[Breitbart] MSNBC network national affairs analyst John Heilemann said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that there were “30 million people right now who are ready to take up arms” for former President Donald Trump.
Anchor Chuck Todd said, “I want to read what Bart Gellman wrote in the cover story for The Atlantic. Some might say it is hyperbolic, but John Heilemann, I’m curious if you think it is? The headline is Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun. ‘Trump and his party convinced a dauntingly large number of Americans, that the essential workings of democracy are corrupt, that the made-up claims of fraud are true, that only cheating can thwart their victory at their polls, that tyranny usurped their government and that violence is a legitimate response.’ Hyperbolic or fact?”
Heilemann said, “Fact, I think. The strength of that Gellman piece is it lays out this extraordinary reality that there is this research that shows something like 8% and maybe as many as 12% that say Joe Biden was illegitimate and violence is an appropriate tool to removing him and restoring Donald Trump. That’s between 20 and 30 million people. That’s a mass movement in America in favor of political violence, which is a new thing. We’ve been political violence before, lynching many things over the course of time that African-Americans have suffered, but this is 30 million people right now who are ready to take up arms.”
He added, “You put that together with what the president, the former president, and his allies are doing in the political realm, statehouses, state legislatures and the party apparatus to be able to engineer a situation where they are in a stronger position to pull off a coup in 2024 than they were 2020. That’s not hyperbolic at all. Those are all facts.”

He said it in a bad way, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

Trump and his party convinced a dauntingly large number of Americans, that the essential workings of democracy are corrupt, that the made-up claims of fraud are true, that only cheating can thwart their victory at their polls, that tyranny usurped their government and that violence is a legitimate response.
I think we will give the DNC and affilliates credit for that mindset.

This is the way the US government/deep state have operated for a long time. Goad the other side with inflammatory rhetoric until they make the first move. Then claim it was a sneak attack and lay waste to them.

Yeah, it's one reason I've been so suspicious of people like that agitator we had a few days ago. Life is still pretty normal, we still have hope we can settle this according to the constitution. It's not black flag time and anyone screaming it is will probably be a f'ing buttheaded idiot.

The way the government is so weaponized against citizenns, one has to wonder why anyone would take part in such a poll? Maybe the numbers are far higher. Then one has to ask, who is really the enemy in this country? Maybe the sitting government, does not represent the citizens.

What scares some of them (but not enough of them yet) at night is that a lot of those "80 million voters" suddenly will disappear (as though they really existed in the first place) to defend their power.
As the leadership in the Donetsk and Lugansk separatist republics finally learned, once you fuck over your recruits, they stop believing in your bullshit, then they stop showing up.

Richard Gere and the gerbil story. In years past i head it from the LASD detective who handled the case. Not to pun excessively but that story was quickly memory holed.
[JustTheNews] Vice President Kamala Harris is set on Monday to announce $540 million in private corporate investments in Central America's Northern Triangle – a facet of the Biden administration's plan to slow migration from the region by making it more livable.
The new funding is in addition to the $750 million in private sector dollars the vice president announced in May.
President Biden in the early months of his presidency tasked Harris with helping stem the flow of illegal migration across the U.S. southern border by addressing what the administration refers to as root causes including poverty, corruption, crime and natural disasters, prominent in the Northern Triangle, from which many of the migrants are now coming.
However, since being given the task, the wave of illegal migrants flowing across the border has hit record heights.
Harris' efforts to reduce corruption in Central American nations have also hit some major roadblocks as Guatemala's attorney general fired the country's head anti-corruption prosecutor just weeks after Harris visited the country over the summer to encourage preserving the rule of law.
The vice president, at the time, didn't speak with leaders in Honduras or El Salvador because of significant corruption in those governments. However, Honduras recently elected a new president – Xiomara Castro – who has promised to fight corruption, improve the economy, and protect women in the country. Harris spoke with Castro on Saturday, congratulating her for her victory, and discussing the road forward for Honduras.
Harris will reportedly announce the funding commitments on Monday at a business roundtable with corporate leaders representing companies like Microsoft, PepsiCo, Cargill, and Nespresso.
PepsiCo, Cargill, and Parkdale Mills have each promised roughly $150 million for various projects in Central America over the next several years. Microsoft has committed to providing three million people with internet access, and will raise that figure to four million while also teaching 100,000 people digital skills.

I really think the Cartels have something on the Dims. Obama sent them guns and money. Now his VP is sending the.other VP with lots of cash down there.
#3
$540mil... That's what, about $10 per resident of the Triangle? Sure, that'll make a huge difference.
Nearly half a million individuals from those nations shelled out a multiple of that sum in the past nine months just to pay smugglers. And Kackala Whore thinks this piddling sum will make a dent in these wretched people's desire to GTFO of their shithole countries. Right.
#12
I really think the Cartels have something on the Dims.
Gee, ya think? She could put that $540 million into a border wall and other border security measures and that would be far more effective at slowing immigration. But it would also slow the flow of cocaine, meth and fentanyl. Can't have that.

from Daniel Greenfield
"A single, ominous question now hangs over the White House: What could possibly cause President Trump to put the interests of Russia over those of the United States?" Senator Schumer insinuated in 2018.
Why is Schumer putting Russia’s interests ahead of those of the United States by blocking Nord Stream 2 sanctions on Putin’s pet pipeline into Europe?
Schumer, along with a number of other top Democrats, is a beneficiary of campaign contributions from top Democrat fundraiser Vincent Roberti whose lobbying firm was paid over $8.5 million by Nord Stream 2 which is owned by Putin's state-run Gazprom energy monopoly.
Roberti, a former Dem politician, has maxed out his donations to Schumer and to Rep. Eric Swalwell, who may have been cheating on Fang Fang with Vladimir, and threw in a generous $171,000 to the DCCC, as part of the over $545,000 donated to the Democrat political machine.
The top Dem bundler is reportedly lobbying on "issues related to the U.S. position toward the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, including potential financial sanctions affecting the project."
Suddenly, Schumer, who was accusing the GOP and Trump of being in bed with Putin, and demanding that they vote on sanctions, was refusing to hold a floor vote on Russia sanctions. rtwt

Literally everything these mendacious sh!ts claimed about Trump & Russkies was fabricated -- and actually true about their own stinking corrupt corpse of a political class's whore-tricks turned for various foreign interests.

[Rumble] Video at link. Alex Stovall, Republican candidate for US Congress heading into the Arizona primary, has private ideas that he shares only with his BFF from Project Veritas that do not match his public campaign.
[NYPOST] An AlaskaIHOP is going viral with a savage note blaming President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan...... for its lack of staff.
"Due to the fact that Biden gave out way too much free money and nobody wants to work anymore, we are forced to reduce our hours during this week," the sign in the window of a franchise in Wasilla read.
"Thank you for your understanding and patience," read the widely shared, error-ridden note that IHOP confirmed was genuine but "unauthorized."
The sign quickly divided those who shared it online, with some using the hashtag #BoycottIHOP — but others deliberately seeking out the exact location to support it for being honest about the damage caused by the increasingly unsupported president.
"We can’t wait to eat at [a] place that has the courage to admit the obvious," one person tweeted, while admitting they’d never been to one of the International House of Pancakes locations before.
"Haven’t been to an IHOP in over 20 years, but now I’ll start," another person tweeted, while others told the chain the sign had made new customers.
"So, the snowflakes are boycotting IHOP, because they spoke the truth. I suddenly have a serious craving for Pancakes," someone else wrote.
Others, however, said they were so angered, they would boycott the all-day breakfasts, including the Twitter user who appeared to have first posted the picture.
"We can’t eat at a place that condones this," said @ThatOtherDude12 while posting the sign on Friday.
Others pointed out that the stimulus payouts had been started by Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , ridiculing the suggestion that they were the real cause of staff shortages.
"It couldn’t be the $2.25 an hour that people don’t want to work for, could it?" someone named Jamie Carter asked, looping in IHOP’s official account.

Biden Administration: Not only do our newly bought twins bring in $1000 per month, the Buttgigs have decided to take 6 weeks off and no longer will pay on our student debt because nah ni nah ni nah nah.
[NYPOST] White House press secretary Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job... claimed Monday that Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge is still the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us... ’s point person on immigration after the president of Guatemala said in an interview last week that he has had no contact with any top US official since this summer.President Alejandro Giammattei claimed to Fox News that he hasn’t heard from Harris since she visited Guatemala City in June as part of a rocky trip to discuss the "root causes" of the continuing immigration crisis at the US southern border.
"We had many conversations with your ambassador, but [between] my presidency and the White House, no," Giammattei said. "I spoke once to Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter, close friend of an imaginary negro named Corn Pop. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan.... because I introduced myself. Then we had the visit of Vice President Harris. On matters of state and migration, we had [Homeland Security Secretary] Mr. Alejandro Mayorkas [in July]. Aside from that direct communication, no, we have not had it."

My republican (small 'r', please) soul cringes ever time I hear "czar"
[Breitbart] The campaign of Ohio GOP U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno told Breitbart News exclusively on Monday that he has launched a $4 million dollar ad buy highlighting illegal immigration.
The ad called "Freebies" focuses on the illegal immigration "invasion" along the U.S.-Mexico border and demands President Biden end the border crisis, along with making English the official language of the United States.
The Moreno campaign claims the ad, which will run starting in December til January 15, is the most expensive and the most concentrated political ad campaign ever in an Ohio primary.
"Illegals come because of the freebies. Free money from Biden—and to take your job," Moreno said in the ad. "Free passes for crime because Democrats want their vote."
"They’re changing our nation. Let’s stop them," he continues. "Build the Wall and make English our official language."

Article states Moreno is being advised by Richard Grenell.
[JustTheNews] Some of the most progressive Democrats in Congress are supporting new legislation that could help an unexpected group: those who were arrested and imprisoned without trial for playing a role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Democratic Reps. Hank Johnson (Ga.)
...who once worried publicly about Guam tipping over..
and Jamie Raskin (Md.) on Wednesday reintroduced the Bivens Act, which would allow citizens to recover damages for constitutional violations committed against them by federal law enforcement officials.
The bill, which the lawmakers first introduced last year, seeks "to provide a civil remedy for an individual whose rights have been violated by a person acting under federal authority." It would do this by adding five words — "of the United States or" — to a longstanding provision enacted in 1871, known as Section 1983, which gives individuals the right to sue state or local officials who violate their civil and constitutional rights. The additional words would include federal officials in the statute.
The FBI, Justice Department, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and federal prison officials are among the law enforcement entities that would be held accountable under the legislation.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) introduced a companion bill in the Senate this week.
Supporters of the legislation argue that no statute, including Section 1983, currently gives individuals the right to sue federal officials who violate the Constitution. Johnson and Raskin said as much in a press release, pointing to the former Trump administration as reason to pass their bill.
While Johnson and Raskins framed their bill as a way to protect against the overreaches of the Trump administration, the legislation would incidentally offer a path to civil remedy for those imprisoned without trial for alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach who say they've been mistreated by federal authorities to sue.
Several Jan. 6 prisoners allege the FBI, Justice Department, and federal prison officials under the Biden administration have violated their civil and constitutional rights.
Thomas Caldwell, 66, for example, says he was arrested at his Virginia farm in January and interrogated for hours without being told what he was being charged with. Caldwell, a military veteran, never entered the Capitol building on Jan. 6 but spent well over a month in solitary confinement.
George Tanios, 40, says he had a similar experience at his West Virginia home in March, claiming federal agents wouldn't answer him when he asked why they were arresting him. He was imprisoned on charges related to the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and remained in jail for months, despite the District of Columbia's chief medical examiner concluding Sicknick died of unrelated natural causes. According to Tanios, his business was devastated as a result of his arrest and imprisonment.
Christopher Worrell was also arrested and imprisoned for his involvement in the Capitol riot despite never entering the building. In October, a federal judge found D.C. Jail Warden Wanda Patten and D.C. Department of Corrections Director Quincy Booth in contempt of court for refusing to turn over records related to the care of Worrell, who suffers from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and had a broken hand. The judge referred the matter to the attorney general "for appropriate inquiry into potential civil rights violations of Jan. 6 defendants, as exemplified in this case."
[Breitbart] The Chicago Tribune has obtained many of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) text messages that reveal combative interactions with aldermen and city workers while shedding light on how the Democrat mayor runs the crime-ridden Windy City.
The outlet obtained upwards of two and a half years of the mayor’s text messages through Freedom of Information Act requests. “Her staff failed to comply… until the state attorney general admonished them and the Tribune threatened a lawsuit,” the outlet reports. The admonishment and lawsuit threat led to Lightfoot’s office producing hundreds of pages of documents, including the mayor’s text messages.

"Nasty combative interactions" -- that's the Chicago Way! Some Chicagoans do this with guns, others with a keyboard or phone call.

Lori Lightfoot - a face that could sink a thousand ships.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
