Days after antifa rioters terrorized Seattle, driving a van full of weapons and explosives with the mob in order to set fires and attempt to blow up police departments, Mayor Jenny Durkan focused her attention squarely on President Donald Trump, accusing him of running a dress rehearsal for martial law. She claimed that Trumps efforts to bolster local law enforcement to combat a rising tide of crime and violence have decreased public safety. In a press conference addressing the antifa riots, Durkan claimed the president wants the violence.
The riots on Saturday followed a protest in support of the antifa rioters in Portland, who have attempted to burn down the federal courthouse and Justice Center in nearly two straight months of violent riots. Seattle rioters used a van packed with fireworks, smoke bombs, stun guns, bear and pepper spray, gas masks, and more. At one point, rioters set off an explosive that blew an 8-inch hole through a wall of the Police Departments East Precinct, the Seattle Times reported. Rioters injured 59 police officers.
Durkan focused her ire on Trump.
I hate to say it, but it looks like this president is doing a dress rehearsal for martial law, sending in federal forces to take over police duties in city after city for political purposes, the mayor told MSNBCs Rachel Maddow on Monday. It is frightening and its making things worse. It has not improved public safety, it has decreased public safety.

Nice mix of ordnance on that Little Bird, some of which I cannot even identify.
Will dynamite be next? Followed by car bombs & suicide bombers?
These people are crazy. I don’t doubt they will do anything to destroy this country.
This is sedition. It should be put down in the strongest, swiftest, most brutal way possible.
Haha. Right on! Great show when I was 10 years old.
Looks like 2.75 FFR, Gatling guns (what I call them) and perhaps some Hellfires on the other stations? Maybe not.
I agree with you regarding a preplanned script. Its the same one used by demonrat congress critters during the Barr hrarings.
It totally blows my mind how people can thing such teisted thoughts on a daily basis.
Low IQ. Democrat. Freak.
Yes, that was my first impression until I read the details...
SO WTH IS the FBI and the ATF??? They just might be RIOTING with the RIOTERS!
We won’t know who won until DECEMBER! And after all the cheating and LAWSUITS, the Democrat ALWAYS wins.
Yes, maybe she could be criminally charged, you know, somewhere around the 23rd century, but the statute of limitations will run out by then. /S
Had to tweet the article with comments:
@MayorJenny
It’s just a Summer of Love...Summer of Love...Buildings roasting on an open fire, laser beams nipping at cops eyes,
Yuletide chanting of “kill the pigs”
And folks dressed up like banditos
It’s just a Summer of Looooooooove!
I forgot about that movie.
Too bad we can’t do something like the end of “Invasion USA” to antifa.
“It’s a trap!”
...script was written before the outbreak...

They WANT martial law so they can yell “Tyrant”.
Instead, Trump just used the Federal Police and other agency LEO. IF the cities get a handle on things, fine: LEO will withdraw. But if they don’t: they stay.
Same with using DPA. Progs are salivating for some sort of Centralized Command & Control so they can transfix Trump in the spotlight.
He’s won’t give them the satisfaction.
They obviously have a checklist. They did the same for ventilators, for PPE,for hospitals they never used; for extra personnel who sat around without work; for testing and now they want GAO oversight of Operation Warp Speed, which will result in a vaccine by October. Progs don’t want a vaccine, so they seek oversight to stop it & then yell Trump didn’t do things fast enough or did it wrong or did it for nefarious reasons.
They have a checklist and an SOP: demand, then criticize the fulfillment of the demand and demand something else.
Everyone sees thru them.
I have previously posted about strangers commenting against the prog actions. Yesterday I met #6, an electrician (male/50s) and today my husband met #7, a guy delivering and setting up a shed. People know we are fighting commies. They resent the h3ll out of it, too.
For those interested, this in Central & SW WI. And in SW WI, suddenly, there are a crop of Trump signs in an area where the progs have been taking over for decades. And many have shown up from the minute our Governor issued an indoor mask mandate.
Look at their sneering faces at the Barr hearing...do they look like theyre on the winning side?
Im afraid so; they think theyre on the winning side and utterly unaccountable.
___________________________
It could be a bit of each: they know they’re losing, but they’re too committed to back down and _as long as we are in the run-up to the election_, they remain unaccountable.
When they lose for real, they will have nothing left to lose and they will unleash absolute hell wherever they can remain unaccountable.
A major problem is the mayoral and Gubernatorial elections are offset from the General. They have 1-2 years left in most prog-run venues.
POTUS has promised them National Guard if they don’t resolve their situations. Obviously, they think they can spin that into ‘Dictator’.
Meanwhile, Americans can watch them sneer and imagine themselves in Barr’s or Trump’s position.
