DENVERPOPS

32. Everyone should be taking video
Wed Jun 11, 2025, 02:24 PM
Wednesday

AND the last thing you want to do is turn it over to the Police or ANY of the mainstream TV networks......get it to the WaPo and NYT or DU.....

And have people standing back from the main crowd, from an elevated position filming everything........

I for sure would not have a single individual at the Parade in DC......period.

I am looking for what the 6,000 military soldiers in the parade are wearing.......dress uniforms, or full battle gear......Very Telling..........It is a perfect set up to use excessive force on anyone who isn't a MAGAot.........and the entire day, across the entire U.S. will be a set up for any violence giving him the reason he wants to install the so-called Insurrection Act, over ride the Posse Comatatus Act, and declare martial law allowing him to use the entire U.S. Military against dissension in any manner, real or fancied by him and Fox News.......

Also, during the BLM demonstrations, people were following the individuals that were doing the major vandalism, breaking windows, and starting fires to see where they went after their actions. The peaceful demonstrators video recorded their actions and them leaving the "riot" to go back to their cars near the site and them escaping....definitely RW MAGAots, inciting violence as if they were demonstrators.......

This is what the Proud Boys have been waiting for, along with the 1600 pardoned by Trump, to have some payback.......

Interesting that a lot of the elderly that demonstrated in the 60's, tell me they can't participate due to their elderly condition and are in hopes that the younger participate........
