Here’s a throwback to an old commercial where Robert Conrad dares the audience to knock off the battery

President Donald Trump said he has directed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to keep the federal government from intervening in protests or riots in Democrat-led cities unless local officials request help, while ordering a strong federal response to protect federal property.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump said the administration "under no circumstances" would participate in handling unrest in "poorly run Democrat Cities" unless state or local governments ask for assistance.
He added that federal authorities will "guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings" that come under attack.
Trump said he has instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol to be "very forceful" in protecting federal government property, warning that people who assault officers or damage federal vehicles will face severe consequences.
"There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers," Trump said, adding that the administration would not tolerate attacks such as "rock or brick throwing" at law enforcement vehicles.
"If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence," he said.
*** The president pointed to an incident he said occurred overnight in Eugene, Oregon, claiming "criminals broke into a Federal Building" and caused major damage while "scaring and harassing" employees. Trump criticized local police, saying they "did nothing" to stop the incident.
"We will not let that happen anymore," he said.***

Here’s a throwback to an old commercial where Robert Conrad dares the audience to knock off the battery
The upcoming Civil War will be metro vs rural, a replay of the movie “Escape from New York.”
I think I will side with the group that works together, grows the food, and has weapons.
Let the scum burn the shitholes down.
...and no federal funds to rebuild.
That scum can wander. They will cross into any state and cause chaos. Eventually, something major will have to put a stop to the chaos because the idea is for us to remove illegals. Backing down from that is a win for them. They will continue on.
WWII Pacific Theater analogy
Rural...Ocean
Cities...Islands
This was always Obama’s dream
Taxpayers will FAFO real quick when their communities turn into third world toilets and when it will cost them more and more just to stay there and continue supporting the BS policies of their leaders!
NOW it's not FAFO... it's YOYO!!! Buh bye!!!!!
Heard last week (Mark Levin I think) said 9 counties in the US are doing all of this mess, 3235 counties are not.
Hoping Trump let the left go crazy and at one point he will invoke the insurrection act since the local and/or state police are not doing their jobs of protecting the American citizen.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are depraved and repulsive;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Trump to those citizens, start your own vigilance groups, we’re gone.
Not a few rural areas would go up with a match very easily.
Trump knows how to handle people.
AND, no federal money when these Democrat states or cities come begging for repair/rebuilding funds after riots.
It will be state vs state. The urban areas in blue states will try to subdue their rural areas and vice versa in red states. Some states will have little insurgent opposition. A blue state like NY? I don’t see the rural areas doing anything.
