A 49-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested near former President Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella on Saturday with a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday.

Deputies assigned to the rally contacted the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint near the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive just before 5 p.m. Saturday, sheriff’s officials said.

They allegedly found the driver in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine. The driver was identified as Vem Miller, and was taken into custody and later booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a high-capacity magazine.

    The guy interviewed Ivan Raiklin a couple weeks ago who is the “secretary of retribution.” Ivan Raiklin was on Info Wars talking with Jones about how if Trump were assassinated, it would be the best case scenario for Republicans because Vance would be the candidate then and then Republicans would commit a “cleansing.”

    This seems like a bit of a conspiracy against Trump but it is coming from the right.

      The party of conspiracy theories is eating itself due to conspiracy theories.

      That seems about right.

      I’ve said since the debate that something seems weird. It very much feels like Vance fully expects to be president, not VP. I don’t know why or how that would come about, but he’s not running like a typical VP.

          “Relatively unknown, billionaire-backed, Ivy League educated politician selected by shadowy think tanks as VP to increasingly senile and incoherent Cult Leader.”

          Smells like the 25th amendment.
