    Do federal agents have a right to be there? The “no identification” thing appears to be a red herring, as they seem to be identifying as a mix of federal law enforcement agencies, primarily CBP. Arresting without probable cause is a serious problem, but I suspect violent protests and vandalism against property could be cited extensively here.

    the left leaning media of course will push the narratives they want promoted, yet again. Don’t fall for it unless you have proof otherwise.

    At some point, some opinions are not worth engaging with. Making fun of / attacking people's opinions on politics is an effective strategy to degrade whatever comments are being made. If you come out and say some silly **** people are going to ridicule you.

    Why ridicule someone saying wacky stuff? If someone keeps making awful comments unchecked, the person making shitty comments can grow more confident in that belief, which can end up convincing others who don't know better and are sold on the confidence one speaks with.

    There's nothing okay about federal agents arresting citizens while completely unmarked, in unmarked cars, not explaining they are making an arrest, and if you want to come in here and try to defend it, we're going to call you a clown. The market place of ideas and whatnot.

    Here's what a LOT of Americans see when they look at what is going on in Portland:-
    Often violent mobs roaming inner city precincts destroying tax payer funded and private property - under the banner of "peaceful" protest.
    These mobs clash with law enforcement with fireworks, laser pointers and thrown objects and other means.
    Regular citizens frightened by the presence of these mobs and unable to use these precincts.
    A victim mentality when dealt with by LEOs for unlawful activities which is then justified in many areas of the media - often because correct data is unavailable so the cycle perpetuates. All the while seemingly ignoring or even justifying the fact that these activities are unlawful, destructive and disruptive.
    If you think this is all great stuff, then I think you need to look in the mirror when calling someone with a rational eye view a clown.
    If you think something I say is wacky, then justify your accusation - otherwise nobody has any idea why.
    It is easy to say something - more difficult to validate.

    It's gonna be amazing how the black helicopter and Jade Helm folks react to this.

    This week FEMA is distributing refrigerated mortuary trucks. Coincidence? Hardly.

    Under what rock does trump find these creatures? Saying that Cuccinelli is dangerous is a grievous understatement.

    Or use your 2A rights and shoot at them when they come at you as you don't know if they are white nationalists or what......and have a right to protect yourself.

    Not only that but why do they think these things will work?

    Actually they don't think they will work, they just hope it will cause confusion and hopefully anarchy so they can blame it on the dems.

    Where is Rand Paul on this?

    I've thought that several times before this. That trump and his minions have been bent on stirring the pot, hoping for violence in order to sell their phony message. Clearly, there are a handful here who are eager to join in the effort. Pretty sick and twisted of them, assuming they are aware of what they're doing. Most aren't, in my opinion, to be fair. They're just being swept along in their leader's insanity.

    Rand Paul? He sold out long ago.
