Current Events > FBI: Armed group 'planning huge uprising' in DC if Trump removed via 25th

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/dc-uprising-armed-trump-25th-amendment-b1785617.html

The FBI believes an armed group is planning a huge uprising in Washington DC if Donald Trump is removed by the 25th amendment, according to a report.

Investigators have been told that if "Congress attempts to remove POTUS via the 25th Amendment a huge uprising will occur," says an FBI daily bulletin obtained by ABC News.

The FBI has also received information that pro-Trump extremists are also calling for the storming of state, federal and local government buildings and courthouses of the president is removed before Joe Bidens inauguration.

"Armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols from 16 January through at least 20 January, and at the US Capitol from 17 January through 20 January," the bulletin reportedly states.

The news came as the US House of Representatives introduced articles of impeachment against Donald Trump following a pro-Trump insurrection at the Capitol on 6 January.

House Republicans blocked a measure calling on Mike Pence and the Trump cabinet to remove the president by invoking the 25th Amendment, delaying consideration until Tuesday.

House majority leader Steny Hoyer says that the House could vote on the impeachment articles as early as Wednesday, and immediately sending them to the Senate, reports CNN.

The National Parks Service says they have suspended tours of the Washington Monument until 24 January after receiving credible threats following last weeks riot.

The NPS says that the groups behind the mayhem have continued to threaten DC and the set-up for Joe Bidens 20 January inauguration ceremony.

The temporary closures are not of nature, magnitude or duration that will result in a 'significant alteration in the public use pattern,' said Jeffrey P. Reinbold, superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks, in a statement.

The closures will not adversely affect the parks natural aesthetic or cultural values.

More than 6,000 National Guard Troops from six states were sent to DC following the riot, with many in place around the Capitol Complex on Monday.

And the day after the violence a non-scalable 7ft fence was installed and will remain in place until after the inauguration.

The military presence will increase to 10,000 National Guard troops by the weekend, according to senior military officials.

And that number could expand to around 15,000 troops by inauguration day according to General Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau.

The final number of troops will be decided by the support needs of federal agencies, he said.

National Guard troops will bring their weapons to Washington DC and will carry them only after discussions with the FBI, local police and other federal agencies.

Obviously, were very concerned that we want our individuals to have the right to self-defense, he said during a call with media organisations.

And so, that will be an ongoing conversation, and if the senior leadership determines that thats the right posture to be in, then that is something that we will do.

Let's just acknowledge that:

-There will be right wing violence if Biden is sworn in
-There will be right wing violence if Trump is impeached
-There will be right wing violence if Trump is removed via 25th
-There will be right wing violence if Trump resigns

Basically, there will be right wing violence.

---

I'd say do it and take them down.

---

Terrorists

---

yeah at this point just announce you're gonna shoot to kill. That will put a quick stop to it

---

I guess they're pretty much giving no choice but to cull them. >_>

---

Just take them out honestly

Acting President Pence wont hesitate to go all "Kent State" on a rowdy crowd.

Trumpers are stupid enough to do the same damn thing again XD hopefully this time these subhuman scum are treated accordingly.

The problem is that Trumpers are so delusional and in such denial that they will continue to say it was actually Antifa and not Trump supporters.

Doesn't say anything about impeachment, so we're good

That's a pretty poor (and arguably offensive) comparison considering every person involved in that, including the 4 people who died and the others who were injured, were unarmed.

Interestingly enough, if these people end up wiped out as a result of this, those same Trumpers who didn't attend would have cause to celebrate then.

But they wouldn't celebrate it cuz they know it's bullshit >_>

Actually a lot of these people didn't take too kindly to Gaetz trying to push the Antifa theory because in their mind what they did was good and patriotic and Antifa is, well, not.

Pence: "It's over Q Anon! I have the high ground now!"

Q/Trumpers: "You underestimate my POWER!"

Pence: "Don't try it."

DC should be under martial law until weeks after the inauguration honestly.

Well... if the riot isn't as, uh, riotous as expected, may as well get some cheesecake.

Oh boy I wonder if this will work out well for the terrorists or not...........

America's going to be living with Trump's legacy for some years to come. Even if Trump steps down and leaves the stage for good, the ugly disease of Trumpism will infect the body politic like gangrene.

---

literally using the threat of violence for political aims.
---

So can news pundits have a real discussion about white domestic terrorism now? Because this isn't "economic anxiety". We have a President stoking these fires with a Republican party also contributing to the batshit craziness.

Five years ago people would clutch their pearls if you said white supremacy

---

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

---

Let them do it. Then the military will destroy/ arrest them.

---

Hmm...what do you call it when an armed group uses the fear of violence to influence political action?

---

The fact they know something is in the planning stages they should act now tbh.

---

But liberals cried and yelled at the sky when Trump won! It's the same thing!

But guys, unity

"Yall SEE?! Now them librul democrat extremists have declared OPEN SEASON on us! We r under ATTACK if this isnt the WAKE UP call yall need ah dont no what is! FIGHT 4 FREEEEEDUMB!!!"

Is the problem with that. You're not wrong, but these lunatics now see any measures put in place to prevent, yknow, MURDER and assassinations as "proof" that their "rights" and party are under attack and (in their sick simple minds) validates their paranoia and delusion.
It's too late, these "people" are too far gone and completely beyond reasoning with. Buy guns and gold and buckle the fuck up I'm sorry to say.

Uh does that armed group know that it's time to heal???

Suuuure. Astonishing how known, pro-Trump activists who've been identified among the crowd inside the Capitol suddenly turned out to be "really" moles who were working with Antifa all along... Makes you wonder, who can paranoid Trumpers trust in these treacherous times?!

"There is video of the vans... The footage isn't clear enough to prove anything, but that's all the proof I need to know for sure!" It's like a mass psychosis. These are the people whom you know would have been hanging witches at Salem and blacks in Alabama on the strength of whispers, rumours and lies.

---

What was it about "they needed to let them in to avoid any potential bloodshed" or something like that?

I wonder how those enablers will look at this when it happens

So was Bobbit an actor?

Hopefully the military will put them down like the animals they are and make them taste their boots after that.

Bring on the National Guard and wipe these terrorists out
