The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.

The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current "anti-government" investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.

"The FBI is in an almost impossible position," says a current FBI official, who requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters. The official said that the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. But the Bureau must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government. By focusing on former president Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, the official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.

"Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has 'weaponized' the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully," says the official.

1. Time to kick in some doors and arrest these terrorists.

Look in the police, fire, and governments...the rats multiply if you don't get the problem under control.

4. Any credible threats and conspiracies against government offices, elected officials,

election workers, etc should be all disrupted amd prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law.

On my phone so that’s all I’m bringing over.

If they're going to call me a terrorist no matter what I do, I see no possible benefit to not "acting the part" to the ****ing hilt. I see no reason not to generate a stack of leftist scum bodies so damned high that my name will be spoken of in hushed, fearful tones among the limp wrists, pearl clutchers and spineless wonders of the American left for generations

Maybe I'll even get my mug on a tee-shirt like Che Guevara? 

[Old n Grumpy]

I guess they have worn out racist, homophobe, transphobe, fascist and misogynistic so now conservatives are terrorists.

Those people are to much. And when one of them tries to make them see the error of their ways he is shouted down

Brandon's getting desperate. He's trying to rally Dems against a Bogeyman Enemy. This isn't Stalinist Russia, so I don't think Brandon's De-Kulakization will work as DUmmies wish. Nor, I suspect, as Brandon wishes.

That's a hell of a thread over there.  They are absolutely bloodthirsty with zero self-awareness.

57. I'm starting

to question a lot of things. These sort of posts make the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Continue to question everything, Crank.  Holy shit are those creatures evil.  And they don't even see it.

44. It might take necessary evil

to take out the greater evil. An unfortunate circumstance.

This is how concentration camps and the "final solution" are born.

Swap MAGA for Antifa and watch the DUmp bust the world's fastest U turn. 

Edit for additions.  I found a digital copy of the printed Newsweek article.  Unlike the online one, it does include some pictures from the George Floyd riots, and one of vandalism during Trump's inauguration.  It's still mostly Jan 6th photos, but an interesting editorial choice to focus the online imagery entirely on Trump, Proud Boys, and Jan 6th, while the print imagery does include some of the other "AGAAVE" that has gone on recently.

That’s why they don’t have mirrors over there, their reflection would make them cringe.

They will never admit that their terrorist gang even exists
