The United States of America is starting to resemble a Target in Minneapolis, overrun by lawless mobs and left for dead by the very leaders charged with upholding the rule of law.
Today, we are witnessing the wealthiest, freest, and greatest country in the history of the world, which took more than 240 years to build, being burned to the ground at the hands of radical leftists motivated primarily by anarchy and a Marxist agenda, not racial justice. Compared to previous generations and their peers who sign up to defend America, these folks have contributed precious little to society. Yet, somehow, they have found a way to bend America to their will. How? Because most of our nation’s political class won’t stand up and lead.

If conservatives.. Christians.. were given the leeway to do whatever we want to do.... we are nice people and there would be no looting... no destruction of out nation’s history... we might build a house for someone .. we might do some cleaning....
But look at what the crazies are doing... they have no use for this nation., they have been sold a bill of goods by teachers, professors, media... and tv .. and if they were as smart as they think they are, they’d not let another person fool them... they’d go look up some truth for themselves....
but no... they want to be miserable and make everyone else as miserable.
this is the argument some are making as to why Antifa can’t be declared a terrorist org:
updated 1 Jun: KIRO7: Can Trump declare antifa a terrorist organization?
By Debbie Lord, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
Since there is no domestic terrorism law, the federal government can only sanction foreign groups that commit terrorist acts against the United States or its citizens.
“There is no authority under law to do that — and if such a statute were passed, it would face serious First Amendment challenges,” Mary B. McCord, a former head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, told the New York Times. “But right now, the only terrorist authority is for foreign terrorist organizations.”...

‘top “domestic terror” threat’:
Wikipedia: Earth Liberation Front
The ELF was founded in Brighton in the United Kingdom in 1992, and spread to the rest of Europe by 1994. It is now an international organization with actions reported in 17 countries...
The ELF was classified as the top “domestic terror” threat in the United States by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in March 2001, and its members classified as eco-terrorists...

I love this idea. Move the capitol the same week you disband about 90% of the federal agencies. Leave troops at the capital to protect monuments, but take the business of congress somewhere else, maybe rotate every couple of years to prevent entrenched lobbyists. Enact term limits, then I think we could actually begin cleaning up this mess.
Bring the hammer down. Make them see sparkles!
Sounds good to me...especially disbanding the agencies!
George Washington’s first capital was NYC, where they are now tearing down his statue. In 1790, Congress specified that the Capital should be on the Potomac...so the current DC could be the official but symbolic capital and people could, in a sense, work offsite. That is, they could be distributed, with the President perhaps living in his state and other agencies being placed in relevant sites. I think Trump tried to do this (I think he was going to relocate the BLM or some other similar agency to a ranching and farming state) but I’m not sure what happened.
I’m not joking, I think it would be a great idea, and since most of the Congress critters and others have been working remotely or not working at all, they don’t really need to be able to sit in one place, stew In their own ugly juices and plot.
But its not an Domestic terrorist group:
“The modern Antifa movement, which has no formal link to the first Antifa, also began in Germany — West Germany at the time — in the anarchist squatter movement of the 1980s. The organization then largely fought against the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD), which has recently all but vanished in the polls, scoring just 0.4 per cent of the vote in the 2017 national election. The modern Antifa movement has embraced anarchism as well as communism; their logo emulates that of their 1930s incarnation but portrays the black flag of anarchism alongside the red flag of international socialism and communism.”
Even if they aren’t, he took and oath to defend the constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. We treated Communists as a foreign, domestic enemy in the 50’s. Time to dig up Joe McCarthy!
PING!
