emmie: They are the mid-terms, for Congress not for the presidency.
what the funicular - foo! ( or as I wd say, Jesus)
anyway, my knowledge of US politics - - lets get onto
. The practice, called "swatting", is used to try to provoke a confrontation between the target and law enforcement.
you ring up the police and say that there is a nasty man prowling outside ( n.famous person's) house. Tactical team goes in, all guns blazing - there is a mortality to this (the houseowner I mean). They are doing this to justices of the ameican supreme court
JayJay around us took an airgun to a girl's house and said his gran'ma had a shotgun ( unlikely even Oldham Rd). Gran'ma suitably swatted and unimpressed. My dog ( your darg, yup) was involved as he went in as well to make sure Hugo ( another dog) was OK. Slippy things these dogs....
SWAT man also unimpressed, presumably after using tie backs to tie the granparent to a chair and then finding nothing xc old illustrated London Newses and a few jars of jam....and all those papers to fill out
I didnt ask what the police dog thought
