I’ll be more concerned when they don’t leave...

Never seen the word ‘fear’ in so many articles. I suspect they are going to be utterly terrified when it actually happens.

Obama’s DOJ has acted as representatives of BLM even before it existed. It is out of control.

Yeah. Trump should make the appointment and see who bails. My guess would be you could count them on one hand.
