Breaking: Trump Says U.S. Will Designate ANTIFA a Terrorist Organization [UPDATES]
Trump: “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization”
As revelations of coordinated antifa involvement in the incitement of violent riots in cities across the country became increasingly clear, calls went out for President Trump to address the problem.
Part of that response included officially designating antifa a terrorist organization, and Trump indicated Sunday that this will indeed occur.

Democratic and Republican officials on Sunday took aim at groups like Antifa and Boogaloo as well as demonstrators from “out of the area” as responsible for violent episodes at protests in major cities across the country.
President Donald Trump tweeted that he was designating Antifa as a terrorist organization.
. . . . Antifa, meaning “anti-fascist,” is a coalition of protesters, left-wing activists and self-described anarchists who seek to physically confront and bring down what they deem as the far right. Trump and his administration have long targeted the group, which has made its presence felt at protests throughout his presidency.

Response are already pouring in on Twitter.
ANTIFA has just been classified as a domestic terrorist organization.
Everyone who partakes in the violence and rioting should be charged as terrorists.
Thank you, President Trump!

Now that Antifa is a terrorist organization we can use military and military weapons to fight them. That is leadership. Thank you President @RealDonaldTrump.

Add @JoeBiden to the list! All should be investigated for funding a domestic terrorist organization also @FBI https://t.co/aT00vnLjsc

The left is, of course, livid. And maybe a little worried.
What Trump means by "designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization" is: "I want to be able to decide who is a terrorist." https://t.co/YCaYeJucJm

the worst part is antifa isn’t even a real thing so they’ll just use it as a label to stifle dissent

Journalists are being assaulted by police; Trump rails against “lamestream media.” White nationalism is surging; Trump declares *anti-fascism* a terrorist “organization.” Cops are killing Black people; Trump calls protesters “radical left anarchists”. Authoritarianism is here.

It’s obvious how America’s enemies gamed the alternatives. If terrorists attack the White House and President Trump doesn’t order them shot, then he’ll be “too weak and cowardly.” If he does order them shot, then he’ll be “a merciless dictator who shoots innocent widows and orphans (etc., etc.).”
Give our enemies credit: They’re evil, and they’re traitors, but they’re formidable. Of course, it helps that they control almost all of the media and at least half of the government.
What time is it folks?
It’s taking them down time.
Add these people to the Antifa Terrorist List.
Colin Kaepernick Starts Protester Legal Defense Fund, Other Celebrities Fund Bail For Those Arrested
Kaepernick’s fund will aid those who cant afford to hire legal representation, presumably offering an alternative to the Public Defender’s office. All fees will be paid for by the Know Your Rights Camp, which Kaepernick created.
Other celebrities took note. Since Thursday, Seth Rogen, Ben Schwartz, Steve Carell , Chrissy Teigen and Harry Styles have all tweeted that they matched donations to help protesters make bail.
Others who have donated bail funds or indicated support include actor and singer Janelle Monáe, television presenter and activist Jameela Jamil, actor Patton Oswalt, and actor and former New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon.

So can the Trump administration now use FISA on Antifa? That might really change the debate on the FISA renewal, eh?
One way to get a bad law repealed is to apply it vigorously. Good and hard.
About F-ing time.
It’s too little, too late.
Unless they arrest the leaders and funders high up (like soros and bezos) the browshirts will be easily replaced. (The job pays well.)
See, it’d be interesting to follow Bezos’ 10 BILLION dollar funding of ‘climate changers’, the likes of who are rioting across America.
‘Climate changing’ white young men and women have been caught on video across America directing black rioters.
Look, Barr is semi-retired, and really not interested in expanding his world-view beyond 1990. He announced obama and biden are off the hook. He’s ignored hillary clinton’s high crimes and treason. He let Epstein be murdered and is allowing the cover-up. He’s allowed the most rampant election campaign fraud to happen by omar, tlaib and cortez.
Until we have an AG whose head is working full time and does not have his head partially up his ass, we are headed full-steam straight to hell.

Oh save us, save us FROM BIDEN.
The Federal prosecution on terrorism charges of the effete thugs is vital
Like coup plotters.
Abandon all hope until AG Barr-Boehner is replaced.
FineReport: What is YOUR problem with AG Barr???
How much time do you have? Here’s the condensed version: He’s Session’s fat brother, protecting the coupsters by “investigating” ad nauseam while emails are deleted, text messages erased, he’s ignored anti Trumper Paul Krugman who announced to the world that he had kiddie porn on his server and not an iota of interest from Barr, but let someone employed by Trump do the same and it’s rightfully off to prison. Barr has ignored criminal referrals for Comey and McCabe for lying, now stop and get your fingers ready to count the prosecutions he’s allowed for Trump associates for lying. There is enough public info to have Kevin Clinesmith at the very least arrested, if not convicted and Barr makes speeches and does nothing. Barr is wasting time until Trump leaves office to protect his former colleagues, who if the truth be known, have enough dirt on Barr to get him locked up. DOJ did not get corrupt in the last 8 years
MarkS, you wrote: “How much time do you have?

Please provide us a list of Trump employees marched off to prison under Barr, and we will look into it and report on it immediately.
“Barr has ignored criminal referrals for Comey and McCabe for lying, now stop and get your fingers ready to count the prosecutions he’s allowed for Trump associates for lying.”
Who has been prosecuted for lying under Barr? Name one person.
“There is enough public info to have Kevin Clinesmith at the very least arrested, if not convicted and Barr makes speeches and does nothing. Barr is wasting time until Trump leaves office to protect his former colleagues, who if the truth be known, have enough dirt on Barr to get him locked up. DOJ did not get corrupt in the last 8 years”
Barr may not be doing what you want when you want it, but he was hand-picked by President Trump and serves at the president’s pleasure. If Trump deems him a liability or problem, it is ON TRUMP to remove him immediately.
No, the DOJ did not get corrupt in the last eight years, and it is not going to get drained in a couple. Temper your expectations and let the president do his job. Undermining Trump’s hand-picked heads undermines him. Period.
Shucks, Fuzzy, there’s no “reply” button by your comment, so…I’ll use mine.
I’m not in the habit of educating those in the legal profession but here’s one example : Roger Stone. His trial was during Barr’s tenure, and the case against him was IMO as weak as Flynn’s case Also, Barr did lament that SDNY’s investigation of Rudy was a mis-application of the law, but would allow it to continue
George Nader pleaded guilty to child porn charges
It’s not that Barr isn’t doing what I want, he’s operating a two tiered justice system and heaven help you if you need an example of that!
I don’t know if the purpose of your reply was to bait me, or if it was you are too lazy to do a little quick googling?
I gotta run, but if you need any more verification, I’m sure some of the lawyers here can enlighten you
Heh, no, not baiting you, just tired of the pile on without facts. Read up on the Stone case: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/16/judge-rejects-roger-stones-new-trial-motion-191876 And we covered it here at LI, too, of course. Then let us know what more Barr could do to change anything. Trump will pardon Stone, who was already caught up in the coup that began before Barr (or Trump, for that matter) took office. The wheels of justice were already turning on Stone (via Trump), and they did what they could, including (quite rightly in my opinion) calling the Stone jury foreperson’s credibility and ethics into question.
There is no magic wand, but I guess some people really really want there to be one. It’s fun to shoot fire at one person or group and blame them for everything, but it’s not really very productive . . . or realistic. In fact, that’s what our friends on the fringe left do all the time, isolate a target, demonize, and destroy. Then it’s on to the next target. Sound useless, mindless, and familiar? /Just saying.
Barr is Boehner.
That’s my problem with Barr.
Barr is the head law enforcement agent of American.
NAME ONE PROSECUTION OF A CORRUPT DEMOCRAT! It’s not like there aren’t enough to pick from.
Mr. Barr – the, er, gentlemen that he is – will ‘gentlemen’ us into annihilation.
Donald Trump showed the way. It’s the only way.
Hillary clinton is off the DOJ radar. Obama is off the hook. That skank Christopher Wray is still head of Barr’s FBI! Epstein was whacked under his nose, and no one is held responsible!
What the hell doesn’t anybody get??
Barr sucks! – He’s boehner, only fatter!
AG Barr also mentioned indirectly application of 18 USC §2101 (rioting). If you cross a state line to attend a riot, or organize one using communications that can cross state lines (such as telephones), you may be tried for violating §2101.
Again, “Barr mentioned”. Mentioning is not an activity, arresting is
Barr is going to ‘mention’ our nation into hell.
I hear the road to Hell is paved with good mentions.
Since this was organized, would going after them with RICO then be possible – to get at the money behind them? Note that it has been reported that Biden campaign staffers are contributing to a bail fund for those arrested.
Sue all the democrat billionaires funding these psychos! Ruin them!
“Catch and Release” as usual is no longer acceptable. Any Prosecutor or Judge who fails in their duty must be held accountable.
By who? Democrat voters??
Until we dump Barr, abandon hope of the leaders of all this being held responsible. To the contrary, the leaders of all this are going to be rewarded. Just ask swamp bums like Fauci.
At best, continue to enjoy really bad, lazy employees.
And until we take back our schools from the leftist/islamic scum indoctrinating our young, at best, continue to enjoy really bad, uneducated, lazy employees.
But more realistically, get used to riots, magic flu epidemics, and martial law. (De Voss is trying, but she’s the warrior we need in her position.)
Xi must be partying. His plan to corrupt our schools, our news, our politicans, hollywood and our manfuacturing base worked brilliantly. The topping to the cake was the WooHoo Flu, which magically did not spread beyond WooHoo City but did spread to every other city in the world.
And the ChiComm corrupted democrat leaders are partying.
And yeah, the ChiComm corrupted GOPe leaders are partying. Or else.
Why are posters here allowed to monopolize the comments sections with the same content reworded and posted again and again 10 or more times???? Is there no limit to posting to a single article?? Really diminishes the value of posts.
Understood. However, he’s not really being abusive or otherwise deletable (just a teensy bit annoying), so his posts stand. I’ve gotten to where I just ignore them (with that kind of glazed-over look one gets upon hearing that teensily annoying relative launch into the same diatribe for the millionth time), so that may be an option?
There has also been an increase in “[sex-act] [name goes here]” remarks with no further point being made. The place looks less like LI and more like GWP as time goes on.
Yeah, I’ve seen that, too. I took it as venting, but if you (a general “you”) want those comments gone, just let us know. We want our comment section to be civil, so we get rid of death threats, overt racist/anti-Semitic comments, ad hominem attacks, etc., but we try to balance that with letting people vent. Also, some comments just slip through the cracks, we don’t have a dedicated comment patrol, after all. 🙂
I’m one of the people guilty of lowering the standards of legal insurrection’s polite society.
As Fuzzy noted, I too ignore comments – typically those of the tediously banal and politically unimaginative sort.
I bought extra tickets.
Different day, same dreary (and dishonest) rant.
Should he/she have to pay a Fine? :-{)}}}
Whoa, nice emoticon!
Yeah. That’s the Stacy Abrams emoticon. See the triple chins?
Long overdue, and despite calling themselves ANTI-Fascist, they are far more like fascists in their methodology and goals than they pretend to be. The majority of them are the Brown Shirts, the expendable ones, to push the left’s desire to overthrow our government.
These riots are well organized on the ground level. They are the “community organizers” whose goals are to sow discord and violence. They have been a terrorist organization from the start, but they have upped their game with the violence.
BLM isn’t innocent in these either, but the propagandists would have you believe they are peace loving folks instead of those who are blowing up places of business and looting them.
I just hope they follow the money trail. Those who fund this are now to come into trouble Federally, and that could mean confiscation of their wealth. Soros won’t like that.
I wonder what will be done with Ilhan’s daughter and Minneapolis’s Mayors daughter who have been providing assistance and aid to these terrorists?
“I wonder what will be done with Ilhan’s daughter and Minneapolis’s Mayors daughter who have been providing assistance and aid to these terrorists?…”
She’ll be elected to public office.
That’s not sarcasm.
Until we take back our schools from the leftist garbage brainwashing our young, get used to Omar II.
“AG Barr labels ANTIFA activities domestic terrorism: “The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.””
Does this mean that capital punishment under Federal statutes will be on the table? Will Soros be implicated and prosecuted?
Will it turn out that whomever has been paying to drive massive numbers of illegals will be identified and prosecuted?
Barr will “mention” them to death.
Calling things what they are is the first step toward sanity.
Waiting so long is insanity.
Democrats have used Too Many sanity wipes.
The problem isn’t the democrats. It’s the GOP.
They lost our country for us – and for a pay day.
Aaaaaaaaaand just like that, the MSM/DNC axis has decreed that Antifa is no longer a white supremacist organization:
https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/376948/
And aaaaaaahhhhh, just like that: the WooHoo Flu is over! It’s safe to congregate!!
What b.s. we have allowed ourselves to be prisoners of.
Please add these people to the Terrorist List.
Daughters of Minnesota Governor Walz and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar tweeting support and helpful advice to rioters
By Thomas Lifson
The acorn, as the saying goes, does not fall far from the tree. Daughters of two of riot-torn Minnesota’s highest profile office holders have been on Twitter offering encouragement and support to the forces rampaging there.
Yaacov Apelbaum did screen grabs of tweets from Hope Walz, daughter of Democrat Governor Tim Walz, whose fecklessness allowed rioters to dominate law enforcement forces for days before finally calling up what appears to be adequate National Guard support. Hope Walz has subsequently “protected” her Twitter feed, so you and I cannot see it. But here are the tweets grabbed by Yaacov, showing her telling rioters on May 28 not to worry about the National Guard showing up because “it takes time” for them to “come from all over the state” so, “the national guard [sic] will not be present tonight.
Neither politician has repudiated these public declarations from their flesh and blood.

Follow us: @AmericanThinker on Twitter | AmericanThinker on Facebook
Young Walz and young Omar will pursue successful political careers and further perpetuate the destruction of our beautiful miraculous country.
No wonder Elon Musk wants to go to Mars. He sees the writing on the wall.
But then, there is one immovable force of nature: President Donald Trump. And there is the Second Amendment – and a large cache of arms amongst the American people.
We’re going to have to fight for our survival, folks. Or else just surrender and get it over with. It won’t be pretty either way. But if we fight, we’ll likely win.
If we surrender, we’ll likely wind up dead at a very young age in ‘nursing home’ from some Chinese’flu’, when we wer oddly put there by a government ‘flu monitor’ who looked at your voting affilation and decided to knock at your door.
Get with it.
Call it like it is. The Democrat Party is behind Antifa. That makes the Dem Party a terrorist organization too.
Duh.
Look, sorry for the sarcasm. I’m just fed up with the BLINDLESS of people on our side. How long did it take them to see value in PDJT? Some of them still think boehner did a good job!
The willfully blind among us are like anchors around our necks while they fret and refuse to see the writing on the wall. We have to bulldoze past them, and push them to see reality.
I see they’re still trying to live on the Charlottesville lie(s).
I would love the professor’s input on what it will take to get Goerge Soros indicted and convicted on sedition (at minimum).
FineReport: What is YOUR problem with AG Barr???
There is an epidemic of crime and treason by the democrat party and its affiliates. EPIDEMIC.
Name one presecution of a democrat politican by Barr. Just one.
For some strange reason, Barr thinks he has the luxury of time. That rat Sessions killed that.
We have FIVE months to the election. Anything Barr announces will be a rallying call to the left: that is, they”ll claim to the base of hollywood idiots that Barr’s prosecutions are political. Had Barr hammered Epstein’s killers, immigration fraudster and campaign finance fraudster omar, campaign finance fraudster tlaib, campaign finance fraudster cortez etc. as they committed their crimes, the entire mood of the nation would be different.
Five months. The guy’s nuts.
Long overdue.
Buffalo Mayor to Rioter Who Destroyed City Hall: ‘We Have You on Camera, You Idiot’
https://www.weaselzippers.us/449711-buffalo-mayor-to-rioter-who-destroyed-city-hall-we-have-you-on-camera-you-idiot/
Rioter to Buffalo mayor: biden and jeff bezos got my back!
Good step to designate as a domestic terrorist organization.
What this DOES NOT do – authorize, in general, military response. So there won’t be aircraft dropping ordinance.
What it does do is allow for easier application of federal law against the organization members and it’s financial supporters. So surveillance, identification, monitoring financial transactions, etc. All the domestic intelligence apparatus feeding data to FBI, ATF, DEA etc. That Intel supplements the Intel from large metro police departments.
In combination this will choke off financial support and lead to arrests of the coordinators. This will take some time. Though I imagine that some folks are already in the legal crosshairs based upon previous and current Intel.
What is does allow most of all, is the ability to prosecute the funders of Antifa. The money people. It also exposes them to civil liaiblity.
If a dollar of the BILLIONS the likes of jeff bezos is giving to crazy leftist groups finds its way into antifa, the likes of jeff bezos could prosectued for funding terror. And he’d be penniless after thousands of Americans sued him.
Don’t worry.
Once Chauvin is convicted, the rioters will return to clean up the mess, rebuild the facilities and return the loot.
And replace the glass. And repaint the surfaces defaced. And reimburse business owners who lost money. And heal the wounds of people viciously attacked.
Okay. It’s time to start rolling up the top of Antifa and the funders of Antifa.
I certainly agree. However, I tend to share TheFineReport person’s perspective on Barr. He has been there over 15 months and there has been no indictment of anyone of consequence. So far, “all hat, no cattle”.
Investigations, extracting the necessary evidence, trying to make an airtight case, takes far longer than a year or two. I have been involved in putting cases together related to a specific industry and fraud. It often took more than five years to make a decent case. That is frustrating, but that is what it takes. In my case, this was done in a nonprofit, and we passed case information on to the approppiate authorities.
Omar, tlaid and cortez all committed campaign finance fraud and were caught red-handed.
What is taking 15 months?
Does this mean they can be shot on sight?
Witnessed attempted arson of an inhabited building is grounds for use of deadly force in many states…. a capital crime. Make that a governmental building under these circumstances and this should be a no brainer. Failure to even attempt to protect public property should be grounds for charges against officials..as they are custodians of the peoples’ property.
That’s been settled a long time ago: police have no liabilty if they don’t protect you.
It’s insane.
The first thing that this designation does is allow the NSA to do sigint on these people. That means pulling all the metadata on cell phone and emails. These morons never thought that they would come under this scrutiny. Don’t think for a second that this hasn’t already been happening.
The tell will be how fast the counter terror teams start rolling up the leaders and go after the funding. The power of the IC will now be used for good!!
Don’t be surprised when we see foreign influence begin to surface. I’m talking about dark money from Soros, et. al..
Given that Antifa is not a terrorist organization, the US should be sending drones to kill the people funding it.
There should a rocket with soros’ name on it.
Typo. Should read: given that Antifa is NOW a terrorist organization…
With Trump, it;s always the same: “Are”, “Going to”, “Will”…never “have”
We just got a NEXTDOOR warning that the Oakland CA thugs are taking their looting to the burbs….our town is scheduled for Tuesday. I wonder if the Governor will see fit to protect the hard working shop and dining establishment owners?
Are you armed? Are your neighbors ? Anything being coordinated for defense?
Amen brother. Years ago I heard multiple gunshots in different locations around my neighborhood in SoCal. I loaded my M1 Garand and parked it conveniently out of sight by me as I looked out from the carport. Fortunately whoever was drive-by shooting didn’t try on our street otherwise it would have ended right there .. right then. Multiple “defensive” courses including “urban rifle” can be helpful.
When I watched Reginald Denny dragged from his truck (during the Rodney King Loot, Scoot and Shoot 1) and beaten with the word out the “natives” were going next to the burbs.. I faced a dilemma… which rifle, which shotgun, which handgun???. choices… choices.
We did call the police before I pulled the M1 from the safe and they acknowledged an active shooter report. The police are there for the general safety.
By the way, if the reports are true and the cop and Floyd knew each other … is this a grudge issue or did the cop know of other criminal issues?
The report a friend mentioned to me said they knew each other from working at the same night club. However a story I saw online (cannot now find the link) said that the officer had worked there a long time but quit months before his future victim started working there. Which at least means they didn’t work together as some sources seem to be saying.
Bob, “urban rifle” is a specific course taught at Thunder Ranch. Did you attend there? I did in Sept. 2018. Clint Smith manages to be a funny bastard and deadly serious at the same time. Loved it!
No, mine was a local course in SoCal in the early ’90s before the bans made impractical. My AR was acting up and the SWAT guys from a nearby city taking the course loaned me one of their M4s (the real one with a tab lock out to prevent full auto) plus plenty of shells to use. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!
I admire Clint Smith and need to take some refresher courses. He famously stated that full auto was an easy way to turn money into noise. I need a long-range rifle course. I did take Lethal Force Institute (LFI-1) with Massad Ayoob.
LFI-1 that year was a Glockaholics meeting. Ba Ba Black Glock, do you have any shells. Yes sir, yes sir three mags full.
My home has a natural defense….a very steep hill. The thugs will stick to the flat land…it is too much effort to climb the hill. I am expecting a message from the police chief.
You hold the high ground. Good. Now mark out your fields of fire and you are good to go.
I am armed, mostly for dealing with 4 legged varmints, and with 2 legged varmints in mind. George Floyd was most certainly such. We already have a strong indication that George Floyd is yet another example of lawful justice.
This isn’t “Judge Dredd.” I’m pretty sure we don’t want police acting as executioners. Police have are paid to protect everyone in their communities, and that includes suspects. Sometimes they have to kill someone to protect the community at large, but this was not one of those instances.
George Floyd was a felon, he was being arrested, he chose to resist arrest. He was subdued for resisting. He had heart problems which police would not be aware of. If he had not resisted, he would not have died.
His death was solely his own fault. I am really tired of all the black horse crap.
We have seen again and again, an endless stream of lies and false claims about blacks being unfairly persecuted. We have also seen blacks persecuting others. It is really hard to justify their affirmative benefits when they have become the worst bald faced racists of our times.
I wish that more blacks would study and work hard. I know many who have. Unfortunately, a very large percentage chose to live useless lives. It is a shame.
Anyone, regardless of race, who puts others at risk by rioting, looting, burning, assaulting in mass, should receive a bullet, free of charge. While they are rioting, immediate termination is justice.
Took my morning 6am walk with a sidearm. Best to be prepared, even when it seems calm and quiet.
Used to live just down the road in Dublin. 350 miles North of there now but still connected. If armed and current – stay alert and ready. If not, please make sure you can get to safety if necessary. Prayers for you and yours.
Many thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts. It appears that our little town has been spared. All the shops are boarded up and there is a very strong police presence….if you are not a resident you are not allowed off the freeway. Also, I am sure the SF Bay Area thugs are tired from looting multiple shopping centers, clearing out a gun store and taking 70 (SEVENTY) new cars off a car dealers lot.
Gavin Newsom protect you?? He’s in on the scam!
Here in the south burbs of Chicago multiple Wal Marts and other big box stores are closed w police cars blocking the lots.
I see the celebs are setting up funds to pay bonds. Now we need the judges to set bonds at as high as possible-drain their funds.
JimWoo,
Maybe bond maybe not. I would hope that the various US Attorneys have been instructed to at least investigate the folks arrested. How many from local area v out of state, any federal warrants for say AWOL military or immigration violations, bench warrant from other jurisdiction?
At a minimum look over previous arrests particularly the pros who may have been arrested previously for ‘protests’. Some jurisdiction release with agreement not to illegally protest in future.
Maybe ask the treasury department to take a look at their tax filing status? You didn’t file taxes for 2018? Mr IRS agent will talk to you.
Defaulted on student loans, go see MR education dept.
You didn’t register for selective service? I’m sure you won’t mind hanging around until the recruiting folks get here.
Lots of rules, lots of laws, lots of ways to trip up.
Federal day is a big shock to criminal defendant when used.
Yeah no bond until they are thoroughly investigated. I wonder if maybe some young undercover street cops could infiltrate their command structure. Find out who’s paying and supplying weapons and go after them with a vengeance. Hang around behind the battle lines and watch while pretending to be a rioter.
There are still undercovers in outlaw bike clubs, so sure, they are in antifa. That, you can bet on. Let’s let this play out; there are still good cops out there, lots of them. Their top bosses may be corrupt human scum, but there are amazing cops putting their lives on the line every single day for us all. Don’t lose sight of that fact.
Yes Fuzzy. There are also good Police Departments, with good leadership and a good culture.
With other officers watching in silence and/or participating, plus the killing of Justine Damond in 2017, raise serious doubts the Minneapolis Police Department is one of them.
For those that don’t remember Justine Damond: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Justine_Damond
If they’re bonding out terrorists, there can be an argument that they are funding terror.
It’s be great to see hollywood smugnoramuses pay the price.
Yawn. Wake me when someone goes to prison.
I remember back to 2016 when Antifa burned a limo to celebrate Trump’s election. I also remember Charlottesville. I don’t recall any tough consequences for Antifa. I’ll take a wait and see approach on this one. Maybe Barr will write a sternly worded memo. Sarc intended.
Barr has moved past the ‘memo’ phase.
The tiger is on a ‘mention’ tear: he’s mentioning bad people to death.
This is usually a pretty strong website. Lots of fang-dripping wingnuts in comment section, but the posts are generally of quite high quality. So I’d like to see a followup that discusses the legal foundation and implications of that designation.
High quality wingnuts at that. There are needed times of introspection. But there is also a season for white hot fury, white hot words and actions that extend beyond just words. The rule of law in the final analysis is built on a foundation of force… otherwise no strength. If that force is not used when needed then that vacuum will be filled. The USA has been recently attacked from abroad and now from within. The pallets of bricks being delivered to cities shows that the organization that has promulgated this uprising must be put down hard and not just with soft words.
Trump should tell Barr, Wray and all relevant Intel agency heads, “You have two weeks to tell me who delivered those bricks, who ordered them, who provided the funding and what you plan to do about it, or I will get someone who will.” If nothing happens, then it is hard to make a case that Trump deserves re-election (independent of the merits of the alternative).
No, it makes a hard case that he desperately DOES deserve relection, so he can sh*t-can Barr and put a real prosecutor in his place.
How could you come up with ANY scenario where PDJT is not worth re-electing instead of biden?????
He could go a step further and declare them “hostes humani generis”, and authorize them to be executed wherever found by any citizen. That’s what they did with pirates. Works for me.
About time.
Now, these TERRORISTS were caught on camera PAYING people CASH to riot:
https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/antifa-caught-on-video-handing-out-cash-to-violent-operatives-in-columbus/
This means that anyone seen being paid is a terrorist themselves. In addition, whoever paid the antifa goon is an conspirator and guilty of terrorism themselves.
Bezos? Soros? Gates? The DNC?
Ok, today is May 31, 2020. Anyone taking bets on AG Barr-Boehner doing nothing?
One would think that the FBI would be able to find out who ordered the deliveries of pallets of bricks.
I’m having a little trouble with the pallets of bricks reports. Hearing that around Chicago too. Bricks are heavy. As a former forklift operator-I can attest that a typical pallet of bricks weighs about a thousand pounds. Even a small skid of typical housing bricks weighs a lot. I am willing to be convinced but without photo or video of somebody actually offloading bricks I am skeptical. It may be a matter of semantics who knows…but bricks are not free or easy to throw.
I’ve seen a couple of videos on Twitter of th piles of bricks – 1 in Dallas and 1 in Richmond. There wasn’t a lot of context in the videos, but from what I could see they looked pretty suspicious.
I’m convinced. Saw pallets of bricks.
It was probably Christopher Wray.
Has anyone given any thought to how Antifa will respond to being labeled a Terrorist Organization? Do you think they’ll just sheepishly talk amongst them selves and, in a very Monty Pythonesque way say “alright then” and just walk away? Or will they seek to prove a point or two and now go away quietly? Does this concern anyone?
They are trying to destroy my country. At this point I could really care less how they are going to react so long as they are stopped cold. People are *angry* at this, following hot on the heels of all the prior injustices heaped upon us by the “credentialed”. If the police do not act the people will and it will be ugly beyond all imagining.
I hope it does not come to that, but the people who formented this need to be found and sent to jail for the remainder of their lives, because of they are allowed to continue blood beyond imagining will be let before it is over.
We wouldn’t want to offend terrorists trying to destroy our country, would we?
Signed,
GOPe.
Terrorists belong in GITMO, at minimum.
Leftists have been claiming that the video of the man armed with an AR-15 in Seattle is proof that white nationalists are involved in the protests. (Because everyone knows nobody on the Left owns ARs, right?).
Turns out there were two rioters with ARs, and both were stolen from police vehicles that had been destroyed in the violence. (And, seriously this time, everyone knows that Boogaloo bois already have their own ARs – no need to steal from the police! LOL)

What sane American pays any attention to their b.s., anyway. Who pays attention to the ny times, except fools and corrupt democrats, and GOP hacks.
Now if we can only get the MSM to admit that Antifa even exists!
That ellison punkAszBitch needs to be shot as a common terrorist. Somebody needs to do something. One behind the ear should take care of the problem. Hard to believe the people of minn. would elect such a POS as AG.
Very hard to believe especially when he was involved in a domestic abuse incident.
can you imagine all the facebook/twitter/nonsense social media accounts throughout academia that are all experiencing a good scrubbing/flushing this morning–aiding and abetting a designated terrorist organization is a rather serious offense as it’s federal–wonder how many of these soyboy/soygirl academics will retain their precious tenure let alone their individual freedom once their nefarious activities/identies/institutions of employment are exposed
also might want to rethink their(antifa’s)favored costumes–the mask will no longer make a difference to those defending their businesses/homes
excellent move by PDJT
