It's just going to happen. At the most, they'll put out some psy-ops to Fox "News" to make the YeeHawdists think they're going to do one thing, then in the dead of night -- BOOM -- they'll strike. Don't sit here expecting that any of us will know when it is about to happen.
The sad thing is, we haven't blocked off access to the facility, and they're now bringing in children as human shields. When the whole place goes up in flames, it will once again be The Government that is to blame by these pin-headed morons, and just as with Waco, they won't be able to acknowledge their own role in the outcome.

What cowards! Is this what Republicans stand for? Is this family values?
I am telling you, people who think these people stand for any kind of American belief are the dumbest people on this planet.

(7,908 posts)bringing in children? I agree with you that, if true, that is a serious fuck-up of the first order to allow further ingress to the facility. The only egress from here on should be with firearms laid down and arms raised in (unconditional) surrender.

She said they were bringing in family to "support" them. I can't understand why our own NG isn't stopping them at the gates.
