For months, right-wing agitators with millions of followers have peddled the idea that a moment was coming soon when violence would become necessary — a patriotic duty — to save the republic.

With the FBI search Monday of Donald Trump’s compound in Florida, that moment is now, according to enraged commentators’ all-caps, exclamation-pointed screeds urging supporters of the former president to take up arms. Within hours of the search at Mar-a-Lago, a chorus of Republican lawmakers, conservative talk-show hosts, anti-government provocateurs and pro-Trump conspiracy theorists began issuing explicit or thinly veiled calls for violence.

Extremism researcher Caroline Orr Bueno compiled a collage of dozens of screenshots of tweets calling for violence in response to the search, or “raid” in the parlance of Trump supporters. “I already bought my ammo,” one person boasted in the sampling. “Civil war! Pick up arms, people!” ordered another.

“If this line of thought continues, I suspect we’ll see more far-right chatter about federal government buildings or people being legitimate targets,” warned Casey Cox, a political scientist at Texas A&M University who studies domestic terrorism.

Washington comPost screed about "extreme rhetoric" "ratcheting towards violence" "becoming more 'mainstream.'"

Remember, violence is not the answer. Dems want violence to distract from their failed policies and to justify more laws and crackdowns. Don't give in or fall for it. Vote this November.

One of my two thoughts is this staged siege organized by puppet masters to gain more sympathy for DJT not only among his loyal supporters but also among those who undecided yet.
Just to ensure his victory in ‘24.
Pendulum swings right. I guess Ray Epps is gonna be back in business quickly.
Don’t even ask me what’s my another thought.

You guys don't have anything to worry about if you have done your taxes right.

Pablo usually agree with you but have to say that statement is totally off base. Trump said this or thatvon aphone call, in a speech, uet they tries to impeach again. This a typical tryanny show me the man and ill show you the crime.
You can be perfect, fill your taxes with honesty and if tou look hard enough find something. No matter what you do with a bloated tax code they can find something if they want to.

I was being completely sardonic.

Those same SOB's who say......."well if you have not done anything wrong, why worry???" That's horse shit.

And yes most of the tax code is NOT binary. Exact situation, 5 pros run the tax numbers..........maybe 2 of the five will be close to similar numbers.

Ohio state troopers and the FBI are pursuing a man who allegedly tried to break into the FBI's Cincinnati office on Thursday.

Ohio State Highway Patrol followed the suspect, who was driving a white Ford Crown Victoria, to Clinton County, where shots have been fired, according to officials.

The suspect, who officials said is armed with a rifle and wearing body armor, has been contained in a corn field off Interstate 71 near Wilmington, according to Clinton County Emergency Management. The suspect appears to have a gunshot wound to his leg but remains mobile, according to a law enforcement source.
