Strangely enough, the Posse Comitatus crowd....

..the black helicopter crowd, the Cliven Bundy types, are quite silent about Trump threatening to use the U.S. military in the streets of America. And literally using military helicopters over D.C.

It's almost like they're...what's the word? Oh yeah, hypocritical assholes.


The NYT describing a scene in Washington DC:

"Later in the evening, an Army Black Hawk helicopter descended to rooftop level in the city’s Chinatown district, kicking up dirt and debris and snapping trees that narrowly missed several people.

Military helicopters also performed a “show of force” maneuver that is often used in combat zones to scare away insurgents. The crowd quickly dispersed into surrounding blocks. Minutes later, the Black Hawk returned for another pass."
