Trump issues memo to cut funding to states that don't let him send in his stormtroopers.

Interesting definition of "anarchic states" there.

Memorandum on Reviewing Funding to State and Local Government Recipients That Are Permitting Anarchy, Violence, and Destruction in American Cities | The White House

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET SUBJECT: Reviewing Funding to State and Local Government Recipients

www.whitehouse.gov

(b) In identifying anarchist jurisdictions, the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of OMB, shall consider, as appropriate:


(i) whether a jurisdiction forbids the police force from intervening to restore order amid widespread or sustained violence or destruction;


(ii) whether a jurisdiction has withdrawn law enforcement protection from a geographical area or structure that law enforcement officers are lawfully entitled to access but have been officially prevented from accessing or permitted to access only in exceptional circumstances, except when law enforcement officers are briefly withheld as a tactical decision intended to resolve safely and expeditiously a specific and ongoing unlawful incident posing an imminent threat to the safety of individuals or law enforcement officers;


(iii) whether a jurisdiction disempowers or defunds police departments;


(iv) whether a jurisdiction unreasonably refuses to accept offers of law enforcement assistance from the Federal Government; and


(v) any other related factors the Attorney General deems appropriate.

So much for the States having their own jurisdiction over law enforcement matters.

I am sure this extortion racket won't hold up assuming he ever actually tries it, but he does love signalling how much he wants to be a dictator, doesn't he.

Anarchist state is whoever Barr says is an anarchist.

Gotta love the oxymoronic idea of anarchist jurisdictions.
You gotta have some organized and bureaucratic anarchists.

They used to be in military intelligence, or affiliated with rap music...
