"SNIP...........

“House Democrats attending the Democratic National Convention next week are being advised by congressional security officials not to book hotel rooms under their own names or engage with protesters if confronted,” Axios reports.

“The guidance comes as some Democratic lawmakers are fearful about their safety after being rattled by a series of disruptive pro-Palestinian protests since the Israel-Hamas war started last year.”

..........SNIP"

[Think. Again.]

1. Oh, axios.

It's probably common practice for public figures to not book hotels, resturaunts, etc under their own names, but yeah, any general election convention is going to need security considerations.

2. I hope they protest peacefully, for their sake as well as their cause.

3. Bring Garlic, Holy Water, Wooden Stakes and Silver Bullets to the DNC...

Ya just never know if tramp's Lost Boys (Boogaloos, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers) will show up.

4. So why did they not protest at the RNC? Could it be because the agitators are supporting Trump?

5. The astroturfed, well-bankrolled protests in NYC have been pro-Hamas, anti-Democratic Party, anti-Israel,

and often openly anti-Semitic for the past several months. They marched in NYC just a few days ago, wearing Hamas headbands, waving Houthi flags, carrying framed pictures of Hamas terrorist leader Sinwar, bellowing "Intifada! Intifada!", all with the single goal of ratf*cking a Kamala for presidential campaign launch party in Harlem.

In NYC, the marchers proudly sport terrorist insignia, carry professionally made signs caricaturing Jewish Senate Leader Schumer and Black House Leader Jeffries, and paint red triangles on homes or institutions they are targeting

They call our president "Genocide Joe" and our vice-president and nominee "Killer Kamala".

Here in NYC, the marches are not peaceful, and they are not ant-war. The goal is to ensure that a Democrat is not elected president.

Here are links to the websites of the major organizers of what they hope to be violence and mayhem next week.

You can find propaganda, schedules of "events", "tool kits" and even book a seat on one of the dozens of buses they are sending to our convention.

The organizers are not part of the Democratic coalition, and they are not our allies.

7. Imagine scoffing "Oh Axios" over a specific warning given during a security briefing.
