The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[pritch]

So you'll be rescinding your comments then?

Briefly, no. If you read that again you'll see that the concern was that there would be violence between the various fascist groups and Antifa. The solution was to declare Antifa terrorists.

Apart from being supremely simple minded it's also currently illegal.
Overseas groups such as Daesh and Al Qaeda can be declared terrorist organisations, but the law that permits that does not apply within the US.
Yet.

You really do need to work on your comprehension skills.

And why is that?

Is it because Antifa are usually the ones who instigate the Violent protests and Riots?

Can you point me to a Riot where a bunch of far-right activists burnt down large parts of a city, spray painting swastikas* and fascist slogans?

*Note - that doesn't include ones that have been painted by Far-Left groups as justification for their mayhem.

Overseas groups such as Daesh and Al Qaeda can be declared terrorist organisations, but the law that permits that does not apply within the US.

Antifa have overseas 'chapters' or 'groups' - Therefore it is entirely correct to label them as such.

Should I also point out that the origins of Antifa are from Germany - which, I'm pretty sure is overseas from the US....

You really do need to work on your comprehension skills.

Indeed - care to elaborate then on the difference between being labelled a Domestic Terrorist organization and a Terrorist organization?

I'll save you the trouble and forgo my usual pedantry - the bit that is important is the word that begins with 'T'

Donald Trump the bravest man in America

In his latest speech he wants to bring in the US Army. Not the National Guard, the army. Last time I looked that too was illegal, unless possibly he declared martial law. That may change things. It would certainly change him, he could go full blown mad king.

A threat like that will have the constitutional lawyers excited, there should be informed legal comment available shortly.

As opposed to the aimless flapping of your gums.

I fear (for the American people) that Trump is going to find out the hard way that violence begets violence.

The violance has already started or haven't you notice that over the last 3 years?

Proposing to send in the heavy squad to deal with the riots sparked by a black man being killed, by probably killing a few more. That should sort out the situation...

It seems that Trump had the forces of 'law and order' violently remove peaceful protestors from in front of the White House so that he could go to a nearby church for a photo op. Photo ops are the only reason he goes to church - other than funerals.

Which just happens to coincide with a real estate reality television actor taking on a job he is not even remotely qualified to do. Or have you not noticed that - both the violence and ineptitude as president?

not to mention the wording domestic
the US government has no existing legal authority to label a wholly domestic group in the manner it currently designates foreign terrorist organizations.

Patently Bullshit.

It's been brewing for a very long time, the first real event in the so-called 'Culture War' happened way back 2011.

You really aren't very good at this reading stuff are you. Sugilite was replying to a specific comment made by somebody else. Neither your 'culture war of 2011' nor the current weather are relevant.

Annnnd this is why he is the only one on my ignore list. The largest point in my post is that being a real estate and reality tv guy is not equipped to run a large country at the best of times, yet alone the worst, but if course DL does not want to talk about that, just dance around a much more minor point.
If I were to reply to his lame rambling, I might put forward that the actual first event was when wealthy white fucks thought it would be perfectly OK to "Own" another human being, and force that human being who had been ripped by force from everything they know and love to work to make their "master", wealthy.
I would love to see DL dropped into the middle of a meeting of intelligent black community leaders trying their best to navigate their way out of this mess while keeping their people alive. He would fast find his words of "wisdom" turning to ash in his ignorant as fuck privileged white mans mouth.
