Re: Operation Legend
How? Maybe he needed to add "Since the initial operation began late 2019", but since the FBI has been helping there have been 200 arrests. Not exactly a shit show in this particular situation.grovester wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 7:21 pm https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/c ... 21027.html
Includes arrests from back in December and arrests unrelated to Operation Legend.
The DOJ is a shitshow.

I'm going to guess you think this operation is all about Trump re-election? It may well be but if it also rounds up a bunch of killers, I'm all for it! It's only going to get worse.

The other 199 arrests had little or nothing to do with a "surge" of federal agents.

Does anyone fact check these damn speeches? 200 arrests in two weeks with thousands of feds would be a big number.grovester wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 12:33 pmHe specifically said the arrests happened in the last weeks.DColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 10:43 amHow?

Re: Operation Legend
Starting this up in the middle of a pandemic that this administration had a direct part in exacerbating through negligence, and then lying about it, tells us pretty clearly that there's something going on under the surface here. You should at least be asking some questions.DColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 10:45 amElaborate?TheLastGentleman wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 7:23 pm It also shows what this country's....priorities are.

Re: Operation Legend
It puts federal agents in place ready to show up at the polls in Dem heavy cities, armed and demanding to see ID, whether or not state law requires it to vote. I so hope that on November 4 I feel like a complete fool for having written this.

Trump's philosophy seems to be: By the time they can prove it's a lie, I will have told 100 more lies and nobody will remember or care about something 100 lies ago. It seems to work for him.

Re: Operation Legend
Thank you, I was starting to feel like an insane person for thinking this was a possible motive. I share your hope and would rather be a fever-dreaming idiot than right, but everything I've seen seems to suggest the incumbent will reject a loss and blame fraud and use every legal recourse at his disposal to stay in power. I wouldn't say I'm afraid, but my level of concern is non-zero.

Re: Operation Legend
I'm afraid, Mean. I expect election day, voting place provocations to violence by forces put in place by Trump. I will not be surprised if he places a call to paramilitaries to police voting places. Call me crazy.

You're crazy.
Get out of your extreme left wing bubble. It's unhealthy. And I say the same thing to people in their extreme right wing bubble.

Re: Operation Legend
No, not crazy. The far right has been talking about taking up arms for a while now. Trump will claim the election was rigged and they will show up en mass to DC protect him. He will not accept defeat nor relinquish his position (if he does indeed lose). Shit will hit the fan. There will be a civil war. The writing is on the wall and if you can't see it, you are in a left wing bubble.

I'm not saying missingkc isn't crazy - just that you're delusional.

Re: Operation Legend
While Trump is sending federal agents to US cities with democratic mayors to fight "ANTIFA", his intelligence agencies are actively warning him of far-right plots for domestic terrorism.

Re: Operation Legend
This think tank (CSIS), largely funded by the defense industry, has a study on domestic terrorism threats to the US. Guess what they found?

Re: Operation Legend
Yeah - because Pizzagate is the exact same thing as us wondering if Trump is going to FURTHER overstep his bounds with regards to using federal forces on his own citizens. You've really read the temperature of the room accurately and taught us all a serious lesson.beermestrength wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:11 pm I knew this board was far left leaning but Yikes
