SEATTLE -- Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from a neighborhood that protesters have transformed into a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.
Trump taunted Gov. Jay Inslee and Mayor Jenny Durkan about the situation on Twitter and said the city had been taken over by “anarchists."
“Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will,” Trump tweeted.
The “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” sprung up after police on Monday removed barricades near the East Precinct and basically abandoned the structure after officers used tear gas, pepper spray and flash bangs over the weekend to disperse demonstrators they said were assaulting them with projectiles.
The president has sparred before with Inslee and Durkan — both liberal Democrats. Inslee previously sought his party's presidential nomination.
Inslee tweeted Thursday that state officials will not allow threats of military violence from the White House.
“The U.S. military serves to protect Americans, not the fragility of an insecure president,” he tweeted.

And in your proposal—how would one be able to discern the FBI?
As usual, the President knows what he is doing. Other than complain about his tweets, the MSM is ignoring this situation. Responding the President Trump requires them to describe this desecration of democracy to the outside world.
Even the press in eastern Washington is burying this story. President Trump is shining a light on it.
My family is bugging out of the Seattle area.
If you have the ability and means to leave, do so. We no longer have a function nation.
The MSM ignoring the Seattle story is fascinating.
They are just kicking the can down the road—the crazy leftists are not just going to walk away and turn into law-abiding citizens.
My read—they are waiting for some right wing crazy to do something crazy so they can focus on that.
Conclusion: Our best strategy is to publicize the Seattle occupation as far and wide as possible, humiliate the mayor and governor, and shame _them_ into taking action. In addition, we should try to force the Democrats to comment on the Seattle chaos—and to take sides for or against it.
They have handed us a great opportunity—let us make the most of it.

Disney & others embraced Antifa a few years back, then backed off when the violence was reported elsewhere.
Know that the major corps like Disney, ATT, & Comcast are fully embracing the Marxism.
I’m beginning to think the same thing.
Give them enough rope, they’ll hang themselves. Happens every time.
You mean like taking over a National Wildlife refuge for 40 days? They did something.....eventually, but I don’t think you can call 40 days instantly.
We haven’t watched the “news” for decades. We treat them like anyone that we know who lies. They aren’t worth the time of day. life is too short to entertain liars. This has improved our life experience.
Stop then!
I stopped watching Fox News Channel and Fox Business Channel the day after the Me-again Kelly ambush on Donald Trump in the first Presidential Debate on Aug. 6, 2015. Fox News had been making commercials suggestion something was about to happen for days before the event. She could not have gotten away with it unless upper management had signed off on it.
Cut your losses and save your sanity. Stop watching that hate filled network.
Try OANN and Newsmax TV.
It is time to send in the Apache gunships and incinerate the place.
If the cities that allow this are incinerated, the rest of them might get the message that the party is over and the adults are taking charge.
It is way past time.

Except that Gates lives across Lake Washington in a little neighborhood west of Bellevue named Medina. Protesters/Rioters would have to go through Bellevue to get to it....not to mention that any alert that these idiots were on the way would have Gates' security (and you KNOW he has them) go on high alert.
As interesting as it might be, it ain't gonna happen.
And who would do that?
Notice how the MSM fails to mention they are heavily armed and guarding the streets with them.
The FBI murdered Randy Weaver’s wife for standing behind a door.
‘President Donald Trump [is] fuming.’
Wrong. The stupid writer in the lame newspaper has it wrong. The President is not fuming, like a teenager stuck in traffic. Rather, the President is simply showing common sense, ethics and concern for Seattle.
No one seems overly interested in the people who live or work inside this so calked autonomous zone. Such a thing should involve people of one mind going to an empty place to live as the wish. This is a TAKEOVER of other people’s lives and property. As such it is intolorable.
President Trump does not “fume” about anything. More BS from the democrap fake media.
The president will do what needs to be done on his schedule, not the schedule of mentally deranged moonbats.
That is a good point.
But
Many places the utilities are local corporations.
