1. Time to declare this domestic terrorism. And treat it accordingly.

[Initech]

55. Forget the domestic label, this is actual terrorism here.

The MAGAs aren't any different from Al'Qaeda or ISIS here.

[Bayard]

2. This asshole TFG is not worth dying for, good buddy

[tiredtoo]

3. And it begins.

Where and when will it end?

[SergeStorms]

20. With them dead, seriously wounded....

or in prison. They cannot succeed.

I think a lot of these guys are so miserable in their lives they'd prefer death to living.

Like this wingnut: suicide by Cop.

[DENVERPOPS]

25. The Republicans never think of

The Law of Unintended Consequences........

Every action has a re-action. Ask all those hundreds of insurrectionists at the Capitol that have found their collective asses in Jail...

In my opinion they were damn lucky that "SOMEONE" ????? ordered the Capitol Police, the DC Police and the Guard to stand down.
Otherwise there would have been many of the insurrectionists who would have gone down............

[AKwannabe]

37. Knew something would go down soon

You did too apparently

Scumbags all. And not sure it will “end”.

This fucking clown is way worse than Waco David Koresh.

[sagetea]

52. yes, it is beginning

or in the middle. I live in a red state surrounded by his supporters, and all day yesterday and this morning have been gun shots. More than usual, my dogs have been going nuts!


sage

[SergeStorms]

62. That's how they work out their frustration.

By firing a few hundred dollars worth of ammo into tree stumps and such. Then they pick up the casings and reload.

I don't worry about people like that. Its the quiet nuts that bother me, like the dipshit in Texas who killed all those school children. Those people aren't out in country firing rounds into trees. Most of them are keyboard commandos living in urban or suburban communities. They only shoot when their minds snap and decide to take bunches of people with them.

Those are the loons. They usually leave a lot of clues online right before they decide to do their dirty work. Most are determined to die by "suicide by Cop". Misfits who don't fit in anywhere.

[Initech]

57. The MAGAs are becoming a full blown terrorist faction.

Really is there any difference between them and Al'Qaeda or ISIS or Boko Haram?

[Zambero]

4. Oh, now I get it

The MAGAt approach to law enforcement, be it federal or local. Don't go to all the trouble of defunding them. Just shoot them.

[Bluethroughu]

18. Any other domestic terrorists would rounded up and charged

With terrorists threats and activies, but maybe this is not happening because there are a lot of retired and active duty military, police and fire...just like 1/6.

These people no matter their job, hate our Country and are domestic terrorists.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. They were for it before they were against it. Right? Now they want to kill law enforcement?

[SergeStorms]

74. But carry a "Blue Lives Matter" flag.

It confuses the hell out of the Cops.

[dalton99a]

5. Hope Trump gives this brave hero a posthumous award

[SergeStorms]

22. "The Enlarged Heart".

With clusters, for unthinking support of an egocentric charlatan.

Awarded posthumously, of course.

[zanana1]

6. Sometimes I almost feel sorry for these deluded idiots.

Almost.

[SergeStorms]

28. These people were miserable assholes...

before Trump even came along. Their lives have been so meaningless and distasteful since they were born.

Trump gave them someone to rally around. In the most inane and pointless fashion, Trump gave them something to live for, which they never had before.

Now, some of these miscreants are happy to die for this ridiculous and unrequited fondness they feel for this criminal snake-oil salesman.

Fuck 'em.

[underpants]

7. Sorry but do we know it's Trump related?

[Kaleva]

8. A guess

[bigtree]

9. attack on FBI days after FBI search of Trump's residence

...amid calls for retaliatory attacks on law enforcement.

Just a guess.

[SergeStorms]

29. What are the odds?

2 to1, at best. He's a Trumpy-boy. No doubt.

[bigtree]

46. or, just a tourist

...wearing body armor whose nail gun accidently went off inside the FBI building, who just started firing at police with an AK from a corn field after chase.

Who among us hasn't gone to a FBI office in body armour with a hair-trigger nail gun in one hand and an AK in the other?

[SergeStorms]

54. Happens to everyone. Right?

Just a normal day.

[EYESORE 9001]

10. It is quite a coincidence

[dameatball]

16. Maybe he's just pissed off that he drives a white Crown Vic.

[Torchlight]

17. I have a good eye, uncle; I can see a church by daylight.

(Much Ado About Nothing)

[IronLionZion]

30. If white, then he doesn't have any political agenda

just another responsible gun owner

[underpants]

65. Yep

[Grins]

67. Police identified him as being WHITE, balding.

But you knew that.

[IronLionZion]

70. Then it's economic anxiety

or mental illness. But no political agenda.

[uponit7771]

81. +1,

[Novara]

11. See, this is the only version of "civil war" these stupid fucks can manage.

A lone nut-job firing willy-nilly at the FBI building.

[wryter2000]

23. Lame, for sure

Even the huge crowd on 1/6 didn't accomplish much, except get a few people killed, including at least two of their own.

[DENVERPOPS]

33. It is the ones you DON'T see

that you should worry about..........

my guess is that for everyone of the wild ass yahoos that there are tens of thousands of Trumphumpers out there lurking in the shadows.

Don't forget: It wasn't "STAND BACK AND STAND DOWN" it was "STAND BACK AND STAND BY"...........

These assholes are merely masquerading as "Republicans" The True Republican politicians in decades past would have gladly helped the Dems escort Trump and countless others to the looney bin or to Leavenworth........

[inthewind21]

12. Ironic

He called it "deplorable"

[SergeStorms]

31. Yeah, there's that word again.

And it fits as well now as it did in 2016.

[lpbk2713]

13. Junior Samples is mad as hell.

And he's not going to take it any more.

[MuseRider]

21. LOL

I have not thought of Junior Samples in forever!

[SergeStorms]

35. And his girlfriend, Lulu Roman.

"Can't you say something nice about Lulu, Junior"?

"You sure don't sweat much for a fat girl".

I apologize if anyone finds that offensive, but it's a classic line from the old TV program "Hee Haw".

[KY_EnviroGuy]

60. Junior visits the doctor (Archie Campbell)...

Junior: Doc, it hurts real bad in these places.

Doc: Well Junior, just quit going in those places.

(from back in the day when I could relate)


KY.......... .......

[Evolve Dammit]

42. Woe, despair and agony on me...

[SergeStorms]

73. Loved those guys.

I'm not much of a country music fan (not what passes for country music these days, anyway) but my Mom loved it so we all had to watch Hee Haw every week. They had some excellent writers on that show though. It was usually very, very funny. Great entertainment. 👍

[Evolve Dammit]

76. truly a fun show and well done! You could relate to it. Buck Owens and Roy Clark. So many

quality variety shows during that time. Miss them. Different world for sure.

[SergeStorms]

78. Now that's country to me.

The old country stars, Buck Owen's, Tammy Wynette, Tom T. Hall, Wille, Waylon and such. When country morphed into pop-rock-country I lost all interest.

What are 'ya 'gonna do? Everything progresses, but that doesn't mean it improves.

[Evolve Dammit]

79. I had a friend that went to see Hank Williams Jr. and was really PO'd that it wasn't anything like

Hank.

[SergeStorms]

80. Two different worlds.

Like Woody Guthrie and Arlo Guthrie. I like Arlo, but he never walked Woody's walk. Of course Arlo never abandoned his family during the depression either. 😉

[Auggie]

14. One more crazy locked up for a while

[Demsrule86]

26. He will likely get life in prison...you spend 7- 8 years for a minor assualt.

[Traildogbob]

69. He just wanted

An in person cell visit and personal prayer with MTG on her knees. She’s a babe and loves guns. Love makes ya do stupid stuff.

[Bluethroughu]

15. Go round up these domestic terrorists.

[screamcheese]

19. We are all Domestic Terrorists

Did you see the electronic banner above the stage at CPAC saying "We are Domestic Terrorists"?
Link to photo: https://t.co/XGHhHf1T1N

[wryter2000]

24. Welcome to DU

I didn't see the banner, but it doesn't surprise me.

[live love laugh]

27. Did they take him to Burger King?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

32. Oh, not this debunked shit again.

The cops did not take him to Burger King, they bought him food from a local Burger King, as dictated by law.

In Shelby, the FBI handled Roof’s initial questioning, [Shelby police Chief Jeff] Ledford said. Shelby police’s lone conversation with the mass-murder suspect was about food. Earlier in the day, Roof had bought water and chips at a south Charlotte gas station. Now he was hungry. Police bought him food from a nearby Burger King, Ledford said.

Notice the word bought, not brought.

A criminal suspect is entitled to humane treatment, no matter how heinous the alleged crime. If you were not treated humanely, for instance if you were deprived of food and water or if you were beaten either during police questioning or while in a holding cell, your rights may have been violated.

Snopes calls bullshit on the claim that cops brought Roof to Burger King.

https://www.snopes.com/news/2015/06/22/dylann-roof-burger-king/

[live love laugh]

58. Same thing.

[LeftInTX]

66. They feed most suspects who they are interrogating

It's part of the interrogation technique.

Feed them something they like and they're more likely to talk

[live love laugh]

71. Same thing.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

75. Umm, no, it's not,

but if that's what you want to think, ok.

[Mr. Ected]

34. Many will die defending a fabricated "truth"

Our country is filled with ignorant "patriots" who are easy marks for the likes of Trump, the GOP, and Vladimir Putin.

[nolabear]

38. The Crusades come to mind.

Going off to “conquer” in the name of religion isn’t a safe venture. I suppose the difference is the level of organization. They weren’t freelancers.

[Mr. Ected]

43. The level of organization will likely be slim to none, I'm sure

We will probably be dealing with a lot of lone gunmen and small militia groups. They could definitely wreak havoc for a little while, like pop-up showers on a summer afternoon, but such uprisings can generally be subdued by LE quickly and many of the perps would be carried off in body bags.

It's incomprehensible how much blood will be on the GOP's hands if they don't stop creating an alternative reality for their constituents.

[nolabear]

45. True. Like this schmuck in Ohio. Seriously? An AR-15 and a nail gun?

I know most threats are hollow. Proud Boys like to march around and threaten and assault people they know won’t harm them, but somewhere some skirmish may just get out of hand and kill somebody.

[KentuckyWoman]

36. Local reporting says he is armed with

An AR 15 and a nail gun.

[Evolve Dammit]

44. Ha! Good one. Nail apron over the body armor

[KentuckyWoman]

50. I am not kidding

Reporting is he showed up at FBI Cincinnati with an AR 15 and a nail gun. Shot off the nail gun then fled.

Last I saw the FBI, OH state patrol and locals have him pinned down near Wilmington.

[Evolve Dammit]

53. OMG. Can't wait until the case is nailed shut... Could they nail him down with his own nail gun?

[LiberalArkie]

72. Nail guns aren't banned in federal buildings are they?

[delisen]

40. Wray's usage of "deplorable" is interesting.

On September 9, 2016 candidate Clinton referred to some Trump followers as a basket of deplorable. Those deplorables got more deplorable and are now threatening the FBI.

[EnergizedLib]

41. Why is it

That every year in this country seems to get worse and worse?

What has he done? What has TFG done to merit such loyalty and devotion?

[lambchopp59]

59. Ugly marriage of evangelical dupes and Trumpism

Fundamentalists who reject all scientific evidence against the world being created in a week are predisposed to belief in any nutjob who claims pseudoreligious bullshit.
"God said it, I belieeeeeeeeeeeve it, that settles it"
Trump a god-appointed leader, so, ipso facto...
Nauseating, isn't it?
But I'm not kidding. I work with one.

[Mysterian]

47. We're dealing with a bunch of deranged kooks

who are willing to become martyrs for an idiotic cause.

Pretty much the same as Islamic terrorists.

[icymist]

48. When these people tell us who they are we should believe them.

49. The Corn Stalks Rebellion

Blood and soil types will strike then hide in the hills and fields. Doubt this will be the last.

[bigtree]

61. terror in the corn

...

[Scalded Nun]

51. These folks were rabid animals before Trump. Now they are just off the leash.

[FSogol]

56. There's that 'deplorable' word again. Trumpy & his unwashed are still trying to foment insurrection

[packman]

63. Guy lost a few kernels -popped off and is paying the price

Normally not a violent person, but that old saying about:


THE ONLY WAY THEY'LL TAKE MY GUN IS FROM MY COLD,DEAD FINGERS

Wonder if this is going thru his mind as he runs around in that corn field - Christ, what idiots these fools be

[KY_EnviroGuy]

64. Looks like it's pretty much over for this guy. Massive FBI and police response has him pinned down.
