I wonder which country(s) is going to get bombed?

Maybe they are trying to clean up the domestic mess that the local governance and law enforcement were unable or unwilling to do ? 

 

For sure, bringing the military on civilian law enforcement is extreme. But the crime has gone extreme in the USA for many years. 

Crime in the US has been declining for many years. 

 

Only mass shootings in schools and public gathering places continues to rise in unchecked. 

 

Creating the illusion of crime and gang violence is merely a tool in Dear Leaders playbook to engender the mass hysteria that allows the cancer of his unchecked, unconstitutional demigogary to metastasise

It's all a misunderstanding.  Hegseth asked his liquor supplier to meet him in Quantico, Virginia, using Signal, but accidently added the entire armed forces command structure to the chat.  A reporter for Pravda will shortly come forward to say he received it as well.  

There is a rumor that he will introduce a new pledge for military readers. They will be ordered to kneel in a long line and Pete will walk along without his knickers on, allowing them to each kiss his pimply bottom and declare "Hail, Satan!"

Trump has just returned from UK where officers swear allegiance to the King.  So maybe he got an idea.

MAGA sycophants seem pathologically unable to comprehend facts or evidence due to  brainwashing, indoctrination and deathcult like worship of a now senile convicted felon pedophile. 

 

The recent speech at the UN was so hauntingly unhinged as to conjure both open laughter from the diplomatic audience and terror that Americans could be so deluded to elect someone so deeply mentally unstable to a position of unchecked power unaccountable to the rule of law 

Lefties like you all sound the same.   What's life like in the echo chamber?

Maybe, maybe not.   

 

More than 6,000 law enforcement agencies were missing from the FBI’s national crime data last year, representing nearly one-third of the nation’s 18,000 police agencies. This means a quarter of the U.S. population wasn't represented in the federal crime data last year, according to The Marshall Project’s analysis.

As well for echo chambers, come on, Fox News, Alex Jones, NewsMax and the hundreds of other right-wing outlets that echo Dear Leader word for word without the slightest fact checking.

No, not at all. 

 

I actually try to keep my distance from American news. 

 

(the past 24 hours, an unfortunate exception) 

 

I live here in Thailand and am happiest to have left all that behind 20 years ago when I moved here. 

 

But, being American, we carry baggage, global taxation for one. 

 

I can never forgive the US for the genocide it directly and indirectly inflicted on 4 million Vietnamese lives lost, 1 in 10,not to mention the surrounding countries as many more. Scorched earth with Agent Orange and Napalm that killed my brother over the coming decades. 

 

Trump is just the current baffoon, the evil goes far deeper.

This MACC group, based on the link you provided, appears to be entirely non-violent,though indeed anarchist, and beyond the similar aim to push back against state capitalism, Oligarchy and rising fascism, has no explicit affiliation with ANTIFA, nor could there be, ANTIFA itself being without organization or structure. 

 

Any other evidence? Or just the incoherent ramblings of your Dear Leader? 

 

MACC is an ANTIFA group, though they do not explicitly portray themselves as such, for obvious reasons.

 

"Antifa is best described as a collection of decentralized organizations that are each comprised of a constantly shifting group of official or unofficial members. The exact structure of each group can vary widely from location to location and many, such as New York’s Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council (MACC-NY) do not explicitly identify themselves as Antifa."

Ideologically, my views don't differ from what you're referring to as "The Left". 

 

In the most generic terms, those on the left are concerned with human rights, whilst those on the right are fixated on property rights. 

 

As for individuals, I differ, FDR yes, though there was that ugliness of the Japanese Internment Camps, Truman No, full stop, other than nominally desegregating the military, LBJs Great Society Yes, but the genocide in Vietnam destroyed his legacy, there just no justification for killing 4 million people to prop up the then most corrupt government in the world, South Vietnam, even Obama, generally yes, first term, but deportation massively increased as did the drone strikes throughout the middle east, creating new generations of enemies.

Stop talking nonsense. ANTIFA were not conjured up by Houdini. These are active groups created by real people.

Probably has something to do with the looming gov't shutdown.  Maybe they will try pull some new stunt with the army taking over the streets or something, trying to blame liberals of course.
