Trump says the election is rigged — and his supporters are furious

...And if Trump doesn’t win, some are even openly talking about violent rebellion and assassination, as fantastical and unhinged as that may seem.

“If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it,” Dan Bowman, a 50-year-old contractor, said of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. “We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”

He then placed a Trump mask on his face and posed for pictures.
...
“Trump said to watch you precincts. I’m going to go, for sure,” said Steve Webb, a 61-year-old carpenter from Fairfield, Ohio.

“I’ll look for . . . well, it’s called racial profiling. Mexicans. Syrians. People who can’t speak American,” he said. “I’m going to go right up behind them. I’ll do everything legally. I want to see if they are accountable. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous.”
...
“We’re going to have a lot of election fraud,” said Jeannine Bell Smith, 65-year-old longtime teacher in a red Trump shirt with a bucket of popcorn under her arm. “They are having illegals vote. In some states, you don’t need voter registration to vote.”

After a prayer is said and the national anthem sung, she leans in.

“We can’t have that lying bitch in the White House,” she said.

[SHRED]

1. Ugly inbreds

Hate is what and who they are.

[tblue37]

2. This is the very DEFINITION of voter intimidation, and it IS illegal:

". . . I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous.”

[redwitch]

6. Such FINE Americans!

I am appalled.

[George II]

3. On the other hand, the nutcases said similar things and threatened similar acts....

.....if that "n*" was elected President in 2008. Thankfully nothing happened.

[RKP5637]

51. Luckily nothing happened, but they are probably far better connected this time and they have an

insane leader, Trump, who is probably not going away.

[vercetti2021]

4. Lord

I think Obama needs to have the FBI and secret service on high alert after the election is over. This is getting too out of hand and over this POS bloat cheeto man.

[anamandujano]

41. and the National Guard

[RKP5637]

52. Just how far can Trump go. He is literally calling for a rebellion against the US government as

he continues to distance himself from the government.

[vercetti2021]

68. Remind's me of another figure from history

General Robert E Lee.

[RKP5637]

72. Yes, he does. n/t

[chelsea0011]

5. You think they are upset now, wait and see how pissed they will be if Trump gets elected,

and the Republican Party tries to impeach him within a year so Pence can be President.

[LiberalLovinLug]

46. the GOP are way too cowardly to do that

They'll all come groveling back to the Don and line up behind Christie and Giuliani. Because IF Trump wins, it means their base, and, sickeningly, the majority of voting Americans as well, are behind him and they have to jump back in the boat or be left behind.

[Mc Mike]

7. I just watched Trevor Noah's 10/13 show

where dRumpf's crowd all said they didn't care about anything he said or did that appeared to run counter to the values and norms all regular human Americans hold. It was an interesting short clip, seeing their statements, and looking at the supporters themselves.

Their party always threatens civil war, as a subtext for their political campaigns. Let's see them try to pull an Oregon Bundy move. They've always been around, their numbers aren't at Hilter's magic 10%, and real Americans hate their guts. That's why they can't come out openly and say "I'm a big nazi, and I'm proud of it!"

His crowd are the exact same people who were cowardly bullies in the school yard. That kind always goes in threatening and murder mouthing before a fight. They have to know they won, before they go into a fight, because they're scared to death that they're going to get hurt. Every cell in their bodies is precious to them, every skin cell and drop of their blood. Their completely pain free existence is precious to them, they can't imagine feeling the slightest bit of pain or discomfort, the idea of pain is unbearable to them.

If they don't see any sign that their murder mouthing is making the "victim" quail, they don't start the fight. Because they're cowards. All nazis are cowards.

[Zoonart]

8. Old folks and BullyBros

Let's see what happens when the military is called up to put down the insurrection and real bullets start flying.

The problem with these folks is that they seem unable to think logically. They don't project forward in to the time-line of revolution and weigh the consequences, both to themselves and the country they profess to love.

[GreydeeThos]

9. Just another proud Deplorable

Doing what Deplorables do best

[Helen Borg]

10. OKAY, army and national guard on alert, please.

This will be ugly, but hopefully there are factions disagreeing on what to do and they will just shoot at each other.

[DFW]

11. People who can't speak American?

Well that comprises about 99% of the population of the United States. Most of us speak English. English is from England, which is part of Europe. Many other millions speak Spanish. Spain, too, is part of Europe. If you speak Navajo, Lakota, Cherokee, Hopi, Tlingit, Nahuatl, Apache, THEN you speak "American." I doubt anyone named Steve Webb from Ohio knows one word of any American language.

[RKP5637]

53. K&R!!! n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

59. That one hit me, too...

the ignorance is thick in this country.

[yallerdawg]

12. There is a place for Trump's "movement."

[RKP5637]

54. Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[The Wielding Truth]

13. Is voter intimidation legal?

[gademocrat7]

14. These people are deplorable.

The stupidity and hate that consumes them is unreal.

[LiberalFighter]

15. If the election was rigged he would not have won the primaries.

[BlueStater]

16. Poor sick, twisted idiots.

They're going to get themselves killed. I just hope they don't take down any innocent people with them.

[geek tragedy]

17. Nihilistic rage monsters nt

[Blue Idaho]

18. All Hat No Cattle.

There are some folks sitting in Oregon's fine prison system that can tell you how an open revolt against the government works out. Especially if you decide to take over government property.

[Botany]

19. Sorry asshole you can't do this .....

“Trump said to watch you precincts. I’m going to go, for sure,” said Steve Webb, a 61-year-old carpenter from Fairfield, Ohio.

******

I have done election protection work in OH for years now and this guy can not and will not be allowed to
do what he spoke of and I really hope he tries this crap where I will be working.

BTW "People who can’t speak American.”

"In some states, you don’t need voter registration to vote.” The stupid it burns.

BTW Steve Webb is now a person of interest to our side.

[INdemo]

20. OMG..This doesnt happen is the United States??

“We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”

But wait this is the United States and people are issuing threats.(criminal actions. Is the Secret Service investigating?)
Check the World History folks.
These words spoken by these Trump supporters sound like we are back int the 1930's ..........
This is sad to see this happening.This is tearing at the core of our Democracy.

Republicans should remember what happen to us in 2000..we didn't like it but we moved on without any threats against GW.
This happened again to us in 2004 when another election was stolen. We did not like it but we moved on.

[Rose Siding]

28. That he talks like that is a pretty stunning example of white privilege

Any other color and HE'D be demanding the speaker be jailed.

[Marthe48]

21. Voter registration in ALL 50 states

and several territories:

https://vote.gov/?1


What the hell does she teach? I bet it isn't American Government or Civics.

[Rose Siding]

31. She's a teacher. That struck me too.

-Or at least that's what she told the reporter.

[Lucky Luciano]

40. Probably home schooling her kids and calling herself a teacher. nt

[Botany]

36. Well God bless her heart

After all she is worried about the big problem we have in OH w/Syrian refugees.
We have 82 ..... http://www.whio.com/news/national-govt--politics/syrian-refugees-resettled-ohio-none-dayton-area/3xIy97TQ1A1jIXD3lB5miO/

From the article


Joe Cecil, a 39-year-old restaurant manager, said he has never voted before but is newly
inspired by Trump.

“If people are offended by the sexual stuff, what do they think is going to happen when
Muslims come here, implement Sharia law, and start raping our women?” he asks.

[Ford_Prefect]

22. ...And the NRA is devoting HUGE amounts to his campaign.

I guess you'd have to say that sponsorship does promote dividends.

[Emilybemily]

23. That is the definition of stupid.

They give their names to a newspaper and talk about bloodshed and say they are going to threaten people. Dump's supporters must have the collective IQ of a clump of dirt.

[Rose Siding]

26. So many of the stringers on his campaign bend over backwards...

in TV interviews I've seen to say that the people they talk with at rallies are "regular". I'm just thrilled to see this write up about how nutty they've actually become. Those reporters just have to scratch the surface to find this in any of them committed enough to even attend one of his events.

[neeksgeek]

24. Unreal

"I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous.”

Voter intimidation is illegal, asshole. Not to mention threatening murder and insurrection.

"There's going to be a lot of bloodshed."

Oh, really? Who are you going to kill first? Blacks? Mexicans? Interracial couples? Non-Protestants? Muslims in particular? Liberal professors? Trade unionists? Jews? The disabled? Women who won't take sexual abuse with a "grin-and-bear-it" attitude? People with different opinions? Left-handed people?

And you're going to do it all with that cross around your neck, too. Sigh.

And then - make no mistake - some of those people will fight back. And some of you will die too. And the country will go up in flames. And it isn't even really about the election. It will all be because you can't stand for there to be anybody who isn't Just. like. You.

It's just sad.

[Firestorm49]

25. Deplorable Intellect is an Understatement!!!

Again, and unfortunately, we witness the deplorable,yet inevitable, grade school intellect of the Trump base. Perhaps they would prefer to forgo the election completely and just install their fascist, misogynistic , ego- maniacle, racist - and I use the word loosely- "candidate" into office. Heil Trump! I can only gloat at the complete and total destruction of the Republican Party, yet at the same time, feel sorry for America to have to accept this farce of a candidate. To quote Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda, " What Morons!"

[meadowlark5]

27. People have been making comparisons to the last few days of Trump's speeches to Jim Jones

That kind of Messiah, we're persecuted by the world and the govt. complex.

Too bad Trump wouldn't hand out some kool-aid at the end and cleanse our population from some of the hate and ignorance. Steve Schmidt refers to it as intellectual rot. And he is not kidding.

[TonyPDX]

29. They're too ignorant to know the difference. Many are too stupid to register.

I'm not concerned.

[Firestorm49]

33. Agreed

SPOT ON!!!!!

[rtracey]

30. rigged?

rigged? not even had the election yet and its rigged. Thats the voice of a shitstain that knows the ship is sinking...

[world wide wally]

32. So, to summarize:

They love our country so much.
We are free to vote, but if we don't vote the way they want. They will burn the country down to save it
Is that about it?
Now, how do you argue with that?

[Rose Siding]

35. Right? Because 'rumors'. From the article-

His supporters here said they plan to go to their local precincts to look for illegal immigrants who may attempt to vote. They are worried that Democrats will load up buses of minorities and take them to vote several times in different areas of the city. They’ve heard rumors that boxes of Clinton votes are already waiting somewhere.

If they'll believe anything Trump says, they'll believe anything.

[bucolic_frolic]

34. It would be a Civil War of the misinformed

There might be local pockets that create headlines

but they're going nowhere

[NAO]

37. "...people who can't speak 'American'..."

The level of ignorance and stupidity never ceases to amaze.

[BainsBane]

38. This isn't the first we've heard about rigged elections

even directly from a candidate. The Trump case highlights how irresponsible it is to use such allegations for political gain.

[mdbl]

39. Arent Terroristic threats a criminal offense

why are we not throwing these weirdos in jail?

[cstanleytech]

44. Because not all threats warrant charges, some are just the oddball nutjob ranting like Ted Nugent.nt

[BumRushDaShow]

47. But then Nugent got some Secret Service visits too

for running off at the mouth... So sometimes that is enough to tamp some of "teh crazies" down a notch.

[cstanleytech]

60. And some of those people in the article may be getting such a visit as well. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

63. Yup. eom

[anamandujano]

42. At least the nuts see the polls and Trump knows beyond a doubt he has lost.

I would love to have Trump served with a long ton of subpoenas on election night so everyone will know where he will be for the next several months or years, in court.

[cstanleytech]

43. Boy that is sure alot of stupid. nt

[Kablooie]

48. A lot of stupid with a lot of guns, though.

[alcibiades_mystery]

45. Deplorable

[Amonester]

49. There are Laws against "committing murders" for ANY motive!

"We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed."

That deploRable doesn't know that? Revolution for his Don Caligula to reign like a dictatoR?? Against the most powerful military machine in the world?

He's off his meds...

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

50. I wish Hillary hadn't apologized

These people are truly deplorable. Racist homophobes with tin-foil hats firmly in place.
And they truly pose a threat to the country, on election day and on through Hillary Clinton's administration.
I hope the Secret Service is keeping tabs on the lunatic leadership of the Trumpies.

[RKP5637]

57. Hillary, was absolutely correct!!! n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

73. They're proud of being callef deplorable, apparently. That's how stupid these people are.

Proud Deplorable
Deplorable Lives Matter.

Hiw cute...

[forest444]

55. They ARE rigged - by Republican governors and the Extreme Court, and in favor of the GOP.

As for their "fury" - just let'em try it.

[Fluke a Snooker]

56. I am more scared of Trump voters than any other group

Trump voters, just like their party, are unhinged, and need to be watched carefully.

[Sunlei]

58. trump should teach them how to hump chairs to releave that 'anger'

[Rex]

61. Proof cons don't live in reality - what election?

He mean the one that hasn't happened yet? Cons live is a strange violent world of rambo jesus.

[Ilsa]

62. I think we need to infiltrate their rallys and document

Behavior and people and their racist props. Follow-up and grab screenshots of facebook pages.

[BumRushDaShow]

64. The organizations "Rightwing Watch" and the SPLC already do this

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/

https://www.splcenter.org/

[Ilsa]

65. Thanks. I didn't know that they

are so well organized. I'm pleased they are collecting evidence.

[miyazaki]

67. I'd almost like to see one of them try to intimidate me

I'll make a bigger scene than they hoped for.
MotherF*ckers!

[HenryJ]

69. Is "advocating violent overthrow" still illegal? n/y

[adigal]

70. I wonder what school Jeannine Bell Smith teaches in

I'd love to see her lose her job and pension. She should NOT be teaching kids.

[oberliner]

71. "She should be in prison or shot"

Shot??

[Egnever]

75. People who can’t speak American
