Ummm, guys. Guys. GUYS!

I love you guys, but discussing this as a crime issue is just sort of...uhhhhh....missing the big picture.

It wouldn't matter if the murder rate were 20% higher and other crimes the same.  

He's ordering federal forces to seize an American city. There is only one reason. He's testing how much power he has. So far, he's got all of it. 

Crime has nothing more to do with this than rodent control.

Keep relying on some sort of political solution founded in Dem messaging, and Trump will hit no boundary. Acid wit and astute argument are not the appropriate instruments to stop a seizure by force. 

If anybody gave a real shit about this, there would be a national strike and unbridled outrage. Leaving protest and resistance only in the hands of the persecuted is pathetic. A joyful, self-satisfied, one-time event like "No Kings" is just checking a box. Check here if you did at least something.

There are a lot of checkboxes between that and Check here if you successfully stopped tyranny.

I begin to despise our passivity as much or more than the fascists' malignance. I'm being too polite in this world. I must act more or hate myself.

He’s gonna need a bigger distraction than this from the Epstein files

He’s talking about reclassifying marijuana to a schedule III drug. People are stupid and would eat this right up. It still doesn’t excuse being a pedophile. Or a rapist. Or a liar. Or a thief. Or a traitor.

No he isn't.  No one is talking about the Epstein files any more. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Epstein is still a pretty common conversation topic. Hasn't gone away where he needs it to go away.

I did a quick scan of some of the bigger news sites (not including Fox News because I knew they wouldn't have anything).  DId the old CTRL+F for 'Epstein' on 4x sites.  Got a mindblowing TWO hits.

President Donald Trump recently made his boldest claim yet in his longstanding promise to lower drug prices.

“You know, we’ve cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300 and 1,400, 1,500%,” he told reporters on Sunday, noting the reductions will start over the next two to three months. “I don’t mean 50%. I mean 14- 1,500%.”

Trump has unveiled a number of moves aimed at cutting drug prices in recent months, but he has yet to move the needle on reducing costs – much less slashing them by 1,500%, which is mathematically impossible, experts say.

When you get a 1,500% discount, do you get paid for your prescriptions?

I had to fill a script last week for the same $5.26 it's always been. In a couple months I'll get that investment back at a 1,500% return. Can't wait!

He's going to realize the electrified fence is turned off here pretty soon. I haven't figured out if he'll do the coronation in his new Gold House, or down at Mar-a-Lago.

I understand.  I have felt that way politically for some time now.  This is the end game manifestation of a lot of shit.  But as Biff noted football season is about to start so even those who disagree won't be very motivated to do anything about it.  Next few years are going to be pretty wild.  I've been reading some dystopian science fiction lately but I'm realizing no good science fiction at this point could be anything but dystopian.  See you in the factory or the mines soon.

Guard has the authority to detain, not arrest. Well they did. 

Hand over all those trouble makers straight to the FBI. Deport them to S. Dakota.

Yep. Black Marias are coming. There are quite a few federal facilities around DC. Perfect for camps. Like Arlington. Central courtyard at the Pentagon. Hell, we will lock them all up in the old USAID building. 3 per cube.

It’s going to be interesting when, as promised, all those obnoxious small government constitutional purists exercise their Second Amendment rights to fight tyranny.

Correction… *hand to ear, listening intently* I’m being told the small government zealots will instead be joining a boat parade in enthusiastic support of tyranny.

Still images can always look off but why does Patel's posture look so awkward. Is he simultaneously trying to puff out his chest while flexing his arms? I just stood up to attempt that pose and it felt strange.

Moose out front should have told you that it's their belief that only white people have a right to fight tyranny. Hence when there's a facebook rumor that the feds, under a Dem president, will send in fed troops to Texas, Abbott will send in Texas based troops to counteract it.

because he's a nobody who got elevated to high office because he's a political hack. Lots of fascist goons look like complete goofballs - simply because that's what they are.

I have never seen an image of him that doesn’t look awkward.

The funny thing about this is that MAGAts think it's because NYC is liberal.

But recall that until very recently, Trump was a Democrat, and pretty much the entire time he lived in NYC.

NYC hates him because they had to put up with his vainglorious ass for 30+ years and they know who he is.  The whole fascist thing is just icing on the cake.
