Ah yes, fencing to protect the DNC, but they don't want it on the border to protect the country...just like ID to get into Heels-Up rally but not to vote....Better lay in more popcorn..

I think we will see quite a lot of violence. I pray that innocent people are not hurt, and that small business owners are all right, but I am afraid they won't be.

"Walls don't work"... is what they tell us... so just ask their VP candidate, ironically named, "Walz." He said he would just go buy the Mexican invaders taller ladders to scale the U.S. Border Wall built by Trump. In that statement he tells us who he really is. A Federal criminal.

It's remarkable that the democrats don't like having to show ID when it comes to voting but when it comes to protecting their convention they demand ID from the participants.

Is there going to be a skeleton crew of police around this event like there was around Trump in Pa.? I'm waiting for the next bit of news that states the national guard is being deployed around the convention.

Videos of this and that they require I.D. before being allowed into their convention, should be repeated over and over in most swing districts. Asking, why they feel the need for a fence/barrier/wall (need to repeat all 3 since they use wall as a jab at Republicans when it's essentially the same thing as a fence and barrier) but oppose it at the border. If showing I.D. only manages to prevent one person from having their vote disenfranchised isn't it worth it?

#4 and #7 I have subscribed to the ad free service since its inception and I know it has been well worth the cost over the years. When it started it was $69/year. I don't know how much it is now since it automatically renews. Is there some small amount in your budget you could give up to be able to use this service?
