couldn't have possibly done worse than the moron who started a bs warthe guard sure wasn't there protecting those vote counters from the crazy republican mobSo the National Guard is supposed to show up so that Trump protesters can start trouble?
Maybe you don't understand what our National Guard is for.
Really? So how many vote counters got hurt?
Hurt, hell. The question is how many people were needlessly killed and crippled - because President Gore wouldn't have done such stupid shit.
President Gore would have done worse.

Don't forget that Clinton voted to authorize that war. Are you going to vote for her?
Obama is twice the President that Gore would have been and Obama is the worst President in American history.

President Gore would have done worse.
How would you possibly know that? Gore would not have invaded Iraq based on lies.
Gore would have apologized to UBL for 9/11. Probably ceded a portion of United States territory as reparations to AQ.
Well in conservative bubble-land anyway.
Where memes are fairy dust that coat reality with a fine layer of hazy bullshit that smells like carnation milk and NASCAR exhaust.
Where G W Bush was a hero and the guy that ordered the killing of Bin Laden is a devil.
Where minimum wage is the only commodity that isn't allowed to go up because who gives a shit about people after they are out of the womb.
And where science is myth and myth is reality.
Obama is a devil. Killing UBL won't change that.
People who want to make more than minimum wage have a personal responsibility to learn a skill that is worth more than minimum wage and no, a college degree isn't the only way to make that happen.
Its the liberal fantasia that turns myth into scientific reality.
A band of bikers has pledged to keep protesters from disrupting Donald Trump’s rallies—at all costs.
Donald Trump has a new line of defense in his ongoing war against protesters: hundreds, if not thousands, of pro-Trump bikers ready and willing to provide extra security at his rallies.
And these barrel-chested bikers are already making some anti-Trump protesters think twice about demonstrating at these events.
There is a burgeoning political movement of bikers in America that wants to take their organization nationwide, and they’re going all in for Donald Trump. It’s an unprecedented step—bikers are a demographic that has never been tapped by a political campaign before.
Trump has embraced his biker supporters with gusto.
“My biker friends,” Trump said during a Q&A at a recent Wisconsin rally. His new friends aren’t just fans and are now pledging to provide ad hoc security at for their new hero, using violence if necessary.
Bikers for Trump, a 20,000-strong grassroots collection of motorcycle-riding supporters, has eschewed violence—at least according to its de facto leader. But it has found that its own supporters are ready to cross that line—if by their own estimation they should deem it required.
“If that means us having to protect ourselves by taking someone else’s life, that’s what we’re going to have to do,” one biker said, in a video shared by Bikers for Trump, on beefing up security.
Trump Patriots, which illustrated its group with bikers and described its purpose as “to provide outside security at all future Trump rallies and events [and] countering the paid protest[er] agitators increasing atmosphere of violence,” racked up more than 18,000 followers before it was apparently forcibly taken over by the hacktivist group Anonymous.
Ahead of a Trump rally in Janesville, an image circulated calling for bikers to “Mobilize to KICK SOME ASS!”
“The sold out rally is a target of a violent protest which has been organized to cause mayhem and havoc… but in response, Bikers For Trump are mobilizing for this and ALL future TRUMP rallies to ensure that any paid agitator protesters do not take away Mr. Trump’s right to speak, or interfere with the right of Trump supporters to safely attend. WE SHALL NOT BE SILENCED!” reads the graphic, which was signed B4T, or Bikers for Trump.
“It was scary, hearing that these bikers were coming [for Trump],” Mario Ramirez, lead organizer at the Milwaukee-based Voces de la Frontera who protested the Wisconsin Trump event, told The Daily Beast. “People felt like those people were going to try to do something bad to us. But no matter what they want to do, we will be there anyways.”
Though Trump’s swing through Janesville was in no way violence-free, the bikers and demonstrators did not ultimately clash.
Chris Cox, who founded Bikers for Trump 2016 in August, denies any involvement in creating the “KICK SOME ASS” flyer, and emphasized that neither he nor his group condones any kind of violence, and that he encourages his pro-Trump compatriots not to be “hotheaded” when dealing with activists.
“We are not looking for a fight, but at the same time, if someone starts one, we won’t back down,” he told The Daily Beast.
Cox—a 47-year-old chainsaw artist from South Carolina who was once praised by Republican congressman Darrell Issa as, “an American patriot and one-man member of the Monument Militia”—is the de facto leader and spokesman of the fledgling political movement, which aims to mobilize bikers as a legitimate, sizeable voting bloc, and (of course) to help make Trump the most powerful man in the world.
“We’re just building this coalition, and when I’m done with this demographic, it’s gonna be as strong as the… Teamsters or the NRA—we got a ground game,” Cox said. “I’ve talked to a lot of bikers to take the political temperature [of the community] and they were all for Trump… You’ve never heard of ‘Bikers for Romney.’ You’ve never heard of ‘Bikers for Nixon,’ or Clinton.”
In the coming months, Cox and his comrades will be plotting events in future primary states, including two biker rallies in New York, before eventually heading out west to California where Cox imagines “we’ll have the biggest biker political rally that’s ever been seen” in the United States.
Whether or not the organization ever does realize Cox’s vision of becoming as influential a force as the National Rifle Association or the Teamsters remains to be seen.
“9 out of 10 bikers support Trump,” the group claims. “Spread the word.”

Well, ain't that nice. What could possibly go wrong..
Well, it worked at Altamont.
Actually, his rallies have quieted down, haven't they? Not because of bikers, obviously, but because his team is booking him into smaller venues. I saw one of his rallies in Wisconsin yesterday. No interruptions. C-Span doesn't cover the parking lot, so not sure about that, but there was nothing about it on the news last night, so I'm guessing that was quiet as well. Maybe it's just because he was in Wisconsin. I do wonder what will happen when he gets to New York. Those bikers may come in handy.

Ahead of a Trump rally in Janesville, an image circulated calling for bikers to “Mobilize to KICK SOME ASS!”
“The sold out rally is a target of a violent protest which has been organized to cause mayhem and havoc… but in response, Bikers For Trump are mobilizing for this and ALL future TRUMP rallies to ensure that any paid agitator protesters do not take away Mr. Trump’s right to speak, or interfere with the right of Trump supporters to safely attend. WE SHALL NOT BE SILENCED!” reads the graphic, which was signed B4T, or Bikers for Trump.
“It was scary, hearing that these bikers were coming [for Trump],” Mario Ramirez, lead organizer at the Milwaukee-based Voces de la Frontera who protested the Wisconsin Trump event, told The Daily Beast. “People felt like those people were going to try to do something bad to us. But no matter what they want to do, we will be there anyways.”
Though Trump’s swing through Janesville was in no way violence-free, the bikers and demonstrators did not ultimately clash.
Chris Cox, who founded Bikers for Trump 2016 in August, denies any involvement in creating the “KICK SOME ASS” flyer, and emphasized that neither he nor his group condones any kind of violence, and that he encourages his pro-Trump compatriots not to be “hotheaded” when dealing with activists.
“We are not looking for a fight, but at the same time, if someone starts one, we won’t back down,” he told The Daily Beast.
Cox—a 47-year-old chainsaw artist from South Carolina who was once praised by Republican congressman Darrell Issa as, “an American patriot and one-man member of the Monument Militia”—is the de facto leader and spokesman of the fledgling political movement, which aims to mobilize bikers as a legitimate, sizeable voting bloc, and (of course) to help make Trump the most powerful man in the world.
“We’re just building this coalition, and when I’m done with this demographic, it’s gonna be as strong as the… Teamsters or the NRA—we got a ground game,” Cox said. “I’ve talked to a lot of bikers to take the political temperature [of the community] and they were all for Trump… You’ve never heard of ‘Bikers for Romney.’ You’ve never heard of ‘Bikers for Nixon,’ or Clinton.”
In the coming months, Cox and his comrades will be plotting events in future primary states, including two biker rallies in New York, before eventually heading out west to California where Cox imagines “we’ll have the biggest biker political rally that’s ever been seen” in the United States.
Whether or not the organization ever does realize Cox’s vision of becoming as influential a force as the National Rifle Association or the Teamsters remains to be seen.
“9 out of 10 bikers support Trump,” the group claims. “Spread the word.”

Well, ain't that nice. What could possibly go wrong..
Well, it worked at Altamont.
Actually, his rallies have quieted down, haven't they? Not because of bikers, obviously, but because his team is booking him into smaller venues. I saw one of his rallies in Wisconsin yesterday. No interruptions. C-Span doesn't cover the parking lot, so not sure about that, but there was nothing about it on the news last night, so I'm guessing that was quiet as well. Maybe it's just because he was in Wisconsin. I do wonder what will happen when he gets to New York. Those bikers may come in handy.
Troublemakers are not just local. Some will travel across the US just to attend such a rally and cause trouble. This biker movement is a good thing in my opinion.
I've got nothing against bikers as a general rule, although the clubs getting rich selling drugs are on my shit list. I don't think too many protesters will drive across the country to harass Trump. They don't have to. There will be plenty of chagrined people wherever he goes. I think it's pretty amusing that some of you big, tough guys are believing the protesters to be some kind of shadow army. They're a bunch of loud mouthed whipper snappers with nothing better to do an a given afternoon. Relax a little.
