58. This is how the world sees us

Peaceful protesters, mothers, for christ's sake!, getting gassed and beaten by storm fucking troopers. I hope Trump-Barr's goons sleep well because there's an accounting coming for the absolute anti-American evil they are doing in Portland -- and it won't be pretty for them.

DHS Cheese-dick Wulf claims, hey, dey iss all mit da "politzei" insignia on Der uniforms. But there are no name tags and there is no evidence that these lowlife goons are actual Federal employees or in the pay of a legal-mob-boss like Betsy's brother Eric (Blackwater chieftain and head thug who tried to set up secret, treasonous back-channel between Trump and their true leader, Putin on Seychelle Islands.)

But Barr-Trump have been outed and the rest of the world know what they are and what they are doing. Putin smiles, Xi laughs, Kim must be having laughing apoplexy -- and NATO prepares to build a wall keeping us out. I hope we can survive until November, but even if we do and Biden is able to secure his victory, our national nightmare will just be beginning. The rebuild on the wreck of Trump is going to be long and painful. (Also, of course, without the Dems taking the House and the Senate, there will be no rebuild, just an extension of the stalemate between the wealthy elite fascists and the 99%.)

6. History repeats itself?

I was just watching a program on the History channel about the begining of the American revolution.. The first people killed were in Boston.
British troops were guarding a "federal building" when protestors arrived taunting and throwing snow balls at the brits. The commander said FIRE. Five colonists died in the
Boston Massacre. Sound familiar? History repeating itself.. Boston tea party and the battle of Lexington and Concord to follow..
I just hope some trigger happy Blackwater Federal contractor does not let go..
4 dead in Ohio?

43. Yes. And Jackson State.

Two universities almost simultaneously attacked by armed mobs dressed as militia, who killed several people.

[pazzyanne]

47. Thank you for reminding me of Jackson State University.

That was a scary time, but what is happening now is truly terrifying.

[McCamy Taylor]

33. OMG! That is scary!

As a short, (naturally) blonde female, I have never worried about cops getting rough with me. I am no threat to them at all. But apparently the great big babies of ICE find me really scary...



If they are going after blondes now, no one is safe! This should be a centerpiece in the next Lincoln Project ad and aim it at suburban soccer moms.

[Lonestarblue]

35. We need a Lincoln Project ad on this.

This is how Trump has ordered his nameless, faceless secret police to Treat suburban moms. Moms who are not rioters, who are not anarchists, who are not looters—yet they are being treated like all those things. Trump says he’s for law and order. Then why is he breaking the law and creating nothing but chaos and disorder?

[Richard D]

36. A friend mentioned this absolutely chilling fact

So basically, there is nothing stopping some sick psycho from dressing up in camo, kidnapping a woman, throwing her in a van, and driving off with her.

[Ilsa]

55. Exactly. And Barr knows this, and is counting

on a counterattack leaving a federal agent dead so they can dispense with protests and declare martial law.

[zipplewrath]

37. Where's the militia?

Ya know, all those guys that were ready and armed to defend us from a tyrannical gubberment. Those guys that showed up when the feds tried to collect rent from a cattle rancher.

38. Biden's campaign should use this

Title-Portland Attorney Says Feds Did Not Read Her Rights, Identify Themselves
BY AILA SLISCO ON 7/23/20 AT 12:01 AM EDT


snip--"
An Oregon lawyer says she was arrested by federal agents who refused to identify themselves or read her her rights during protests in Portland on Tuesday.


Attorney Jennifer Kristiansen, 37, was arrested after participating in a protest outside a federal courthouse in Portland, as city officials continued to demand the agents leave the area.

Kristiansen was at the protest as part of the "Wall of Moms," a group of mothers who are attempting to act as a human shield blocking officers from assaulting protesters participating in ongoing Black Lives Matter demonstrations against police brutality and racial injustice."


snip--" After being arrested, Kristiansen was criminally charged with assaulting an agent and failing to obey their orders, while also being issued an order to not return to the protest area. She pled not guilty to the charges, saying that an assault did take place but insisting she was the victim rather than the perpetrator."

53. K&R

This is a very powerful image

[Buckeyeblue]

56. Are they charging people on the federal level?

I didn't realize DHS had policing authority. I thought they were mostly an intelligence organization the focused on monitoring suspected terrorists in our country.

[Demsrule86]

59. As of yesterday,18 people were charged.

I hear they will be charged with terrorism. Big jail time.

[Buckeyeblue]

61. JFC. They can't prove terrorism. They shouldn't even be able to get an indictment.

[Demsrule86]

63. I agree...they are fascist scumbags.

[Buckeyeblue]

64. They are really going after people's money

Defending yourself against bogus charges can bankrupt you. Seems like governors could come up with a creative way to combat them.

[Sloumeau]

60. What idiot told Donald Trump that using tear gas on Moms would get him the Soccer Mom vote? :) nt

[HotTeaBag]

62. No one will see that photo but us.

If you look at what is being shown on Fox and the right's media outlets compared to CNN and MSNBC, you come away with a VERY different view of what's happening.

Fox viewers only see the rioters rioting - even if the rioters photos and video are faked - they never see the actual stuff that the Feds are doing.

[irisblue]

65. So we say nothing then?

JFC man, I talk to ppl in England and New Zealand near daily Man
They see us. They see us.

[HotTeaBag]

66. People in England and New Zealand don't vote in American elections.

(unless of course they are American citizens living there).

They can see us all they want but it doesn't matter - the American voter is the only one it matters to and American voters are the only ones who can do something about it.

Problem is, a lot of Americans don't see the protest BRoll the same way - the right's media machine portrays the protestors as lawless animals, and that narrative is believed.
