On Sunday, President Trump took aim at Antifa, which apparently has driven the violent side of the protests ripping through America's Democrat-run cities. With full-throated support from Attorney General Barr, Trump is designating Antifa as a terrorist organization. This is an extremely important announcement because Antifa is more than just a terrorist group. It is, in fact, the paramilitary arm of the Democrat Party.
*snip*
Antifa claims to be Anti-Fascist, so people think it’s a good organization. It’s not.
When fascism appeared in the 1930s, its biggest enemy was communism. This was not because fascism and communism were antithetical ideologies. It was because they were sister totalitarian ideologies, both arising out of socialism, with both competing for the same voters. The Antifa of the 1920s and 1930s in Germany, therefore, wasn’t a peaceful democratic movement seeking to stand against all forms of totalitarian socialism; it was, instead, a violent communist group engaged in bloody internecine warfare with Hitler’s fascists.
Lest you have any doubt that today's Antifa is the direct descendant of the violent communist group in Hitler’s Germany, just compare the logos. Here’s the original Antifa logo:

The pressure point for the Antifa terrorists is federal law-enforcement.
Federal law criminalizes their use of interstate organizational activities.
If the FBI balks, Wray must be fired.
Fed LE is not under the control of leftist DAs, police chiefs & mayors. For too long you had Democrat cities pulling back police & releasing rioters immediately w/o serious charges.
By reviewing arrest records, the FBI can determine potential candidates for federal charges.
And @realDonaldTrump can score huge political victories by highlighting Democrat politicians who obstruct his prosecutions.
People will not tolerate covering for rioters who may have committed federal crimes. Make the Dems side with the thugs or alienate their base.
When the first of these little trust fund sissies figures out he’s not walking out of his cell after 20 minutes with a $50 fine but looking at five years in Leavenworth on a Fed rap, he’ll squeal on his comrades.
This is an opportunity to destroy Antifa root and branch, and to eliminate the armed wing of the Democrat party. Forever. They miscalculated and overstepped - America is absolutely against them and this is the time for @realDonaldTrump to strike a fatal blow against them.

I remember that article...and I remember Kyle-Anne Shiver. I wonder where she is now?
So you are saying, if obama did it, it ok?
Logic of a four year old.
Thx for that. That is the REAL flag (Antifaschistische Aktion).
10 U.S. Code § 252.Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority
Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.
Antifa is an international organization backed by foreign AND domestic players.
This is way bigger than riots.
Logic of a four year old.
I think he is saying the left doesn't respect the Constitution or the rule of law, so to expect the Constitution or the rule of law to protect you from the left is naive.
Is this now a done deal?
Sight.
I am saying that the Democrats will do it anyways, irrespective of what Trump does to ANTIFA, cause the Democrats have ALREADY been doing it for decades.
Plenty of ways of prosecuting organized criminals, who happen to be American, without making up sh!t, violating the constitution or using the methods of previous marxists that were wrong.
“I think he is saying the left doesn’t respect the Constitution or the rule of law, so to expect the Constitution or the rule of law to protect you from the left is naive.”
Here’s what the ACLU is sending out:
“George Floyd should still be alive.
Tony McDade should still be alive.
Breona Taylor should still be alive.
Michael Brown should still be alive.
Eric Garner should still be alive.
Sandra Bland should still be alive.
Philando Castile should still be alive.
[personal name], no one should have to live in fear of being killed by the police, but for centuries Black and Brown people have been targeted, harassed, and murdered at the hands of law enforcement in this country.
It is on all of us to fight for a world where being Black in America isn’t a death sentence.
Following the tragic killing of George Floyd, a Black man, by Minneapolis police earlier this week – the ACLU and our affiliate the ACLU of Minnesota are jointly calling for a fair, independent, and transparent investigation.”
And then they ask for money.
Sure, but it’ll be a lot easier to get plenty of rank and file charged under 2101 “the riot act” who will be facing 5 years with no parole, hard time, and they will give up their leadership who will face much more time.
F Target.
Our local Target store (city of 30k) was looted last night by non local utes from Madistan and surrounding environs. 20 cars full of utes. But only two people in 1 car were apprehended after a high speed chase (trying to get back to their territory)
IDC about Che Targe. But what pisses me off- 1 car out of twenty... that’s keystone cop level of BS.
Not that I can see Bing searching for it. Everything is future tense.
Every member and anyone who has donated to that terrorist DEMOCRAT organization should have all their money, property, wealth confiscated immediately.
It is not enough to merely designate them with a word they most likely wear proudly.
ANTIFA is a communist front organization that advocates the complete overthrow of the US government by any means necessary, including violence and death.
It is time the DEMOCRAT party was held responsible.
The terrorist designation allows just that.
From their trans-friendly restrooms.
