Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf stated that the Justice Department is looking into arresting leaders of Black Lives Matter (BLM) amid protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake by police officer Rusten Sheskey.
I have a feeling that strategy won’t go well for the feds.
So if black people peacefully protest for being murdered it’s an assault on democracy and the rule of law, and if white people actively say they are trying to overthrow the government, murder police, do a purge, or a pogrum it’s freedom of speech. Or self defense.
Is this a new Soros-jim crow conspiracy?
I don’t get it. An anchor on Fox Business is fired for saying that the Covid-19 pandemic is a Dem hoax (Which is essentially the same thing Mr. Trump says), while Tucker Carlson can call for purely fascist government actions and nothing happens to him?
The DHS chief also stated that the Justice Department is “targeting and investigating the head of these organizations, the individuals that are paying for these individuals to move across the country.”
So if a bunch of people trek to Washinton D.C. to protest inequality, and various members of the public buy their gasoline to get there, give them a free room and buy them their meals while they’re in town, those citizens have “funded” radical terrorists and Bill Barr can target them.
Seems legit.
Being Caucasian is a pretty sweet gig, you have to admit. Everybody should be one.
Way to bring POC voters into your camp.
Not…
This will be fun. In that it will not go well.
Since they’re going full-on reactionary flashback, do they plan to bring back Julius Hoffman as judge for the trial?
ETA: A movie on the Chicago 7 trial is coming to Netflix next month, with a strong cast, including Frank Langella as Julius Hoffman.
Neomi Rao definitely thinks so.
King George tried the same thing with those pesky colonial patriots. That worked out well for England, right?
Are they looking into it “very strongly”?
It’s so bizarre that it’s hard to say if they really have chucked the rule of law or if they are just saying that to pacify he-who-must-be-pacified.
As to the coming election, I look forward to a discussion of “hanging Chad” after the vote is in.
That could be a bit difficult - I have a hard time contemplating who has ‘leader of BLM’ on their resume or LinkedIn profile.
And what will the charges be?
And will Christian organizations open up funding pages for the lawyering up fees?
Jon Stewart was right. Such a dick.
There is no evidence that the protesters are being paid by BLM leaders or anyone else, for that matter, nor is there evidence that BLM is directly responsible for violence at the protests.
Sounds like a job for Bill Barr.
There is no evidence that the protesters are being paid by BLM leaders or anyone else, for that matter, nor is there evidence that BLM is directly responsible for violence at the protests.
Or as any GOP logician would explain, the absence of evidence is conclusive proof of their accusations.
This is complete fabulism. These people are more fucked up than Trump. Presumably, they haven’t gotten brain damage from a stroke.
It’s fun to point out every day that for all the bogey-man talk about Antifa and BLM and George Soros, the Trump admin can’t seem to catch a single one!
The Scarecrows of the GOP are not at risk of brain damage until the Wizard grants their wish.
Which is why it’s imperative to reelect Trump so he can catch all of them (see: ending violence in Democrat run cities).
