    1. @Marya Laya Espaldon ok.. wipe the slate clean.
      It would be in both parties interest to be civil.
      I can insult you, and you I.
      Let’s talk

    2. The Governor ASKED for assistance. She will deny the details of that request on Monday on MSNBC

    3. @Mike The Nazis propaganda campaign involved control of Film, Media and Education….if you don’t see the parallels of Hollywood being against Trump…MSM being against Trump and Educators being against Trump. You truly are the numb nuts in question. I have had the honor on knowing those who fought actual nazis – YOU are a tool.

    1. @Ralph Boyd oh yeah?? Name a few that aren’t liberals

      Remember when jussie Smollett was lynched by MAGA hats in MAGA country? How don’t we know it’s not you doing it?

    2. @Mueller Time
      Remember when Dylan Roof massacred people in that church?
      How about Bowers at the Pittsburgh Synagogue?

      Terrorists are Right Wing Extremist Terrorists that all are Republicans and support Trump.

    3. @Tamatik Canada your credibility is totally shyte, I’m not a socialist and I think you struggle with what socialism is. Given how much money Trump has given to farmers his failed tariffs on China has cost them, the billions the rich Republican donors have received, i think you really need to STFU as you have no idea about politics if you want to critize socialism and not call out Trump.

    1. @Jose Martinez Yeah, so sorry not to let you have a new Nazi utopia….I’m not going to be able to sleep at night.

    2. @Eli Dicken Hate to disappoint…biden is being replaced next month. DNC corruption at play, as usual

  1. Canadian here. Do 30% of the American electorate really support sending the kids to school amidst a pandemic and secret police snatching up citizens? You guys look like your literally losing your democracy.

    1. @Advanced Media Network You don’t GET politics do you? Its ALL about a narrative…keep believing BS if you like, Americans prefer FACTS

    2. C.J. DrakVolken, Sweetie I helped stare down BATF jackbooted thugs during the Clinton Administration, Corrupt DOJ, and IRS scum under Obama. You Black Bloc BLM/ANTIFA cowards don’t impress me.

    3. jax jaxie, Where were you when Obama actually did what Nixon was to be impeached for only talking about doing again?

    4. @Patrick V. One Van with Florida plates. When will serial killers declare open season using this garb? Easy way to kidnap and have no one know who you are AT ALL.

    1. Trailin’ Annie – believe it or not, it’s real and it’s happening. It can happen in your town too

  2. We got an American president going to war with American citizens while he let’s Putin put bounties on American soldiers there got to be a way to get him out of there before November if not we are in serious trouble

    1. @Tim P Irrelevant that can only come out of a deranged mind. WTF are you on about. Take breath, calm down and try to think and then write it down. Then read it and see if it makes sense and is relevant. If you are on something wait until it wears out enough to allow you think clearly.

    2. Impeachment useless….. But treason? Attacking citizens? Waiting for him to start killing journalists before anything gets done? NOW…. arrest the slimy traitor and drag him out of the people’s house🇨🇦

    1. Etothe2iPi Yes! I will believe ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that MSNBC tells me!! They NEVER lie or twist the truth to serve their own agenda!
      Yes! Trump is “Pro Virus” and “doesn’t care about people dying” and is now sending “secret police” to ‘disappear people’ like China does! They are just pulling up in unmarked vans and scooping up innocent people off the streets and taking them away, never to be heard from again and “citizens are terrified’!! And the more times they repeat their Hate-Trump stories the more I believe them!!!! And NO, I am not brainwashed!!

    1. @Sal’tripin Guitar & Pedal Co. germany 1930s had 40h workweek and also cafeterias for their german workers. You say stop believing what the media tells you. But the media is leftist owned by zionists, quite the contrary I have to research alternative news sites to find the truth. so yes we agree on something the mainstream media is lies. therefore everything it says about trump is a lie. The same way when fox news use to lie about obama, i agree they lied too, in fact anything mainstream media both left and right is a complete lie. One has to do their own research, and the truth is. There are good people in both far left marxist and far right fascist. But that you don’t want to hear. I’ve gone down that rabbit whole to research both sides, and both come out correct. The difference is which greedy side is one on? Anti-European (aka communist) or pro-european (fascist).

    2. T R U M P 2020 ******** //////// T R U M P 2020 ******** //////// T R U M P 2020 ******** ////////

    3. Putin is Rrump’s abusive father and Trump will do ANYTHING to please him and gain his love. One sick puppy, trump is.

  3. Next stage are “death squads”. The play book of how to supress people in right wing dictatorship like Chile or Argentina in 70’s.

    1. Jukka Kopol Yes! I will believe ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that MSNBC tells me!! They NEVER lie or twist the truth to serve their own agenda!
      Yes! Trump is “Pro Virus” and “doesn’t care about people dying” and is now sending “secret police” to ‘disappear people’ like China does! They are just pulling up in unmarked vans and scooping up innocent people off the streets and taking them away, never to be heard from again and “citizens are terrified’!! And the more times they repeat their Hate-Trump stories the more I believe them!!!! And NO, I am not brainwashed!!

    2. I love watching civil wars. Send in the death squads! Send in the military!

      The only people affected every-time(regardless of country) are the same groups 18-25yr old anarchists and communists (because their parents don’t love them). So I’m not affected and enjoy watching the carnage.

    3. I think those come later. The next steps would probably be a phony terrorist attack, like a dirty bomb in a major city, then a fake assassination attempt on you know who – then a deputizing of loyal tardz, and *then* the death squads

  4. Hitler and the Nazi’s had what was called “Storm Troopers”, same as we have here. Government thugs.

    1. @ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΣΤΕΡΓΙΟΥ I figured that out. But I think the original comment was referring to the SA nonetheless. And the connection to the Blitzkrieg is BS. Anyway, totally offtopic.

    2. @Chaos & Sandale there are evidence to suggest that Heinz Guderian who was the man who reformed the German war doctrine before ww2 was highly influenced from those guys.

    3. @ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΣΤΕΡΓΙΟΥ omfg, you really think that i would be interested in this discussion? if you really wanna learn more about history, put less emphasis on war tactics or the thoughts of a few leading men.

  5. So to be clear, when it comes to the pandemic the federal government takes no responsibility as they say it’s for the States to deal with themselves (death toll 140,000 and rising). Yet with these protesters who have killed nobody they send in these unidentified goons who will shoot someone in the face for playing music at them?
    Right, gotcha.

    1. Individual 1 Yes! I will believe ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that MSNBC tells me!! They NEVER lie or twist the truth to serve their own agenda!
      Yes! Trump is “Pro Virus” and “doesn’t care about people dying” and is now sending “secret police” to ‘disappear people’ like China does!

And the more times they repeat their Hate-Trump stories the more I believe them!!!! And NO, I am not brainwashed!!

    2. @Trailin’ Annie Shut the f… up and go to a Fox site if you want to be with your other Trump-cult believer friends! Praise your f…ing messiah and believe every fascist lie this authotarian mob boss tells you, but leave us alone! Troll!

    1. dej lre Yes! I will believe ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that MSNBC tells me!! They NEVER lie or twist the truth to serve their own agenda!

    3. @Trailin’ AnnieMeanwhile you give the Liar in Chief a blank check.The Straw versus The Beam for you pretend Christians.

    4. When governors and mayors fail in their duties to protect the citizens of their cities, someone has to step in. It is part of the president’s authority to stop Insurrections and rebellions.

  6. This is why we have a National Guard in each state, the governor should send them out to defend the protesters. Now THAT would change the game!

    1. Shawn Hollywood, The National Guard would probably refuse such an blatantly unlawful order.
      But hey the sooner you idiots fire on Fort Sumter again the sooner this ends.

    2. @Peter Bills What do you know? Have you witnessed this or are you just following WH rhetorics?

    3. Lars Jones, You really don’t want the militia playing in this.
      We would put those rioters up against the wall and shoot them after a drumhead court marshal.

  7. “Anonymous federal agents” shouldn’t even be a thing. No badge, no jurisdiction. Throw them in jail for kidnapping.

    1. @Aishah Rose Marie faux news and the rest. all news is to be taken from the stand point of “i dont know these peoples true intent or connection to the story” fox is one of the worst things to believe..

  8. “Secret Police” equals “Nazis/SS/Brownshirts/Gestapo”. Explain to me again why you think that comparing trump to Hitler is wrong? Because he’s doing EXACTLY what Hitler did and that should scare EVERY American.

    1. Doc Lewis Yes! I will believe ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that MSNBC tells me!! They NEVER lie or twist the truth to serve their own agenda!
      Yes! Trump is “Pro Virus” and “doesn’t care about people dying” and is now sending “secret police” to ‘disappear people’ like China does! They are just pulling up in unmarked vans and scooping up innocent people off the streets and taking them away, never to be heard from again and “citizens are terrified’!! And the more times they repeat their Hate-Trump stories the more I believe them!!!! And NO, I am not brainwashed!! (All spoken in best robot voice)

    2. @Trailin’ Annie Sorry moron but your message is a lie! You MAGA terrorists are going to GITMO!

  9. Camouflage armed secret police in unmarked vehicles, must be in a Russian state….wrong in Portland !

    1. @Trailin’ Annie Shut the f… up and go to a Fox site if you want to be with your other Trump-cult believer friends! Praise your f…ing messiah and believe every fascist lie this authotarian mob boss tells you, but leave us alone! Troll!

    2. @Trailin’ Annie Have you listened to what Trump says? He affirms everything MSNBC reported. He threatened protestors with retribution and he does want to ban any measures ordered by states or counties to force the economy back open completely irrespective of the situation of the virus spread.
      So by your thinking your supreme leader is in on it.

      btw: Foreign journalists report the same stuff as “biased for reality” liberal US media.

    3. Andrew Wheeler
      you don’t travel much do you? Almost every state has unmarked police vehicles. They are used to catch law breakers
      in the act of crimes. Like the protesters in Portland.

    1. @MasteR BlasteR You need a cell in GITMO Traitor! What about Habeas corpus? You need a quick trial and a long drop with a short rope traitor!

    2. @Captain Clone na but you will soon be There or a date on ur headstone either way is fine by me.

    1. Agreed. This is classic modus operandi of secret police. Republicans aren’t speaking out against it because it’s happening to the people they don’t like.

    2. Joshua Valentine nah, local politicians have neutered the police, set violent criminals free and encourage violence – so glad to see the feds come in and restore law and order.

    3. wheres the governor and mayor? funny how when times get rough where are they? they should go out on the street and deal with them.

    4. Reed Outhouse No they haven’t. The police need to be defunded and have their qualified immunity stripped. Nothing has happened to them that needs to happen to them.

    5. Tham Nguyen because that’s idiotic? They need to be where they are, reading briefings and making legal changes.
