Trump: "Sick, Dangerous Antifa" to be Designated a "Major Terrorist Organization"

Good.

I think.

Oh and, sorry, actually he said designate:

ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION

Even when he's right--as I think he almost has to be here--he's gotta say it in a way that makes him sound crazy... Consider how much more effective this would be if announced through normal channels (rather than via a goddamned tweet), without the loony ALL CAPS...

   Look, this is basically our current predicament. The left's lost its damn mind, Trump was/is our only real alternative, he's doing a pretty good job trying to de-crazify the country...but...he just can't throttle back. he just can't get the message out there in a sane and sober way.

   Of course the actual content and initiatives are more important than the rhetoric...but the rhetoric is very, very important...

   So why do I qualify my judgment that this is good with "I think"? Well, I'm not sure what counts, legally, as a terrorist organization. Like most other sane people, I casually refer to it as terrorist--but if this is going to be a legal designation, obviously we've got to be more careful. For example: maybe Antifa is more like a criminal network. Perhaps RICO is the right vector of attack. I just don't know. I'll wait to hear from Andy McCarthy on this one.

   But, niceties to the side: good.
