Before we move past this, I think it's important to state up front that I am not interested in participating in any calls for illegal or clandestine action, or any other form of agitation that might lead otherwise well meaning participants in this thread to make statements or possibly even take actions that have them accused of incitement of riot or rebellion.
Whether trolling, working for somebody, or you actually think that you have good intentions, this sort of thing can have serious, lasting consequences. Please consider use of such language carefully in the future. I don't mean to be a diva, but this is serious stuff. Careful now.
The time? The place? For rebellion? That is not my call to make. There are serious pros and cons to either side of that argument. Regardless, the people will decide that, in whatever groups they choose to organize amongst themselves, here in this country where the organization of such groups is so firmly enshrined in the earliest founding documents, that the language reads 'shall not be infringed'.
I think we should all be thankful that not enough people have decided that 'now is the time' before now. On the other hand, a well organized group that executed carefully might be able to solve a lot of America's problems in short order, with no or minimal loss of life. More likely I'd guess that sort of activity would be a bad thing for our country right about now. Either way, it's not my call to make. The people will do as they choose to do. Let's hope they do it right, if it ever comes to that.
This sort of musing brings to mind the Trump quote of 'Proud Boys stand back, and stand by.' I think that was what he said. That was certainly not a call to action. Stand back. Stated in regards to the most high profile militia organization in the US. As far as 'making the call' from the top of the MAGA camp, perhaps that was it. Clearly, publicly stated.
I'm also reminded of the part of the Decleration of Independence where it says: "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."
I don't know about you, but I'm not so inclined to run out there with my rifle, climb to the top of the Washington Monument, beat my chest and scream '(insert agitative comment here)!!!' at the top of my lungs at present. I'd suggest jokingly that you go ahead and see how well that turns out for you, but, well, you know...
Anyhow, noted. Accepted, and so we move on.

I'm seeing it is the symbol for atheism.
Seems like someone did some borrowing.

Then it is the perfect symbol for them. It is Satan's tail. Well perhaps if you look closely you can see what is the typical presentation of Lucifer/Satan/The fallen one's tail. Atheist only think they don't believe in a God/Devil dichotomy until they are in a fox hole with bullets zipping by them. The triangle with a Star trek looking "A" would fit nicely into the sculptures and drawings of the Fallen Angel Lucifer.

Tell me why they are confiscating framed pictures of TIME magazine? Are those not personal property that have NOTHING to do with classified info?

Exactly ! That pic looks staged and as Caled pointed out, what are the odds of featuring a Time cover of “evil” right outside Trump’s window (home) ? So what are the implications of these photos of “evidence” being released ? It could be seen as an indicator that some sort of “plan” is in play OR some sort of nasty little cabal troll. Either way it doesn’t sit well me.
