1. Just like the Nazis at Charlottesville.

Very fine people.

[unblock]

2. in fact, just like the nazis when they got the reichstag to approve the enabling act

armed terrorists threatening legislatures while they try to conduct official business??

whoever said it could never happen here isn't coming close to paying attention!

[ThoughtCriminal]

3. Except this time he did not say "Both sides"

In his view, only the terrorists are good people.

[calcetines]

8. Good catch.

Very telling that he doesn't say that. Guess he doesn't support the duly elected officials, nor those following the guidelines.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

32. Would HE tolerate this kind of behavior in the White House ?

I doubt it.

Confronted by armed terrorists, yelling and screaming, he'd piss himself and run behind the Secret Service Agents.

[underpants]

7. What I immediately thought of and what he meant

I’d be surprised if that wasn’t a wink to the Nazis

[DesertRat]

4. Home-grown terrorists. k&r

[Ilsa]

5. I bet if black men with masks showed up with

those same guns, everyone with a badge would be there to arrest them.

[SergeStorms]

24. Arrest?

They'd be mowed down in a hail of gunfire. Any that survived would then be arrested.

[Ilsa]

30. Oh yeah, I forgot. Shoot first, ask questions later.

What was I thinking?

[Initech]

6. It's almost like they're trying to cause chaos.

[lastlib]

19. They absolutely are!

I have zero doubt that they want to disrupt government function so as to produce government paralysis, and thereby induce public fear. They thrive on chaos, and the chaos works to Shitgibbon's advantage. I wish I knew how to fight them, short of shooting them or burning them out of their houses.

[Initech]

20. Boring is bad for TV ratings.

[ChoosenWisely]

9. Political bs in Michigan

This is meant to intimidate the Democratic minority in our Michigan legislature. If the protesters were there to try to intimidate the Republicans, the House or Senate Republican Majority leaders would have had them thrown out and barred from coming back in.

They are looking for a fight with the Dems as an excuse to call in Trump and AG Barr because their cibal rits were abuzed.

This is a small minority of people protesting (about 200) out of the 9+ million in Michigan. The news channels don't have anything else to broadcast so they sensationalize the 200 tin hats militia wanna-bees that protest.

Gov. Whitmer will not back down.

[C Moon]

37. I agree. In Huntington Beach, media was saying THOUSANDS protest...it was more like a few hundred.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

38. +1...nt

[UpInArms]

10. Contrast to the treatment of the ND pipeline protesters

[AtheistCrusader]

23. Well, peaceful protestors are unarmed, after all.

[cp]

11. To all media: accurate word is Terrorist

[Roc2020]

12. Do they actually believe they are helping

Trump with this kind of behavior? or do they just want to show off their big guns? because this behavior is only pushing Dems to vote more than we are pushed and motivated already.

[PatrickforO]

16. Well, sure. All of us are going to crawl over broken glass if necessary

to vote against Trump.

But the question is: Will the Independents, who outnumber us, do the same - make it a point to vote for Biden? Will the Millennials? Hopefully the answer is yes.

[benfranklin1776]

13. Modern day brown shirts.

Encouraged by der Fuhrer. Also unAmerican seditious treasonists, demonstrating their fealty to Jefferson Davis and Nathan Bedford Forrest.

[TxVietVet]

14. Remember the Ukraine War that is still going on?

Putin aka tRump's boss used the same tactic in the Ukraine. "Civil" War is the end result. Send in armed "protesters".

Just saying........

[benfranklin1776]

29. Great point.

And I agree. Malcolm Nance has warned us of this very type of destabilization activity by the orange one’s Russian handler.

[rwsanders]

31. I was thinking the same thing and was wondering if anyone else was catching it. This was

allowed as a warning to the rest of us, not just the democratic legislators.
Right leaning officials in the government will allow this to go on. This election may be hell.

[PatrickforO]

15. This is pretty scary, Earl.

If we had any kind of presidential leadership at all, and not Trump, they'd be rolling in the tanks. I'd be rolling in the tanks, or at least calling out the Guard. Because these are nazi dirt bags.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. MAY DAY, MAY DAY, MAY DAY.....THIS IS THE U.S. CALLING

Dictionary Definitions of three words to think about when you see these armed asswipes demonstrating:


Insurrection......an act of revolting against civil authority or an established government.........

Sedition.......incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority........

Cabal.....the contrived schemes of a group of persons secretly united in a plot.


AND MOST NOTICEABLY ABSENT FROM ALL OF THESE RIGHT WING DEMONSTRATIONS IS ANY POLICE INTERVENTION.....

They are once again begging for an OHIO? STATE..........

[Haggis for Breakfast]

33. Are you referring to Kent State ?

[DENVERPOPS]

34. Bingo.....Thx

[Haggis for Breakfast]

35. May 4, 1970.

I lived about 40 minutes from Kent State.

Scared the Hell out of all the parents.

[DENVERPOPS]

41. It should have

frightened the shit out of every citizen in the U.S. to the depths of their soul........as should everything else that's been going on in the U.S. ever since....

[Ford_Prefect]

17. Did they have live ammunition in the weapons or on their persons?

Most law enforcement I know of frown on displaying armed long weapons. Jurisdictions and Judges usually do too. Conveying a threat and reckless endangerment come to mind.

If my they had suits and ties on, and brandished long weapons they'd look like the mobsters they are following.

[ancianita]

18. Thanks for helping Democratic voter turnout, guys!

[rainy]

21. Where are the riot police now???

Oh yea they only show up when the left is protesting

[SergeStorms]

25. How many are there, maybe 100 or so?

The significant few once again ride roughshod over the insignificant many. Why give these misanthropes all the press? Because that's what the press does. There wouldn't be controversy if they didn't, and controversy leads on the nightly news.

Do I often answer my own questions? Why yes, yes I do, thank you. I'm in a crowd when I'm all alone.

[Crowman2009]

26. Funny how these white terrorists hate islamic terrorists, but love to copy them.

Be it the beards, wanting a religious law based on their favorite book, weapons fetish, etc.

[Crowman2009]

27. The main reason the police do nothing...

... is because they are either friends with these terrorists or related. Just sayin'!

[DENVERPOPS]

42. Yes Sir Crowman

Most of the people in this nation have no idea how right you are......

People on the left need to realize that for the most part if they think they can rely on the Police and Military they need to wake up....
If all hell breaks loose across the nation politically, watch out.....

Remember the Federal Governments massive outfitting of local police departments across the nation with bunches of military equipment and vehicles???

As I remember, Cheney/Rumsfeld even tried to repeal the Posse Comatatus Act and failed......

WASF

[Crowman2009]

43. I forgot to mention how racist websites are encouraging their fellow racist to join..

...the police/military as well.

[Crowman2009]

28. The press should call these terrorists for what they are:

-Meal Team Six
-Flu Klux Klan

Any other names my fellow DUers can come up with?

[orleans]

36. why is this open to the public???

i don't get why it's not closed to the public because it obviously should be!

[PatSeg]

39. "These are very good people"

Translation: "These are my voters."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

40. Graphic on point, but thanks for removing from Home page; hard to look at constantly. . . . nt
