thedavidrubin In Alaska, this has to be a joke. Our state capital, Juneau, is accessible by plane (TSA monitored) or personal boat (good luck)only. Anchorage is not our capital!

Of course they feel “emboldened” the GOP. Is still coddling them! Arrest Congressmen who assisted them!

movie_gal_10 So fbi warns of armed terrorist action in all 50 states. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some National announcement on what’s being done to protect the safety and integrity of those states with harsh warnings on the outcome for those who incite this?

If this happen in Pakistan.. your media says these are terrorist and extremist they don't accept elections.. please change the narrative for pakistan also

Yeah, Because they can’t fly. ✈️

Dumbass ppl

They know because they're coordinating it...

Hoping and praying for everyone normal, for peace, joy and healing!!! Please stay safe!!

hthjones After the Riots and Looting of last summer. Plus, this years election. Should anybody be surprised?

CHERYLM1937 Call them what they are...Terrorist Attacks.

The insurgents have warned they won't allow Trump to be removed from the WH. We may yet see him escorted out by the military. What do they think they'll achieve? He'll be allowed to stay and everything will go back as it was?

Meh, just keep locking up any violent folk. Republicans have developed the nicest for-profit prison system for them to enjoy.

America belongs to americans, not the chinese

You mean: 'according to anonymous FBI officials who would only read out to us what we are to report to the public. We are, therefore - without evidence except hearsay - spreading this story because we are the good guys.'

Where is the GOP on this?

Four years later, just wondering if America great again now?

The government needs to take this very seriously and prepare to fight back. Lets show these thugs what true Americans are about. Evil will not prevail.

Is it time that we sent UN peacekeepers into the states?

You need to monitor what Donald Trump or anything that his staff or admin says, texts, emails, or calls in the next 2 weeks and place 5,000,000 national guard on inauguration day plus every new technology to monitory buildings around.

This may or may not happen. That's the advantage terrorists have. A small group of people or 1 person can strike at the underbelly of the country at any time and create fear. Now that they've been censored, I expect we'll see a rash of intermittent violence from small groups.

1. For those who do not lie that the boomerang does not exist, I explain briefly: It has not yet flown!

Well, every Capital should have a right to fully protect their administrations from civil unrest and insurrectionists. The follows of the 'lawless & disorderly' President need to put down for liberty, law, and democracy.

Please, everyone, make protests peaceful. Violence will not help any cause.

The DOJ and National Guard are ready for them now. Look at bright side. Less fascists when this is over.

Holy shit! I hope that this does not come to pass 😲 I've been saying to friends that America might be heading for another civil war but honestly never it would happen ☹ Sad times. trump has broke America 😢

becomingjenn Troubling here in Phoenix area because there is apparently a high level support for Trumpism in our law enforcement community.

25th amendment or impeachment. Never negotiate with terrorists!

I look at the most entitled men on earth and wonder what the hell is wrong with their brains and emotions. Do they fear that they might become the people they oppress? Are they afraid that women and others are plotting to steal all their entitlements? I mean really, wtf?

I don’t wanna hear the government or feds weren’t prepared or didn’t see this coming, bullshit!! And a Covid spreader at that, call for military!

prchovanec Thank you, FBI.

Don’t call them protests. From this point on anyone that shows ip armed to state or federal target are potential terrorists, and we need to treat them as such.

How are people this 'passionate' about something as stupid as politics?

Law & Order my a.....

Looks like you've got civil unrest oh dear what a pity

Then why is it still being termed protest, lmaoooo

Capitols.

“Armed protest” is not a thing. Showing up en masse at a central location carrying weapons with the intent to intimidate is not a protest. I thought we covered all these nuances over the summer?

I thought the inauguration was going to be a zoom call 📺

Yo where you at? robertjeffress Franklin_Graham Paula_White

Armed insurrection*

🇺🇸Unbelievable 👀👀👀🇺🇸

It's time for Local Community Leaders to educate and mobilize in the short amount of time we have. There is definitely going to be the potential for lingering conflict, so recognizing radicalism and knowing where & how to report is going to be crucial in the following weeks.

I’M A MALE SEX CRIME/POLICE CORRUPTION VICTIM. I NEED HELP. WE NEED THE FBI TO INVESTIGATE THIS CASE TO PROTECT FUTURE VICTIMS. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE REACH OUT AND HELP?

They're not protests . They're terrorist attacks
