Isn't it interesting that Trump DIDN'T say his roving biker gangs would stop white nationalists?

Anyone else find it odd that Trump threatens to deploy tough military, police, and biker gangs against Democrats but not against white nationalist terrorists?

What's the matter? Are his tough guys too chicken to go against guys who are certain to shoot back? Or is it because they have the same skin color and similar politics? Or maybe a little bit of both?

I used to work with a guy who was a "Biker for Trump". I didn't know him really well, and eventually he left the place to move to less liberal pastures, but I overheard him telling someone that the Bikers were showing up to some place where Black Lives Matter was having a demonstration (he himself shied about going along). Anyway, I thought this was a very "night rider" thing to do.

I live in an area where there are some great roads for biking, and I've seen and met many bikers. I've liked some of them. I even dated a motorcyclist in the past. It's an enviable culture. There are also a number of bikers of color - I see them often when I'm out driving. But the culture is known for being friendly toward racists - you don't have to look too hard to see bikes with Confederate flags on them.

They never have to carry an entire person, just the asshole.

After several incidents where injury and death were caused by dumb bikers in the Hell’s Angels club, it was decided that something had to be done to prevent re-occurrence. They decided to use the icon 81 which could be said to represent the eight and first (H and A) letters in the alphabet for Hell’s Angels. Many of the members had 81 tattooed on themselves. Actually, it was to remind the members that before a group of them went on a “run,” they had to have a combined IQ of 81. That is why you always see so many of them riding together.
