The president’s Scottish golf course was targeted by activists.

Summary

Donald Trump condemned a vandalism attack at his Scottish golf course by activists, calling the perpetrators “terrorists” and demanding they be “treated harshly.”

The March 8 incident at Trump Turnberry included red paint, anti-Trump graffiti, and messages like “Gaza is not 4 sale.”

Police charged a 33-year-old man and arrested two others. Palestine Action claimed responsibility, citing U.S. complicity in Gaza’s destruction.

Activists criticized the leaders for focusing on property damage while Gaza faces ongoing bombardment.

    oh, so everything a leftist does is terrorism now, but when right wingers break into the capital building by force its “freedom of speech”

      Using the label “terrorism” does two things for Telsa dealerships and Trump properties:

      1. They impose unreasonably harsh penalties for the crimes.
      2. Any damages are paid for by … taxpayers.

        People charged as terrorists don’t have the same right to counsel or speech a as any other criminal defendant. It’s pretty fucked.

        It’s my understanding that most insurance doesn’t cover “acts of terror.” So wouldn’t this mean Herr Trump and Musk will need to cover these costs out of pocket, based on their own words?

          They will need to cover these costs out of our pockets. Remember, they’ve backdoored the treasury department. This is one of the fun things they’ll probably use that for.

          Trump ignores the Constitution, what makes you think he cares (or even knows) what’s in the terms and conditions of his insurance contract?

      Yes, always has been. That’s partly why the FBI got MLK 360 no-scoped while the KKK are special little boys who get no consequences ever.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Yes? I mean its not a hard concept. You are a terrorist for diagreeing with the god emperor. The only way back is to do 5 Hail Trumps, 3 Trump Prayers, and 1 apology to Elon Musk.
