And given “MAGA” voters seem so blissfully unconcerned about, even thrilled by, the existence of our new secret police, the logical assumption then is “MAGA” are those secret police.

It’s a potshot at Juneteenth, of course.
Trump’s enslaved persons would not have gotten even Sundays off.

Absolutely. I also have to say that your “re-imagined” Natasha Rostova there starring in that first person version might bring in a whole new readership for the “re-imagined” story.😂

Is this Cruz coming up with a “cool” response that he was not fast enough to think of at the time? It’s like when any of us get caught out in an argument and only think of the “comeback” a day or so after. By that time, we all also know it’s way too late.

Because the point is to be just like Belarus… minus the uniforms…

So the pattern is being set. Anyone, including major opposition politicians, who in any way finds oneself “physical” in a situation in which an “officer” shows no ID/warrant, will be taken into custody and charged with “assault”/ “impeding a federal officer.” This is Putinist Russia stuff.

Or, as James Bond would have put it, “He’s quite mad, you know.”

Clearly unbelievably pissed off and incredibly embarrassed that his Mussolini-attempt to hijack the army’s 250th anniversary and make it about his birthday turned out to be a f-cking dud.

#5amWritersClub While my friends were all reading Tolkien, “Mohicans” was the first truly “grown up” fiction book I read that was not assigned by school. I was 14.
I will never forget my (now late) mom seeing me with a school library copy… and warning me the ending might not be what I might expect.

CNN needs a new “security correspondent” then.
The moment he identified himself, they should have let go and apologized: “So sorry, sir, we didn’t recognize you.”
As a senator, he was within his rights even to get an inch from her face. Only him touching her could have justified manhandling him.

As it turned out, it wasn’t much of a “spectacle.” In that, our army did us proud. They turned up as ordered by the felon, but Red Square it was not. It seemed much more “county fair.”
In 1775, the Continentals knew nothing about parades.
250 years on, US soldiers still are not big on parades.
