I hope, hope and hope this is a false flag and everyone will be safe.

(39,374 posts)Assholes really want Trump. He would give them money and power, plus he's a moron they can run circles around. It's a wet dream, especially compared with working for a female adult who knows their schtick inside-out. Wicked combo there.

I'm more worried about white extremists losing their shit after Trump loses Tuesday night.

Remember, Ghoulini said they had some tricks up their sleeve and were going to go down fighting. Given their connections to certain elements
I worry how far they will take this to win though. Stay heads up out there friends.

(4,438 posts)They will stoop to anything and everything. They are so afraid of losing power, and they couldn't care less who gets hurt. They will do whatever they think it takes to win. We must get rid of citizen's united and get the money out of politics. That's all they're there for.....pocketing our tax money. And look out if Drumpf gets in. It will be his personal piggy bank to pay off hids loans from China and Russia he has taken. Drumpf is a puppet for Putin of the first order. He probably had to agree to it to get the money.
