Nope. No they aren’t lol

Is it Antifa and BLM?

We need him to have daily FBI press briefings on the threats nationwide.

Lil concerning they are saying the same thing every day. Very much a drum beat.

Praying for peace.

The threats are inside the WH and all levels of law enforcement.

For the first time, FBI stands on the opposite side of protesters instead of supporting them, I think it's because the protesting thing happens in the U.S.

The bias media is leading America astray and the biggest cause for America democracy failings Watch their headlines and you will know how shamelessly they have lost integrity

Maga

What do people expect when: 1: half the population is ostracized for holding differing opinions 2: the standard for what is acceptable behavior is different depending on political officiating

macterrell Oh, so now they’re tracking. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why dont people make it easier on law enforcement and see if they can have the Inauguration only on tv in a building with limited people.

ONCE MORE: A society that is not ready, and willing, to visit swift and overwhelming retribution on extremism's outbursts is not a society worth defending.

Glad we can finally remove Wray from the milk carton box. Wish we would hear from him every other day.

I have no doubt that something big is going to go down somewhere in the US. I really really hope I'm wrong.

Except not on Parler, right?

It was quite obvious since the election this was coming.

Good to know, but no one is going to be tracking shit if the censorship continues. Don’t force the troublesome underground.

I love how the just ignore the fact that their candidate LIST the election by thousands of votes. No question, they are acting like treasonist criminals trying to overturn the will of the people.

From now on, we must defend American democracy. Law enforcement must go all in with stopping the Capitol insurgents, and the rest of us must remind everyone that we all have a voice in this country. A hateful minority cannot, should not, and will not silence us.

Quite the swing to see the right now the leaders of violence against law and order.

Is this the Susan Collins type of concern?

This can't be true they shut down Parler...

Read this GOP and Pence this is what your boss have done...are you proud of it GOP impeach him and pence invokethe25th

So does that mean they're not shuffling around in my porn folder anymore?

It has all been debunked. The over exaggerated show of force is meant to plant the illusion of a huge threat by white Americans. After the inauguration everyone will agree very harsh measures must be put in place vs. whites to make sure such threats by whites never happen again.

The violence will come from Antifa

Finally better late than never I know you guys have known about the far right extremist for a while now and you refuse to call them domestic terrorists maybe that'll change

Head to CNN green room, they'll find all the instigators.

It concerns me that Trump stooge Chris Wray is in charge of things

So basically the same as 2016

Playing Politics 🤦🏻‍♂️

LoL they are just spying on each other

Thanks trump, thanks Mitch.

These people are the worst criminals ever. I want a 9 part documentary on how easy it was to catch them.

Zoom?

Those cheeky Trumpies!
