ANTIFA to be designated as a terorist organization

Today @POTUS just tweeted that the US would label ANTIFA as a terrorist organization.

The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.

This should make tracking and arresting the rioters causing damage in numerous towns much easier and should give law enforcement probable cause to do so and, as far as I know, it will make funding it illegal, which will not only stop Soros, the politicians and the cecebrities but it will also give them a negative image and they'll be known as terrorist funders.

Well when the shoe fits you might as well wear it.

According to twitter this is just to deflect attention off the white nationalists.

Also this is my favorite tweet of the year:

I thought they were supposed to have designated Antifa as terrorist a while back already. What happened to that?

It is about time the same happens here. Enough with the masked rioting, time for consequences now.

Former Federal Prosecutor Andrew McCarthy says he's put away many domestic terrorists, using existing laws. That they can be applied to Antifa as well.

Would this "designation" of Antifa as a terrorist organization open any new doors for prosecuting them, I wonder?

Yes..in 2019 President Trump wanted to, but "someone" at the DOJ or Homeland Security wouldn't go along with it. The George Soros followers had infiltrated key parts of the U.S. government. Maybe the path is clear now. Lots of people removed, who never make the news.

Does that give the public free reign to kick f*** out of them London Bridge style if seen doing their thing?

CX.

I know they need to do something about it but how will they decide if someone is Antifa? You can’t go by the face being covered anymore.

All I’m really saying is I’m curious how they’ll enforce this.

This, this right here, this just made my day.

I made the mistake of going onto FB today, many of the people I know are pretty liberal and support everything the rioters are doing for the most part, as if we all deserve this. I just want to ask them if they'd still support all of this once those people make it to their neighborhoods. Will they still support it once their own stuff is burning to the ground?? Is that what it would take to convince them all this is wrong??

Y'know, screw it, I'm going to go stir the pot, thanks for the seasoning, so to speak. ;D

Considering there is no group ANTIFA, I get the feeling this either goes no where or is another tool for police/feds to attack left-wing groups.

If they are designated a terrorist organization, I believe it makes it easier to use the NSA and other agencies to listen to their communications.

The best Recruitment Poster is to make an organisation illegal.

We learned that with The Provisional IRA.

Good luck.

I thought so too, but now that I think about it, it seems like it was just a few states that did. Now that it's a national thing, hopefully it will quell this country of "Antifa", the most fascist group of idiots on planet Earth.

Hah! that's a GREAT point, actually. COVID19 now makes it OK and even mandated in some places to wear a mask.

You may want to tell ANTIFA that they are not a group...

ANTIFA Website

And you can probably join up while you are there and get a paycheck to riot!

/facepalm

I've noticed a pretty substantive shift of perception toward Antifa in the MSM and particularly in office holding Democratic mayors and governors starting pretty early Saturday morning. I just saw the Democratic mayor of Denver saying he was on a call with other Mayors and they were saying that they were feeling that the rioting was coordinated in a manor by some group or groups that were well funded and organized.

You'll here no complaint from me on labeling Antifa and it's affiliates either Domestic or even Foreign Terrorist organization since it's roots are in Europe.

You really won't even hear a complaint against The President declaring Antifa or any organized group funding, organizing, or participating in organized looting and burning as in Active Insurrection Against the People, Constitution, and Government of the United States and treating them like the Confederacy.

And connections can be fabricated and abused. Maybe its time the government listens to what the people need out of life. We need government but not over reaching government that drives people to these organizations.

Wondered the same thing - could the leaders and funders, for example, just be rounded up and sent to Guantanamo?
That is what needs to happen.
