    Wrong, Jacky.

    Foreign terrorists brought the war to American soil. Our domestic federal and local police agencies are fighting that terrorism.

    Get your facts, straight.

    You may have missed the premise of the exchange. It was about Waco. A Government Death Squad (probably like something from Latin America) sent in to 'neutralize' a 'Public Threat'.
    As it turned out, it was just an 'Exercise' to show Congress why the ATF needed MORE money for their Bureaucracy. The proceeding 'Government Propaganda' was certainly spot on, convincing Americans that this needed to be done.

    Earl. Let me ask you, if Trump used Helicopter Gunships and Battle Tanks on the Democratic Headquarters (because Pedophilia, Meth Labs, and ... sex rings) would you be opposed to that?

    How many police officers were killed at the Waco standoff?

    Why do you hate the police?

    There were no tanks used at WACO other than the water tank.



    Maybe it was one of those new Sherman Tanks that are actually stealth tanks and not visible and don't leave any trace.

    The vehicles used by the FBI were Combat Engineering Vehicles.

    Stormtroopers? Do you mean Stormtroopers?
    I doubt you ever heard of the 'Nixon No-Knock' Law.
    Once upon a time, the Police would have to knock at your door and identify themselves.
    Now, thanks to Nixon, they can kick your door down, and start shooting.

    Helicopter Gun Ships and Battle Tanks? Are you trying to prove you need to up your medication?

    Your quote:

    “Interesting that you take the side of the Government Death Squad over the American People.”

    What American people?

    Are you referring to the kooks in Koresh’s cult who bought all his messianic bullshit?

    Another non-answer. You’re full of them today.

    Shouldn't you be using actual truth to reveal the fascists rather than lying about what happened?

    There were no Helicopter Gunships or Battle Tanks used at Waco. Believe in things that aren't true at peril to your sanity.

    "Washington, D.C. was of course mostly Black. And it would likely be mostly Black people who would feel the brunt of the new policy. And so here was the aging, towering figure of a senator, nearing the end of his career, standing as the only member of the U.S. Senate who was outraged at this bill that would allow narcotics cops to smash into their homes without first knocking and announcing themselves."
    "In 1971 President Nixon issued an executive order that vastly expanded the power of a creepy federal agency called the Subversive Activities Control Board (SACB). Nixon authorized the SACB to investigate essentially anyone Nixon deemed to be an enemy. When Ervin heard about this, he went ballistic, and set about to override the order. With a number of parliamentary maneuvers and some impassioned speeches in defense of the First Amendment, he succeeded in effectively cutting off funding to the board, causing its demise."

    Then argue about what actually is happening and stop making up and believing shit that didn't happen. Arguing while using the actual facts is a much stronger argument than hyperbole and paranoia.
