“Violent left-wing extremists” and “extremist transgender ideology” are among the most concerning threats facing the country, according to the Trump administration counterterrorism strategy released Wednesday.

The strategy, the first released in President Donald Trump’s second term, underscores how Trump’s priorities differ from predecessors, listing “violent left-wing extremists” as one of its top three focuses, alongside “narcoterrorists” and “Islamist terrorists.”

“It’s also about the ideology, whether it’s against Western Civilization, America, the U.S. Constitution, our friends, our allies, peace in general, you fit under that rubric,” he said.

“Our national counterterrorism activities will prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent, secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-gender or anarchist such as antifa, we will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations,” Gorka said of the modes the administration will use to target the left-wing groups.

A strong case could be made that Trump is currently the greatest threat to "Western Civilization, America, the U.S. Constitution, our friends, our allies, peace in general."

Good American lawyers could make that case. So could our friends and allies.

Our traditional friends and allies, anyway. Not Trump's authoritarian pals.

4. Fucking Sebastian Gorka?

5. So...........Trump will be arrested for his threat to the Constitution??

How about 6 SC justices as well?

[pat_k]

6. And this is where the utter bullshit like going after SPLC comes from

That case will go down, like so many of their other bogus prosecutions.

They might as well just close the counter-terrorism section. They are clearly doing nothing to protect against right-wingnut terror or to protect against retaliation from Iranian Quds Force. (Unless of course one of the Einstein's thinks the Q in Quds stands for Queer).

If they aren't looking anywhere a threat is likely to come from, why f-ing bother?

Decimated resources that would protect the election against hacking already.

Don't you all feel Soooo much safer?

11. WTF is "extremist transgender ideology"

[SergeStorms]

13. It's a focus group......

derived statement to get the MAGA base's blood boiling before elections. In reality, it means absolutely nothing, but it's always played well before. They're bringing it out early this year because the Party of Trump is under water in opinion polls.

14. These morons invent new crisis to scare Fox News viewers into submission.

[SergeStorms]

12. This.....

and other "social" issues are being rolled out again as the republican platform for the November elections. They always do this to get their "base" wound-up tighter than a $3 wristwatch before elections.

Soon, it will be time to bring back the "caravans" of illegals heading for our southern border again.

I'm giddy with excitement.
