If you don't know what it means, you need to understand "Vote Harvesting" aka "Ballot harvesting"

this is where so called 'volunteers' go door to door TO THOSE REGISTERED DEMOCRAT and collect ballots which were never mailed.

"Good afternoon, I can collect your ballot if you haven't mailed it yet."

I think anyone can see the issue here.

It won't matter. It really won't.

That coastline as a strategic asset, San Diego itself and the Naval infrastructure, Long Beach, etc.

Plus California grows almost 20% of America's Produce. We're never giving up those food supplies.

The rest is hyperbole and such. I like hyperbole, too.

We were asked to stay on topic. Let's.

Not to mention the submarine bases/infrastructure in Washington is huge too.

If you wouldn't mail a $20.00 bill to yourself, then I wouldn't trust mail in voting.

Three nice examples for you. Not mail in ballots but same thing. Two happened within the last 9 months. One 9 years ago.

The oldest first. My sister mailed me a birthday card, with two $20.00 bills and a gift card to a restaurant. Still have not received it.


Back in February, I was sent my notice to renew my concealed weapons permit, I didn't receive it until last week. I didn't realize it was time to renew so I wasn't looking for it. Then it shows up and I realized my permit was expired. I called the Sheriff department, and she said that it was going to be an extra $15.00, that with the China virus there have been a few people that this has happened to and Kentucky wouldn't wave the late fees.

So, I went and renewed it last Friday, the lady at the desk called to see if she could get it (late fee) waved and it was a no go. So, I had to pay the extra $15.00, even though they knew that it has been a problem.


Second, I mailed a $500.00 money order for payment. Back in March. I got notified a month ago that they had not received payment. So I had to go to the bank and cancel the money order, and all that. It turned out to be a pain in the ass.

So no, I don't trust any vote by mail scheme, unless it's absentee and there was away to verify that they received it.

It you can go to Walmart, riot, or whatever. You can vote in person!

Once again, I am asking you guys to get off election stuff in this thread. Not another word about it. No election stuff, no mail stuff. I'm not going to be happy if I have to ask again.

The same goes for the states seceding stuff. That crap is just plain silly.

Riots, insurrection- that is the subject of this thread. Stick to it.

How about a little pick-me-up this morning? LA is not Portland.

They remind me of the Monty Python crew running away from the rabbit.

Talk about "de-incentivizing"

Good work, LAPD

It's nice to see them take effective action. Who would have thunk it?

Probably plenty of people in LA still remember the aftermath and rebuilding from the Rodney King fiasco.

Got to admit, have had little faith in LAPD since the way they handled the Nakatomi Plaza incident and had to leave it all up to the 1 NYPD Officer to handle it but they might be turning a corner

this comment made me LOL...

Do they know LAPD is 53% Latino and will be much more forceful than Portland.

Just wanted to add that was not LAPD, but LASD in action. Great video, especially that first one. I remember a term from “Generation Kill” where one of the officers was talking about the “violence of action” in manuever warfare. Hit em hard, hit em fast, and keep attacking.

LASD did a drive-by on those assholes, that's gangsta!

That is refreshing to see that a department knows how to disperse these ass holes. Instead of standing off and letting them control what happens...the LASD acted forcefully and the little shits scattered like rats.

For the record, that was LASD. Which has a very large territory and well resourced, larger than most metro departments.

Mayor Garcetti wouldn't allow LA Police to confront these anarchists but, LA Sheriff will.

Time to put the sheep-dog moniker to good use and start rounding up these assholes, there's too many squirters getting away.

Professor: "Nothing Wrong With" Murder Of Right-Wing "Fascist... From A Moral Perspective"

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...st-moral-perspective

University of Rhode Island Professor Erik Loomis appeared to defend the murder of Aaron "Jay" Danielson, the member of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, during recent social unrest in Portland, Oregon.

In 2012, Loomis came under scrutiny after he called for NRA executive Wayne LaPierre's "head on a stick" following the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.

Just weeks later, in January 2013, Loomis said, “I know the central mission of the Republican Party is to have a membership made up entirely of old rural white people."

Now, Loomis is once again under fire after publishing a blog post titled "Why was Michael Reinoehl killed?" Reinoehl is the man suspected of fatally shooting Danielson. Reinoehl was killed as federal authorities tried to arrest him.

“Michael Reinoehl is the guy who killed the fascist in Portland last week. He admitted it and said he was scared the cops would kill him. Well, now the cops have killed him," Loomis wrote in the September 4 blog post.

“I am extremely anti-conspiracy theory. But it’s not a conspiracy theory at this point in time to wonder if the cops simply murdered him. The police is [sic] shot through with fascists from stem to stern. They were openly working with the fascists in Portland, as they were in Kenosha which led to dead protestors," Loomis continued.

In the comment section of the blog post, one reader challenged Loomis by writing, "Erik, he shot and killed a guy," referring to Reinoehl.

Loomis responded by saying, “He killed a fascist. I see nothing wrong with it, at least from a moral perspective.” He further added that “tactically, that’s a different story. But you could say the same thing about John Brown.”

Loomis furthered compared Reinoehl to Brown who in the 1800s used violence as a means of fighting slavery.

One reader then asked, “What’s so great about assassinating a rando fascist? And in the absence of a sound affirmative justification, it should be easy to envision the drawbacks.”

Loomis was quick to reply with, “What’s so great about assassinating random slaveholders, said liberals to John Brown.”

In a separate comment, Loomis wrote, "the problem with violence is that it usually, though not always, is a bad idea. That I agree with."

Loomis said in another comment, "Yes, sometimes violence is necessary, say to avoid greater physical harm, i.e. self-defense, or to defeat a literal army of fascists who are trying to kill people. But, ideologically, I think the idea that violence is good if it's against our political enemies is a core part of fascism, and so the ideological opposition to that idea should be its opposite - that violence as a general rule is bad, unless the specific context of that situation requires a violent response."

Loomis made headlines Tuesday for another comment he made on Twitter. In response to MSNBC host Chris Hayes tweeting, "Trump is objectively pro-Covid," Loomis tweeted "yeah, I mean, once Republicans figured out COVID was going to affect people of color and the poor disproportionately, they stopped caring about doing anything about it."
