I heard this morning on Fox & Friends he called for the arrest  of Obama, Hillary, and Biden, and that Biden should be banned from being allowed to run for president.  I don't have the stomach to look that up myself.

 

 

What happen to the topic 13 arrested!

They were apparently inspired by POTUS.

"Liberate Michigan!"

How's that?

Perhaps this will concentrate the mind of the divisive WH occupant, and why has he not spoken LOUDLY to condemn the alleged actions of this group of people.  Not even a "stand down and stand by" proclamation 

 

It is because he and his group might just be concentrating on the election from a different standpoint, or better yet working on a defense to the Dems new attach plan of using the 25th Amendment to remove him, then Pence from the Whitehouse so that Nancy can become the de-facto President of the US, but then this is all sarcasm on my part.  All politicians are corrupt in one way or another.

It's called desperation.  And he's demanding that AG Barr do it before the election.  Barr doesn't realize that whatever he does is never enough for this President.  It's "what have you done for me lately" all the time. 

I think it’s a delusional disorder probably from the steroids or immense stress from his failing re-election campaign. Each day we see more derange behaviors and he is giving less effort to govern. Pelosi is doing him a favor with the 25th amendment.

Could this be the genesis of this militia group?

 

It would be difficult to deny that that statement is a call at very least for anarchy.

Well, it's interesting, he's put out some nasty posts today about the governor, but he hasn't gotten around to denouncing the guys involved in the plot, the plot itself or terrorism.   Hmmm....

Won't some folks feel stupid if it does turn out to be anarchists and not white supremists.

Yes, we do know.

You can call these criminals “far-right anarchists” if you find it important to point out both their ideology and how they pursue their ideology. Do you feel stupid now for not realizing that the one doesn’t exclude the other? ????

I most certainly don't support this, but just for clarity; the name is not from the comics or movie as you may think.  Michigan, my home state, "It has been generally accepted that Michigan was nicknamed "The Wolverine State" for the abundance of wolverines that once roamed the peninsula. ... It's said that Ohioans, at that time, referred to Michiganians as "...as vicious and bloodthirsty as wolverines."

Thirteen people, including seven men associated with the Wolverine Watchmen militia group, have been arrested for alleged plots to take the Michigan governor hostage and attack the state capitol building, prosecutors said on Thursday.

Makes me wonder how many of the ideas were planted by the Feds who infiltrated the group?

I don't think anyone has to hold his breath waiting to see who these guys are. The FBI has already indicated their affiliation and the person they support.

 

Attempts at deflection are pointless, though everyone from "Gateway Pundit" to ingraham on fox is trying hard to deflect from the person who fomented that sort of terrorism.

I just love this about-turn in the "what-is-evil-today" brigade.

 

I'm sure there are many who subscribe to ThaiVisa who remember that once upon a time the worst thing you could ever be was a "commie".  Kill a commie for Christ.  We all remember that from the Vietnam War.

 

And now the American public "debate" has sunk to the point where people come on here and believe every single word in this piece of hackery.  Or if not "believe" ...fail to ask the question as to why something that was on FBI wire-taps in JUNE only sees the light of day within 3 weeks of the election.

 

But no of course this question is not asked, because to ask this would be to possibly expose the corruption of the Democratic political class.

 

[And, just btw,  anyone who sees no difference between white supremacists and anarchists is in serious need of an education in the history of western civilization.]

 

 

 

 

It takes time to build a solid case and if the case were not solid you’d be complaining about unwarranted accusations and harassment.

 

None of the accused are standing for office in the election and surely if the arrest of White Supremacist Terrorists reflects poorly on any candidate who is standing for election then the question has to be, is that candidate fit for office.

 

 

As for the ‘timing’ (something Trump supporters obsess over these days) - It is what it is.

President Trump on Thursday twice referred to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as a "monster" following her debate performance against Vice President Pence the evening prior. Trump’s comments, made in his first interview since his coronavirus diagnosis, were made during an exchange about Biden’s fitness for office. Trump claimed that Biden “won’t be president for two months” if elected because he is not “mentally capable of being president,” before tearing into Harris.

 

Is Trump now totally unhinged? You be the judge. He is panicked. His numbers are dropping daily, and he is facing the greatest humiliation of his lifetime, and he is melting down before our eyes. 

 

I don't know about "monster", but let's face it, thousands of Democrat voters told her to eff off last year as she plummeted in the votes of her very own party!!!!

Clearly, those clear-sighted Democrat voters saw something extremely ugly in this woman, and they voted accordingly.

Clearly there were more "clear-sighted" than near sighted as HRC got 3 mill more votes than trump. This majority saw something extremely ugly in this man(-child) and they voted accordingly.

Clearly you are imagining the motives of millions of people you don’t know.

 

Kamala Harris is on the Democrat VP candidate ticket, you should try to get used to that.

Care to provide a link to FBI reports as to the affiliation?  I've not found it.  I make no predictions.  Could be right wing racist nutjobs or left wing antifa nutjobs.  Pretty sure nutjobs will fit as part of the description in the end.

She was a horrible Attorney General for California, and an even worse District Attorney in San Francisco.
