A dramatic claim by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to have arrested the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa, therefore putting the Trump administration in position to eliminate the leftwing network, was dismissed by both the activist the arrested woman was said to have dated and a leading expert on such leftwing groups.
I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not now, nor have I ever been, the founder of Antifa in Portland [Oregon], the United States, or anywhere else, said Luis Enrique Marquez, the activist, in a statement on a website promoting a book.
Its an absurd claim, no matter how they try to frame it, Stanislav Vysotsky, an associate professor of criminology at the University of Fraser Valley in British Columbia, told Raw Story.
Nonetheless, Noems trumpeting of the arrest of Katherine Vogel, 39, showed the administrations determination to make headlines as it seeks to paint antifa activists as a danger to the American public, and Portland as the supposed base of such groups.

I've had my first laugh of the day, Ocelot II. Thank you. I got as far Occasionally knocking her down and it was too much. The vision was that hilarious in my mind.
I'm going to have to go pray to dog for forgiveness now.

(16,672 posts)And what is that supposed terrorist threat? The "core tenets of antifascism, the memorandum claims, include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality."
Trump and his fascist mob are trying to outlaw dissent, defining it as "terrorism."

Vogel was a contractor with the U.S. General Services Administration. As a result of her arrest she was found unsuitable and will no longer work for the agency, a spokesperson told Raw Story.

They can just accuse you, and fire you.
Honestly, I would be surprised in my security clearance (and job) survives this admin. They will go down the list and revoke clearances for Democrats... especially those with the nerve to express public dissent.

(2,965 posts)... which she's certain to be. Noem really stepped in it this time; destroying an innocent person's life and livelihood, all to get more face-time on Pox News for a charge that is a total fabrication. She has jumped the shark, BIG time. Her political future just went into the wood chipper. Even the scum on the Dark Side of the Aisle won't be able to save her from this one, and the corrupt SCOTUS' coronation of Trumpleforeskin doesn't extend to the likes of her.

My brother is MAGA. He said there is a new agreement with Jesus that doesn't require following his words, just declare that you believe and you can do whatever you want. They say they are already saved.

(63,556 posts)That's the problem with certain Christian denominations. "Once saved, always saved," according to some. Using their thought process, a person can spiritually get away with murder after swearing they have accepted Jesus into their hearts and worship him as Lord and Savior.

(11,344 posts)An organization like the Republican Party cannot imagine a situation in which there is not a well funded secret organization in the background, pulling all the strings, so they make one up called Antifa.
An organization like the Republican Party cannot imagine a situation in which there is not a billionaire or billionaires, in the background, funding events and paying protestors and social media bots, so they attack the most noted Jewish billionaire that aligns with the Democratic Party, Soros.
The Republican Party cannot imagine a situation in which anyone isn't lying, cheating, being unethical or just generally being a racist, misogynistic xeno-purist.
Their default position is one of hate and violence and lies.
