Trump’s angry words spur warnings of real violence
The Associated Press ^ | August 16, 2022 | By DAVID KLEPPER (D-AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man armed with an AR-15 dies in a shootout after trying to breach FBI offices in Cincinnati. A Pennsylvania man is arrested after he posts death threats against agents on social media. In cyberspace, calls for armed uprisings and civil war grow stronger.

This could be just the beginning, federal authorities and private extremism monitors warn. A growing number of ardent Donald Trump supporters seem ready to strike back against the FBI or others who they believe go too far in investigating the former president.

Law enforcement officials across the country are warning and being warned about an increase in threats and the potential for violent attacks on federal agents or buildings in the wake of the FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

Experts who study radicalization and online disinformation — such as Trump’s aggressive false claims about a stolen election — note that the recent increase was sparked by a legal search of Trump’s Florida home. What might happen in the event of arrests or indictments?

Amplified by right-wing media, angry claims by Trump and his allies about the search are fanning the flames of his supporters’ distrust of the FBI — though it’s led by a Trump appointee — and the federal government in general. And at least a few of Trump’s supporters now appear to be acting on his anger.

American Pravda (AP) just doing its usual Democrat Party scare narrative.

Seems like AP is trying to whip up a little controversy about who and how the coming conflagration is to be ignited. Willing though they may be to assess all blame upon Trump and the Ultra-MAGA people, it still takes somebody whacking the hornets’ nest with a stick to get things going.

The trouble with steep learning curves is the potential for absolute disaster to take place before any real lessons can be drawn from the incident.

Seems like that is job #1 for the liberal media; especially these last 6 years.

warnings of “real violence”. This goofball needs to get out more. Real violence is here and it’s not because of Trump.

Anytime I seem the fake news media say “ false claims about a stolen election”... we know the article is mostly full of sh*t. Not sure what the current polls say but from what I have seen 75% of those who voted for Trump believe that there was some significant shenanigans. Most of the initial theories were wrong....2000 Mules is likely how it was done.

“””Trump’s angry words spur warnings of real violence”””


The media has gotten their marching orders from the Deep State.

Blame Trump for any actions by kooks.

“...the potential for violent attacks on federal agents or buildings”


Yet when Antifa attacked a Federal courthouse (Portland?) we were told that Antifa wasn’t really a group, but merely an idea. Ah, but Trump’s ‘angry words’ are a threat to ‘our democracy’. And remember, the search of Trump’s home was ‘legal’.

They’re trying really hard to stir up violence, and I hope nobody takes the bait.

You have to realize: they want violence, because it would give them a pretext to do all the things they want to do - which would essentially be a Chinese-style lockdown.

They don’t have to be ardent Trump supporters, but people fed up with less freedom.

No, the tyrannical, lawless actions of a criminal regime have caused calls for violence. Reap what you sow.

The same with professors and politicians on the “right side”. They don’t understand how all of this works.

Let me add.

The 2022 Primaries have resulted in very favorable outcomes for Trump and his MAGA Posse.

The Democrats and RINO’s are upping their attacks on Trump knowing the 2022 mid-terms will remove a whole lot of them from power on November 8th.

The Left gets to propagate its side on many outlets including the AP syndicate. Not “news”-—biased and narrow viewpoint opinion.

So was there an AP story that the unprecedented home raid by a President through his use of the FBI’s armed agents brings up comparisons with a banana republic?

No.

The people in AP, LA Times, NYT, WaPo, CNN and the other TV networks and PBS and NPR are enemies. They chose to be that.

Hey maybe the FBI could maybe stop persecuting people that the DC swamp has targeted for persecution. It could result in those people not feeling persecuted maybe and they might not get as hostile.

Just an idea. You know, the whole peaceful civil society idea.

Right. Their master plan.

Notice how they are trying to make the fiction sound real that Trump riled up the Jan.6 people to allegedly want to overthrow the election and the nation, and now Trump somehow is angering the potentially violent Right ——as he defends himself against the raids and verbal slanders from the Left.

THEY are doing this, not Trump or the Right.

Idiots at home hear daily mentions the violent Jan.6 protests resulted in “deaths” as if protesters shot in the air in all directions. Never happened. Ashli Babbitt was killed by an officer and others had ongoing heart issues or other problems. Not a slaughter as the media keeps lying.
