America has a right wing domestic terrorism problem.

they can organize as much as they want, but the minute they break any law I'd like to see it dealt with swiftly and unflinchingly. That includes any of these ------ that are in the polling places.

I've noted the following myself - and wondered if it was just a coincident or if it was intentional:

"Several (Proud Boy) accounts pointed to the black-and-yellow ties and hats " which are Proud Boys colors " worn by Mr. Trump and the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson during a recent rally at Madison Square Garden in New York"

Why I even thought it wasn't a direct signal of support and might have been a coincident is, in retrospect, beyond me. Of course they did, and of course they didn't miss the use of this site and its past. This is exactly why Trump went to New York, this location, and bussed in so many with the ideal demographic make-up. Like Trump says he has "white, beautiful white skin."

I'll wager that Diamond Joe will not put up with any violent nonsense from these domestic terrorists. Few here remember the US Army in Detroit in 1967 to quell the rioting. The National Guard will be out in force to put a stop to any problems...

Dark Brandon is out of f***s to give and I am sure there is nothing more that he would enjoy is sending a few more domestic terrorists to the hoosegow.

is a very good point. After the Election, Dark Brandon might want to strut his stuff a bit before someone else takes over.

Sounds to me like Trump is getting all prepared to lose.

Tea leaves never lie doncha know.

Hope the government has enough body bags for all of the future dead domestic terrorists.

It would be an international black eye on America if the National Guard had to resort to using live rounds. I can picture the video propaganda all being played out on Russian television.

I would hope that their commanding presence alone, which is considerable, would deter any would-be attacks on the capitol building.

I think Trump's rag-tag army learned from 2020 that full frontal attacks don't work. In my opinion, if they stage any violence, they'll opt for sneaky covert attacks on weaker targets.

@#6 ... Sounds to me like Trump is getting all prepared to lose. ...

While I would not go that far, there is this ...

'Sunday morning sucked': Advisers say 'angry' Trump 'rattled' by bad news
www.rawstory.com

... Donald Trump woke up in a foul mood Sunday morning and his campaign staff watched in horror as he took out his frustrations in an off-message speech in Pennsylvania, according to a report.

The 78-year-old former president was stewing over a poll released Saturday afternoon showing Kamala Harris with a three-point lead in Iowa, before the vice president made a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live."

His pollster Tony Fabrizio and data chief Tim Saler scrambled to craft a memo questioning New York Times' polling that suggested he would lose tight races in swing states, reported The Bulwark.

"This was as much about pushing back on the media as it was placating the boss -- he was infuriated," said a campaign adviser. "But all of us trust Tony's numbers, including the boss. In Tony we trust, [but] Sunday morning sucked."

Trump went onstage in Lititz, Pennsylvania, "rattled by the news," The Bulwark's Marc Caputo wrote.

He largely ignored the teleprompter for 96 minutes in his first of three rallies two days before the election, and while the crowd laughed and cheered as he suggested he wouldn't care if "bloodsucker" journalists were shot, his campaign staffers groaned because he sounded defeated. ...

Presidents of the United States don't have the privilege of waking up every day angry, frustrated or spiteful, to the point they want to punch women out. That's what spoiled snot-nosed children do the day after some little girl on the playground makes him eat dust.

Trump's targets, Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney and Nancy Pelosi, are making him eat dust.

#7. I hope they are willing and prepared to FILL those body bags.
The worst response by the government would be a lax and undecisive response.

If you want to go the non-lethal route, then gas and stun grenades,
after telling them to surrender (of course). But lethality, and the very real
threat of it NEEDS to be ready this time round.
