Trump vs Biden 2020, Ultimate battle for the fate of our universe (pt 3)Read OP 01/11

Pittsburgh Post Gazette endorse Trump which ought to help in PA.

Decent measured article.

We share the embarrassment of millions of Americans who are disturbed by the president’s unpresidential manners and character — his rudeness and put-downs and bragging and bending of the truth.

Is there any other non spammy news site source? Not saying he didn’t do it, just keen to read the story from a credible source.

The same gentlemen has also been in the news for armed patrols,

SAN ANTONIO - Police clashed with protesters late Tuesday night near the Alamo, resulting in the arrests of eight people.

In response to the protest, two armed men were patrolling the downtown area on Wednesday morning. They said they’re here to protect the Alamo and also small businesses from being damaged. They said they won’t use their weapons unless they’re put in a situation where their lives are in danger.

“Vandalizing, not so much, we will push them off will push them off as much as we can but once bricks start flying or being threatened with our lives, yeah," Eliazar Cisneros said, while patrolling.



He was also held on bond in a ternary incident in 2014 where he impersonated a police officer. At least I believe it may be the same individual, his name is slightly mispelled but also in Texas:

A 41-year-old Midland man was arrested Sunday after he impersonated a police officer and confronted an actual police detective, according to court documents.

Eleazar Cisneros was being held Monday on a $25,000 bond for a third-degree felony charge of impersonating or exerting the functions of a public servant.

A Midland police detective was in an unmarked vehicle at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday in a parking lot. Another vehicle, driven by Cisneros, pulled up next to his vehicle and parked. He approached the detective's vehicle and knocked very aggressively on the window in order to initiate contact. Cisneros told him he had cut him off with his vehicle and that he was a police officer, not knowing that the detective was a licensed peace officer.

The detective asked for Cisneros' police identification, but Cisneros said he was an undercover officer. The detective detained him and identified himself as an actual peace officer, according to the arrest affidavit.

Cisneros said he was in a police academy while being interviewed but later said he was only taking criminal justice classes, the affidavit states.

If convicted, Cisneros faces up to 10 years in prison.

Editor's Note: This story was originally published by the Midland Reporter-Telegram.

Paper is run by a Trump supporter.



The editor was on Air Force One with Trump only a few weeks a go.

Equally worrying is this meat tenderiser remark that he made.

Not sure if this is the same guy but similar behaviours tbh...

Trump leaves his supporters stranded again after a rally. Apparently Trump didn't pay the bus company. It is not like him at all to stiff a supplier.

His third appointment, Amy Coney Barrett, is the best of all — a jurist whose mind and character and scholarship ARE first class.

You know if Trump wins the WH but the GOP loses the Senate we can just impeach him again right?

need 66 votes in the Senate, so it'd require quite a bit. But, yeah, if 66 votes are there, I expect impeachment to start up in February, there's plenty (the latest being the Turkish bank business).

Still, 4 years of Pence... no thanks.

Don't forget states like Michigan only count early ballots AFTER polls have closed Tuesday.

It's possible Trump could be ahead before those are counted but he'll be blitzed as the early ballots come in.

So Trump will probably try to claim victory in some states before the early votes are counted.

Beware of that. The only reason will be to fire up his base for after the defeat.

He is going to take as many people down with him as he can - that includes voters and the public in general.

Ye I've said in a previous post that Trump is stacking the deck. If this is in any way close he will contest. I'm just not sure he will get the full backing of the GOP to do so.

If he loses Florida then he's finished. Florida is mental though. I've been there multiple times and barring the likes of Miami and one or two other areas in the state, it's without doubt one of the weirdest places I've ever been.

It's some coincidence that a lad with a history of ramming Biden supporters with his truck and who offered to "serve them a 35 in tyres" was involved in an incident where a Biden supporter was rammed with a truck.......... Probably wasn't his fault though.....

As you can see from the video, it wasn't.

Regardless of politics, what sort of moron tried to swerve in to his lane in a vehicle half the size.

Sigh. GOP Snowflake victim blaming. Pathetic after 4 years of this garbage this is what you come up with.

The lot of them with the Trump flags harrassing this bus will be talking to John Law soon enough. Stop defending their behavior before you hear the charges.

Just another of the many examples of how Trump supporters "concern over political violence" virtue signalling during the riots was nothing more than the virtue signalling lie most of us knew it was.

They're largely 100% entirely in support of political violence... against those that don't share their views.

Scandal? No. Scholarship and mind have been discussed ad nauseum, but they don't matter nowadays. Her own classmates at "Rhodes University" wrote a letter advising against confirming her.

She's by far the least qualified of the 3 Trump appointees, much less so than Kavanaugh, if you look at background, education and experience.

Axios reporting this

Trump plans to declare victory before election is called - reports

Axios, citing three anonymous sources, is reporting that Donald Trump plans to ignore the actual results of the election and declare victory if the early results show him “ahead.”

Trump has privately talked through this scenario in some detail in the last few weeks, describing plans to walk up to a podium on election night and declare he has won.

For this to happen, his allies expect he would need to either win or have commanding leads in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Iowa, Arizona and Georgia.

In response to a request for comment, Trump campaign’s communications director, Tim Murtaugh, told Axios: “This is nothing but people trying to create doubt about a Trump victory. When he wins, he’s going to say so.”

Over 2/3rds the number of votes cast in 2016 Total have been cast early already in 2020.

This is 43% of all registered voters in the United States.

This election has a 43% turnout rate already and it's not even election day. Texas is at 57% turnout already.

We also know from voter registrations that Democrats are turning out more than Republicans.

Pretty sure most of the murders related to the protests have been committed by right wingers.

Kermit.de.frog

Hard right wingers represent by far the biggest terrorist threat to the United States. That's according to the FBI.

Come on guys, I get there is plenty about trumps mind, character and scholarship to question, but putting the boot into Amy Coney Barrett just because Trumps offensive is a stretch.

ikr I mean how can you cite an anonymous source? Sure the whole point of having a source in the first place is so you can verify it's from someone credible lol. If you cite an anonymous source then YOU are the source. You're the one claiming to have established it's right.

Nonetheless if this is true holy **** these could be the last couple of relatively normal days the world sees for a while. Can you even imagine if Trump contested the results, things could escalate so fast.

We're not putting the boot into Barret because of Trump. She's plenty offensive on her own.

1. The other Judges Trump's appointed (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh) had lengthy careers and graduated tops from top Universities (Yale for example). Barrett? Notre Dame. Get real - Touchdown U. doesn't jump to mind when thinking of great law schools and isn't highly rated.
2. She was a blank during her confirmation hearings, amazingly didn't even take notes, and deflected every difficult question. Said some jaw-droppingly stupid things on serious issues like climate change, showing she doesn't understand science
3. Was a member of some extremist Catholic creepy group where the women were described as "Handmaids" until Barretts nomination got them to edit their website. Not a good look for a future SCOTUS judge
4. There's the little bit about never trying a case as a judge (she'd only been one for 1.5 years anyway)

I could go on, but she's massively unqualified. Nice summary here: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/10/amy-coney-barrett-is-the-least-experienced-supreme-court-nominee-in-30-years/

I'll say one thing in her defense: she wasn't as unqualified as Harriet Miers, who was a nominee from GWB until withdrawn due to the outcry over her amazing lack of qualifications. Much of that outcry from the GOP, in fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Miers_Supreme_Court_nomination#Nomination_issues
