ain't. Nor are any bikers I know in the bag for tRump. Been a biker for more than a couple minutes. Wonder about those supporting tRump though. bikers I know are usually smarter, employed and care about their citizenship as well as other citizens. Often they are veterans and I can't imagine a veteran getting behind anyone who would accept a Purple Heart he or she didn't earn. Maybe tRump is hiring fake bikers, that would explain it. Been at it on Harleys since 1976, other types before that. From the seat of my 2012 ultra limited this biker says fuck you tRump.
And for good measure, same goes for that poser running my state, Wisconsin, who pretends he's a biker too. Remember the governor who, for months, snuck into his building via a tunnel from a parking ramp? He still has NEVER faced his constituents without it being a carefully orchestrated, controlled and heavily defended outing. When he finally leaves office he knows he has to leave the state, he will never be able to live here after the wreckage and ruin he has wrought.
I suspect when tRump gets chased out of office by some form of the Sheriff he will flee the country too. Most likely Russia. Which will LOCK HIM UP!

(82,849 posts)Chris Cox, the self-appointed head of Bikers for Trump said that he and his buddies will form a wall of meat around the perimeter at the inauguration, in case any dirty fucking hippies show up to cause trouble. Two thoughts occurred to me almost instantly: Doesn't he really mean a "wall of meatheads"; and I suppose if the hippies don't cause any trouble at the inauguration, Cox and his pals will take care of that by picking on someone that doesn't look sufficiently blissed out.

(47,209 posts)Big house and money to burn. Thinks Hillary and his girlfriend should "stay in the kitchen". And turned a good friend against me. Because hating Hillary is a powerful thing for some macho men. It's always the macho ones who are so threatened by smart women.

(1,477 posts)priests. My family had a beautiful shepherd who gave birth to several pure bred puppies. I was friendly with a priest and Augustinian brother who lived on campus. When learning that we had a puppy for adoption, my friends asked if they could adopt him. I smuggled the puppy into work one day and presented him to my friends. They named the beloved puppy "Augiedog".

(29,718 posts)1000s of bikers ride through the state. One event here brings over 100 thousand for the weekend and our little village gets 10s of thousands during that weekend as well. Anyway, our town has lots of bikers and right now, I don't see a single bike anywhere. It's cold, rainy and no one wants to be out.

(43,049 posts)these interwebs things. There is so much bullshit flying around that it's just easier to ignore it. If you can.
I'm going back to my "if it ain't in the Times, it ain't happening" days.
It used to cost you paper, ink, and postage to float your conspiracy boats. Or you had to have enough energy to find a radio station.
Now that anyone with a keyboard and a basement can do it, it's completely out of hand.

(1,303 posts)Trump falls for fake news.
People are pouring into Washington in record numbers, Trump also said in a tweet. Bikers for Trump are on their way. It will be a great Thursday, Friday, and Saturday!
There is no evidence that record numbers of Trump supporters will turn out for the inauguration. D.C.s Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is expecting anywhere between 800,000 to 900,000 people to attend the swearing-in ceremony and the parade. In comparison, an estimated 1.8 million people attended President Barack Obamas first inauguration. And ticket scalpers are reportedly having a difficult time selling tickets to Trumps ceremony.
Many Trump supporters will show up, but it probably will not be on the scale that Trump purports. Bikers for Trump founder Chris Cox requested a permit for 5,000 bikers to help form a wall of meat against Trump protesters. According to Buzzfeed News, the permit was still being processed and had not yet been issued.
