Headlines claim "Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Kidnap Plot Busted By FBI". Virtually all stories include the claim that it was a "right wing extremist" group responsible.
The very first problem with the claims center on the FBI. The FBI has a history of entrapment-like "investigations", where simple minded fools without the means to accomplish their goals are offered said means by the FBI. The FBI invariably arrest some village idiots after said investigations, to make an example of them.

A cursory glance at the early stories shows that the fools plotting to kidnap Whitmer had little idea what they were even talking about. Their talk of "200 men" and the need to purchase explosives directly from an FBI informant already makes the story smell of fish.
But, the "white supremacist" and "right wing" nonsense is being laid low, regardless of the village idiot's capabilities.
It turns out Brandon Caserta, one of anarchists who was arrested for plotting to kidnap Whitmer, actually hates President Trump and is on video calling Trump a “tyrant.”
And now there is evidence a second “rightwing” militia member attended at least one Black Lives Matter protest and was sympathetic to George Floyd and BLM protesters.
So we have not one, but TWO Antifa/BLM protesters involved in this "right wing" plot? Interesting, to say the least!
It turns out Brandon Caserta, one of anarchists who was arrested for plotting to kidnap Whitmer, actually hates President Trump and is on video calling Trump a “tyrant.”
“Trump is not your friend dude,” Caserta said.
He says Trump is “a tyrant” and calls President Trump an “enemy.”
The media, with the FBI being complicit, is playing the American public for a bunch of fools here. "Anarchist" do not equate to "right wing" or to "white supremacy".
I can grant that self proclaimed anarchists may have ulterior motives that they keep hidden until they have destroyed the existing government. Given that possibility, how did everyone jump to the conclusion that these particular anarchists are either "right wing" or "white supremacist"? Wouldn't it be just as easy to surmise that these fools are socialists, left wing militants, and/or communist activists?
Maybe, just maybe, these self proclaimed anarchists are really and truly anarchists? Maybe they don't care about left or right, maybe they don't care about black or white. All they want to see is government come tumbling down?
As usual, the public is being played. Mainstream Media has it's agenda, it has it's narrative, and that's all you're going to see when you tune in to "News at 11:00".
And, the FBI. That clown outfit is working hard to shed any credibility it may have. In the last election, the FBI worked hard to protect the D candidate, right up until the last days, then Comey turned on his mistress. Now, the FBI seems to be on track again, protecting the D narrative, and attacking the R, just before the election.

Half the country, following the Religion of the D, will eat it up and feel happy that they've already sent in their mail in ballots for Biden (and first woman president Harris!) before any uncomfortable, uncensorable facts may intrude before election day.
The other side really needs to get out the vote this year. Deep red flyover parts of states can make the difference in the presidential election. Even in a normal year, only maybe 5% pay attention and keep an open mind as the election approaches. And this year, with the shutdown of life in Democrat run states and a few others, frank and personal political discussions with acquaintances and colleagues are greatly hampered. Pretty much everyone is just getting their information from their chosen bubble.
IMO, the republicans have failed to plan ahead for the tech giants' censorship. Both parties are obviously moribund and morally bankrupt, but there is more money and assistance being showered upon the democrat side by interested groups.

They might need to do that to ensure Trump wins Iowa. Which says a lot about Trump's chances of getting reelected.

There's going to be a more reliable poll in about 3 weeks now. Forget about all the faux polls published by one sycophant or another.

Hehe, yeah. I'm betting all those too afraid, lest they lose their job, to go on record that they prefer Trump finally come out when it counts.
I hope.

If even one person dies of covid it is too much. If we need to test 7 billion people every day for $100 per test to stop one death we should do It.
But do not give anyone vitamin c or the fbi will raid your office.

It keeps declaring the guy with the fewest votes the winner. That's not very reliable!
