Trump announces US to designate Antifa as terrorist organization following violent protests

Oh, you didn’t hear? The KKK was founded by the Democratic Party. While we’re on the topic, the Democratic Party is also the party of slavery.

President Trump on the other hand specifically called out the KKK, neo Nazi’s and white supremacists. Here’s the video.

That all changed when Democrats passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965 which much to the horror of southern whites gave millions of southern blacks the right to vote for the first time. Following that most of the racists moved to the Republican Party who since 1964 has been friendlier to their cause.

Yes, Trump got in trouble and read a speech where he denounced those groups. He did that one time, then quickly forgot about it.

Do terrorist have Constitutional rights? Are Terrorists protected by the Geneva Convention? | The Rational Animal

We find ourselves at war. But it is not a conventional war against a conventional enemy that flies a flag, or wears a uniform, or protects a border. It is a war against terrorists. But before we consider the rules and laws regarding a war against terrorist let’s look first at a more conventional war.

In World War II when we captured a German or Japanese soldier did we read them their Miranda rights? Did we appoint them a Public Defender? Were they able to appeal their “case” to the US Court system. No? Why not? Because as enemy combatants they were NOT protected by the Constitution, they were protected by the Geneva Convention.

A blog?? Do you have something better than a blog ?
 
you do realize that during the Civil Rights movement the Democrats became Republicans and the Republicans became Democrats right?

Haha, then why are they still called the Democratic Party? Why didn't they change their name away from the party that formed the KKK and supported slavery? Same party .... same racism.
 
- Blacks don't rob stores, they punish whites for centuries of slavery.
"By robbing stores?"
- As they can.
"Can they work?"
- You're a racist!!!
 
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.

In the 1920s, the Italian Fascists described their ideology as right-wing in the political program The Doctrine of Fascism, stating: "We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right,' a fascist century"

The Italian term fascismo is derived from fascio meaning "a bundle of sticks", ultimately from the Latin word fasces. This was the name given to political organizations in Italy known as fasci, groups similar to guilds or syndicates.


So, it is a political ideology, not in reference to what you are saying. The police were not called Fasci.....so either you made that up or you read it from some right wing blog trying to make crap up. What you likely are talking about is the fascist military he created...and since I speak a Latin based langauge(Spanish) I know what this means. It means Autonomous Fascist Revolutionary Force.

Fasci Autonomi d'Azione Rivoluzionaria

That definition of fascism is politically derived and incorrect. If you accept the above definition of fascism, you are making fascism exclusively into a right-winged ideology and you exclude Mussolini, the father of fascism, who was left-winged. It's also apparent you 'prosecute' fascism over other forms of authoritarianism because you are punishing the right-winged behavior and not so concerned with punishing authoritarianism.

You think fascism is a political crime.:lamo
 
are you a fascist? I did not call it a political crime. I called it a political ideology. It is a political party and ideology.

If you are accepting of fascism you don't consider fascism a political crime. Are you accepting of fascism? For that matter, are you accepting of other forms of authoritarianism than fascism like communism or ANTIFA?
 
He was the founder of fascism. He started calling himself a fascist and created the movement that took him to power...I already provided for you where they came from...stop repeating what is not true.

Stop repeating what you wish so desperately to be true about Mussolini. Question: do you hate other forms of authoritarianism than fascism like communism or ANTIFA, for examples? Why or why not?
 
What the hell are you babbling about? I'm a good listener when I want to be. But you make no sense at all.

Why do you hate fascism?
 
Haha, then why are they still called the Democratic Party? Why didn't they change their name away from the party that formed the KKK and supported slavery? Same party .... same racism.

Why didn't the Republicans change theirs? Actually, the people you are talking about are Dixiecrats...and just so you know..Dixiecrats were who became Republicans and were ejected from the party for their racism.

The Dixie Democrats seceding from the Democratic Party. The rump convention, called after the Democrats had attached President Truman’s civil rights program to the party platform, placed Governor Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Governor Fielding L. Wright of Mississippi in nomination. (Credit: Bettmann/Getty Images)
These defectors, known as the “Dixiecrats,” held a separate convention in Birmingham, Alabama. There, they nominated South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond, a staunch opposer of civil rights, to run for president on their “States’ Rights” ticket. Although Thurmond lost the election to Truman, he still won over a million popular votes.


Are you really going to try to say that Strom Thurmond wasn't a Republican?

Though some Democrats had switched to the Republican party prior to this, “the defections became a flood” after Johnson signed these acts, Goldfield says. “And so the political parties began to reconstitute themselves.”

The change wasn’t total or immediate. During the late 1960s and early ‘70s, white Southerners were still transitioning away from the Democratic party (newly enfranchised black Southerners voted and continue to vote Democratic). And even as Republican Richard Nixon employed a “Southern strategy” that appealed to the racism of Southern white voters

repeating? Um, no it is historically accurate what I posted to you. Not sure why, if you are an American, that you are trying to justify Nazis.

No, that is the only definition their is. You cannot try to rewrite history and make up your own false narrative.

No, I consider it a short sighted and wrong political philosophy that is based on racism and nationalism and authoritarianism...the antithesis of what being an American is. You cannot be an American, that believes in American culture, ideals and our Constitution and be a fascist. The ideology isn't a political crime..it is an ideology...it is the actions that fascists take that are criminal...and human rights violations and crimes against humanity....not the ideology itself.

Re: Antifa: Trump says group will be designated terrorist organisation

:thumbdown. :bs

I've seen cops fire on unarmed women standing on their own porch. I've seen cops smash the windows of their own vehicles, and the vehicles of civilians. I've seen cops stand in front of a crowd of protesters who are completely peaceful, completely unmoving, with one person speaking out against brutality... and for them to walk up and arrest the person speaking. I've seen cops intentionally target journalist with "less lethal" ammunition. One lost an eye. I've seen cops herd groups of protesters into a trap. Blocked on both sides by a wall of riot shields, the police then start gassing the protesters. (which would be a war crime, if done on a battlefield) I've seen cops slap cell phones out of peoples' hands and then stomp on them, and then walk away. I've seen cops sitting on a woman's back while choking her with a baton, while simultaneously shouting at her to stand up. I've seen cops on horseback trample people from behind.

For a long time, America has been responding to police violence by telling ourselves over and over and over again that it's just a few bad apples. Most cops are good cops. But if that were true, wouldn't they have purged the bad ones by now? Wouldn't enough of them stood up to put an end to the evil in their own ranks? In reality, it seems to be the other way around. Good cops get ostracized, held back from promotions, punished, left to die when they need help. "Snitches get stitches," but on a grander scale than any street gang has managed. A good cop tends to just keep their head down, and burns out and leaves the force. Even the FBI has warned that white supremacist groups have been actively pushing to infiltrate police forces. Maybe it's time to admit to ourselves that "most cops are good" just isn't true anymore.
 
Re: Antifa: Trump says group will be designated terrorist organisation

I've seen cops....

Cool story, bro; but it's anecdotal. Are you willing to paint the entire military bad because of Abu Ghraib?

All women because that one b**** humiliated you? All blacks because some looted and burned?

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't necessarily condemn all police officers as brutal animals or systematically racist.

"Anecdotal" is being too polite.

Re: Antifa: Trump says group will be designated terrorist organisation

I read it twice in it's entirety.

"There are 17,985 U.S. police agencies in the United States which include City Police Departments, County Sheriff's Offices, State Police/Highway Patrol and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies. " - Law enforcement in the United States - Wikipedia

All these different agencies are autonomous. A problem in Chicago doesn't mean the same problem exists in the Lane County Sheriffs dept. in Oregon. If police in the Bronx are racist, it doesn't mean cops in Pidwiddle, Kansas are racist.

The left and media are trying to paint ALL COPS as racist murderers hunting blacks. It's just NOT TRUE.
 
fascism is based on racism and nationalism. It is also requiring of being an autocratic state or authoritarianism......not a free state. You cannot be an American and be a fascist.

ANTIDA is authoritarian and in the US. Are you against ANTIFA?
 
repeating? Um, no it is historically accurate what I posted to you. Not sure why, if you are an American, that you are trying to justify Nazis.

How am I justifying Nazis?
 
No, that is the only definition their is. You cannot try to rewrite history and make up your own false narrative.

You are rewriting history when you try to make Mussolini exclusively right-winged.

BTW, did you know Hitler based his Nazism on Mussolini's system of government?

Is ANTIFA non-American because ANTIFA is authoritarian?:lamo
