Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

[Carolina Fever]

There was a pretty big protest outside the White House this evening. DC cops had paddy wagons lined up ready to go a couple of blocks from there.

Trump will have them pepper sprayed like he did his last term.

 

[superrific]

LOL nobody cares about protests.

 

[Carolina Fever]

Hey MAGA, did you vote for ethnic cleansing? 'Cause that's what you're getting. Ethnic cleansing.

Majority of them wouldn't mind it.

Depends on how the protests go, and how the government responds to them.

 

[sringwal]

I would actually say that a lot is going to ride on the protests of next few days, and none of it good.

It might be the only way to get things changed. Well, if enough Pubs care if Trump starts ordering people shot. Guess we would see if they have a soul or not.

Sounds like they're channeling Sam Kenison's u haul joke.

My money says they don't.

My instinct is that many on Team Trump are waiting for a chance to use protests to declare emergency powers but THAT will blow up into real protests. But who knows.

Followed shortly by civil war?!?? I can’t believe how close to edge of insanity we are.

It's congress protesting. If Congress doesn't have any power to do anything other than protest, wtf.

I would agree.

 

[BlooVooDoo]

Saw a cybertruck on the way to work this morning. It had obviously been through a car wash. One of the wheel covers was warped like an LP left on the dash of car in the summer sun.

Das Volk <> "the people" and we know exactly which one of those the fascists always mean.

Good point.

 

[HeelYeah2012]

I still haven't gotten past ChileG counting paper losses in his 401k from a single day as money Trump "cost him"

There is no organized and armed body to fight against the US military. This isn't Afghanistan where the culture, language, backwoods paths, caves, and supply trains all favored the Taliban.

ttump et al. are 100% looking for a false flag moment or trumped up "violent left wing mob" to instigate the repression. They're pulling straight from the Mussolini, Hitler, and Putin playbooks.

 

[Ramrouser]

Wow, something at last motivated federal workers out of their houses to come into DC. Progress.

This is always what folks think but revolutions happen. There are 2.9 million Americans under arms. There are 336 million Americans. Certainly some of those civilians support Trump and certainly some of the military don't but if it was just civilians against military, the military would lose handily.
