Nineteen foreign nationals face federal charges in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina for illegally voting in the 2016 federal elections, according to federal charges publicly announced on Wednesday. These charges are the latest indictments to result from an ongoing years-long federal criminal investigation being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Raleigh office.

Non-citizens are not eligible to register to vote or to vote in federal elections under U.S. law.

This is not a card game... it is not a game at all... lives and property are being destroyed, let us hope it isn't out of some internal idea that teaching them a lesson for electing Marxist reslts in violence and destruction... we can do that other ways than taking lives and property.
I don't think so, either, but others on this forum seem to imply it quite often. I think Trump is amazing and plays four dimensional chess that most can't follow. That's probably why these people think that there is something wrong with Trump, which, of course, isn't the case. There is no one in public office who is more amazing than Trump, and there has not been a better president in my lifetime than Trump. Just look at how great he has made America again. The country is in so much better shape today than it was on the day Trump took over from obummer when riots, chaos, and deficits ruled the day.
I totally agree Paul!
Not likely Paul... what makes you think the deep state and swamp will suddenly reverse course if Pres. Trump is elected... they are more likely to take to the streets with greater acts of violence and open insurrection if Trump tries to enforce the laws. So, why put off for tomorrow what one can do today... declare martial law and drain both the Swamp and the Deep State before they resort to widespread insurrection and open revolution?
You are ignoring history and what it teaches us about internal insurgencies and Marxist revolutions... they don't surrender after being defeated at the polls... historically, they will label the defeat as fraud and start a violent revolution to overthrow or to negotiate a coalition government... in our case, one that pardons previous offenses by the swamp and deep state in return for recognition of the Trump government... however, that will be shortlived as they use the time to amass even greater threats to the violent overthrow of the government ... claiming all along that it is the radical right-wing revolting and threatening the government.
Wake up Paul... study Marxist insurgency tactics, and then come back. Those who refuse to learn from HISTORY are doomed to repeat it.
It is useful to remember that in all of the major Marxist revolutions in history, the population was relatively uneducated, impoverished, unarmed and for the most part unpatriotic. I believe that more Americans will fight for their country and its Constitution than any other people in history, because we are a noble but fiercely independent people who value our freedoms over just about anything else. Those that do not can hide and watch, but we will not allow the Marxist agitators and anarchists to take our country from us. Unlike the Democrat sheeple in the large urban centers of our country most of the United States is relatively peaceful, determined to maintain law and order, and firmly intolerant of any civil unrest and discord.
Who was unarmed and uneducated... tell that to the White Russian's (The Romanov/Tsarist)... they were primarily the middle class in Russia and formed the resistance in support of the Tsar. They were members of the military, shop owners, tradesmen, and the polite society of the day when calamity struck Russia.
Lenin's Bolsheviks were losing their struggle... until a Provisional Government was formed, after the chaos of a contested election for the DUMA failed to provide a functional government... Thus, giving Lenin time to build greater support and resistance for Marxism, in the badly decaying Russian economy immediately following WW-1. The Kerensky Provisional Government was the door thru which Lenin created a civil war in Russia. The Provisional Government (coalition government) resulted from the Tsar's failure to put down Lenin's Bolsheviks earlier, during the Russian insurrection. Sound familiar? Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
If you compare today's United States of America with the Russian Revolution starting in 1917, could you please let us know who the Tsar is and what the provisional government is in the US?
The Tsar was the Emporer of Russia... the titular head of a Parliamentary Monarchy which operated with a parliament (Duma... lower house with legislative and oversight powers, and State Council the upper house with executive powers) and a Monarch known as a Tsar. The Government was historically a stable system but had been corrupted internally and under the current Romanov leadership was in constant internal turmoil.. adding to the massive economic hardship and a collapsed economy. Russia was in a state of serious economic depression and the government could not agree on how to deal with it... Open 'Insurrection' was occurring in the streets and revolution was knocking at the door in Moscow... A compromised provisional government was formed, in the hope that bipartisan cooperation between the Bolsheviks Menshavicks and the White Russians would stabilize the government... and result in solutions to the underlying economic problems... However the Marxists under Linen had no intention to compromise or to support a coalition government, they wanted it all. (similar to our problem with the Marxist Democrats)
How does the situation in Russia then compare with the USA... the Bolsheviks are Marxist then and now... Their methods for establishing power are the same... VIOLENCE, insurrection, and false compromises on cultural and legislative policy (promises of bipartisan government are merely a scheme by the left to gradually take over(death by a thousand cuts.. gradualism). The Bolsheviks used the failed Duma elections of 1917 to create the final pressures for violent CIVIL WAR/REVOLUTION. They worked to destroy the election outcome using violence, and voter fraud; throwing an already weak government and economy into serious freefall. Thus, necessitating the formation of a coalition government (bipartisan government)... something the Marxist commonly use even to undermine and destroy opposing government power in a failing state... The rest is as they say... History.
This does not answer my question. Probably because we don't have a provisional government or a tsar or anything close to either one.
My official position on your pompous declaration of my ignorance and lack of information is that I am sincerely sorry to hear that you feel that way, and will pray for you.
