Operation Legend

[TheLastGentleman]

It also shows what this country's....priorities are.

Includes arrests from back in December and arrests unrelated to Operation Legend.

The DOJ is a shitshow.

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.

Elaborate?

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.

He specifically said the arrests happened in the last weeks.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think there is any effort made whatsoever to be truthful in politics any more. So no.

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.

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.

[missingkc]

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.

[taxi]

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.

If someone had described the situation in Portland with the Feds a month ago, you probably would have said the same thing.

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

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.

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

I knew this board was far left leaning but Yikes

You guys are just as bad as the conspiracy theorists on the right.

You called people sheep, are you actually gonna play this time and post some sources, or moan that people don’t see the world in the same way as you?

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.

[TheLastGentleman]

Trust me, this board is not left leaning, let alone far left.
