Here it comes: Martial Law

Here's a link to the article. You're welcome.

Martial, martial, martial!

They are probably preparing for the coming multi-city Al Qaeda attack, which is suspected to occur this year. The Biden Administration's open borders policy allowed at least 8,000 jihadis into the country.

I’m R3 and I’ll believe anything!

R3 wasn't meant as sarcasm?

If that's what the right wing media is spouting now, I gotta GTFOH.

I hope R3 is being facetious.

I told you bitches I was coming!

80 million American assholes voted for this.

Deal with the results of your arrogance, stupidity, laziness, racism, and xenophobia, bitches.

Un huh

But, but Genocide Joe! $8 Eggs!

Reap what you sow, dumb bitches.

duh aigs aire to hi

Where will the first Trump-KKKunt State Massacre happen?

Stop blaming the victims; chances are low that legitimate DLers voted for Trump anyway.

Read the article. It will give you chills.

It’s never going to change Trump Voter minds until they are personally affected. Most don’t live in big cities and are scared of them. They are paranoid and rooted in the past. I wish I could profit off their ignorance.

I hate this, I hate all of this. Just sent another donation to the dem running for governor in my state.

Hey! Send those soldiers to mah farm! Ah got rotting crops to pick!

[quote]80 million American assholes voted for this.

Yes, and the majority will cheer this on when it happens, and will gleefully report their neighbors and family members to Trump's Reaction Force for suspected disloyalty. Most of these folks will never change their tune and will go to their graved as total fascists with 100% loyalty to the cause, regardless of how this all plays out and even if it directly affects them.

Im duct taping my windows!

MAGA are the dumbest people alive and the easiest to grift, R14. Trump, the entire GOP, and those with social media platforms spouting government propaganda in support of the current administration are profiting off the ignorance of MAGA. They depend on it, parasitically, in order to survive. Friendly suggestion: don't waste your money donating to Democratic candidates or politicians. Let the corporate donors they answer to spend the mountains of (bribery) money to get legislation favorable to their aims. The Dems are clearly not even bothering to pretend to play opposition. They serve the same masters as the GOP.

^ I see the both sides troll has joined us.

I love shopping at Martial's!

IT'S MARSHALL LAW YOU FOOLS!!! I KNOW BEST! I'M THE SMARTEST DUMBASS IN THE WORLD!!!

We’re in full Madness of King George mode here.

That’s the part that’s truly scaring me.

The reason that they’ve been doing all that tacky shit at the White House is that they’re turning it into a memory village. They’re trying to make him think he’s at Mar-A-Lago to keep him calm. I started noticing the decline during the campaign, but it’s speeding up. I don’t know if it’s neurosyphilis, Alzheimer’s, or just some other cognitive decline, but if the press corps was covering this honestly…

You’d ask why they don’t invoke the 25th Amendment and put in Vance…it’s because MAGA isn’t about the political philosophy. It’s a personality cult at his point. Trump could declare that he’s for Universal Basic Income tomorrow, and suddenly you’d have MAGA talking about how amazing socialism is. So instead, we’re keeping a toddler with his finger on the button happy because they need a figurehead to put in all this fascist nonsense. .

And at some point, he’s going to make a gaffe too big to spin, and then we’re really in trouble.

The Magats want to make DC a sundown town.

Oh, bebe R19, if, at this point in time, you *still* cannot discern that both sides are in fact serving the same masters, but using different approaches, then you are sadly as easy to grift as MAGA and are equally as dependent upon an external authority to become your savior. Hope you like the taste of dirty boots.

If you're still using "both sides" rhetoric...

All I know is that one party respects my rights as an American as defined in the US Constitution. And the other party does NOT!

[quote]^ I see the both sides troll has joined us

You aren't helping, R19. Acknowledging that the current Democratic party is feckless, apathetic and entirely under the control of billionaire donors who don't want to do anything that might upset their wealthy friends, is not the same as saying "both sides are the same." No, MAGAs are not the same as Democratic voters, but the leadership and officials of the Democratic party are, by and large, feckless, apathetic and in the pocket of billionaires.

Mocking someone for pointing this out is actually much more MAGA than stating the truth of the matter. Google "Blue MAGA" because you're a prime example of how liberal voters often create the same dangerous cult of personality-type around their political leaders as any Red MAGA.

I agree R18 . My old dad used to say "republicans or democrats...same shit,different piles"

The popular vote in 2024 was close. Trump 77 mil and change, Harris 75 mil and change.

And yet whenever we are offered an alternative, like AOC or Zohran Mamdani we're told "Eww, not them."

Wonder what it is about them that you (generic you) don't like. Hmmm.

"No, MAGAs are not the same as Democratic voters, but the leadership and officials of the Democratic party are, by and large, feckless, apathetic and in the pocket of billionaires."

Being "feckless and apathetic" is not equivalent to being a sociopath like Trump, sorry

Trump started out his term by threatening to invade Iceland. Now he’s using the U.S. military to . . . invade the U.S., but on a city by city basis, and just for a month in each city. The stupidity of this is majestic.

I’ve always been more of a TJ Maxx girl.

My concern is that he will do this in NYC especially if Mamdani is elected mayor. The MAGAts will manufacture a crisis in order to do so, and I fear innocent people will get hurt.

What a surprise! Quelle surprise!

All following Project 2025. Trump has signed 186 executive orders so far. More than Biden signed his whole four years. He is bypassing Congress and the Senate with the backup of the Supreme Court. If any sues to stop it the Supreme Court just rules in his favor. They are creating a fascist government and will not relinquish power ever. People are just standing by and letting it happen. By the time anyone can protest, there will be strike forces to beat them down and jail them. We are fucked beyond measure and no one is doing anything about it.

[quote]My concern is that he will do this in NYC especially if Mamdani is elected mayo

Let them try. NYC hates him and Hochul’s turned out to have a set of brass balls.

I have made a lot of votes that I regretted. I don’t know if I can remember any where I became prouder.

Democrats did not storm the Capital on 1/6/21 and try to overthrow the government. That was Trump and his goons beating up cops and trying to kill the Vice President and members of Congress + their staff members.

Democrats aren't perfect but they're not the same as the fascist Republicans, so spare me the lecture R27.

It took me a while to come around to Mamdani R37. I am now convinced he will be the perfect mayor in light of what’s happening. We New Yorkers will have his and each other’s backs.

NYC can hate him all they want, the police love him and he will federalize the police giving them federal powers. Look at ICE now. They are arresting people because they sound foreign.Mark my words, he will create a national police militia. No state or city government can stop him because he owns the highest court in the land.

I think Trump has crossed the line one time too many and this could well be the beginning of the end for him.

If any civiilians get killed he will be gone.

r41 I hope so.

Trump is mobilizing his army to prevent protests.

Wait until people leave the military in droves.

Protests are legal, first amendment. Fuck him.

Note to self, you only get privileges if you’re an orange pedophile.

[quote]NYC can hate him all they want, the police love him and he will federalize the police giving them federal powers.

And then we’ll have a civil war. But we’ll be in a better position now than in 2020. Hochul’s not perfect, but she cares about things other than herself. She’ll be a more effective check than Cuomo would have been. Mamdani is going to be way more effective than De Blasio ever was, though I’m have De Blasio nostalgia because Adams has been so shit.

[quote]It took me a while to come around to Mamdani [R37]. I am now convinced he will be the perfect mayor in light of what’s happening. We New Yorkers will have his and each other’s backs.

Mamdani just dropped one of the most effective ads I’ve seen in a long time. I’m actually moving out of the city in the fall, but I’m trying to see if I can legally keep my voter registration to vote for him.

Is Lisette that grubby looking woman who makes hobo jewelry?

Civil war seems inevitable. If Trump takes over NYC and NYers are like "come and take it," guess what? He fucking will and he'll have the National Guard and every cop in the city happy to shoot "criminals" who defy "the rule of law."

The solution is obvious, Trump has to go. Americans should be hitting the streets in every state and be very vocal about it. That will scare the Republicans into possibly doing something about The Problem Which is Donald Trump.

r46, he knew that when he wanted to shoot BLM protests in Lafayette Park.

He doesn't care.

R22/VotN, I don’t want Vance either….

[quote]Civil war seems inevitable. If Trump takes over NYC and NYers are like "come and take it," guess what? He fucking will and he'll have the National Guard and every cop in the city happy to shoot "criminals" who defy "the rule of law."

Except the commander in chief of the New York National Guard is Kathy Hochul. Yes, Trump could try a bullshit reason to federalize it, but that would basically be throwing a stick of dynamite into a pool of gasoline. Trump would do it, but the people pulling his strings wouldn’t.

I'm fired up now. I simply do not understand why the American people aren't as disgusted and enraged by Trump as I am.

[quote][R22]/VotN, I don’t want Vance either….

Right. That’s the Catch-22.

The Bannons, Theils and Millers would rather have Vance. They could easily remove Trump under the 25th. The problem is, MAGA isn’t loyal to their fascist philosophy. They’re loyal to Trump.

So they have to keep up the appearance that Trump is okay. But he’s slipping more and more. He’s in much worse shape than Biden would have been, and probably was even during the campaign.

R55 most people aren’t aware of any of this and would get bored in ten seconds if you brought it up.

Because 77 million of them are racist, xenophobic, homophobic, arrogant, stupid, faux Christian assholes and proud of it, R55, and Trump is their spiritual leader, a "real American and patriot," just like them.

A dignified, educated black womam scares the shit out of them, but a psychotic, violent convicted felon/sexual predator/child rapist makes a perfect POTUS in their "Idiocracy" - like world view.

Why keep blaming the people as if democrats didn't have a whole four years under Biden to prosecute the orange menace for the insurrection? Instead, Merrick Garland did NOTHING. And Biden going on about how Republicans are very fine people who just lost their way with Trump.

Democrats are at 19% popularity for a reason.

When prices keep rising, people won't be happy. It all seems to come down to money.

R59 would like to remind you that both sides are awful. Aren’t both sides awful?

To put the situation in DL term, MAGA’s trapped worshipping their own Erica Kane: aging, over-the-top, and determined to hog every scene. She’ll never hand the storyline to a successor, so when she goes, the whole soap gets canceled.

[quote]would like to remind you that both sides are awful. Aren’t both sides awful?

None of which I said. So try another deflection to avoid answering the question.

Why wasn't he prosecuted for Jan 6th as he should have been? Then all of this could have been avoided. The people voted Biden in to stop Trump from running again.

r62 Palms were greased at that trial.

[quote] Democrats are at19% popularity for a reason.

Stupid Democrats, it's all their fault!

Well Biden had to play integrity politics, and put someone in the DOJ who was ineffectual garbage.

Because Biden made an objectively stupid choice with Garland. I’m not pretending Biden didn’t make mistakes, and clearly a big part of this happened because he didn’t have a succession plan. I won’t pretend Biden doesn’t also have some cognitive decline, but I think it was just normal aging exacerbated by the world’s most stressful job.

But Trump is perfectly healthy! Strong as an ox and smart as a whip!

^^^Yeah, but we all know that doctor's a quack.

R68 Clever.

We need a million people to PEACEFULLY march on DC to the WH.

Trump HUMILIATED As ICE Protestor Cases Collapse Over Agent Lies

ICE Assaults & Arrests U.S. Citizen... But She Gets The Last Laugh

They're pushing and poking, insulting and assaulting us, and it looks like they have no intention of letting up. The path that Trump and his MAGA collaborators are on leads right to an American-style French Revolution. Does anyone agree with me?

There will be a revolution. They'll frame it as "civil war."

And they'll very likely crush it.

[quote]And they'll very likely crush it.

I wouldn't be so sure. We're in about the 2nd or 3rd inning of this game, folks.

I see no problem with this. These plans have always been in place and updated regardless of the political leanings of the administration in charge.

Watch the series "Say Nothing."

I fear that will be our future - we'll have to have our own IRA.

And we'll definitely have our own set of Troubles.

Nothing says "Small Government" like Martial Law!

"Does anyone agree with me?"

I don't. Democrats are indulging in their new favorite sport: shitting all over Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and their respective legacies. Many of these assholes post here on a daily basis, far more concerned about what Biden/Harris didn't do than what Trump is actually doing on a daily basis.

Gas chambers within two years

NYT columnists say the military will obey Trump's orders even if they're illegal, because all the officers that oppose Trump are gone.

Free article.

Trump has gone around the bend, his dementia is getting worse. He's been saying a lot of nonsensical stuff. I also believe people like Stephen Miller are in his ear all the time.

Agree r79 but many of them were never the Democrats they claim to be.

Fuck the GOP

O'Donnell pointed out this evening that Trump mentioned he was going to Russia to meet Putin when they're actually meeting in Alaska.

In fact, Trump said (with bleached blonde Pam Bondi not three feet away) that when they reach a deal, maybe Putin will give him Leningrad.

When was Leningrad last called Leningrad? It went back to St. Petersburg when the Cold War ended.

This man has the nuclear launch codes, people. Ponder that.

Oops! Forgot to mention that when Trump fucked up about Leningrad, Bondi burst out laughing, then caught herself. But it was still pretty noticeable.

I hate this

Roy Cohn Playbook:

Never admit you are wrong.

[quote]This man has the nuclear launch codes, people. Ponder that.

I don’t know which part scares me more: That, or the fact the people like Miller pulling his strings might not get him out until it’s too late.

Forgive me for being a conspiracy theorist, but this is why I haven’t been sleeping well this summer.

I’m not a neurologist, so, grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure he has Dementia with Lewy bodies. In DL terms, it’s what Estelle Getty died of. I can’t make anything else fit. It’s similar to Parkinson’s, but the symptoms happen in the reverse order, so you see the cognitive declines before you see the motor stuff. There’s also a confounding factor of his clear long-term stimulant abuse (whether that’s cocaine or something like Adderall I don’t know). Plus, at baseline, he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I think he’s been in a prodrome for a long time, possibly as far back as the birther stuff.

As a bit of a timeline, the birther stuff, while it clearly had roots in his being a racist attention whore, had an obsessive quality that always seemed to almost border on a psychosis. But it fed into the news cycle, so it didn’t look that weird. There were some early signs in 2016, but he was still generally sharp. The real issues started popping up around 2020, which is when we started to see more of the cognitive declines (let’s drink bleach, etc) and the motor stuff. It was way more apparent in 2024, but they were able to keep the focus on Biden (who I’m sure has some cognitive issues that are related to age, but were worsened by the stress of the job—notice he’s more lucid since leaving office). Trump is also clearly having some cardiovascular issue, which are making it worse. I know they said he has chronic venous insufficiency, but the fact that it’s bilateral and in both his legs and arms is more likely right-sided congestive heart failure. So he’s not only got failing circuits, he’s got poorly perfused failing circuits. DLB also has a significant visual hallucination component, which I think it also happening.

The issue is that MAGA is built around him, not around the fascist stuff. If it was just about ideology, Ron DeSantis would be President right now, or we’d have a President Harris who’d won a squeaker election against him. But MAGA doesn’t care about the message, they care about the messenger. Trump is too far gone to name a successor outright (and was too NPD to do so when he was more together), and even if Don Jr were to say “His last words were ‘Follow Don Jr!’” Not all of MAGA would go for that. Some, but not all. So they’re pushing through all this stuff NOW because they know that don’t have much time left. The building collapses when you pull the cornerstone. That’s why it’s “Project 2025” and not “Vision 2030” or something else.

Sleep tight.
