I don’t want to know what “Elevenses” would mean in this context.

Here’s a reminder from Amy Coney Barrett to set your clocks back. It’s on her agenda, and she’ll likely be setting them back by more than an hour…
This is violence, hitting people with cars is violence. All Republicans need to denounce this political violence

Welcome to the richest country in the third world, where armed thugs in trucks take part in campaign interference and voter intimidation as the police willfully ignore the illegality.
From KEYE, a CBS news affiliate in Austin:
The Biden bus has also been closely followed by Trump supporters while on the road, though Texas Democrats insist their presence didn’t affect their decision to call off the downtown Austin rally.

In Pflugerville, Texas House Representative Sheryl Cole tweeted the Biden bus was supposed to make a stop there with the Austin Young Democrats but she wrote they, too, had to cancel–but due to security reasons.
“Pro-Trump Protesters have escalated well beyond safe limits,” she posted.
She quoted a tweet from Texas House Rep Rafael Anchía, who claimed “Armed Trump trolls harassing Biden Bus on I-35, ramming volunteer vehicles & blocking traffic for 40 mins.”

Multiple videos and images captured the bus being dangerously harassed by trucks. Dr. Eric Cervini, an author who says he flew to Texas to join the tour, said that he called the police as he witnessed the drivers’ behavior. According to him, the Trump supporters actively attempted to drive the bus off the road, and one officer on the scene wearing Thin Blue Line apparel refused to intervene, saying, “Not my jurisdiction.”
See all these pickup trucks with Trump flags? They were sitting along I-35, waiting to ambush the Biden/Harris campaign bus as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin. 2/

The police refused to help. When I flagged down one officer, he said his hands were tied: “not my jurisdiction.” He was wearing a blue stripe bandana. 4/

While Germany still had elections and Hitler was merely a disgraced politician, his militia of Brownshirts interrupted his opponents’ political meetings and incited violence on the streets. You know what happened next. 6/

Tucker Carlson, spoiled frozen-food heir pretending to be a journalist, claims that a shipment of “damning” documents linked to Hunter and Joe Biden “mysteriously disappeared” in transit to Los Angeles.
Here’s the story, from Fox News themselves:
“We texted a producer in New York and asked him to send those documents to us in L.A, ” Carlson explained. “And he did that, so Monday afternoon of this week, he shipped the documents overnight to California with a large national carrier, a brand-name company that we’ve used, you’ve used, countless times with never a single problem.”
But the documents never arrived in Los Angeles, Carlson said.
“Tuesday morning we received word from the shipping company that our package had been opened and the contents were missing. The documents had disappeared.”
It’s strange that they wouldn’t have simply sent someone to personally take the documents with them and book a flight to Los Angeles, as one might do when one has the budget and is transporting incredibly sensitive (but not restricted) items.
There’s also the safeguard of scanning or at least photographing the documents first. And hey, we live in a time and place where everyone has a high-resolution camera/scanner/video recorder in their pocket!
And finally, there’s the receipt and tracking number. Assuming of course, the shipment existed.
Sure, you’ve heard that Reagan’s FBI director and 19 other former GOP-appointed US attorneys are backing Biden, but if you’re still undecided, this might clinch it: Nine Inch Nails have endorsed Biden.
So now you have it from NIN themselves. Vote Biden, because it’s time for Trump to bow down before the ones he’s supposed to serve.
In this new game, you don’t get the message “You have died of dysentery”. Instead, it’s “You have died of hypothermia walking back to your car after a Trump rally.”
