As I watch loosened gun laws, the militia movement, police militarization, environmental destruction, and anti-vax takeover of the government move apace, I can't help feeling that this was the plan Trump agreed to during his Helsinki meeting with Putin.

Given Trumps purge of experienced Government employees, seemingly at every level, while replacing them with loyalists of no specific expertise (other than brownnosing) kinda makes you wonder if Putin deployed an army of moles (as in The Americans) in anticipation of this day.

Flood-funding ICE is not enough to counter the power of the U.S. Armed Forces in the case where the Executive Branch starts issuing illegal orders You need a heavily-armed citizenry to augment ICE. The GOP have been strategizing this for decades. They're willing to bear the murder of children.

I consider it very (perhaps overly) simple: A majority of these new hires are former convicted J6 Insurrectionists whose faces are readily identifiable via web sources. I consider this ICE expansion as an employment program for the J6 participants made unemployable by their actions that day.

Frankly, the way to do it would be for the Blue States to file revised Income Tax Returns each time Trump cancels funding, fails to provide financial support (i.e. FEMA) provided in the past, or each Trump tariff goes into effect.

A) I assume the mugging of DOGE staff constitutes an emergency. B) I predict the DC Police will be held in federalization in excess of the 48 hours authorized, without the approval of Congress at committee and statutory levels. Instead, a delaying lawsuit. /4
