Protestors with a permit teargassed on the way to vote.

Journal by DeathMonkey

In other totally-not-a-slide-into-fascism news, peaceful protestors who had a permit to march were teargassed on the way to vote.

Peaceful march to the polls in North Carolina is met with police pepper spray and arrests, causing outcry on eve of election

They have elections in all those shithole dictatorial countries too. They just make sure the wrong people don't vote.

The participants in Saturday’s “I Am Change” march had intended to conclude at an early-voting site to emphasize turnout in the final days of the presidential campaign. Those plans were thrown into disarray when law-enforcement officers in riot gear and gas masks insisted demonstrators move off the street and clear county property, despite a permit authorizing their presence.

    the writing on the wall

    Vandalism!

    No worries though. Just build another wall.

    Trumpty Dumpty can't build a wall
    Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall
    All Kim Jong's horses
    And all Putin's men
    Couldn't put Trumpty together again

    No matter what kind of fences they build around the white house, if Trump loses the election, he will automatically stop being president on Jan 20. Walls or no walls. And there is enough force to come in and forcibly remove him.

    I just worry about the "scorched earth" policies he will enact during the nearly three months he has after he loses. Telling his cult like supporters to block traffic will be the tip of the iceberg.

    And then again, he could win. Which means twelve more years of scorched earth.
