What did I tell you? Next step was to begin controlling the movement of people into and out and around DC. Taking over the largest mass transit hub in the city is the first step to doing so.

Proof it has nothing to do with crime? This is the best they could come up with for justification:

Vance, a former senator, had complained about an incident where someone yelled at his son while walking through Union Station a couple of years ago. But with the arrival of National Guard troops, he said the station was safe for parents to bring their children.

Just don't act surprised! We've all known what he is since the Charlottesville march because "there are good people on both sides." He believes there are good Nais! Because, he too, is a Nazi!

Union Station, you say.

Won't be long until the cops pepper spray and Taser and arrest the deaf Gallaudet students, for not obeying verbal commands.

Someone needs to tell Trump that the federal government already owns Union Station and has always been responsible for at least a portion of it's day-to-day operation and maintenance to say nothing of its long term responsibility.

yeah, NO
Screaming at people (especially at CHILDREN) is NOT 'free speech' in fact if it's violent speech it's assault.
Leftists... Gah you all would bolshevik this place tomorrow if you thought you could. Our elected leaders are your Tsar Nicholas, so even the children, right? Unrecoverable lil' maggas, right? They deserve whatever happens to them in my leftist crime-infested public spaces, right?

There's one big difference between Russian peasants and Americans, between Cambodian peasants and Americans, between Chinese peasants and Americans.
You Communists will not be able to do here what you did in those other places.

Agreed.

But nobody said it was violent speech except you. Somebody yelled at Junior; NOT A CRIME.

Did someone suggest the end of private property, and I missed it?!?

Trump forcefully took a stake in Intel so that they could sell chips overseas. Literally taking over the means of production and you call us communists? Your are definitely a good soviet-style communist.

Anyways..

OK Pedo, where are the Epstein Files?
