I'm guessing that, right about now, Susan Collins is seriously considering expressing her concern.
😡🖕🏻 him
F*ing betraying the Constitution. These are straight up fascist pigs.
Skirting the line? Take this BS nationwide and we'll grind these Nazis into dust just like we did 80 years ago.
These people are fascists. No doubt about it.
What's this I heard today about Hegseth maybe running for governor of Tennessee?
"There is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes This "conveys the idea that despite outward changes, the fundamental aspects of human nature, existence, and experiences tend to repeat themselves across generations."
Same shit, different dickheads.
"“That puts this threat on the same plain [sic] as having Al Qaeda or ISIS cells and fighters operating freely inside America,” the memo says." This is what putting Mil personnel to suppress protests in the streets will create. Is this a means to their intended end, Militarized law enforcement?
Apparently EVERYTHING involving fed'l expenditures allocated by Congress to a fed'l executive branch agency for a purpose defined by Congress will have to be processed through a court challenge to disemination refusal. Unless the Supreme Ct ends the tactic. It won't. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/u...
This is the part where it gets scary for everybody. Republicans, if this is not what you intended, you would better speak up. You will be held accountable for your vote.
FLOODING THE ZONE Release the #TrumpsteinFiles #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinList
I would think that a ruler who does this against his own citizenry is pretty much precluded from any Nobel Peace Prize consideration.
Did you know that the Mar a largo club opened at the same time Epstein started his business.
Scary times
I guess they will be invading NYC soon.
Time for everyone to accept the GOP is fully behind a Christofascist takeover by a moron stampede . Destroying gov,military,rule of law ,the economy and lives of everyone but a few on the top is exactly what leaders like Johnson want. Religious extremism adds danger by removing morality and empathy
Wadr JWV,what is it one can expect from Crooks,Philistines& RACISTS w/a primary"GOP"M.O. to keep us"BLACKS"in our place,BROWNS out the country+to"ROB"our U.S💲Treasury,Law Abidance? Thats tantamount to being on "Soi Cowboy,Khana Plaza/Khoasan road"in"BANGKOK"with,no"BAHT",neva happen G.I,i no can do?
I'm stunned at how frightened these people are. Yes, there are problems in communities across America, but nothing that warrants military intervention. They need to get out of their limos, private jets and walk around. Maybe they wouldn't be so scared of Americans if they lived like most of us do.
Maybe its time to burn their limos and private jets while they're inside.
The desire to return violence with violence is understandable. If violence was going to make the world better for everyone, it would have happened a long, long time ago. Erica Chenoweth has some interesting research on the effectiveness of nonviolent movements. youtu.be/YJSehRlU34w?...
They don’t care to know us. They want to kill us. The evidence is everywhere.
“Skirting”🙄 the MSM fails us every hour of every day
Skirting is not the correct word.
Duhhhhhhh!!!! Now let's do a general strike and shut down congress ourselves before they implement this bullshit!
They are embolden how……there is no line they will not cross……they are blowing through every norm and law because there is no pushback from SCOTUS or Republican lawmakers
I don’t understand how all this is possible. What happened to the journalist and freedom of information… Why aren’t Americans marching to DC or wherever trump is and demanding he step down and all his administration… When thousands of African Americans marched to DC. Are we afraid of military
The end goal is to criminalize decent. You oppose Trump therefore you are giving material support to terrorists.
All of this is intentional. They are pushing the boundaries to steadily erode civil rights and destroy democracy.
It's all about declaring a state emergency which will be used as an excuse to "delay" the midterm elections
I'm Canadian, but I am concerned for your country, maybe the best Americans should start cleaning their guns!
Just what we need-people without a stake advocating for violence! Stay in your lane!
Oh and I have a huge stake in the World!!!!!!!! 🌎😁
Who's advocating violence? Good ol' DJT, against any and all who oppose the King!!!
He’s on our side. Pipe down.
I take it that you are not one of the best Americans and you are going to find out soon 🔜!
I was actually defending you. I think you accidentally replied to me.
I'm new here 😄😸.
No problem. That happens to me too.
Oops 😬
What are you talking about? Crazy talk. We are in the same side when it comes to Trump.
I am not for violence of any kind. So get your gun does not sit well with me.
Maybe you don't want to fight for your life and country, but someone has to! I for one do not want to lay down and die or suffer immeasurably. I'm a 70 year old atheist and I would stand up to protect you and your family 💖!
No one wants violence. Except maybe maga. I think the Canadian guy meant well.
Of course I don't want to say violence is the answer,but it is a last ditch effort to save the country and possibly the world. Having the instigators removed from society. Protection of what we value, the best outcome for the World is in most of us 💕.
Trump voters: Did you actually vote for this? Did you vote to end you and your kids' public television programs? Did you vote to lose your health care? Did you vote for grocery prices to stay high? Project 2025 is not just reasonable differences of opinion among decent Americans. IT'S A COUP.
This is alarming! Find a protest Show up Use your voice Stay peaceful and safe
Nazi police state.
A not-well-veiled threat itself. How many of them will cave to this threat... I guess we'll see.
As Congress fiddles.
Fiddling would be an improvement. The GOP majority is loudly cheering its own irrelevance.
Hegseth was always key to martial law. That’s why Trump keeps him.
TRUMPS PANICKING!! TRUMP NOW KNOWS - Ghislaine Maxwell can reveal his PEDO CRIMES - Ghislaine is now Dictating Terms to the Freak!!
The military isn’t enthusiastic about this. Look for lackluster compliance to any order. The soldiers do not want to take up arms against the American public.
Skirting? More like leaping over the line. With a vaulting pole.
Of course they know. And the test in LA failed miserably!!✊🏼🇺🇸
This has nothing to do with immigration. He just wants troops on the streets to stop us from protesting. It won't work. As soon as National Guard or regular military are on your hometown's turf get people out there 24/7. Work on the troops. Make them question themselves and why they are there.
And stop us from voting. When we see this and voting rules changed next year, will people rebel then?
There are enough grassroots groups with enough members that they will get stirred up. I tell people that during our intial revolt against England, 30% were for it, 20% still supported the crown and the rest didn't care. If only 30% defeated the biggest empire in our history we can beat Trump.
Isn’t that called Martial Law? Military police, regarding all citizens as “ the enemy”? Keeping the boot of Trump On American citizens’ necks? Denying freedom to speak and move freely throughout America?
These people are Nazis. They plan to use our Army against us. So they can control us, intimidate us, and spread fear. This is fascism. Dictators demanding compliance. The end of our rights and freedoms. The truth is only what they tell us. It’s here right now. And it’s spreading like Covid.
We saw this coming. I hope they can resist
They know they’re crossing ethical and legal lines, but they’re betting no one will hold them accountable. That’s not governance, that’s corruption.
They have no ethics.
The fascist dictator is growing his Gestapo to put down peaceful protests and stay in power.
The people behind Trump are fascists and religious extremists. Trump himself is a pathetic fragile narcissist who loves to order people around. Together they are fabricating an autocratic racist state to do whatever they want. It will be the end of the USA as we've known it for 250 years.
The primary skill of the military is to kill people. And that’s what our military is about to end up doing to our own people - on a mass scale. All of their excuses are just cover for setting up a domestic genocide. Here it comes.
The Tater and the Dick up to no good!
If Dumald can be said to have ANY Talent, What-so-EVER? It would be ‘Dancing back-&-Forth across the ‘Illegal/Unethical Line’ (Much like a Grifter/CrimeBoss). ONCE AGAIN, he’s testing Limits/Law to see: ‘•What he can GET AWAY WITH•…’
If only the Military said enough of this sh** show and had a coup !!!!
It actually is a very likely thing to happen. It might take an internal coup first among the generals and admirals to arrest the Trump appointees.
Well they need to hurry it up.
There have been grassroots groups in place for years and in some cases since 2016. I have seen the anti MAGA movement expand a lot since January. We have to constantly pay attention so we know how to play this and to stay ahead of the game.
Yall all about 20 yrs too late….they started building this military industrial complex to quell American revolution against the 1% back in the late 90s and esp after 9/11…..but nobody was tryna hear all that back then. Now here you are, screwed.
You told us so and we didn't listen to you. None of this eeeever occurred to any of us before. Our eyes have been opened at last.
Also, a more accurate name for you would be cyclops. Tf
Excellent!
Yeah, it’s a big joke. You must be white…..you’re definitely giving trumper vibes. Gfy
You missed that one completely.
🤬😱
Can anyone doubt they don’t know?!
The trump administration is kind of like a lava flow ... When it moves very slowly, it's hard to notice how much damage it is doing, not like an explosive eruption that destroys a lot very quickly ... The problem is that it still destroys everything in its path ... We need to stop it, SOON!
We knew LA was a trial to see how the rest of the country would react. Unless you want the military in your neighborhood telling you what you can and can’t do… I suggest you Stand up Do your part
On a practicle side start storing two weeks worth of food, water and medical supplies. If you don't have a firearm and ammo, get one and learn how to use it. Get in shape. Take self defense courses in case you run into trouble without a weapon. Read up on riot control tactics used by the military.
Uh oh, Hegseth sees the writing on the wall - floats idea of running for Gov. of Tennessee.😱
The people of the US must fight fire with fire. Right now.
The looting of America. ICE is about to receive well over $100 billion in new funds.
#WeWillNOTBeOccupied by our own goddamn military! We outnumber them 100:1. #MoreOfUs #RiseUp #PowerToThePeople
This seems bad.
REMINDER: The first country Nazi's invaded was Germany.
This is terrifying. First its immigration, then its "Muslims", then as we get closer to 2028, it will be the "domestic terrorist" "traitor" "insurrectionist" "treasonous" Democrats who either run against him (he is going to "run" for a 3rd term) or vote against him.
Stand up and never back down. Intimidation won't work.
Hopefully, he'll be in hell before he completes his dictator tasks. #2547
#military Los Angeles was a test case for use of military against Americans. Each time this happens Trump is setting a precedent for the next time. He wants to be able to declare martial law anytime he wants and bring the military in to control the people.
