ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The Albany County Democratic Committee says someone fired nine shots into their New York headquarters.

Committee Chairman Jack Flynn says an employee came into the office Wednesday morning and found debris and bullet holes in the front window.

Police believe the shots were fired after everyone had left the office Tuesday night.

Albany Police Officer Steve Smith says investigators found bullet fragments, but it's too soon to say what kind of gun was used.

As we see the unravel ling of Trump (Mueller report and indictments, more highly secret leaks)... expect more action by the extreme right.

They will say "false flag" but in reality.. it really is the case that they will try to foment an open war (mass shootings) of liberals.

I don't think the Russian support of the NRA was only about funneling money to Republican candidates (although that was the primary mission). See, I think that the NRA effort was also to gather intel on the possibility of using fake stories (like the pizza child sex ring story) and all of the social media manipulation to get the Trump base to a place where they can actually believe that shooting liberals and brown people and gay people and anyone they have been taught to hate is OK.

Note all of the "call police on random black person doing something completely normal" stories.

The increased incivility toward anyone even suspected as being a member of the "suspect classes".

These sorts of propaganda things are the same the Nazis aimed at Jews and Gypsies and the others they eventually tried to exterminate.

There was a reason to use the NRA for the open support of the right wing party here.

that at Trump's treason rallies he has started to call himself super elite and called his zombie followers elitists, in other words, he and his cult are the master race.

As Sinclair Lewis pointed out in his novel “It Can’t Happen Here” It can happen here.

I is a scary time right now, we are fighting for our soul as a Nation.
