As antifa militants have taken over six blocks of Seattle’s Capitol Hill district, calling it the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” or the “People’s Republic of Capitol Hill,” Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has refused to act, and Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) actually laughed about this open revolt, claiming he hadn’t heard about it. He did say, however, that he was demobilizing the National Guard. President Donald Trump told Durkan and Inslee to get their acts together, stat.
“Radical Left Governor [Jay Inslee] and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before,” the president tweeted. “Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!”

President Trump is correct — this is not a game. Roughly 500 Americans live in the six city blocks that antifa militants have claimed in the name of their revolution. The anarchists in the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” appear to have set up an extortion racket to blackmail local businesses into forking over supplies.
Yet Jay Inslee appears to think it is a game.

Yeah, that thought has been rolling around in my head. I find myself wondering if the federal government doesn't have the will to work covertly, then how can it possibly have the willpower to work overtly? That reasoning leads to dark places.
Everyone knows PT can't end proclamations issued on a state level. You had governors step up and say, in effect, That's our decision and not yours.
Trump: "Okay."
The state governments own it. There's no doubt PT would open economies if it was his call. RAT governors, not so much. In an election year.
PT says, "Clean it up or else!"
Mayorjenny and Jay "Il Dunce" Inslee: WE don't approve!"
They own the dumpster fire, on record against any efforts to correct it.
PT, IMO, has decided upon a strategy of emphasizing the radical nature of the Left versus solid, responsible leadership. Drawing a contrast. On any issue, trigger the insanity, then say, "Sad!"
The left is like a cat chasing a laser pointer.
Rather than argue, I’ll refer you to the book: 4th Generation Warfare Handbook.
The strategy you are pushing is playing into their hands. It’s one where you win the battle, but lose the war.
How about, "When it comes to dealing with the Left and the lying media, the shortest distance between two points is NEVER a straight line."
Nope, Trump’s gotta sit back on this one and let Insleeaze and Jenner — I believe that’s the name of Seattle’s idiot mayor — own this.
BUT
When Insleeaze finally gets desperate enough to ask Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, I think everything should be brought to bear on these Dumpster Fire idiots. Hopefully, the result will be a lot of Marxist loons testing the tensile strength of numerous Seattle lamp posts.
Atually, the MSM — the Enemy of the American People — will either ignore Trump’s success or portray the action as a fascist takeover. JMO.
Our governor did that in GA - the first night of the riots, he stayed quiet and CNN and many other areas were ransacked and looted. The dem mayor went to him the next day and asked for help. When he sent in help (NG), he made sure that it was known that she asked for him to step in.
Exactly. They still are. Under 35's are empty and confused about politics despite, or because of, parental guidance in the teenage years.
Then again, downtown Seattle is pretty much a no-go zone anyway so this is nothing new for city residents.
