And all Trump can talk about is building projects. I think because it’s familiar and he feels safe when talking about it.

Damned plausible is what it is.

Please keep an eye on us. We have a lot of history with THP, the national guard and race relations.

There is full political buy in. What happens here will probably be a blueprint.

This seems to be the 30,000 number, but it looks like it’s mostly a nebulous increase in most other places.

It’s all over the Wikipedia and stuff.

I’m pretty sure well round up the homeless next, but nobody outside really has any idea what’s going on.

Though, I guess political prisoners might make sense too. We already use it for stuff that is not completely in alignment with our values.

Hell, Trump’s homies may get paid even if nobody ever goes there.

I cruised reddit the other day and was surprised at the boomer sexism all over the page.

I can’t help but feel nervous when world leaders start talking about and confounding Israel/Jewish people, especially with the rise in authoritarian politics.

I don’t think I have a certain fear, but I worry about strong emotions/race/and politicians.

God gives grace to those he blesses, or something idk.

I’ve actually been in a US Southern megachurch, that “interpreted” that verse.

They went on about how certain gates were called needles and camels fit through very nicely, they just had a different gate, maybe put down their stuff first.

I just remembered the gist: obey and God gives you stuff, your stuff is a symbol of your piety and proof that you are one of God’s chosen.

Not declined military, but there have been a real significant shift to special forces. I think these groups will still be utilized for foreign industry interest. It’s pretty effective.

Ironically, assuming we don’t destroy our own infrastructure, a modern police state might better fit for the lionshare of US military. Lack of infrastructure and basic services were a huge part of the reconstruction or whatever failing in both states. Plus air superiority just comes free.

Anti-insurgency and occupation are really the only thing the military at large has proved itself capable of supporting.

I don’t think we have the capacity to invade hold, and strip mine Venezuela, but with Europe looking East, I guess we could shift to a wartime economy and make it a project.

Yeah, maybe nobody is sure what she believes, but she does believe it and that’s almost refreshing.

They just have so many people. They could replace entire major foreign industries and still have people left over.

Couple that with a government willing to do whatever infrastructure and monitary policy and you end up with a ton of growth.

The US may have just had a corporate takeover and will end probably end up looking more like China or Russia going forward.

There are a lot of natural resources here and if you’re not particularly concerned with the local environment or economy, you could probably get a lot done.

I also can’t imagine a future without China having the largest consumer class going forward and that probably represents a valuable market.

Yeah, even the Iran thing was a bit bungled. Gaza makes sense, a more right sized target.

might just be a power move. Do this once or twice, just to demonstrate obedience.

You can have all the freedom you want, as long as your not dumb enough to actually try it

That does sound fascinating. I’d imagine stress would play a roll.

Those Epstein files though.

I think we should also point out the Google drive link.

I’m on enough lists

Don’t you know who I am?

Ouch, my liver

I still can’t believe they let that guy go

That is the one racism that cannot be.
