A rambling D.C. presser dressed up as crime control revealed a blueprint for federalizing police, flooding streets with troops, and selling authoritarianism with a fresh coat of asphalt.
This is indeed a dress rehearsal for the end times of US democracy. Where are our courts? When will the military start balking at these orders? Do we have ANY remedy for this???
I still haven't recovered from seeing the Oval Office awash with gold trinkets from God only knows where, especially on the fireplace surround identical to the one on the living room fireplace of my last home in Muskegon, MI, a Georgian Revival mansion built by a banker in 1911. Tramp is no longer a wannabe king/dictator. He has arrived and many thanks to Mary for keeping an eye on him so I can get some uneasy rest. Too much like Jonestown.
"A Republic if you can keep it" said Benjamin Franklin and we are closer to losing it than we ever have been in my lifetime. Even though the Founders thought they had established safeguards with the constitutional republic and elected representatives from every state with every state giving up certain enumerated powers delegated from the states to the Federal government. All other powers are reserved to the states or the people. Say what????? "No part of the government may infringe upon the rights of the people"! ???? Surely Donald Trump has stepped on and massacred the constitution . I grow weary of his face, his voice, and the people who surround him with praise. Martial Law is coming to a city near you soon. Where are the voices of sanity in our congress and courts?
So, are there solutions? Are there counter-moves ? On top are the assured poll droppings. This is what you voted for?
Did the founding fathers foresee this and insert a clause or two ‘if this happen then _ _ _ _ _’?
And just what are ‘all these gangs’ gonna do…? Stop their planned fentanyl/cocaine/whatever shipments? Surely the placements of military/assisted police are in the high crime areas, right?
If my shift starts at midnight do I need a special pass?
Federalizing the Washington, D.C. police force is a rehearsal for der Trumpenfuhrer's DOJ taking over cities who do not toe the line of his authoritarian agenda.
This takeover comes on the heels of der Trumpenfuhrer seeing homeless individuals and encampments as he traveled from the White House to his Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C. The takeover allows him to declare that homeless people represent a security and safety threat to the city and forcefully remove them. To where, nobody knows. Maybe he needs more prisoners in his Florida concentration camp.
In case one wondered, it’s here. Fascism. DC federalized? Sure, and as Mary suggests watch other cities. When Trump violated Posse Comitatus in LA, not a peep from Republicans. When Trump shook down law firms and universities, crickets. Tariffs? Nada. The corporations, well Apple got it “right.” Play nice, avoid tariffs. Texas gerrymandering? Sure. Whatever works. So Republicans hear me out: you are a traitor to our Constitution. We won’t forget.
Trump’s legal comfort zone has always been “I said it, so it’s fine.” Like telling Zelensky, “so what if ceding land is against your constitution, you’d better figure out a way *wink wink

Do you need to speak German to interact with the D.C. storm troopers?

Trump's Gestapo move was like watching a parody try to out-parody itself --

Most people in National Guard have "regular" jobs. Any news on how that's going over with employers or families who won't have paychecks to spend?

No more yoga for juvenile offenders? I guess in Trumpworld, yoga is reserved for sex offenders like Ghislaine Maxwell.
