    SO, US troops, how ya feeling about being deployed against the citizens you supposedly swore an oath to protect?

    If you follow this order, you are a cowardly bootlicking nazi traitor. Every. single. one of you.

      Don’t worry, the big meeting this week is the unveiling of the new Hitler oath.

      Oops, I mean Hitler.

      I mean Trump.

      I get it, but deploying military domestically with “full force” is absolutely not a fucking distraction. It’s the real deal.

        I have to keep saying this. The Epstein files are the fucking distraction. Dismantling the world’s most powerful nation is the real lede here, people.

          It’s beyond time to give the Epstein victims full justice. The files are not a distraction. Saying so is just poor judgment.

            And with the full unredacted files, there’s a chance we’d see a true fracture of the MAGA movement. That would likely put a quick stop to most of the extra stupid shenanigans.

          Agreed. No one needs to see any “files” to know that the pres and his buddies are child raping fascists. Even if we did see them, nothing would come from it. The Justice system protects these people. No one is saving us but ourselves - get out there and build your community cause a 100billion$ gestapo force is being built right now.

        I think it’s both. This kind of omniscandle is so hard to react appropriately to. We all get desensitised very quickly. Imo, he’s testing the water and seeing what he can get away with, increasing it in increments. I think they’re testing to see which units are loyal. Even if it doesn’t work out, it’s a great use of “dead cat strategy.”

      I always agree with posting this, however this time, it’s somehow worse. This is Trump declaring war on US citizens.

    He keeps hoping protesters “start” some violence.

    What if we protested by giving the military milk and cookies and played games with them?

      I mean didn’t they have videos of them shooting rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at non-violent protesters… It is a clear sign they are trying to make the protesters do something other than what they were doing. Protesting non-violently

        I don’t have sources but I believe National Guard and Marines have done their best to not mix it up with civilians.

        Local PD and ICE, less so.

        My point is — what if Trump threw a riot and no one showed up? Or, even better, the “rioters” and National Guard had a party instead, and Trump wasn’t invited?

    Deploy troops to all the major blue cities? Secret impromptu meeting for the generals? Hmmmm…something feels fishy.

    I feel sorry for the agents being deployed to Portland that will lose their life.

    Kidding, I don’t. Unfortunately, I do feel bad for how that will completely cement a dictatorship.
