Trump Backers Enter Detroit Vote-Count Center, Bypassing Police

Source: Bloomberg

(Bloomberg) -- Hundreds of Trump supporters gathered at the TCF Center in Detroit, where absentee ballots are being counted by volunteers, shouting for workers to “stop the count” after President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit to stop counting ballots until his campaign was granted access to the process.

The protesters, many of whom said they wanted to be poll watchers, were initially blocked by police at the front door of the convention center. The crowd entered the building through an unguarded rear door and resumed chanting inside.

Protesters gather outside the TCF Center in Detroit, on Nov. 4.

“I came down to be a challenger,” said Fred, from Royal Oak, a suburb north of Detroit. He didn’t give his last name. “We believe that there is an order out right now that the counting should be stopped, but apparently they are not stopping. It came from the White House, through legal means. Some judge has ordered it, but they won’t stop.” No hearing has yet been set in the Trump campaign’s challenge.

They honestly think Trump can give orders about the election that everyone has to obey just because they come from him.

Then charge them for the costs of arresting them and tell them to get reimbursed from the campaign.

No more bullshit from these clowns.

Those assholes can take their bullshit elsewhere. I vividly remember those phony "grassroots" angry mobs that showed up in Florida. Turns out they were republican operatives. Oh hell to the no! Not this time! Bide/Harris prepared for this eventuality this time. They knew what was up. We have lawyers too little donny poopy pants.

the initial counting of ballots.

I don't believe anyone pResidential candidate has ever gone to court to stop the initial counting of ballots.
Stopping the recounting of ballots was in 2000 and I think in Ohio in 2004,
but I don't believe anyone has ever asked to stop the initial counting of ballots.

Here's the argument in court by Pendejo45's lawyers:
"Judge, Pendejo45 is leading. We have to stop the counting now, so we can say he won!
Otherwise, our client will be harmed."

The judge dies from laughing so hard.

“We believe that there is an order out right now that the counting should be stopped, but apparently they are not stopping. It came from the White House, through legal means. Some judge has ordered it, but they won’t stop.”

So, Donald Trump said "stop the counting" and that's it? His assholiness made an official decree and the counting must stop? As much as these nitwits want to live in a fascist dictatorship, we don't live in a fascist dictatorship. Pack it up your ass and rotate, skippy!

Lock him up.
