Attorney General Bill Barr is hopping aboard President Trump’s effort to go after “antifa,” an amorphous “anti-facist” movement that has become a bugaboo for some on the far-right, including Trump.
Impeach Barr!
Manufactures “evidence” for Trump and spends tax payer dollars to do it! How crazy and corrupt is that? Such a miscarriage of justice!
If you EVER thought that Donnie and Bill don’t ‘create’ their own crisis and then pretend to solve them, PAY ATTENTION. This is a prime example. ANTIFA! DAMMIT! does not ‘exist’.
President Fat Nixon and Attorney General Fat Mitchell are corrupt to their core and beyond.
Top of their list: TPM subscriber details.
as well as supporters of a far-right mentality referred to as “Boogaloo,”
All people who are determined black, brown or Moslem within the Boogaloo movement will be identified as terrorists. It will be assumed that all others fall into the “good people” category defined by President Trump’s both-sider rants during Charlottesville.
On some level, I am curious if he actually believes this stuff or if he is just pandering to the crazy man in chief.
All secret societies claim to not exist.
Local communities have lashed out against citizens over a misguided — and oftentimes patently false — belief in their allegiance to “antifa”.
In light of the recent CSIS analysis highlighting that 90% or more of all recent domestic terror acts have been the work of right wing groups and individuals, this is both sides-ism of a caliber rarely seen even in Trump’s White House.
Unfortunately, I expect they will have the chance to do damage, follow racist vendettas, and generally corrupt our lives even further.
On the bright side, maybe the task force members will get to wear uniforms…
Perhaps the response is for established hate-monitoring organizations to bombard the “task force” with information about violent right-wing groups – and to do so very publicly, sending copies to the press.
Abundant documentation about these well-armed and threatening groups may help to hijack the task force and force it to confront more pressing threats.
Soon we will have Trumpnacht searching for ANTIFAI.
These anti-government forces, would they include Taliban militants being paid by the Russians to murder American forces in Afghanistan?
In all fairness, at least Klan rallies require masks.
Unless those orgs are getting their star turns here, I think that should be “nebulous”.

Boy, if they think they’ve already seen “Anti-Government Extremism”, they’re gonna really be shocked in November.
The fascist gaslighting will never cease until this foul person is removed.
Barr on Friday directed staff to create a task force focused specifically on countering “anti-government extremists.” The “extremists” reportedly include groups “of all persuasions.”
So he’s making this guy Public Enemy #1 correct?
This is my late Dad at 86 years of age. He was taken from his family by the Nazis when he was 14 and put into forced labour. He didn’t see the rest of his remaining family for over 25 years.
Your guys liberated his camp. He joined up with a Polish/American unit and did his bit at the end of the WW 2. He was ANTIFA then and taught me well.
Referring to this in the nut…though it seems not to be in the article:
‘Barr on Friday directed staff to create a task force focused specifically on countering “anti-government extremists.” The “extremists” reportedly include groups “of all persuasions.” The task force will focus specifically on the nebulas “antifa” movement as well as supporters of a far-right mentality referred to as [“Boogaloo."]’
…though it is all a bit cloudy …
“ASK AGAIN LATER”
