http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/01/07/3737011/bundy-trump-chair/This Wednesday, April 16, 2014 photo shows Jerry DeLemus, of Rochester, N.H., talks, about heading a group of self-described militia members who have been camping on rancher Cliven Bundys ranch near Bunkerville, Nev.
The co-chairman of Donald Trumps New Hampshire Veterans for Trump group has arrived in Burns, Oregon, to assist the small cadre of armed men who are seeking to provoke a standoff with federal officials there.
...
Trump himself has said little about the situation in Oregon, following the pattern of most of the GOP primary candidates. But on Tuesday he seemed to tell The Hill it was time for the Bundy crew to pack it in and go home. You have to maintain law and order, no matter what, he said.

Going to Extremes: The anti-government extremism behind the growing movement to seize Americas public lands
Center for Western Priorities reveals the extremist origins and foundations of the movement to seize American lands, many of which have not been brought to light before. We describe how public lands issues attract extremists, including members of organizations like the Militia of Montana and the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association.

There's been....a few comments posted on that thread since I was last there. But if you care to scroll through the trolls and the snark...have it it.

(23,156 posts)flock together. Trump nor his supporters have any class, it's all about them and what they and people like them can get/steal from the government and screw everyone else. In this case they are having a temper tantrum because someone got caught burning government land and is being punished. Don't you know they should just give the jerk land that belongs to everyone?

(5,376 posts)I'm sick of sharing space with these idiotic "furriners" who I'm sure don't give a damn about Oregon, much less know our history and the hard-fought battles we've engaged in to preserve our scenic treasures and environment. For awhile they've been good for a laugh or two, but my sense of humor is starting to fade.
Remember Oregon's state motto: She Flies With Her Own Wings. Maybe the birds occupying the Malheur Refuge could fly over those idiots and leave a few deposits on them. That's something I'd like to see!
Peace.

(53,339 posts)(But he's also seeking to be appointed a mediator by authorities. ) The Oregonian reported today (Sunday):
DeLemus said in an interview he has been to the refuge once to talk to Bundy and will continue efforts "to get him to pack his bags."
He said he approached the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Burns as recently as Saturday to offer to be a mediator. "I think I can get this resolved," he said, but the FBI so far hasn't accepted his offer.
"I'm really upset that I haven't heard back from them," DeLemus said.
