Beyond extraordinary how dishonest the press in this country is and continues to be - anarchists taking over and occupying an area is reported as the President "fuming" about people having a festival.

[nwrep]

Whatever happens, will be portrayed as Trump’s fault.

[OttawaFreeper]

If it's a Festival, where is Landru?

[cuban leaf]

Woodstock was a “festive zone”. If it had gone on another few day’s there would have been nothing festive about it.

A person can go without food for a few days. Then it stops being fun.

[ronnie raygun]

Making every attempt to antagonize trump into doing something. Sit and enjoy the show Mr President its in their house not ours, just another homeless camp in a democrat utopia

[hanamizu]

So if armed Proud Boys cordon off a Seattle neighborhood and start charging business owners “taxes” will ABC news refer to that as ‘festive’? Will the mayor order police out of the neighborhood and Inslee feign ignorance of its even happening?

And what if someone tries to pull down Lenin’s statue? Will that be OK?

[Chgogal]

It is impossible to watch the news, even FNC! Cavuto is just as bad as MSM.

[rrrod]

Let the people of Seattle suffer...all of them.

[Pox]

Enemies of America.

College faculty. Around %90 or so.

Mainstream Media. Around %90 or so.

democrat politicians. Around %95 or so.

[Hadean]

Let it burn

[Sam Gamgee]

A part of me wants him to send in the guard and break some heads.

[colorado tanker]

Trump should just stop it. Let this play out. It will not end well for the libs who run Seattle and Washington State. It will show the American people what a socialist hell-hole looks like.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Warlord naming himself the new police while toting an AK47 and checkpoints where people who refuse to show ID are beaten.....SO FESTIVE!

They have literal signs literally stating you are leaving the USA when entering the CHAZ

[mware]

Festive????

[Steve_Seattle]

" . . . 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.'"

I can't believe how they are spinning this. It doesn't look like a very "festival-like" scene. It's already beginning to resemble a homeless camp, with tents pitched in and around the streets, and even though the article puts the word "anarchists" in quotes, as if it's some Trumpian exaggeration or misrepresentation, that is what many of the "protesters" call THEMSELVES. And what DO you call a group of people who claim to have seceded from the country and set up their own little "autonomous" nation?

It is an illegal occupation of public and private property, not a "festival." There are already indications that the group is preparing for violence if/when the authorities properly throw them out. They are reportedly demanding protection money from businesses in the area, they are controlling who can come into the area, they are brandishing rifles, and are trying to obtain chemicals to use to make bombs in the event of a confrontation with police.

[V_TWIN]

It took TWO left wingers to write this tripe?

[sheehan]

the affirmative action police chief in Seattle just threw the mayor under the bus by stating that the decision to abandon this area was ‘not her decision’ (and covering her ass)

[Cuttnhorse]

Wait until the morons continue to expand their “zone”.

[Paleo Pete]

1. Let it fester for a few days. Be patient.
2. Then surround the place with seriously overwhelming military force. I’m talking thousands...
3. At the same time, shut off all water, electricity, cell towers, incoming foot or vehicle traffic. Nobody goes in or out period. Yes a few civilians might be uncomfortable.

Wait them out.

No food, no water, no utilities, no matter how many armed thugs they have at their fence, 3 of 4 days going hungry and they won’t have much fight left.

Then arrest every damn one of them.

[IndispensableDestiny]

The “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” is Seattle's and Washington State's problem, not Trumps. He has no power to do anything about it unless the state asks for help.

I'm kind of enjoying it as an example of leftist stupidity.

[HarleyD]

I think Trump should just sit back and enjoy Seatle destroying itself. I’d love to see the protesters march on Bill Gates’ house.
