So I guess its okay for anarchists to build a wall, establish checkpoints, require photo ids, and create an armed security force all in 24 hours. Welcome Lord of the flies…
@Alex Ocasio-Gomez an·ar·chy
/ˈanərkē/
noun
a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority.
Show u can’t have anarchy without rule. Don’t think anyone told them that.
@Kristi Marie Because they are morons and crooks, not Anarchist.
I think it’s a total disgrace that they have a border with a checkpoint, whatever happened to open borders? 😂
Kristi Marie so are you saying they did it wrong like there was no true communist country ever.
“No one is above the law.” Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris…
Clinton
Well,,, unless they agree with that bunch…. lmao
Except democrats.
President Trump needs to come in and do something about this the people that live there are scared for their lives they have the constitutional right to live in and be free and in this situation they’re not they’re being held captive by these protesters and the mayor of f****** Seattle is letting it happen he needs to come in and save the law by citizens that are being held captive in their own neighborhood for other reasons that they just happen to live there they don’t want a part of this s*** just like a black lives that matter or three blocks down the street don’t want a part of this s*** President Trump you need to come in and do something this is ridiculous and the mayor needs to be held accountable for treason at the least impeached for not protecting her f****** citizens lullaby The people the pay taxes that she is not protected right now their civil liberties while she sits at home in her f****** mansion f*** that b****
@jamie griffin NO! Trump should let Seattle burn right to ashes. The MAYOR even said he’s not welcome to intervene! After it is truly finished, Americans can go in, sweep up and establish a reasonable city infrastructure, perhaps absent any leftists! That would CERTAINLY be better than what they’ve had there.
“invade Seattle”? wtf is she saying?
Trump cannot invade with troops without permission
@chichanleon123 heh, it’s not in invasion, it is putting down an armed rebellion. Seattle and “CHAZ” is part of the US. The Insurrection Act exists you know. And, Trump can send in troops to Seattle even without permission from Congress as he is commander-in-chief and that he is not deploying troops to foreign nations.
Summary of article: Reeee, Orange Man Bad
*REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
These people are making idiocracy look like a documentary about democrats.
CHAZ BAD…..
You know you people would lose less votes if you came out and condemned these people. Keep it up, though.
Gotham City has more competent political leadership than Seattle.
*America
Lol lol lol
@William Tongsiri Competency is awfully slim on the local, state and national level and in both parties these days. In an actual, competitive political system, there would be viable third parties that could offer other solutions. But, no….!
@logan10662 Batman doesn’t put up with that crap in Gotham. So, Gotham actually is looking better all the time.
Felix Blackwood good point actually
“police response times have tripled in that area because of the precinct closure”… Nice, now when someone is getting robbed or murdered inside their home, it can take the cops 3 times as long to show up. Thanks, protestors.
Robberies and murders happen in seconds. I have hardly ever seen police catch a felony as it happens
Not to worry with the councilors and social workers standing at the ready. Don’t ya know the police are “the problem”. It’s all a big distraction. And pathetic
It doesn’t surprise me that Joan Cusack is now the mayor of Seattle lololol
Shame on the “free” press…. *its more of a communist propaganda machine…*
Freedom of press, no?
CCP NEWS
They always have been. Why did it take this for you all to realize that?
@chichanleon123 lol, Fox news is only marginally better than the Commedia channels
Yeah that became crystal clear when trump had his photo taken in front of that church
“The threat to invade Seattle”. She’s trying to make it sound like Seattle is a country, and the U.S. is “invading”. This woman needs to be fired, arrested and imprisoned. Completely insane.
@Alex Ocasio-Gomez
I thought border patrol was bad? What gives?
@Alex Ocasio-Gomez LOL. Give me a few minutes, I’m heading to my downtown. I’m going to declare it as my own country and I’m the new Sheriff/President. Let’s see how well that goes.
Treason
Aren’t all Dumbocrats insane?
@Merkava4IMI Apparently it might go all right if you have the right social justice cause behind you.
Seattle mayor’s hatred for Trump has scrambled her brains removing any ability to make a logical and just decision!!!
Interesting how they built a wall and barriers to protect the chaz. Isn’t that racist?
What
@Cee Little Trump’s walls were apparently only fences as well once funding was taken away. Repurposed to protect Americans.
Cee Little it’s going to be a long 4 more years for you
Guy from Megas XLR weak dumb and dangerous- Democrats 2020
@Wayne Anderson Are Maga hats allowed? 🤪
I like how she claims that the POTUS “Invading and dividing” is illegal. Does she not understand that’s literally what the anarchist did?
Same thing the colonists did in 1776
@Thyalwaysseek so when the 5th station of mpd was taken over, was it abandoned? no lol.
Those arent anarchist. Those are butthurt college kids. You americans have no idea what true anarchy is.
@Shao Yu Mai Wang,
If there’s a need, yes.
@thegeorgezila What “need” is there to take over the police department and any other building they’ve taken over down there? The 1960’s called and they want their acid back, you filthy hippie.
She said we don’t need an invading force in Seattle. The irony here is unbelievable.
@manoman0 lol ! 👍
You don’t understand irony, Josh.
@chichanleon123 I‘m TRUMPSTER ,so what?!
@Kamina u first freckle cleaner
Nah just play some nirvana and toss in a bunch of shotguns with only one shell per each of them. The rest will solve itself as it did so many years ago.
MSNBC be like: It’s a “street festival 😀”.
People in Baghdad be like: “Your street SUCKS!”
It’s not her city anymore. They declared themselves their own country.
@Erto Bert Liar. Nice try.
@thom wessels
If autonomy means independent country then I geuss USA doesnt exist and that all and each state are a single independent sovereign nation.
Smh at you…
@Erto Bert you liar !
@Erto Bert HUH?
Erto Bert ummmmmm, CHAZ. Declared that a country. Explain, because maybe I miss the point. They re taking up 6 city blocks. Put up walls.. barricades. And are asking for people to come (ARMED)and defend their borders. You have to show ID to get past the barriers. Rap star turned general. Stating this is the new land. Maybe I missed something. Or your watching to much CNN.
Whatever MSNBC tells you…
Is the OPPOSITE!
These people are making idiocracy look like a documentary about democrats.
I like the guy with the sign. “I won’t lie, I’m just here for the drugs.”
Facts!!
Where was that
@Bobby Glander —On the sign.
@Bobby Booshay time stamp
