This was posted elsewhere but it deserves its own thread.
Sycamore is just as duplicitous and deceptive as any left winger that I've ever encountered.
In the article from Newsweek that he posted,he conveniently cut off the last six paragraphs to intentionally deceive the members.
This is the end of the article from Newsweek that is so conspicuously missing from Sycamore's post.
The additional police forces are also requested by the Secret Service, which campaign teams argue should foot the bill for the security measures.
Secret Service spokesman Jeffrey Adams told Center for Public Integrity that the agency is not funded to reimburse local police, adding that "we don't have a mechanism to do so."
This is not just an issue with Trump either. Several presidential candidates' campaign teams, including Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton's, have also not paid local governments for providing additional police down the years.
Celestine Jeffreys, the chief of staff for Eric Genrich, mayor for the Wisconsin city of Green Bay who are owned $9,380 for a Trump rally in August 2016, confirmed to Newsweek: "To date, the City of Green Bay has yet to receive reimbursement from either the Trump or Clinton campaign for 2016 expenses."
Another issue that the legal costs of pursuing the outstanding debt from Trump's campaign team would often be more than what they are owed.
El Paso attorney City Attorney Karla Nieman previously confirmed they would not be filing a lawsuit in order to help get the $569,000 back and instead "continue to explore various options."

Trump Set to Leave Office with at Least $850,000 of Unpaid Campaign Rally Bills
With just weeks until his presidency ends, several cities across the U.S. are still owed payments from Donald Trump's campaign for rallies he held, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Texas city of El Paso said this week that they will be hiring outside legal counsel as part of their fight to obtain more than $500,000 from Trump's team to cover the security and other costs from a rally held there in February 2019.
The outstanding debt includes $470,000 in additional services provided by the local police and fire departments, as well as an additional $99,000 in late fees.
Last year, the Center for Public Integrity included El Paso among a list of 10 cities still waiting for payment from the Trump campaign team for rallies as far back as 2016.
A number of city officials have now confirmed to Newsweek that they have still not received the money that they invoiced, with some accepting that it may never arrive.
The debts range from just a few thousands dollars to more than $200,000 in Albuquerque, with El Paso owed the most of them all.
The city of Burlington, Vermont, confirmed that Trump's team still has not paid the $8,464.27 amount they are owed from a campaign rally he held there in January 2016 before he was elected president.
"Mr Trump's failure to cooperate with local law enforcement officials and lack of communication with the public and ticketholders put undue strain on the City's police, and unnecessarily hurt downtown businesses," Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger said in June 2016.
"Paying the invoice remains the right and honorable thing for Mr Trump to do."
Nearly five years later, the city still has not received the money.
"The Trump campaign has not paid the invoices. Our Police and Fire Departments did check in at the time after a month of non-payment had lapsed," Jordan Redell, spokesman for Mayor Weinberger, told Newsweek. "Beyond that point, the City concluded that it would not be cost effective to pursue collections remedies."
One of the main issues surrounding cities asking for payments for campaign rallies is that unless a contract is signed from both sides, there is no legal requirement for political committees to pay for security costs.
The cities dispatch additional police officers and other measures on their own accord for safety reasons as a duty for the public, with Trump's rallies sometimes bringing in tens of thousands of supporters to areas with relatively small populations.
