#5 EO 13224 allows POTUS designation of foreign terror groups. This is because the Constitution allows POTUS broad authority in foreign relations.

It is not likely that designation of domestic terror groups is constitutional without a Congressional action authorizing it. This situation should have been rectified during Trump's administration but it wasn't.

#6 #2 is correct, in England.

In the US, a shunt is a temporary electrical connection, for testing. One 'shunts' between the two rails to verify the signals work.

If one were to leave a shunt in place, the grade crossing gates would stay down (irritating) but the train signals would stay red until the shunt was removed.

#7 On a now-deleted LinkedIn page, Reiche was previously employed as a Deputy Field Organizer for Washington State Democrats.

Still working for the Democrats -- just shifted over from part-time, political wing to full-time paramilitary wing

#8 alleged terrorists, do the terrorists have a name, or some kind of demands? Environmental demands for example?

#9 Bumper sticker on perp's car shows a map of USA and slogan "STOLEN LAND"

So I guess the demand is ... reparations to natives? Shut down the entire USA and deport non-natives to countries of historical origin?

#10 #9 EC1560, "countries of historical origin": What about mutts like me?

I can prove ancestry in Germany, Austria, Moravia, Holland, England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Of course, I can also prove a tiny bit of American Indian (I won't call them Native Americans; I was born in America and that makes me a Native American. ;-)

#11 Heavy.com has an article about the two ladies and their arrest, which I’ve added to the bottom of Bobby’s article for easy future reference. They write that there have been 41 shunt incidents in that area in the first eleven months of 2020, adding:

Shortly after the first shunts were discovered in January, “a claim of responsibility was published on an anarchist website,” the release says. The complaint names that website as itsgoingdown.org.

“This claim of responsibility stated that the shunting activity was carried out in solidarity with Native American tribes in Canada seeking to prevent the construction of an oil pipeline across British Columbia, and with the express goal of disrupting BNSF operations and supplies for the pipeline,” says the complaint.
