      armed protest groups, but trump wants an excuse to use more excessive force, left wing groups are not very keen in using weapons.

    How long until something really bad happens because the FBI is busy prosecuting Trump’s political rivals instead of doing their job?

    This is why we (europeans) should all fight more surveillance. Who knows when it’s our turn to face fascism.

      It doesn’t matter how much surveillance it is right now, if fascism comes, they will put out all that they need immediately

    I’m beginning to think the Constitution needs an amendment appendix that has definitions of terms, i.e. ‘peaceful protests’

      The problem with the Constitution is that it doesn’t have enough clauses for the executive branch to ignore.
