Since the death of Charlie there has been a lot of chest thumping about domestic terrorism…..and the blame aimed toward the Dems and anyone who does not agree with the silly policies of Donny and his compliant thugs….
Donny has floated the idea of putting antifa on the list of domestic terrorist organization.
President Trump announced from the UK, where he is currently on a state visit, that he plans to designate antifa a terrorist organization, though it’s not clear exactly how that will work. The president made the announcement on his Truth Social network around 1:30am local time Thursday, the AP reports. “I am pleased to inform our many USA Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” he wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” As multiple news outlets including Politico are pointing out, however, it’s unclear how Trump can carry out his plan.
Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is an umbrella term for groups that resist fascism and neo-Nazis, and as it’s a decentralized movement, it’s not clear how the terrorist group label could be applied. Former FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a 2020 Congressional hearing that antifa is “a movement or an ideology,” not an organization. And since it’s domestic, it can’t be included on the State Department list of foreign terror organizations. There is currently no domestic equivalent, partially because of the First Amendment rights afforded to US groups. Trump on Monday said he would designate antifa a domestic terror organization if his cabinet, including the attorney general, agreed, Fox News reports. In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shooting, multiple members of the Trump administration have indicated plans to halt any criticism of the rightwing activist.
Blondi will do whatever the half-wit wants and put a non-existent organization on the domestic terrorists list. IDIOTS!
In fact this is just red meat for morons!
For those that are slow on the uptake….antifa is NOT an organization….there is NO national headquarters, No national leader, No membership dues….it is NOT an organization….it is a group of people that are not afraid to confront Nazis and anyone who espouses their twisted thinking.
So for MAGA idiots and their disgusting leader to keep beating a dead horse….most of the violence comes in from the Right….
Within the past few days, the Department of Justice deleted one of its own studies from its website showing that “far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”
The timing comes just a few days after Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested and charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child. The state is seeking the death penalty.
Kirk was a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, encouraging the young voters in his organization to vote for Trump during his presidential campaigns and speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last year. In the wake of Kirk’s death, Trump and other Republicans have broadly blamed the “radical left” for the shooting.
The deletion of the study from the DOJ website was flagged by Daniel Malmer, a PhD student at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill who is studying “online extremism, radicalization, and conspiracy beliefs.”
That is what they do…..delete anything that contradicts their desired outcome…..classic authoritarian move.
I pity the morons that support this demented slug for this will come back and bite them in the ass….and I will smile for they deserve everything that comes.
+++A closing thought–this will be it for today because I return to the hospital for more poking, prodding and scanning….I shall return tomorrow…..you have been warned.+++
Peace Out!
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I trust the “poking, prodding and scanning” will bring more good news than bad.
I will know next week have 2 doctors appointments to review my scans…..chuq
It’s all from ‘The Dictator’s Manual’. They start with this, and before you know it neighbours are informing on ‘undesirables’, and everyone is terrified to speak a word out of turn. It feels as if the USA has been lost to Fascism. You only need to read ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ to see where it will end.
Best wishes, Pete.
It is true we are losing the battle…..chuq
Assuming he won’t try to declare martial law to avoid the midterms next fall, we will have to see if enough of us do NOT want A Dictator and give the power back to Congress. For those Trump supporters who always scream nasty things at me here, rather than attack my comment you should read what impact his “big beautiful bill” is going to have on you when some of those cuts become law…
There is the problem John….no one wants to know the truth for it would confuse them…..chuq
Well put
I am still looking for this ‘domestic terrorists list”…..chuq
