Guess that's something. Mussolini or Hitler would have just given the order to shoot. Not far from here to there, though, considering Trump aspires to those guys.
Once he gets his first kill they'll be no stopping him. It'll be pedal-to-the-metal, full-bore authoritarian dictatorship, Trump-style.

Nobody? Some of us were expecting it if he was re-elected.
Trump 1.0 was practice. A warm-up. Groundwork. 2.0 was always going to be the real deal. Trump fully intended to turn the US into an authoritarian dictatorship second time around.

They will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, promptly pardoned by the illegitimate president, and be back on the streets to kill again within hours ya mean, or ... ?

And there's me always saying I'd never go to America. Maybe I'll make an exception for California! Looks sweet. (When America gets rid of all them guns. Way to a make a person feel unsafe, already.) 🦘

Welcome to fucking America. How ignorant are the people in some of these states? It's the fucking 21stC, for Christ's sake!
Some of these yanks appear to be living in the Dark Ages. Or the Stone Age!

Do not stop telling your story. The world needs to hear. You are an eyewitness.

Yep. Provocation. The protesters should simply sit back quietly and record for history these losers rioting with their fancy gear and expensive war toys.
You don't take fully-automatic weapons that belong in a war to a peaceful protest. Or even a rowdy one. Unless you're intending to use them.

Also remember it's not their money, it's the American taxpayers'. The tanks, parade and tear gas were bought with their money.
Trump wants US citizens living in fear, uncertainty and doubt, as any dictator or strongman would. Textbook stuff.
Mussolini would be exclaiming "hurrah!" about now.

We hear you. The whole world knows it. Only ones who don't are lying to themselves or so ignorant they'd be hard pressed to walk and talk at the same time. 🦘

You used to feel like that about LA? The way a lot of us outside the country have felt about the US for years!

All part of the game. Exactly what the script says. Check history. Cruz is not being original. Not by any means.
All of this is, if not history repeating, history's loud echo.

This is outta the playbook. Pure propaganda. They've agitated to make it necessary to put marines on the streets by provocatively sending heavily armed ICE thugs into the community.
Create an excuse to get the national guard in armed with M15 fully-autos and declare martial law. Is this winning?

Sorry, you've lost me. Not connecting the two. Please elaborate. Perhaps not wilfully stupid, just stupid. 😜

You aren't accounting for the genuine ignorance of many Americans. Not making excuses, but many of them just didn't see this coming.
Many yanks think the Holocaust is a hoax and the world is flat, FFS. They have no clue the US has become an authoritarian regime coz they don't know what one is.

Not strange when you understand that the AFL is a corrupt boys' club, has been for years, and has no qualms whatsoever with blackmailing states and getting Aus taxpayers to fund what the AFL could easily afford to.
Read 'The Boys' Club' my Michael Warner. All you need to know about AFL corruption.

I can confirm that the world is watching. History is recording all of this, even as the US government tries to erase it and 'propaganda' it away.
History will remember this abomination and those who enacted it.

Read all about it. The laws aren't really 'vague'.

It is a stretch to continue to call it a police department. It is now officially a tool of repression used by an authoritarian government.

Good for Trey and his wife, but would you believe he 'rode' to the wedding? Yes, Trey rode his bike to the wedding, quite possibly using a road. Or the sidewalk. 😜

I chuck 'em straight in the garden and water every day or two. Within not long, up they come! I'm in Australia, though, so not sure if conditions are anywhere near the same.
