They weren't being threatened.  The protesters were the ones being threatened.

And here's the gate, in perfect condition when the protesters went through.

Oh yeah, that mean couple just walked out of their house and threatened those nice young people innocently walking by their house.
     

The stupid **** lies wackjobs tell, geez.

There's an audiotape of them threatening the couple's lives that's been played on Fox and elsewhere, wackjob.

Link?

Clem's favorite source, Gatewaypundit, posted an article based on a Tweet by a QAnon supporter.

Gateway has been correct about almost everything on almost every topic, wackjob.
 

They posted an article based on a Tweet by a QAnon conspiracy freak and Trump re-Tweeted that same Tweet to his millions of Twitter followers, and that's why Twitter removed it.
How nice that we have a president who Tweets lies and **** conspiracy theories to his 85.6 million Twitter followers.
 

Trump offered FBI director job to John Kelly, asked for loyalty.

The day after President Trump fired FBI boss James Comey, the president phoned John Kelly, who was then secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, and offered him Comey's job, the New York Times' Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Michael Schmidt reports in his forthcoming book, "Donald Trump v. The United States."
 
Driving the news: "But the president added something else — if he became FBI director, Trump told him, Kelly needed to be loyal to him, and only him."

• "Kelly immediately realized the problem with Trump's request for loyalty, and he pushed back on the president's demand," Schmidt writes.
• "Kelly said that he would be loyal to the Constitution and the rule of law, but he refused to pledge his loyalty to Trump."

Why it matters: This previously unreported conversation sheds additional light on the president's mindset when he fired Comey. Special counsel Robert Mueller never learned of this information because the president's lawyers limited the scope of his team's two-hour interview with Kelly.

• "In addition to illustrating how Trump viewed the role and independence of senior officials who work for him, the president's demand for loyalty tracked with Comey's experience with Trump," Schmidt writes.

Behind the scenes: Schmidt reports that "throughout Kelly's time working directly with Trump, Kelly was repeatedly struck by how Trump failed to understand how those who worked for him — like Kelly and other top former generals — had interest in being loyal not to him, but to the institutions of American democracy."

• "Kelly has told others that Trump wanted to behave like an authoritarian and repeatedly had to be restrained and told what he could and could not legally do."
• "Aside from questions of the law, Kelly has told others that one of the most difficult tasks he faced with Trump was trying to stop him from pulling out of NATO — a move that Trump has repeatedly threatened but never made good on, which would have been a seismic breach of American alliances and an extraordinary gift to Putin."

Quote of the book: "Kelly has said that having to say no to Trump was like 'French kissing a chainsaw.'"

Another revelation: Schmidt reports that Mueller's prosecutors made near real-time requests to McGahn's lawyer, Bill Burck, to find out what the president was telling the White House counsel in their private conversations.

• In a summary of the reporting, Schmidt tells me, "This was a highly invasive tactic. Mueller's team wanted to know whether Trump had a role in the firing of the acting FBI director Andrew McCabe and whether Trump was saying anything about prosecuting Comey."
• "Trump was indeed discussing prosecuting Clinton and Comey, and McGahn had written a memo to Trump detailing why he should not be pressing the Justice Department for such a prosecution."

My thought bubble: This kind of activity from Mueller's team was far more invasive, in terms of information-gathering from the president's inner circle, than any investigating that happened on the 2016 campaign.

Those two are loons, and yes, they did.  Read up on them.

They have a long history of suing people, especially their neighbors, and a nasty habit of pointing guns at people.
They once challenged a neighbor at gun point to stay off a piece of property they claim belongs to them.
They are suing over that piece of property.
The defendants in the case are the trustees of Portland Place, who say a triangle of land that the McCloskeys claim as their own actually belongs to the neighborhood.
 
They seem to think that the sidewalks and the streets belong to them too.

So you think the Trump supporters formed that caravan so they could go into Portland and peacefully protest?
And they just happened to have paintball guns and pepper spray in their trucks?

YES they had all intentions of peacefully protest... why do liberals get to protest but try to stop conservatives?

Yes, these are people who were only there to peacefully protest.

Wow, that's terrible. No president in US history has ever asked for political loyalty from his FBI Director.
Except every single one of them.

What a crock of ****.
An FBI director is supposed to be loyal to the Constitution and the rule of law, not to the president.
Most presidents know that, and would never ask for an FBI director to pledge their loyalty to them.
And both Comey and Kelly knew that, which is why they refused to pledge their loyalty to Trump.
Why do you think they are appointed to a 10 year term?

Why do you continue to lie for that piece of **** in the WH?
Don't you have any **** shame?

I wonder if Morgan is on Epstein's flight log?

That's not Morgan Freeman the actor.
Morgan J. Freeman is a director.

I only know that because I have seen his name on the credits for Teen Mom on MTV.
Yes. I watch Teen Mom.
Don't judge me.

I don't know.
Maybe they don't like it when people in trucks try to run them down.

The dishonest shrieking of a literal psychopath. Every president expects political loyalty.

You didn't answer my question Precious.
Why is an FBI director appointed to a 10 year term?
I know you won't answer, so I'll answer it for you.

When recommending enactment of the ten-year term, the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote a comprehensive report of its rationale, including:

The purpose of this bill is to achieve two complementary objectives. The first is to insulate the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from undue pressure being exerted upon him from superiors in the Executive Branch.

The second is to protect against an FBI Director becoming too independent and unresponsive.

As Chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee overseeing the FBI, Senator Robert Byrd said during a hearing on the ten-year term legislation that the FBI director must not use the Bureau as “a political action agency for the President,” but cannot be allowed to turn the Bureau into a personal “empire.”

The Senate Judiciary Committee was clear that “the Director’s responsibilities” are and must be “non-political.”
