Two days ago, retired border patrol Nazi Greg Bovino promised “a twist” related to Delaney Hall. He said “they won’t see this coming”, and that standing up “citizen militias” is a good idea. Today, the Proud Boys arrived on scene.

FYI, the single most unusual trade in Trump's portfolio disclosure was him buying $1M-$5M in DELL on February 10, a mere 11 trading days before it released a huge upside earnings surprise. Trump's currently at 150% profit on it. I guess he wanted to squeeze some more profit from it with this.
