Biden Confused by Free Speech
Evidence provided by Biden campaign of terrifying protesters flying American flags on a public highway, new Covid-19 restrictions expected in response.
“Rather than engage in productive conversation about the drastically different visions that Joe Biden and Donald Trump have for our country, Trump supporters in Texas today instead decided to put our staff, surrogates, supporters, and others in harm’s way,” Biden campaign Texas communications director Tariq Thowfeek told news outlets, confirming several events would be canceled in the state.
“Our supporters will continue to organize their communities for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot, and to the Texans who disrupted our events today: We’ll see you on November 3rd,” Thowfeek said. The campaign also told other news outlets that the events were canceled out of an abundance of caution.
In some reports, Biden personnel claim a minor collision between a protester vehicle and a Biden staff vehicle, and an attempt to run the bus off the road. Police wrote no tickets, made no arrests, and no vehicles were run off the road or disabled. It’s not like they were traveling in a lawless wasteland like Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Oakland….
After billions in damage, dozens of murders, hundreds of burned-out city blocks, thousands of shuttered businesses, and millions of jobs destroyed by his astroturf rioters, Joe has finally discovered where he draws the line on free speech. Antifa is just an idea. Texans, though, Texans are obviously extremist terrorists. The man who has tacitly supported the use of frozen bottles, Molotov cocktails, and laser weapons with impunity against America’s police now draws a line.
Don’t forget to vote.
PS: CNN reports that the FBI is investigating this incident as harassment. They are already preparing for the new order.

Typical. He cannot answer facts or hard questions.
But, I expect he got busy. My guess is, that if he was going to bow out, he would have ostentatiously say so.
I do have a full time job, and I have a trial this morning.
I just wanted to point out that “We Hope In God” is almost certainly not where the term Whig came from.
Backronym etymologies are false approximately 100% of the time.
So basically, the name comes from exactly the sort of people Gary holds in contempt. .
From Wikipedia, but probably correct anyway: The term Whig was originally short for whiggamor, a term meaning “cattle driver” used to describe western Scots who came to Leith for corn. It’s use in British politics goes back to 1678. They were allies to the patriots in the American Revolution, the patriots being often referred to as American or Continental Whigs or, by the Tories, Radical Whigs. After independence, the term was revived in 1830 with a new American Whig Party.
It was coined long before acronyms were fashionable.
And calling Trump and Trumpers “Brownshirts” is beyond the pale.
N Trump projection again I guess.
Browncoats though I’m fine with.

I’m into blackshorts myself.
