I know it’s tired to bring up “if Obama did it” but just imagine if he had sent the National Guard into republican cities that hadn’t asked for them

Alex Jones has been screaming about this for 25 years. But I guess he never really cared, as long as it was his side invading the cities.
They would have taken up arms and rioted, and that's just for a start.
Agree, we can't forget the Bundy Ranch standoff, loaded weapons pointed at greatly outgunned FBI and BLM, with shooters hiding behind children... And Hannity preaching them as freedom fighters. There would have been blood.
That whole thing was a clusterfuck. And Amon Bundy is a free man! I understand that they were trying to avoid another Branch Davidian/Waco or Ruby Ridge, but come on.
@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social reading your post right now
Republican legislators would be flopping on the floor in fits faster than you can yell "Gator!"
The accusation is always an admission. The turdheads weren’t against military occupation of cities, silencing of the public, restriction of movement, forced participation, etc. They want those things, as long as they’re done by those with similar ideologies.
Jade Helm.
Nary a fucking peep.
I can never figure out what abbot believes or doesn’t believe
That's really easy. Just ask yourself, "Which direction is the shadowy PAC-donation wind blowing most strongly right now?" That'll tell you exactly what he "believes." Greg Abbott is damned dangerous. Not only is he completely amoral, but he's also very smart. He worries me more than most.
He doesn’t have a belief system.
Scanners (1981)
Thats a blast from the past 🏆 Accurate.
🎯
Or had a giant picture of himself on a federal building.
Well, it would distract attention away from the Epstein files, if that were what Obama wanted to do.
I hope the next democratic POTUS realizes s/he can do whatever they want and use the courts as their shields (even if it’s just during appeals).
There are years of clean-up before vengeance can be brought to bear - the courts, congress, Trump’s deep state (absolutely)…
When Eisenhower did it to enforce school integration, they certainly hated it 😂
If only he’d brought them to the press club comedy thing way back when and hauled off the mammoth butt before he became 8645 or 8647. I’m sure there were enough fed and state things he was guilty of (cough pedophilia cough).
This post made my blood pressure pop. You're right, and that's why I'm mad. 🤬 (Don't worry, I have low to average BP, I'm fine. Just mad.)
They had a hissy fit on a made up rumor, much less the reality of it. Jade Helm was Russia's first big run at internet propaganda, and it exceeded all their expectations.
If Obama diddled children? They would have built Gallows on the White House lawn.
Imagine if Obama had called for an insurrection and then pardoned the people who'd been convicted of participating in the insurrection.
My daughter pointed out as we were watching the insurrection if it had been BLM everyone would be shot on the stairs
the black helicopters would've blocked the sun
They wouldn't have made it to the stairs.
and then their bodies hung from the scaffolding
My son and I just sat there crying. Then we started asking why these people weren’t being arrested.
I'm still so traumatized from watching it unfold from beginning to end, I cannot bear to see a second of the melee. A clip of it is posted daily on here and I have to mute the post ea day so that I don't scroll up on it later.
Republicans lost their capability to recognize hypocrisy long ago. "Owning the Libs" is the only thing they care about
It would have been (Malheur National Wildlife Refuge) X (Waco) ÷ (Ruby Ridge).
The boys with their guns would be up in arms
Feels like "if X Democrat did this" ended with Access Hollywood tape.
Ammon Bundy would be throwing a fit on Fox. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Isn't there a federal building that he has been eyeing to go camping in? Hadnt seen his name in ages
The rightwing was ready to start a shooting war in 2015 over a war game, Diedrich. Their allegiance to the United States has never been particularly strong.
Hell, it would have been The Ides of March Redux..
All the cosplay soldier militias would have been out in force, possibly actually opening fire on soldiers. Yet, they're strangely absent from the one thing they've supposedly been preparing for their entire lives.
There were people I knew who held "Tea Party" meetings about armed resistance on the rumor/fear that Obama was going to confiscate guns. Actual military occupation appears to be just fine with them, though.
Republican hypocrisy is boundless. That’s how you get under 40% approval and resort to voter suppression and gerrymandering to maintain the control that’s all you care about.
The White Nationalists don't care what Trump does, because he's trying to Make America White Again. Trump could rape their wives and daughters while shooting their cats and dogs ... and they would be at his heels polishing his shoes and sucking on his toes. Trump has cucked the White Nationalists.
They’d shit themselves blind, but these aren’t people who believe in democracy.
We don’t even have to imagine the reaction! They reacted to exactly that scenario when they made up the story that Obama was planning to do it and moving personnel and material into place! www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
and in a tan suit of all things
I mean it was bad enough when he wore a tan suit.
MAGA (Tea Party) might be as outraged as they were over his tan suit
