Where is John Thune in all of this, or Bill Cassidy, or John Cornyn. Or any other “moderate” GOP Senator. Are they blind? No, they’re complicit. Our rights are being stripped by executive order and they sit with their heads below their desks.

I guess we are going to have to fight like mad to stop this fascist overtake of our country.

This calling-in of military officers has "coup" written all over it. As for being labeled an enemy of the state, if you so much as repost a meme about Donny Diapers - the DHS bots will find it. How? That's what DOGE was really doing. Installing monitoring systems to Big Brother the masses.

p.s. Don't you have to be a candidate to accept donations to a campaign fund? What's Kristi Noem running for?

Is it just a coincidence that Pete Hegseth has ordered all the top military brass to Washington on Tuesday? The government shutdown begins Wednesday morning at 12:01 AM. Why is all of the military leadership required to be in Washington the day before Congress shuts down the government?

I haven’t forgotten an online image of Hegseth sans shirt showing off White Supremacist tats and his touting of “installing” a “warrior culture” in the country’s military. My ex father-in-law a career Marine pilot would be cringing over his leadership role!

Let these fascist motherfuckers bring their best. There are a lot of us liberals who are just as well armed and ready to die on our feet before we live on our knees. And sorry for being late sharing your post Mary, as I was traveling today.

We are losing our country, or have already lost it, and all the GOP who think they get to ride the tiger are going to be lunch before long. Right after all the left-wing radical terrorists (y'know, us) have been jailed or killed.
