This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
Today’s update from Weirdo HQ.
And fear.
Don’t look away

🚨 While kids in MN were gunned down at school, Rep. John James starred in a gun-fetish video with right-wing tabloid Michigan Enjoyer. Spraying bullets & “joking” that K-12 kids need weapons training. Guns are the #1 killer of kids in America—and James thinks it’s funny. No wonder they deleted it. 👇
Meanwhile TACO man is busy running the Kennedy Center and deciding what new executive order to sign today.

No surprise as they venerate the puppy killer and all the cruelty she thrives on.
Here he goes.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
It’s always so easy to laugh at this, but it’s not funny. For 3hrs today, grown men & women all took turns getting down on their knees, fellating their dear leader. In front of the cameras. It’s sad. It’s gross. It’s North Korea. It shouldn’t happen here.
These guys should be home with their families.
In other words, the shadow President, Stephen Miller.
That is much truer of the active-duty kids than Guardsmen with families. Saw it in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Just walking around the hellscape that is my Chicago neighborhood this morning
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?
Does he not remember Trump went to court over the census and lost trying to add a citizenship question?
ICE acts that way. Show me a video of any Guardsman "terrorizing" people. And yes, I am sure a number are conflicted just as I was during depoyment to Iraq or during Operation Jump Start. You can still do good work within the framework of a bad mission.
When it takes an atheist to point out to Evangelical Christians what’s morally and ethically wrong, religion has completely failed in America.
As for being deployed, some wil be upset. I did not like the political theater when I was called to duty for Bush's Operation Jump Start. However, that was done in lieu of our annual training, so no extra hardship. This mission with no end date will be a hardship for many in the Guard.
You follow orders until they become illegal orders. While states may argue about the legal control of the Guard that is not an issue for the individual Guardsman. At this point, they have not received any illegal orders that we know of.
A lawless regime increasingly open in its impunity
“During the 10 days Jimenez Rosa was detained, the family was stuck in a bureaucratic maze as the 42 y.o. mother was shuttled between detention facilities- including 1 for men only- from MA to ME. She was denied care for her diabetes, asthma and other health issues, which led to 2 hospitalizations”
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
🚨 Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ⏰ it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a “suspicious person” in 2025.
To all my fellow Americans, it’s a really straightforward question: Do you want America to become a police state? Yes or no?👇
👇👇
Has he talked to our man in Moscow today? Putin says fuck you.
Akex, $500 dollars for Tweets that go Nowhere. The lady from SC is almost as bad a TACO man.
Yes. Easy history, we had plans for virtually every contingency.
This is so, so bad. We have reached the point of the president's supporters calling other human beings cockroaches. It is making me lose my mind that evangelical Christians support this.
Art of the deal.
Lavrov:Putin is willing to meet with Zelenskyy only if all issues requiring discussion at the highest level are thoroughly prepared Lavrov said that "question of the legitimacy of the signatories on the Ukrainian side will arise" Russia is playing for time&has no real intention of ending the war
New Senate Report Details How Private Equity 'Devastates' Hospital Systems "Private equity comes in, squeezes the life out of hospitals and doctor's offices, and then leaves patients and communities in the lurch," says a report from Sen. Chris Murphy. www.commondreams.org/news/private...
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
Well, if he had been a friend of Rick's!
The concessions that they walked back while Putin's plane was still in the air?
Mostly what I have seen is that they are calling Guard MP units. In my experience many of those folks are also civilian law enforcement. Thus, by calling them to DC Trump is taking them off the streets elsewhere and more likely from higher crime areas.
My understanding is that the list of people whose clearances have been revoked by Gabbard includes a career civil servant who was until recently the most senior Russia analyst in the CIA & remains senior there. (NYT previously reported it included a snr CIA analyst: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/u...)
Because standing around wasting time is a violation of the constitution? Right now, just a waste of taxpayer $$$.
Not to mention that they all have civilian jobs. It was hard to deal with employers when I was in and doing these political stunt shows will not make it easier for people that volunteered to help their communities.
BULLSHIT.
"...once law enforcement leaves."! Guys in civies with masks and assault rifles are not LE. Trump's private army of J6ers would be an apt name for them, but not LE.
"critics call it extortion" gee thanks @nytimes.com pls let us know when you find out what's going on
youtu.be/pg2L67CiQiI?...
That would be ICE, not the Guard.
What day is it? Better ask Stephen Miller.
How long did it take for armed, masked, badgeless, warrantless Trump agents surrounding vehicles and smashing windows to turn to gunfire in American streets? This long. And who—besides everyone alive—could have predicted it? Anyone who doesn’t see how dark things are going to get... God help you.
Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.
The bigger news was that Vance wore a muzzle. I guess he can now go back to his important work of finding places to vacation at taxpayer expense.
On ne passe pas
Negating formidable defensive lines by “negotiations” is an old dictator tactic. Hitler used it in Czechoslovakia, Stalin tried to use it in Finland, Putin tries to use it in Ukraine.
Well let's see where Trump ends up on Ukraine security after talking to papa Putin tonight. It's like going to Vegas and shooting craps.
Holy shit.
This is the Israel I believe in. Not the far-right extremists supported by Europe and the US
Senator Markey reports another scare tactic by Taco n his Cult. I’m sure there’s something in the Constitution or laws that makes this ILLEGAL! OH that would b the ECPA Act n Privacy Act of 1974! Sue the MFs! #arresttrump #arrestnoem
A man who worked for the U.S. military in Afghanistan and his family could be eligible for asylum in Canada — but ICE won’t release them.
Is this Trump or a stand in? He changes his positions so fast and so many times that it's hard to believe that there is just one of him.
Did they send Whitless to the wood shed?
Did they lock Vance up in his kennel?
Putin told him to do this. That’s a very important piece of the story. Im not kidding. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Something something free speech something something
Oh god, this does create an incentive to basically minimise the cost of steel/aluminium components specifically compared to other materials/competents, effectively incentivising physical enshittification. Also assessment of this is just going to be nightmarish.
NewsMax joins Fox News on the list of lying liars who spread Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. www.npr.org/2025/08/18/n...
And he admits on Truth Social receiving these orders from Sith Lord Putin in Alaska. Trump is a Traitorous Fuck.
Offering no-excuse mail-in voting: Canada, Germany, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Poland, S. Korea, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Please tell me what "illegal" orders they have been given? Try to be crystal clear so that even the lowest private understands your interpretation of "illegal" orders.
Only in his demented mind. The man does nothing but play golf and watch TV. Maybe he should watch some PBS and get past the third grade. Oh, wait...
And Trump tweets that Putin instructed him in Alaska on how to rig US elections!
Trump just posted that Putin told him to get rid of mail in ballots and voting machines. It really was a visit of the Sith Lord. we are so screwed.
And now Putin has told Trump how to rig US elections. Did the free world get screwed in Alaska or what?
Sure, spending 1% of GDP on defense Germany offered to send helmets and blankets. Tell me your sob story. Biden published all the intel and still Germany said no. And Germany was not the only country to reject action.
Life comes at you fast
Your coworkers and neighbors. Don't blame them for the morons that voted for Trump.
What a fucking un-American, dangerous, stupid waste of the National Guard.👇
Obama was having to deal with Afghanistan and the ME. Americans were tired of endless wars. Europe, especially Germany, were hard no's on stronger action. Hell, the military forces in the EU were almost non-existent. US was not going to risk war with Russia without a strong NATO agreement.
Yes, the Germans were in long denial of Putin's nature with their Ostpolitic. Merkel basically handed Putin the keys to the German economy believing business would restrain his worst impulses. It failed and now Trump is going down the same rabbit hole.
Based on information on the Alaska meeting Trump simply wants the war over so he can get the Nobel and do many glorious business deals with Putin like divving up the Arctic. He does not give one shit about Ukraine or its people.
Look who got her French passport today! Things looking good on this side of the pond. Wynter loves the parks and green spaces in Reims.
All depends on the security guarantees. No land surrendered that is currently held by Ukrainian forces.
Invading Ukraine was insane. Economy means little to him. Just ask Angela Merkel who thought she could do business with him.
Not easy to do when you're a simpering brown nose to TACO man.
Trump continues to think of Putin as a businessman. Angela Merkel made that mistake years ago and Trump is too stupid to learn the lesson. The fact that Treasury and Commerce were at the table in Alaska cements this view. Then read the Putin comments about sharing the artic.
Witkoff is Whitless. The Russian constitution already forbids wars against its neighbor. That is why Putin calls it a SMO. Whitless should go to the Emerald City and ask the Wizard for a brain.
So, the guy that fired the head of the BLS for bad statistics is going to accept losing the 2026 election? The guy that wanted the military to seize voting machines in 2020? The guy that has absolute slobbering loyalists in control of DOJ and the military?

Gross understatement.
You mean Whitless?
It is already in the constitution that it is illegal to start a war. Why the hell do they think it is forbidden to call the war in Ukraine anything other than a 'Special Military Operation"? Instead Putin should wear an explosive neck collar at all times, & Zelenskyy holds the trigger for it.
Please don't say Putin "played" Trump and got everything he could've ever wanted from the grotesque spectacle in Alaska without also noting that it's *easy* to play Trump. Putin isn't a genius—a *child* could play Trump. Just flatter him and indulge his delusions. He's pathetic.
If Vance is there, then someone has to be there to bitch slap that clown. There need to be serious people in the room to discuss the insanity of the Putin "Peace" plan and giving in to evil dictators.
It was funny to start with but it's getting tiresome. We only need one idiot constantly posting crap in full caps.
