Congrats #Chicago “protesters”, you’ve just made #Trump the victim.
Look for a nice bump in his poll numbers.— Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) March 12, 2016
“There has been that fear for quite some time that Obama will use an excuse of some sort for an emergency extension of his presidency.”
That.

Sorry about the multiple responses. A bit.

LindaL “…They also were busy manipulating the Canadian election behind the scenes and were effective in creating a false narrative that Canadians found persuasive in sufficient numbers to create Liberal (globalist) majority…” Well said! And it’s not just Soros et al behind the scenes. Why would Barry O. take Netanyahu’s “surprising” election win in Israel so vehemently personal? The globalist EU Elitist fingers are in every pot stirring.
Hard to cancel elections in the States. The beauty is every State controls its own Elections. No Elections Canada type setup down there.
Even if you got a few State Boards to cancel some state somewhere will do its own thing.
Well, the 1968 comment was partly inspired by this event being in Chicago but more generally it reminds me of the high tide of leftist lunacy of that year, all of it neatly orchestrated by the KGB from their forward operating bases. Now that the Soviet Union has withered away and been replaced by our domestic communist insurgency, nobody needs to organize anything, the robots just go forth on auto-pilot. But in 1968 the population was pretty much captive to the liberal media, whereas now there’s a back channel for people to compare and contrast.
Of course, Trump will play this for all it’s worth to him as well, but his main rivals have wrong-footed themselves by blaming him for the violence. This just shows that they don’t get what we are facing, nor do they fully realize that the same disruption can easily be applied to them, and it will be, if one of them is chosen in Trump’s place.
Meanwhile on the other side, the charade of “moderate” Hillary against the quixotic but doomed idealist Sanders plays out to its inevitable conclusion, a few tears for the plucky communist and a sigh of relief that the brand of socialism chosen does not entirely exclude wealth.
However, a disclaimer — I preferred 1968. If the weather got warm, nobody laid a guilt trip on me.
I daresay the KGB was paying attention to the revolution in Prague, but I can’t believe they “orchestrated” it, and I rather doubt that they were too involved in the rest of it, either. In 1968 it was generally recognised that what was going on in Paris, Prague and San Francisco was all of a piece. And there’s no doubt that the Reds tried to exploit where they could – they always do – but it was a spontaneous thing of its own.
Those were strange times, and we haven’t seen much like them since.
