    Creeping Fascism: DOJ calls NYC/Portland/Seattle Anarchist Jurisdictions

    Some people warned us that 2016 was a referendum on fascism.

    An ongoing attempt to withhold federal funds and deploy more unmarked goons.

    Justice Dept. deems New York City, Portland and Seattle 'anarchist jurisdictions'

    The Department of Justice on Monday released a list of cities it has deemed "anarchist jurisdictions" under President Donald Trump's instructions earlier this month to review federal funding to state and local governments where violence or vandalism has taken place during protests.

    That memo directed Attorney General William Barr, in consultation with Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought and acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, to identify jurisdictions "that have permitted violence and the destruction of property to persist and have refused to undertake reasonable measures to counteract these criminal activities (anarchist jurisdictions)."

    On Monday, the Justice Department labeled New York City, Portland and Seattle such areas, though the department said it was still working to identify other jurisdictions that meet criteria outlined in Trump's memo.

    "We cannot allow federal tax dollars to be wasted when the safety of the citizenry hangs in the balance," Barr said. "It is my hope that the cities identified by the Department of Justice today will reverse course and become serious about performing the basic function of government and start protecting their own citizens."


    What does the next four years of this look like if there are no more electoral consequences?

    Seems like those places shouldn't have to pay federal taxes then. Fair is fair, if we don't want to spend federal funding on services to those communities, then their residents should pay their federal taxes directly to the city.

    That’s kinda the problem for Trump... I’m no corporate fan or anything, but NYC is the symbol of capitalism through wallstreet. Seattle is Amazon headquarters... Trump sure these are Anarchist strong holds, that he wants to challenge on taxes? is he sure?

    I don’t get stalkers... they ignore me... I try to give them ear worms... lol

    The media itself is helping driving the discourse and only showing the violence with no real reporting on the ground.
    Well, there is an entire party running on US being attacked by Antifa. It’s not like this is new tact for Trump and it is responsible for the escalation.

    You know what really cracks me up while also pissing me off? The fact that they misspelled combating in the title of that asinine piece of legislation that tramples upon civil liberties and democracy.

    Wow these Republicans are really losing it...

    Wouldn't this also apply to a Pro trump rally or White nationalist gathering where people are injured?

    I wonder how long this legislation will stand once someone drives into a group of Proud Boys and claims self defense because they were all armed...
