No concern about victims. TOTAL CONCERN it MAY BENEFIT TRUMP-----Portland mayor condemns rioters for 'attempting to commit murder' | Fox News

Portland mayor condemns rioters for 'attempting to commit murder' | Fox News
"Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.
“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.
"Don’t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are," he said.
"You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign.
If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.”...Read all.

The mobs are forming. To DESTROY AMERICA!-----#WhiteHouseSiege – Tactical Briefing #1

#WhiteHouseSiege – Tactical Briefing #1
"All right, all you activists:
It’s been nine years since we set off the political earthquake of #OccupyWallStreet, laying siege to NYC’s Zuccotti Park and inspiring thousands of similar protests around the world.
The Occupy anniversary arrives September 17th, 2020. And it may be the perfect day to trigger another global big-bang moment — a massive collective action of the sweetest kind of disobedience.
The why hardly needs recitation. 
Because, for these nine years, the shadows have only grown longer. 
Inequality has soared. 
...It’s time again for dramatic, decisive action. 
Which is why, on September 17th, in the original and enduring spirit of Occupy, we and tens of thousands of our fellow citizens will stream into Lafayette Square, in Washington. D.C.
We will lay siege to the White House. 
And we will sustain it for exactly fifty days. 
This is the #WhiteHouseSiege.
...#WhiteHouseSiege will electrify the U.S. election season — and it doesn’t stop there. 
Drawing wind from #MeToo, #BLM, #ExtinctionRebellion, and protests against Trump’s lethal bungling of coronavirus, we’ll inspire a global movement of systemic change — a Global Spring — a cultural heave towards a new world order...Read all!!

Is There Evidence That The 2020 Election Could Be Stolen Using Mail-In Ballots And Counterfeit Driver's Licenses?
"...Unfortunately, we are already witnessing some suspicious activity that is raising red flags. 
It is well known that China wants President Trump to lose in November, and U.S. officials say that they have intercepted thousands upon thousands of counterfeit driver’s licenses which are being shipped into the United States from China. 
Of course a license is the most common form of ID used on voter registration forms, and most states now allow voters to register and vote by mail. 
In 2016, Trump won the swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan by razor-thin margins.

• Trump won Pennsylvania by just 68,236 votes.
• Trump won Wisconsin by just 27,257 votes.
• Trump won Michigan by just 11,837 votes.

If Hillary Clinton had won those three states, she would have won the election.
