All you really need is a helmet, gas mask, tear gas, pepper spray, a big stick and Tiny’s blessing. What more can a fella wish for, except for a few heads to bash?
Unless the GOP raise a big stink about the dRumpth’s GESTAPO actions, we will be seeing and hearing of more secret GESTAPO being sent to more cities to “disappear” more Americans off the streets. Portland is just a trial to see if the GOP would accept a secret police action. Since there has been no public outcry from repuglicants in congress or Repuglicants governors, it looks like “dear leader” will continue with his destruction of our democracy, Putin must be soooooo pleased with his BPF (BEST PUPPET FOREVER).
It’s like someone in the Administration finished watching HBO’s The Watchmen series and got this idea of using anonymous law enforcement to crack down on civilian populace. No seriously.
With each passing week of this president’s administration, the uncanny similarities to Sinclair Lewis’ novel It Can’t Happen Here grow ever more numerous. And just like in it, the courts and congress sit on their thumbs until the courts and congress no longer exist.
The protesters that Trump’s national secret police are attacking must be tied, however tenuously, to the Black Lives Matter movement; otherwise they are no good as a propaganda tool for Trump.
Incidentally, evidently Trump’s “Storm Troopers” will be appearing in Chicago next.
Supposedly their purpose is to “protect” federal buildings from the evil vandals of the B.L.M., but at least in Portland, Oregon, they’ve been roaming the streets of the town and arresting protestors blocks from federal buildings.
So their MAIN PURPOSE is to provide “talking points” for Trump’s reelection campaign.
The Boogaloo bois shot two policemen in Calif, White Nationalists are the new terrorist organization according to the FBI, do you see the Federal Pigs going after those violent right wing groups?
Oregon is attempting to get rid of them using legal means. I expect they’ll stay around until the Mango Mistake’s successor calls them off. Or they’re “needed” elsewhere to block voting booths. (Oregon ballots go out by mail and may be returned to any number of lock-boxes… or by mail).
If you can get it online, Lawrence ODonnell (The Last Word, MSNBC) had General Russell L. Honore on tonite. General Honore had several choice words concerning the “Federal Officers” and their enablers in D.C.
I find it sad and revelatory that so many of these stormtroopers are surplus ICE agents. On their application forms there must have a question “are you a sadist? If not, why not?”

Will there be show trials, or will the protesters just disappear?

I heard if the protesters asked for a lawyer, they let them go – must be fake news though.

The Secret Police have more rights than you do – they’re above the law and make it up as it suits them…

“Mysterious Federal Troops Have No Insignia, No Name Tags, No Badges”
Then how do we know that they’re actually federal troops. Did they say so? Did Trump say so?

It works for Putin…“volunteers” without insignia invading Crimea and eastern Ukraine. Trump must have learned something.
