CNN showed his truck and trailer in their live feed with his business name and phone number clearly visible on the trailer. They reported him as being part of the protesters blocking the road with his vehicle. He's received threatening phone calls as well as others cancelling business with him over it. So far, no on-air apology from CNN

Any chance this guy should speak with an attorney? The media should not be allowed to publish false information and ruin peoples lives. If it were me I would be making calls and trying to get this story heard by as many people as possible. CNN = absolute garbage and needs to be destroyed.

What can this guy do?

The rules shenanigans is well afoot . . .

Roger Stone said, '“In a number of states, the Republican chairman is essentially placing non-Trump people into Trump delegate slots,” Stone said on Breitbart News Daily. “Under the party rules, anyone can register to be a delegate. You don’t have to really be ‘a Trump supporter.’ While those delegates would be bound by the results of primaries or caucuses to vote for Trump on the first ballot, they are not bound on procedural matters like the rules.”

“So, the idea is to have a majority against Trump prior to the first ballot, which you could essentially lay the groundwork for the big steal, by passing as they did to Ron Paul three years ago, rules that are detrimental to Trump, or by unseating Trump delegates,” he said. “The rules committee could theoretically say, states that allowed Democrats and independents to vote without changing their registration to Republican — those delegates would be disallowed.”

Stone declared the GOP convention will be an all-out brawl between party insiders and Trump supporters.

“I think it’s going to be a barn burner. I used to think that if Trump got to 1,237 [delegates] that would be the ball game,” Stone said. “By the way, I think that’s still possible, but not definite. He’s got to get 57 percent of the 1,009 delegates still available going forward, of which 217 are in winner-take-all states.”

“I now believe that even if he gets to 1,237, they’re going to play games with the rules and the credentials if they have control of those committees,” he added. “Remember, those committees are made up by two members from each state, selected by the state’s party chairman. So you don’t know, in states where Trump swept the primary, that the party chairman is going to send copacetic people for Trump to the committees. In fact, it is unlikely.”

“You’re not going to know until you get there,” Stone continued. “The rules of the committee, the rules of the convention were only adopted for the previous convention and they expire prior to this convention.”

The rule used to disqualify Ron Paul from the first ballot, Rule 40-B, “will expire, and can either be renewed, replaced, revised, or completely repealed,” Stone said. “On the other hand, you may have new, noxious rules that may be detrimental to Trump. I can think of half a dozen that could be passed. But that’s where the real fight will be. The test vote will be on a rules or credentials matter, and then you’ll know who’s going to win on the first ballot.”

Stone warned earlier on Monday that Trump must beware of “Trojan horse” delegates that will knee-cap Trump by maneuvering to change the rules in the fourth quarter:

These hard-boiled pols know the nomination will be decided not on the first ballot, but in a series of procedural votes by the entire convention to adopt the rules of the convention as recommended by the Rules Committee and the seating of the delegates as recommended by the Credentials Committee. Those key committees are made up by two members from each state. The bosses have been quietly planting establishment regulars in these spots.

The Trump camp has been inattentive to this process. The party kingmakers may have the votes to knee-cap Trump in the rules and credentials committees, as they did Congressman Ron Paul in 2012.

The kingmakers have planned to steal the nod from Donald Trump.

Now they party insiders want to make sure they have a working majority on the floor for the passage of their “license to steal.” Republican state chairs are planting Trojan Horse delegates into slots won by Trump on the first ballot to vote with them on procedural votes to pass the Rules and Credentials Reports that will seal the “Big Steal.” This is going on in Texas, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, North Dakota, and other states.

Though these “Trump” delegates will be bound by national and state rules to support Trump through the first ballot at the convention, they are free to vote against Trump’s interests on the adoption of Rules and the seating of delegates. It’s entirely plausible that a state could seat delegates pledged to support Donald Trump who have open affiliations with other candidates. In California, Cruz and Paulistas are signing up online via CA’s GOP website as Trump delegates.

. . .

Much in the way the RNC stacked the galleries with anti-Trump partisans in the last two debates, anti-Trump quislings are be planted in various delegations that will be free to betray Trump on procedural matters and subsequent ballots'" LINK

Well, as I said, the rules game is very much a part of the Republican primary sport.

Trump needs to get well over the line to try to box things in. I hope he does for the sake of the party. By potentially nullifying cross-over voters through the rules as is being suggested, the Republican party is rejecting the Reagan Democrats that Republicans have said Republicans wanted and need.

Cruz needs to wipe the overconfident grin off his face due to his belief that if he's close, he'll be able to use his stealth delegates to win it at convention. The Rules Committee can also target his "victories" to negate his perceived advantage - all before the convention starts. The GOPe has a "stealth delegate" program too.

And, Kasich seems oblivious. He reminds me of the over-confident guy from Die Hard who said, "Hans, boubie, I'm your white knight." Kasich may just well meet the same metaphorical fate at convention.

And just who are some of the GOPe floating? None other than Rick Perry. Why not just recycle Dan Quayle?

So, the GOPe is pulling out all the stops to make sure that HillHag has an easy ride to the White House ?

If this is the plan, then I think they are going to see a backfire of epic proportions.

Epic. Proportions.

Epic.

Is the Republican Party trying to lose this election on purpose or is the leadership really this fucking stupid.

Yes

Seems that somebody should assemble and publish a list of names and addresses for those wishing to play these games.

The Leadership is that arrogant.

The rats are clinging to the sinking ship.

I think they are trying to "win," not lose. It is just that their definition is out of step with the voters and in step with the status quo. Even a Democrat may be a "win" for some of them.

This convention in Cleveland is going to be a real shitshow between the GOP establishment plotters trying to steal this from Trump and all the BLM and other protest groups trying to shut it down.

Most folks on this board understand the concept of the "rice bowl" Mr. Trump appears to threaten a LOT of rice bowls. Fascinating to watch.

Sen. Jeff Sessions to head Trump's foreign policy team.

http://www.al.com/news/index.s...ml#incart_river_home

The bond between Republican presidential nominee frontrunner Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama is getting stronger.

Trump on Monday introduced Sessions as the head of his foreign policy advisory team during a meeting with The Washington Post, the newspaper reported on its website.

Sessions also arranged for Trump to meet with Republican leaders in Washington on Monday as well.

Trump also named other members of his foreign policy advisory team that Sessions will lead: Walid Phares, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Joe Schmitz and retired Gen. Keith Kellogg.

Trump told the newspaper there would be more names announced as part of the team.

The relationship between Sessions and Trump has fueled heavy speculation that Sessions would be in line for a position in Trump's administration should he be elected president in November.

ABC News over the weekend listed Sessions as one of seven candidates to be Trump's vice president.

Trump earlier this month named Sessions as head of the campaign's National Security Advisory Committee.

Tubetone I really enjoy reading you post.
Trump/Cruz is the only winning ticket nothing else, Cruz need to get his head out of his ass. The more he fight with Trump the more it show he is into this all for himself.
People criticize Trump let me ask you a question, if you have all the Trump f you money will you put yourself and you family through all these crap? Is his life better or worse than before? He can continue to play the game and profit from both party, why risk of taking side and get hammer by every party, news media and even all over the world.

Any news on how today's meeting of Trump and the GOPe went? I've seen bupkis.

A few treats from the innerwebs, from the all those angry white Trump fans:

Trump made some crack about Fauxcahontas (aka Lie-awatha, aka Chief Sitting Bull-shit) and elicited these and other responses... Must have hit a trigger word (snicker):

See the post immediately above yours, and immediately below.

To which I would add-- and sorry for the repetition, I have said this before, I know-- it is no stretch at all to imagine the leadership of the GOP saying, "Let them eat cake." I always wondered how the French aristocracy could be so out of touch, so haughty and arrogant? And the answer is: George Will. Charles Krauthammer. Reince Priebus. William Kristol....

George Will might as well have been in a wig and silk stockings at the court of Louis XVI when he said: “Trump supporters need to come into the Republican Party on our terms, not theirs." Then he snorted snuff off the back of his hand, and went out to dance the quadrille.

The music was so loud he couldn't hear the bang bang bang of hammers building the guillotines.

The hubris is astonishingly high, even for federal politicians.

Color me a little surprised.

If only they always had such balls and treated true enemies like this.
