For 800 homeless people? I know he wants them to suffer and divert attention but it’d probably be cheaper and easier just to build each of them a house… he’d even actually create some genuine jobs for once. It could be a national movement of solidarity and job creation. He could call it “the Trump Fil…”. Oh no…
For 800 homeless people?
The homeless are just his excuse to position the military in the capital for his coup.
Release the Trump-Epstein files
And the fascism escalates.
I don’t think god exists. I keep telling you all. This is your very first and last life you’re ever going to have.
For that reason, I’m in the couch trying to not toast alive in my house.
I bet people in other lesser countries like Mexico people are suffering incredible hardship that is unimaginably worse than ours. If only there was a body of people organized for the purpose of helping us all!
Anyway, if anyone needs me I’ll be found in my living room within the sweaty damp area.
Child rapist. I fucking knew it was only a matter of time before this headline appeared.
He must be constantly thinking about epstein if hes doing this. its driving him insane.
Trump is very protective of his young boy servants. He does not want anyone to steal one.
Remember when he claimed he couldn’t call the national guard into DC during Jan 6?
“When you’re famous, they let you do it”
Treason
If you don’t take off the uniform and quit, you’re a Gestapo agent.
I have a feeling that Maga is strongly represented in all armed forces…
Refuse. Unlawful. Orders.
If sanity ever returns to your country, you don’t want to be on the wrong side.
If a masked person enters my property and refuses to show identification, I will absolutely be practicing self-defense.
Do it just like the Founding Fathers intended:
TIL bayonet wounds are triangle shaped.
They were triangular for ease of manufacture, they were also stronger that way. They didn’t need to be particularly slicey, they were pretty much just for pointy stabbies. So a triangular blade would do.
I believe the triangular bayonets are against the Geneva Convention rules of war now chiefly because of their lethality.
3 things. First it’s a myth that triangular bayonets are banned under the geneva conventions. Only serrated bayonets are illegal. Secondly it wouldn’t make sense to ban something in war because it’s “more lethal”. That’s like the whole point of war. Serrated blades are banned because they cause undue suffering. Third, the geneva conventions only apply to humanitarian treatment at war. Governments are free to do what they want to their citizens according to international law. It’s why tear gas is banned for warfare via the geneva conventions yet police can gas the shit out of protestors.
Nitpick: the Geneva conventions apply for all kinds of conflicts, including domestic ones. However, tear gas is allowed for riot control in policing.
The reason it’s banned in war is because if the other side sees you using chemical weapons, they might respond with their own, but the bad ones, like nerve gas. In riot control, that isn’t going to happen.
Yes, it was the “undue suffering” component that I was thinking of. Thanks for the clarification. What was the reason to do away with them then? They went to flat blades, didn’t they? Not sure if bayonets are even current issue for armies any longer. Are they?
The US aren’t concerned with conventions, are they? I mean they use cluster ammunition, depleted uranium ammunition etc…
Good thing we aren’t an army.
O please. Get a grip. You’ll get yourself shot. Or you’ll shot a cop, and give an excuse for even more violence and state repression. Individuals can’t fight their way out of repressive regimes.
Get a camera, set it to record to a remote location, preferable a data center in another country. What we really need are tech volunteers to start setting up these types of digital cameras in ethnic neighborhoods to document what is happening.
Document it for whom and what?
Individuals can’t fight their way out of repressive regimes.
Where did you hear this? You are flat-out wrong, thousands of examples prove this statement to be totally untrue.
Also, there’s usually much more to it than simply fighting, it’s rarely “peaceful protest” or “fighting” alone.
Individuals can’t fight their way out of repressive regimes.
The same army we would be fighting got their asses handed to them by insurgents in Vietnam and Afghanistan
Individuals can’t fight their way out of repressive regimes.
But they can film their way out of one?

Happy to lend tech expertise where needed, let me know
-
If an unidentified masked person is harassing me on my property I’m not just going to let it happen but make sure it is recorded.

National Guard is a branch of the army isn’t it? I’m not sure you can just quit. AWOL? Maybe. If you’re close to your end date you can choose not to continue. But quit? Don’t think army works like that
Just tell them you’re trans or gay
laughs in M.A.S.H.
“Section 8, here I come!”
This isn’t russia, AWOL means forefitting benefits and possibly sitting in jail for a bit. Juggling between the consequences of AWOL or carrying out nazi orders, I know what my choice would be.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and bet your not the type to join the Armed Forces in the first place. -No offense (I’m not either) I say this because I think the type of person that’s anti-war enough to opt for jail over carrying out nazi orders is the same type of person that knows better than to ever find themselves in a position to make this decision. If I’m wrong, I welcome your corrections.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t go AWOL. I’m saying you can’t just quit
neat.
remember anyone who joined did so willingly as we are 100% volunteers in the US.
If you find yourself waking up to the facts of the regime you volunteered for, good! if you are unwilling to lose benefits or do some time, then you’re not yet awake enough to really care.
remember: you may have joined due to propaganda and agitation, and you may not be able to awol because of capitalism.
the very same “ism” that profits from the military action.
You can’t just leave your badge on the desk and walk out like in movies, either.
But being punished for abandoning your post might be the only other alternative to being a brute in the service of a dictator.
The Army and law enforcement of DC will decide in whatever direction their personal characters leans them towards.
“I can change THE system from THE inside!!1”
No, you can’t. Run. The tribunals that you will face after Trump is arrested or killed will not be kind to you.
So funny story, I had a coworker basically up and walk out like in the movies. So I mean, you kind of can.
Meaning not without legal repercussions. You have to be formally discharged in both services.
But hey, law and common sense appear to be clean out the window in America now so, go nuts!
Never heard about any legal percussions. Supposedly he can’t come back though
This is Martial Law.
Epstein
Don’t underestimate how much he wants to get rid of the protesters he personally has to see
Also
Nailed him. Surely he will stop doing facism now.
Fascist bullshit.
Are Americans going to do anything to resist, or is the frog going to keep sitting in boiling water?
You already know that answer.
I see protesters every day.
That’s not good enough! /s
Did they actually achieve anything? Protest is a nice tool, but there is a place and a time, and seems like at this particular time this tool doesn’t fit the place
No. It’s gonna have to get bad before any real violent resistance begins here. Like food riots bad.
We are the most propagandized nation on the planet. We’re practically bred to be docile slaves. Indoctrinated from the age of 5.
I guess that depends on what you think qualifies as an achievement? So far we’ve had at least two massive protests and the local small protests that I see daily. Is “getting the message out” in person and expanding an achievement to you?
I don’t think the protestors will achieve any real success like getting Trump out of office, but people are definitely protesting peacefully.
I don’t think it will work but time will tell
It isn’t about crime and everyone knows it.
He plans to use this force to keep himself in power when his base and entourage will inevitably turn against him. Between the Epstein files and the impeding collapse of the economy and inflation some, he knows it’s coming. He is terrified.
Epstein its mostly about keeping eyes away from discussing epstein. he also has been avoiding anyone talking about epstein as much as possible.
This is way too optimistic. More likely, it’s a test case for federal takeover of blue cities elsewhere (in red states especially), and to serve as an example to scare mayors into getting in line.
This is like… Super fucking bad. We are in deep. We were so primed for fascism, that it literally took less than 8 months to become nearly full authoritarian.
It isn’t about crime and everyone knows it.
But everyone is just going to let it happen.
Sure it is. Just like how tariffs against Canada are about fentanyl…. /s
