Trump: “BRING IN THE TROOPS!!!”

submitted 7 hours ago • 259 comments

One other thing about ignoring Trump's parade: It's a way of shunning your MAGA neighbors who want you to freak out over it. They crave that anger from you, that emotional engagement, because all fanatics (in the words of Le Carre) harbor secret doubts. Don't take that bait.

The “shall not be infringed” crowd sure seems to struggle with the rest of the constitution.

I spent two years warning everyone I could that this was what MAGA was planning under Trump 2.0 but humans just aren’t wired to believe shit like this is possible.

This is all a pretext. Everything they do is in furtherance of their authoritarian agenda.

Feels like a uniquely American brand of stupidity to try and mobilize troops for the battle of Home Depot

I guess no one’s ever going to learn the lesson that rioting in the streets almost always benefits the right wing in American politics. Save me your speeches about Watts. It’s been almost a perfect record since 1968.

For those of us who’ve spend the last 6 months discussing how the Trump would use deportations to create chaos is the Blue states and then use that chaos as an excuse to declare a national emergency and seize total power, things are right on schedule.

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

For journalists and assorted nerds who have followed the 4+ year saga of the claim that Denver-based Dominion Voting systems rigged the 2020 election, this was the long-awaited moment. An answer, under oath:

"The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee...Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said."

Bringing Abrego Garcia back to face charges is the trump regime’s way to save face and avoid embarrassing discovery in court - including maybe having to disclose their agreement with Bukele. IMO.

You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out. Listen w/an open mind—and heart.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

I am so glad "why tariff banana" thought is reaching members of Congress. It's the most obvious example of how insane this administration's trade policy has been—officials like Lutnick can't give a good justification for it because there simply isn't one
