The police saw that he was a problem, they didn't take any guns away ... think they should have taken them away anyway, whether they had the right or not."

He'll take your rights down in a Heart Beat;
if the Mood Strikes him again; if the Republicans
Maintain Control of the House/Senate. He Makes Fun of
Folks who he 'thinks' are not as Smart As Him; Particularly
Folks
From the South
when they aren't paying
attention; in Words like he could
Shoot Someone in Public and 'they'
would Still be 'Ignorant' enough to Still Support Him.
There is no doubt he understands who he is currently playing now.
Anyway; I don't need a Gun to be a Man (Human) but i totally get why 'some folks' do.

Dems did a horrible horrible job with healthcare.
I’m mostly a single issue voter and it’s call the bill of rights. And Democrats almost 100% oppose the bill of rights.
So I won’t vote for anyone who’s against my rights.
If dems really cared about me they’d leave me alone and repay the money they took from social security so I could get a living amount.

That was months ago. Right after parkland. I think he let his emotions get to him. Nothing came from it.
And it was a far cry from removing rights from all disabled. As horrible as what he said is it was about if you see someone who seems crazy and likely to do something. By the way the left went googlly eyes over it so why would I support the left? Trump isn’t pro gun but he’s hell lot better then a rabid anti gun democrat who wants to ban all guns.

Say you have hitler vs Paul Ryan
Hitler wants to exterminate all disabled people
While Ryan just wants to kick them off social security and might not even do that
Who do you pick?

in order to get the typical amount of income from an alternative investment that is not social security, you'd need half a mil $$$$$$ with a consistent interest rate above the actual street inflation rate above and beyond taxes and fund expenses/fees. something like 7%, which per the rule of 72 would roughly double your aggregate investment every decade, that works out over a period of 40 or 50 years. not too many investments these days [available to you and me and not that billionaire hiding behind the tree] that pay a clear and consistent 7% year in and out. social security is a far more reliable thing than anything offered by wall street. if you think you can outperform wall street on your own, good luck with that. same with medicare. and forget about commercial private health care, when you get to be my age it is simply unaffordable. a single surgery can cost upwards of $50k at a minimum. for all practical purposes, social security and medicare are the only way to go unless you win 7 figures on the lotto.

There is Zero Evidence that Democrats Want to Ban all Guns as a Political Platform Whole Ever
in American History Now. That's Just Another Conspiracy Theory Generated by Trump and Other
'Minions'. Anyway Dude; Don't Need Guns; Don't Need Money; My Nest is all Feathered
Now Barring the Leader of the Current 'Minion' Crew Pushing 'the Button' and Killing
Everyone in The World; This is All Zero Sweat for me as My Federal Government Pension
Beyond Social Security With Savings Will Easily Last me and my Wife the Rest of our Lives

in

words Love;
Without Fear and Hate
And Common Human Ignorance
oF Folks Simply Having no Clue What's True;
Dude, Trump Lies continuously as the Record Shows
He is a total Disgrace to what the United States Means
For a Flag For Liberty and Justice Free For all in a Declaration
of Independence That is Greater Perfected; as Yes a Union of Unity
Is A Country
where all
People
Share
The Unalienable
Rights to Life, Liberty
and the Pursuit of Happiness more;
Meanwhile, Trump and Company are doing
Their Best to Remove Self-Determination from
An Entire Demographic of Human Beings who Are Citizens of this Country

Other than that; This Country is a Democracy; Vote Your Mind and Heart and Soul True to Whoever/Whatever You are;
But be very careful what you wish for; for you might just get Nothing, Before all is Said and Voted and Eventually Done;

Trump-N-Company Sees Humans as

It's Hard for me to See Why; And So Easy too; for
i do Remember That Other place too. i Know Where Trump Lives;
Trust me
or not;
You
Never Wanna Go tHere.

We should do like austand UK and ban guns
Yeah saying we should be like them and have a total gun ban isn’t wantint to ban all guns
Hilary wants to ban all guns so f**k her I voted for trump.
Most the front runners for next election on dem side want to ban guns and confiscate ones already owned. So I’ll be voting trump again. Gun control with end game of total ban is a primary policy of the democrats. They’ve admitted so few times, but most will hide it. Just as hitler knew he had to hid the deaths of the Jews or he’d lose support and power. Hitler never talked about the extermination of any people. Instead people were told lies about them going to better places and that they were happy.


Ikewise id w democrat actual spoke the truth and said yeah I want to ban all guns immediately they’d lose the election in s landslide. They know that that’s why they’ve been doing it step by step. Ban here ban there, background checks, limits her e,imits ther. Ban one type of gun them next year ban another until they all gone.
Again some will get caught admitting it in gatherings and some will say it outright and proudly. Democrat party is known to both sides as the anti gun party.

I don't believe most Democrats want to ban guns outright. That doesn't make sense.

Many Democrats happen to hunt, too.

Pretty much all democrat politicians do and when I say republicans or democrats I mean politicians. Since the voters don’t mean or do anything. It’s politicians who make laws and policies not you or me.
That said most liberals do want to ban guns. And I’m sick of it.

From the Senate Judiciary Committee:

OCTOBER 26, 2018 --UPDATE: Avenatti Referred for Additional Investigation

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley today submitted a second referral to the Justice Department and FBI following a news report yesterday that cast doubt on the veracity of allegations in a second sworn statement provided by Michael Avenatti to the committee.

Avenatti submitted an anonymous declaration on October 2, 2018, purporting to corroborate allegations raised by Julie Swetnick. However, according to yesterday’s news report, the declarant denied making the key allegations, saying that Avenatti “twisted [her] words.”

Grassley is referring Avenatti for investigation of potential violations of the same statutes noted in yesterday’s criminal referral. More on yesterday’s referral is available here.

The Left was prepared to advance any lie if it would delay the Kavanaugh case until after the midterms.
