This will only work if power is systematically devolved back to localities. To reduce fear, all decisions and power should be pushed as far down as reasonably possible, with federal government limited to funding and overall goals.
See research by John Bargh. Converted conservatives to liberals.

There’s a lot speculation, but no actual documentation of any of
1. Deputized corrections officers
2. J6 ers
3. Proud Boys
4. Oath Keepers
5. Bounty Hunters
6. Etc.
Anybody seen any contracts?
How are people actually paid?

Are limitations on habeas corpus coming due to a state of war?
Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
What is the actual legal predicate for suspension?

I don’t get it.
The Unabomber is widely considered to be loony.
Why is the Iranbomber not considered just as loony? Is the Iranbomber somehow more sane? How so? There doesn’t appear to be any empirical evidence of Iranbomber sanity.
I don’t get it.

Two legal questions:
1. Who has burden of proof?
Is it innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent?
2. Legally, what is supposed to happen in the meantime, either way?

Reduce it anyway.
Take it off the table to focus on middle class economic concerns.

The increase in oil prices helps only Putin. Inflation will increase globally, including the U.S.
Not clear if there will be political consequences to higher inflation.

At first impression, it appears Netanyahu has now realized that he too, like Putin, can ignore Trump, with no penalty.

Kennedy had the New Frontier.
Reagan had American Exceptionalism.
Trump has MAGA.
This science budget is none of these.
More like the Know-Nothings.
Who actually wrote this budget?

So, haven’t heard practical details after Jan 2029:
1. Who will be responsible for costs?
2. Will Air Force pilots continue to fly the plane?
3. What will call sign be?
4. Will fighter escort continue?
5. Will Marine 1 and the Beast also be included in the package, to include C-130 prepositioning?

Wait till we see VCbots trade with VCbots
Stratbots develop strategy
Compliancebots sneak around regulations
Techbots evaluate technology
Scalebots scale business
Finbots manage money
Dev bots develop bots
Botbots manage the (bot) hired help
Only the actual capitalists with capital will be needed

Lot of talk of a contractual relationship.

We’ve expended more time and effort trying to return people from North Korea.
Do we truly have worse relations with El Salvador than with North Korea?

It will be interesting to see how slowly something can be facilitated.
In the normal scheme of things, enough facilitation leads to effectuation.
Not here. Every nook and microscopic cranny of possibilities will be facilitated. None of these will actually move any closer to effectuation.

Is there any statutory or regulatory basis to prohibit ideas? If so, a reference and a constitutional justification are sorely needed.
How exactly would the prohibition of ideas be done?

This will be unmitigated national security disaster.
No way to lean forward with 90,000 fewer troops. In addition, would never be able to rotate troops if needed, as there would no one available to rotate in. Army Reserve is just not that big. National Guard would take too long to train.

Reminds me of the famous aphorism,
Don’t tax me,
Don’t tax you,
Tax the man behind that tree!
A form of magical thinking.
Which continues, as ever.

Need some propaganda scholars also, to explain why impending economic slavery is being touted as liberation.
Defunded education system has produced low-information and low-skilled population that can only respond with sociological accommodation.
Hardly liberating!

Yes.
And also a human check.

The same logic underlying all the Terminator / Skynet movies.

Defunding education has resulted in a population that largely
1. Can’t read above 5th grade level
2. Doesn’t have the attention span to actually read a whole book
3. Doesn’t think reading is a normal everyday activity

Attempt to embarrass Walz.
But, don’t write Lindell off.
Point is to get 25% to 30% of the vote, to establish a baseline for future radicalization of low-information low-propensity voters.
This is part of a long game.
