"AI Overview

Analyses from government agencies and independent research groups indicate that white supremacists and other right-wing extremists are responsible for the majority of lethal domestic terrorism in the U.S. in recent years.

Dominant threat

Right-wing extremist violence has caused a significant percentage of domestic terrorism deaths since 2001, with some analyses placing the figure as high as 75% to 80%. White supremacists have been responsible for a large portion of fatalities within right-wing extremist attacks.

Both the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have identified white supremacist violence as the "most persistent and lethal terrorist threat to the homeland".

White supremacist violence remains a top counterterrorism concern, and data shows it has been more frequent and deadlier than violence from left-wing extremists.

Specific examples of white supremacist violence
Prominent attacks linked to white supremacists include the Oklahoma City bombing (1995), the Charleston church shooting (2015), the Tree of Life synagogue attack (2018), the El Paso Walmart massacre (2019), and the Buffalo mass shooting (2022)."

In August, Donald Trumpf Jr, the animal-killing Empty Suit oligarch who never worked a day in his life, called for invading Portland and Seattle ("craphole cities"): www.nwprogressive.org

Seattle hosts a FIFA 2026 game, Portland does not.

The dictator is attempting to provoke a civilian overreaction.

Or he'll simply lie that something bad has happened.

Either way, you're right.

The dictator will see blood in the streets one way or the other.

Oh, come on, MAGA.

Let's hear the denials that Trump is Hitler.

Does the occupation of Portland really make that much difference to you?

I guess that it does.

Hey Republicans, this is your President and congratulations on your excellent choice: www.washingtonpost.com

And thanks for flushing America down the toilet.

Trump is insane. He's normalizing blatant violations of Posse Comitatus, and the government is going to shut down Wednesday. (while the Republicans own all three branches)

Had enough MAGA?

MAGA will End in pools of Blood.

This is becoming more obvious by the Day.

Trump will provoke civil disorder in order to "Save" us.

I just wish the Trump Assassination Attempt had Tyler at the 30-06.

The bellicose, inflammatory language Trump used in his post is beyond forgiveness. References to war, authorization of full force and all the rest are obscene and in any normal presidency would be grounds for removal from office. You can't simply declare war on people who live in your own cities.

---- this old, evil buffoon.

The status quo oligarchs, through the Republican Party, have historically used foreign enemies ("the Others") as the distractor while hoarding their ill-gained pelf: "Iranians! Pinkos! Muslims! Commies! Hamas! G--ks! Al Qaida!" Absent a foreign threat, Dummkopf Trumpf and the GOP are demonizing the liberals and the masses as the "enemy." The Venezuela 'drug menace' is a chimera to topple the Maduro regime: habrastorage.org

Meanwhile, the elites continue siphoning off America's wealth while pauperizing the rest of us.

When the bloodshed starts, the Trumpf junta will call in martial law and unfortunately they have a precedent: i.ytimg.com

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices ... to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own ... for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, that these things cannot be confined only to The Twilight Zone."

-Rod Serling, 1960.

Trump is trying to set the conditions for initiating a generalized lockdown to shut down the 2026 elections in "contested" areas.
I assure you, this is MUCH worse than the Sixties.

The bellicose, inflammatory language Trump used in his post is beyond forgiveness.

But all the inflammatory language is coming from the "left!" I've heard it over and over by "republicans" right here on the DR! Just ignore Watters calling for bombing the UN because "escalator-gate" or Kilmeade's "involuntary lethal injection" to rid us of the homeless.

Or there's the Daily Caller's editor at large Geoffrey Ingersoll, calling for extreme violence against anyone and everyone that dares speak out against Der Grosse Orangefarbene Fhrer or MAGA. "I want blood in the streets," "I choose VIOLENCE!" act "Viciously and disproportionately if necessary." I'm only going to link the rather watered down version of reporting that the NY Times did. I've read the original piece on DC (before they added a little bit of a caveat at the top). www.nytimes.com

BTW - there are cameras on the ICE facility and on "war torn Portland" that you can watch to and verify for yourself just how bad it is in Portland. It's not at all, of course. Portland's a beautiful city.

Trump is a lying POS, deliberately trying to provoke a response so he can use it as an excuse to clamp down on all of us. This is the -------- world of MAGA. Fckk him and fckk MAGA.

In the 60's and early 70's the parents and grandparents saw what was going on and joined the kids in massive peaceful protests in cities all over the country.

That's not happening now... the scapegoating of immigrants and minorities anyone not milk toast faux christian white has been a success this time.

"There is no war in Portland. There is no siege.

ANTIFA is not an organization; it's an ideology.

Trump is using a fake enemy to attack a US city ... and using the military against citizens of the United States."

Mr. President: Read the Constitution.

The function of the U.S. military is to protect us from FOREIGN enemies, not Portland, OR.

In this country we have local and state police for law enforcement, not federal troops.

Stop deploying the U.S. army against Americans.

It's funny that the biggest criminal in the country is acting like he wants to stop crime.
If Orange Adolf wants to stop crime he would arrest himself.

Big mistake that he and MAGA are making, underestimating the enemy.. AmericNs own firearms, Even us non-maga.

Oh and, TACO.
