He has a federal task force, intel collection ingoing, authorization to use federal agents with or without state “permission” and tactical mobility teams with a very particular set of skills

*************

Lots of “resources” (soaking up money) but a scarcity of people inside the federal bureaucracies who are willing to do anything.

A lot of hard-core techies are savants in one narrow area, at least when they’re young.

*************

I worked around a lot of lefties who were pretty good at their jobs but obtuse and stubborn when it comes to political issues. They just tune out what they don’t want to hear.

Think Brandon is still a democrat?

sadly yes.


I posted that because very few will connect how they vote to what happens.

You and I look at the situation and see it for what it is. They are so indoctrinated, minds are not easily changed.

After all this lawless nonsense and if the elections were fair in these Democratic controlled states and cities, it would be interesting to see if there are any actual shifts. If not then these people are hopeless and there is no point in considering them fellow Americans.

One thing about Trump, when bureaucracies try to stop him, he finds another way

About 80 antifa/anarchist/ riot leaders were arrested in the past 2 weeks and are facing hard time on federal charges. Seen Antifa in DC since 1 June? The key to breaking up insurgencies...is to disable the brains. We have federal agents with lots of experience against gangs, cartels, anti terrorism, combat ops. They’ll be looking to take down the leaders. And any of the real psychos in the structure. Maybe even freeze funding.

Remember the 53 National Guard guys sworn in by Barr about 10 days ago as Federal Marshals?

To me it is a city issue. If the city won’t fix it, the state needs to go in and fix the problem, replace the city government and charge them with crimes. If it goes on, the Federal government needs to go in and fix the problem, replace the state government and state court judges and charge them with crimes and ban them from serving in government for life. I believe that is what the Federal Government did with states of the Confederacy. The Federal Government was less forgiving of the Branch Davidians.

“They just tune out what they don’t want to hear.”

So true. I tell them to listen/read the things they don’t want to. I do and I did. I used to be a leftist, but now I think the center right (pro-life)libertarians are the most logical.

The Republican party is the lesser of evils, so I vote for them.

Trump really rocks! (But I see his mistakes) At least he fights back! I love the fact that he tweets directly to the people with clear English!

The man, who asked to only be referred to as Brandon, said he has been terrified since the protests began.

The man, who asked to only be referred to as Brandon, almost certainly voted Democrat - for the mayor of Seattle and for the governor of Washington who have abandoned him to the mob. Elections have consequences, as a former president Brandon probably voted for once said. Screw him and his terror - live with what you voted for.

THE FUTURE:

White people and responsible ‘people of color’ leave violent cities.

Looting and violence pall over broken cities.

New companies chose cities without racial violence.

In time older established companies leave Seattle as they become noncompetitive. The best people don’t want to live in violent cities.

Stores looted will not rebuild.

Seattle spirals down...

Property values fall,

Thugs move into well maintained homes - slums spread...

Property taxes collected drop. Fewer city services, lower quality cops...

City services cut to the bone - the hellhole births.

SAME FOR NEW YORK... SAME FOR ALL DEMOCRAT CITES LOOTED BY DEMOCRATS.

I don’t disagree with the responsibility. I only point out that every citizen deserves the same basic constitutional rights.

I know some very conservative people who live in Seattle. I would never live there if I could help it because of the politics (and traffic and crush of people), but if I had to live there for work and this was going on in my neighborhood I would be very angry. We cannot say “you voted for it” about everybody.

I have said a few times since this started that the left is overplaying their hand and advocating for anarchy. Let us hope the silent majority renders judgement in November. It is unlikely to happen in Seattle, but there are many swing districts around the country where they are paying attention to this and are horrified.

It took a Mayor Dinkins and chaos in NYC to give us Rudy as Mayor.

While we live in strange times and the far left has gone off the deep end, we still must keep perspective. This is a small number of people relative to our population that is being magnified by a complicit and hysterical media.

The majority wants law and order and prosperity - not chaos. Let us hope and pray that they vote accordingly in November and history says they will.

Its the only reason anyone votes for them. The GOP is a fake party that says one thing and does another.

I wish DJT would start a new party that actually stands for something. Republican voters would leave in droves if there was another option.

Oh yes he is still dim.he wants to go back to peaceful protesting right away, just as soon as the working class first responders clear the meaning out. Man has no brain and no understanding of cause and effect.

Actually I missed that. Thanks.

I agree that taking out the planners and their “lieutenants” in the streets is the key to disabling Antifa. Disrupt the structure, their money sources and their communications. The rest will have no one to follow.
