Not even trying to pretend to be a democracy anymore. This is a guy who wants to wield more political violence.

Don't worry, our pro-Trump crowd will be by shortly to bring us back to earth, nothing to worry about, all overblown. Perfectly "normal" presidential stuff, this post wasn't actually Trump but was in fact the Left-wing media blowing things out of proportion again.

There's nothing to worry about Mills Bomb. It's perfectly normal presidential stuff to call in the military after Portlands mayor ordered police NOT to arrest protestors, including illegal aliens, for breaking the law because arresting illegal aliens could violate the cities sanctuary city status.

I'd have to agree with this decision ...

FBI fires agents photographed kneeling during 2020 racial justice protest, AP sources say​

The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, three people familiar with the matter said Friday.

The bureau last spring had reassigned the agents but has since fired them, said the people, who insisted on anonymity to discuss personnel matters with The Associated Press.

The number of FBI employees terminated was not immediately clear, but two people said it was roughly 20.

I’m curious what due process was applied in firing them? Was it disciplinary? Performance? This will definitely be challenged in court, I’m curious whether the firings will hold up.

Sounds like at the time and in the moment that was a tactical decision to deescalate. That likely means it was a decision taken by someone at the supervisory level.

I don’t think anyone can plausibly claim there’s not an obvious potential political motive in the firings. Firing someone generates records and communications. Discovery on this one could be spicy.

This. Despite the at will nature of most US workplaces, you still can only be fired for legal reasons, and there is a very high bar applied to dismissal for gross misconduct.

I suspect there’s a fair bit of rules/law around federal employment which FBI falls under.

One extreme, now opposed by what some regard as another extreme.

Normies outnumber revolutionary vanguards as long as the power to choose extremes exists at the ballot box.
