Trump supporter first.

Klansman second.

Cop third.

In that order.

Of course. The Trumps know how they listen and follow their orders....and in turn, the Trumps figure might as well let the deplorables get arrested instead of themselves.

Things could get really crazy once the Trumps realize they're going down to defeat and they unleash the Trumpers.

The dumbasses probably think Trump will appreciate what they did and pardon them before they even enter a jail cell. However, the dumbasses don't realize they're just being used and Trump could careless about what happens to them.

This is the kind of garbage that should make any reasonable R's vote for Joe, if there are any left.

Or just a coincidence that all those Vanilla Isis were there on the same stretch of road as the bus passed by?

I have no doubt that there are still dedicated professionals working within the remnants of the DoJ, but I also have no doubt that Barr has been trying to turn it into his fiefdom in service to trumPutin.

She's whip smart and a force to be reckoned with. I've loved her since 2013 and her famous filibuster. I hope she wins her race!

Go Wendy!

big, fat summons to court to answer to charges for recklessly endangering the lives of the people in the car and the bus. I imagine other drivers on the highway were put in peril, too. This isn't the joke they think it is, it's multiple violations of all kinds of laws.

Btw, I didn't find this picture when I searched on it. We all saw that truck sideswipe and knock out of its lane a white car following the bus, though.

If this had happened to trump's bus/caravan, do you think the FBI might have made an arrest or two? Do you think maybe the cops supporting this activity against Trump might lose their jobs?
