and protest those hotels and restaurants. Take lots of pics to erase the " anonymity" of the Feds and post all over social media.

4. Their Battle Equipment/Dress Looks So Sinister.....

Who picked out their uniforms?

The picture I get in my mind is that someone presented Trump with mock-ups of the potential uniforms that these goons could be outfitted with - and that he chose the most sinister looking uniform for them to wear.

When you see pictures of these goons - they really are intimidating.

The other thought that comes to mind when I see pictures of them - is that I wonder what is going through their mind when they are in the process of beating on peaceful protesters? Are they thinking - It's a job and I'm just doing my job? Or are they thinking that they are really Trump's private army and they are serving their master?

The other thing that goes through my mind is that because they have no identification on their uniforms and they basically use unmarked rental vehicles - anybody can copy their uniforms and join them on the streets. The fact that you can't see their faces - what's to prevent armed militia men that play war games in the backwoods of our nation from dressing like them, infiltrating and start detaining and beating on innocent Americans?

I never want to hear this again - 'elections have consequences'.

Just look at how this country deteriorated in such a short time. When will this end? Will it end?

Though it could get very dicey if they were discovered.

Name them, publish their names and home towns. They are traitors to our Democracy and deserve to be known to the country.

I would think he'd take advantage of that situation and make them stay at one of his properties. You know - to make a few extra bucks.

But a quick Google didn't help me confirm -- needs a deeper look.

Kinda hard to miss the camo guys traipsing thru the free breakfast line.
