MIRT (malicious intruder removal team). An MI is a member has less than 100 posts and has obviously with bad intentions not covered by ToS(terms of service) or to violate ToS and/or they've been alerted on. MIRT can shut that account.

I've been on MIRT and if a DUer really wants to learn what it takes to help keep DU civil its worth being on MIRT. Its voluntary and it just requires being able to sit on a jury plus having been here a certain time, 3 months(?). Every three months (the length of a MIRT term) in the 'announcements' section (at the top left hand of the home page - read it regularly) the administrators (skinner/EarlG/Elon) put a call out as the new MIRT is being pulled together.

Post, don't get hidden posts, become a star member and you, too can MIRT. Its a great way to get to know DU and some great DUers, too.

35. 'Bikers for Trump' founder sells shirts made in Haiti
Sat Aug 11, 2018, 11:24 PM
Aug 2018

BY AVERY ANAPOL - 08/11/18 02:29 PM EDT

The founder of “Bikers for Trump” said he sells pro-Trump T-shirts made in Haiti because American-made products are too expensive.

“If I get a T-shirt made in the USA, it’s going to cost about $8 more,” Chris Cox told The New York Times. “I looked far and wide to try to get a shirt made in America, it’s just they get you, they gouge you.”

The comment came as part of the Times’s wider look at the reactions of pro-Trump motorcyclists to President Trump’s feud with Harley-Davidson.

According to the Times, many bikers say they will turn against the company once it moves forward with its decision to move some production overseas, placing their loyalty to the brand second to their loyalty to Trump ...

This was clearly a staged event. Anything related to him is staged for security purposes.

With that said, I have seen many more at the Greencastle Run to the VAMC in Martinsburg, WV. Donations to the VA recreation fund for items not covered by VA appropriations.

Noted a comment many more were bussed in? Has anyone here in the Underground ever been to Rolling Thunder or the Greencastle Run organized by a christian motorcycle group? You'll see a lot more bikes.

Rolling Thunder would be a lot more fun than something for dufass. At Rolling Thunder you'll meet a lot of military guys, active and retired, with back stories that are absolutely great. Then you get down to the business of the Ride, POW and MIA.

He’s got himself a bikers fan club, just like his pal Vlad with his “Night Wolves” club. Next thing we know, Trump’ll be taking off his shirt and riding bareback on a horse.

But not even Putin comports himself so overtly as a Nazi. Seriously, Donnie, raising your fist in front of a bunch of white guys on the anniversary of Charlottesville? What a piece of shit you are.

coming from the heavily populated (100 + million) northeast sector of the US, they mobilized a hundred people, who are 'bikers' who 'love tRump' and want to support him in a photo-op.

Those guys can't ride their North Korean Motor Works Roadmasters into Sturgis.
