More On The Texas Trump Trucks Harrassment Here:

WATCH: Texas Trump supporters surround and harass Biden campaign bus headed to Austin rally - RawStory

Multiple videos and images captured the bus being dangerously harassed by trucks. Dr. Eric Cervini, an author who says he flew to Texas to join the tour, said that he called the police as he witnessed the drivers’ behavior. According to him, the Trump supporters actively attempted to drive the bus off the road, and one officer on the scene wearing Thin Blue Line apparel refused to intervene, saying, “Not my jurisdiction.”

Stupid brute force!

I have a weird thought sometimes: maybe it will turn out drumpers are descendants of Neanderthals, while the rest of us homo sapiens?

The Neanderthals had empathy. They took care of their sick and injured, and mourned their dead. Calling the Trumpsters Neanderthals is an insult to Neanderthals.

Aristus. I was hoping someone here would know more than I do about Neanderthals!

Love that stuff - anthropology and such like that, too.

Did not know that about Neanderthals. I started to read the book "Sapiens" by Harari a couple years ago but found it too depressing (basically, they everything they touch, dies...). Maybe in the future...

See: Chicago police riot 1968.

See also: Sheriff of Nottingham.

Law enforcement always supports right-wing establishment power and wealth. That's why the sheriff of Nottingham is an archetypal character.

Oct 2020

Joe Biden campaigners were forced to cancel an event in Texas on Friday as tensions flared in the key battleground state ahead of election day.

Local Democrats said they were forced to pull the plug on a gathering scheduled to take place in Pflugerville – a small city about 17 miles north of Austin – due to "security reasons".

It came as vice-presidential candidate, senator Kamala Harris, completed a whistle-stop three-city tour of the Lone Star state in a last-minute bid for votes.

Traditionally a Republican stronghold, the battle for Texas's 38 electoral college votes is likely to go down to the wire.

This for me was the most scariest moment of the campaign. How the hell was this allowed to happen.

I have a awful feeling that the next few days will get worse.
