I’m personally worried about a global market crash or possibly a nuclear meltdown or other disaster. It’s not just the USA that is under threat. It’s the entire planet.
BTW- I actually watched that tank episode with my babysitter who then abandoned her husband and son to become a broadcaster for the Voice of America
Guys, have you read project 2025: this is it!. If decent republicans, dems and independents do not get together in a big movement Democracy Vs Fascism,,,,we are totally toast. 47 is the vehicle , the brain is Heritage Foundation + billonaires. And…the collaborative Supreme Court.
What military lawyers? All the Jags were fired. They were fired for some of these very reasons which also includes the illegal bombing of these boats off of Venezuela. They have no clue if these boats were drug cartel.
Just today October 3rd Anthony Tata was just hired as New Undersecretary of Defense to start major restructuring of the military. This includes most likely firings of Brass that does not align with Trump. This administration is moving at a lightning speed.
Total respect for Edwin and Tom. I disagree though. Every single person has failed to underestimate Trump. There are no guardrails as stated. I do expect USA will experience another Kent State or Tiananmen’s Square type event. Trump/MAGA will revel in it. We must stop it.
Hey guys, Oct. 18 is coming. I'm already preparing for it. We are planning our signs where I live. Not too worried. I live in WA State and so far Donald is mouth only here. Thank God for CA, OR, and us!
We’re going to peacefully stand strong for our constitution and our rights and we’ll see the end of this regime. The MAGA Party caught the car with their shutdown and they aren’t competent to get themselves out of it. It’s like forcing a drug addict to hit bottom.
Agreed, the reason we’re seeing such extreme behavior is because they are a scared dog in a corner. They’re snapping at anything they can while they can.
The ICE WAFFEN-SS is not part of the military yet, and it could be be just a matter of time before the National Guard becomes the National SA Brown shirts. The US military forces are the question mark. Would they follow orders to kill fellow citizens? Would this not likely start civil war? Can Dementia Don Trump and Prissy Pete decapitate the flag level and replace them with Senate approved senior staff? I don’t think that Fox News Infotainment has the bench to provide the protoplasm to fill the void.
Good convo for sure. I would just say that I think we should feel, think, and behave as though we are in a fascist regime. Perhaps it is reversible, and perhaps it can be overcome. Perhaps it is not like Orwell's 1984--this is a big country and the Administration is fairly inept in certain ways. However, for quite a few people, there is no distinguishing this from some grossly sinister authoritarianism. Perhaps they are facing ICE thuggery, or are Venezuelan and decry the military actions, or they think Steven Miller is a real dangerous guy. Maybe they are Senator Padilla and they just got their ass tackled, or perhaps they are a Rep trying to oversee an ICE facility and were stymied or even prosecuted.
So I'm not hopeless, but I tend to agree with George Packer that we are seeing a "zombie democracy" around us. We are there. Let's try to get out of it.
Cheeto Deliberately Working On Making America Violent
Cheeto and his Nazi regime want to provoke violence and make Americans feel less safe The game is fear and intimidation of the citizenry as seen yesterday in Chicago with an apartment raid that left the apartments trashed…many US citizens and children zip tied until released Cheeto has declared that the country is in an “armed conflict” with cartels as an excuse
Why else would the regime cut $$ for counterterrorism in blue cities recently reported cutting $1.5B in NYC which more broadly affects other regional communities? Cheeto has done away with other federal funding to cripple responses by local law enforcement There is little justification for such a policy except to make states and communities less safe and create cells of terrorists to maraud
This then gives Cheeto the excuse to use the military in communities as the strongman He keeps calling blue cities areas of hell and crime when nothing of the kind is happening But Cheeto needs an excuse to give himself extraordinary wartime powers
Yes, it was a spectacle to show an open-hulled boat carrying a dozen or so men being blown to bits by an armed ship in international waters for the crime of being suspected of a crime. And it must have been a spectacle to see ICE vehicles, including at least one large helicopter (and btw how is it that ICE now has a bigger budget than the Marine Corps?) close in on a five story residential building housing men, women, children, elders and babies, rounding them up partially or completely naked, zip tying older children in a line with their younger siblings as they stumbled down several flights of stairs into a night filled with terrorized screams and cries for mercy as their parents and grandparents were ripped away. And I thought the separation of children from their parents in the last Trump administration was bad. It pales in comparison with what we're supposed to accept from the gang of goons and misfits (so similar to the Gestapo) POTUS has sicc'ed on us like a pack of slavering wolfhounds. Quite a spectacle. My spectacles are streaked with tears of outrage.
Its Hitlers Brown shirts all over. Is so hard to say it but hoping People Power will win, just hoping the decent in the military stand up. I don't live in America and it is very very frightening from where I am watching. I am not religious but I am praying for all the 'good' people of America. Magas can rot in hell.
We need all the thoughts, prayers and good wishes we can get. Trump clings to power because he and his sons are make a shi* ton of money off international grifting via untraceable crypto bribes from both foreign and international bastard. It's bad enough we're being impoverished by his regime, but now we're being beaten and hauled off to prison in the dead of night. Kids included. God--however you understand the Sacred, help us. Thanks for your interest and compassion.
This "Peace President" certainly is involved in a lot of WAR and aggressive actions in Israel and Venezuela.
Tom Nichols is one of my favorite people.

I know how you feel I cried the night of the election and now in my 80's I will be out on the picket line for NO KINGS
