He has not very smart afterall.
Trump is no better than the crooks we have in Washington now.
George Washington - Whiskey Rebellion
Andrew Jackson - Nullification Crisis
Abraham Lincoln - Civil War
Donald Trump - ??????
The people in Burns, OR and the surrounding (middle of nowhere) just may disagree with you.
Disappointed!
Thought he would be more for liberty etc etc!!
This is insane. Why is the FBI looking at picking a fight with these people?
If you arrived home one day to find armed intruders in your home and they refused to leave, what would you do?
I agree but we need to devolve millions of acres of land away from the central federal government and into the private ownership marketplace. There is no excuse whatsoever for fed govt owning 90% of Nevada, etc. (recommendation: limit sales to American citizens to avoid possibility of very serious problems arising)
Agree. It’s not like they were robbing liquor stores and killing clerks. Not only that, they already killed on of them under very questionable circumstances.
Anarchist’s choice.
Sounds like Trump is OK with another Waco. Let’s see how many “freedom loving” Trump supporters follow him there, too.
Hmmm...bad.
Wrong answer.
What if someone from Da Gummint took over Trump Tower..?
“We’ve decided your stuff is ours...”
While you’re making your anti-Trump point, why not post what Ted said at the beginning of this?
Something like “stand down”, wasn’t it?
But that wouldn’t fit your personal agenda.
But that’s not to say Trump isn’t correct. One has to draw the line. Since government is in the wrong here, negotiate with those folks and let them walk. Unless the government plans on killing off the others too.
Bottom line here, there are solutions government’s claim to millions of acres, which desperately need to be addressed. It’s what created this and other incidents. And more to come.
The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.There is nothing in there that defines the executive branch as the “United States”, nor gives it the power to do what it does via the Department of the Interior and its Bureau of Land Management.
— Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2
This pivot to the center left should be fun to watch...

So were you the author?
That’s a new low. Not surprising, however.
He’s right. It’s a sad situation. These people clearly have some kind of deathwish. It’s too bad they didn’t listen to all of the people who have tried to help them.
