    Default FBI Going After Right-Wing Militias

    Militia groups have a long history of taking part in anti-government events and right-wing political protests.

    The Oath Keepers are an anti-government, pro-gun militia composed largely of former law enforcement and military veterans “who believe that the federal government has been co-opted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip American citizens of their rights,” according to the F.B.I. The name of the Three Percenters, an anti-government group, is a reference to the purported 3 percent of the American colonial population that rose up to fight the British Army in the Revolution.

    NY Times link. Utter garbage. The NY Times is best used to wrap fresh fish with.

    The FBI has known about Trump's ties to organized crime and his racketeering for decades but yet here we are.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Gee, I wonder if "SmarterThanYou" will be around much longer, or at least make some changes to his screen name icon. Priceless!

    Did you find any errors in the story?

    This was based on FBI arrests of group members.

    Guys like Matty bought all the bilge from Miller in the NY Times about Iraq hook, line and sinker...and STILL defend all that crap to this day. Now suddenly, the NY Times is liberal evil. What a bunch of clowns.

    I spotted a lot of propaganda. If you can't, you suck.

    Also you got jipped on your education.
    It's half facts and half propaganda.
    That amounts to garbage.

    If you can spot propaganda, you wouldn't be a Trump supporter.

    Propaganda can also be factual. Did those FBI arrests of militia members occur? If it did, that was the main point.

    The purges have arrived. I hope they are only going after the criminal ones. Not the non criminal ones, otherwise it's very Stalinist.

    Elucidate, my child, elucidate. What SPECIFICALLY in the article can you logically and factually prove is propaganda. None of your generalized supposition and conjecture clap trap. PUOSU.
