Attorney General Pam Bondi asserted Antifa was “no different” from the MS-13 drugs gang, citing the experiences of MAGA influencers to support her claims.

She accused Antifa of being responsible for the “chaos” in Portland and other cities, where crowds have protested the deployment of federal agents. “They’re at all of these events, they’re encouraging violence, they’re calling everyone fascist, but it’s more than that. It’s hurting the American people. They’re no different than MS-13 or any gang out there.”

She added: “Talk to all the influencers who have been threatened and beat up and their lives threatened from Antifa members. It’s going to stop under Donald Trump.”

Fascists really don't like people who fight fascists.

I'm right here, Pam. I'm antifa. Come at me.

We are all antifa on this glorious day.

If you’re not antifa, then you’re fa.

They’re no different than MS-13 or any gang out there.

So MS-13 would have won against Nazi Germany in WW2?

Hello, I’m an antifa domestic terrorist and I’m in opposition to this regime. My username here is also my legal name.

Come on, Pam, come fuck up a stroke-addled disabled trans woman who doesn’t have the strength to lift a gun!

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 31 points 11 months ago

Cassian Andor: Well, we'll find a place they haven't ruined yet. Maarva Andor: I'm already there. That place is in my head. They can build as many barracks as they like, they'll never find me.

Woah woah woah, that is WAY too pornographic of a situation for the fascists. That's the stuff that gives them wet dreams.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

woman who doesn’t have the strength to lift a gun!

Oh I think we can mcgyver something up real quick, don't let your dreams be dreams, get armed, stay armed and resist disarmament with violent force if necessary. It's the American was after all.

1930s: Jews, Poles, communists, trade unionists, homosexuals, the mentally ill

2020s: Antifa, immigrants, leftists, LGBTQ, the disabled

I'm so close to getting a BINGO with that last list!

Who is Antifa murdering these days? Human trafficking? Drugs? Bombings? wtf is this govt even talking about?

[-] frmrm@peachpie.theatl.social 47 points 11 months ago

All this over inflatable costumes and naked bikers? I mean…. Tell me you’re worried without telling me you’re worried. 🙄

[-] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago

Pam Bondi is protecting paedophiles. You can also check some MAGA influencers to back that up too...

Lock HER up!

Asking MAGA influencers if Antifa is the same as MS-13 is like asking Mengele if its safe to take a shower.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 28 points 11 months ago

FWIW, I would consider checking with MAGA influencers to see what I should think. Pretty simple, see what they are thinking, and go with whatever pisses them off, or is 180 degrees off from what they suggest.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 23 points 11 months ago

The Democrats should come out and label MAGA as a terrorist organisation. It'd be more accurate.

[-] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 26 points 11 months ago

They did that them selves, remember?

[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 7 points 11 months ago

Yeah but they were just kidding and pwning the libs... can't you take a joke brah?

If antifa is the one responsible for the chaos in portland, she must think portland police and ICE are "antifa."

[-] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

Seriously. Portland was just chilling, enjoying pumpkin spice and the return of rainy days--- then suddenly a bunch of violent fascists scumbags showed up.

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Yet they are ignoring the hundreds of murders by right wing fascists over the years since it doesn't fit their agenda.

This administration is so embarrassing. I can't wait to see them in prison.

[-] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Lmao I literally rode my bike right through South Waterfront today, here in Portland. Ain't no war zone, ain't no chaos or whatever flavor of the day they choose. Bondi and Noem and the rest are just doing what the right always does, egging the public on and saying whatever they want to be true enough times until eventually they find barely enough to cling to as leverage

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago

I've got a counter point for the primeval slag creature known as Pam Bondi. Kill yourself, do it on live TV just put a .38 special through thine insipid skull, it'd be funny.

So the Homeland security boss wants us to take cues from, checks notes Youtubers and TikTokers who checks again have been paid and sponsored by the government or Russia, am I right?

OK. I'll check with Youtubers. Mo1stCritikal will be my first.

Obvious distraction with no supporting evidence is obvious

Publish the jobs report

Publish the Epstein data and arrest the pedophiles who raped those kids

Stop untrained, violent federal agents from hiding their identity and deporting kids with stage 4 cancer
