Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

Personally, I woulda just turned on my blinkers and moved over to exit the freeway. If the Trumpers refused to move, that's their problem, and legally, their fault for impeeding the flow of traffic.

According to Trumpsters, it's perfectly fine to use your vehicle as a battering ram and instrument of death if people are impeding traffic. So they should have just plowed full speed into those beta cucks.

They would have ben shot.

Not when it's done by off duty cops. Or its the nephew of the county sheriff.

ACAB And cop families are usually assholes too.

Notice these guys are driving on the shoulders, trying to PIT the biden car. These are cop manuevers.



Maybe its this civil war already. Viscous assholes in their small penis vehicles.

Regardless of who does it, it’s illegal. Cops, especially off-duty ones, don’t get to go around ramming people’s cars.

I don't know where you live, but where I am you're not legally obliged to move over just because someone puts on their signal. I don't think it would matter though, as it would seem that the behavior displayed would constitute "Obstructing Highway or Other Passageway, Disrupting Meeting or Procession, and Stalking" at minimum under texas' penal code.

WTF are you both talking about? There's nobody on the shoulder. Nobody's trying to PIT the bus. Are you both watching a different video?

From the previously linked independent article:

"Armed Trump trolls harassing Biden Bus on I-35, ramming volunteer vehicles & blocking traffic for 40 mins," he said, before accusing Mr Trump's son Eric of inciting "violence".

[eschatological]

I’d imagine stopping up traffic and pulling a vehicle over at gunpoint is all kinds of prosecutable.

It's a direct threat to someone under USSS protection. Harris, the potential Veep, was on that bus. If the cops aren't going to respond, I hope the Secret Service is irate.

They literally rammed vehicles and swung swords around...

They were trying to PIT one of the Biden cars, not the bus.

I hope this tips Texas to Biden... enough is enough...

Edit: The story is going National... local fox affiliates, Forbes, Daily Beast and MSN are now reporting it...

[eschatological]

I hope this tips Texas to Biden... enough is enough...

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

In these last days of the election I find myself reading a lottttt of stuff to keep my spirits bolstered. Frankly, at this point, I need this election to reinvigorate my faith...in America itself. This event should be a stark indicator to any conscientious voter, yet the comments in the tweet I linked are full of gloating Texans/Republicans gleefully rubbing their hands together.

They would have ben shot.

So your choices are "possible death" and "possible death".

I choose: EPIC possible death.

538 says there's a 60% chance Biden is declared the winner by 3am.

Please, God, let it be true.

The issue isn't that they weren't moving over. The issue is that they were matching speed to prevent the Biden Bus from moving over. The Biden Bus can always speed up or slow down (the latter is a great way to get killed), and the Trump cars would (and likely did but we don't have video from 100% of the time) have matches speed to prevent the Biden Bus from exiting the highway.

Which is basically the definition of obstructing the flow of traffic.

Further, if the Biden Bus had turned on their emergency flashers, then other vehicles are REQUIRED to get out of their way.

EST or PST? It was obvious Trump won at about 9 PM EST on Nov 6...

Harris was not on the bus. Several other Democrat leaders like Representative Doggett were, though.

[Ripster42]

The issue isn't that they weren't moving over.

That's what it would have been in your hypothetical as you explained it: turn on blinkers, them not moving over. The rest of your post, yes, I agree with. I literally pulled up texas' legal code to show that there was no need to bring a hypothetical into the situation: they were already breaking the law.

so basically 60% chance it won't come down to wisconsin and pennsylvania being the deciding factor.

Ah, sorry I didn't see your green text in your post.
