To do what with it?

Purge their own administrations, presumably.

But all these people have their own friends, same as Gates and Musk and Jamie Daimon.

The only county Steven Miller doesn’t seem to mind holding dual citizenship

Average American logic process

But that’s murder!

Guy was showing off his Glock during a family get together and the gun discharged because he didn’t know how to handle it properly.

GJ chose not to indict on the charges the DA tried to bring.

people can’t accept Trump is GAY.

Cause there’s no evidence

Same reason he roots for his local football team

I am pretty sure his first wife admitted he was GAY

I really do wonder where people get this stuff, or why they need to put “GAY” in all caps

Martial law was not enacted via self-coup.

Martial Law was written into the Constitution by a billionaire Oligarch and his corrupt friends, specifically so he could leverage the fighting in the Donbas to secure his position indefinitely.

The Ukrainian executive did not wake up one nice morning, realize it had some kewl powers and thought let’s enact martial law

He needed an excuse to consolidate power, just like every other successful dictator.

explosive allegations

Soft farting sound

Oh well, anyway, GOP is trying to overhaul the nation’s voting laws again and the Dems haven’t stopped them. But this is exciting news, too

Given that the Roman Republic lasted for something like 480 years

Half a millennia of near endless military conquests and civil wars. What’s not to love?

Why is martial law currently in effect buddy?

Because your liberal reformists consolidated enormous powers in the executive branch. Again.

You keep giving governments the ability to end elections and entrench themselves indefinitely. That’s exactly what it will do, every time.

The GOP voted to take away the rights from almost every married woman in the country

No, they didn’t. This isn’t going to be enforced in heavily Republican districts where women are loyal conservative voters.

But your absolute confidence that it hasn’t happened

Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Proof

Romans extraordinarily appointed someone to have full authority to resolve a specific problem, such as when a serious threat the the state was present.

And how’d that work out?

The Ukrainian constitution says no elections while war.

While in a state of martial law. A constitution re-written as recently as 2015, the year following Ukrainian Oligarch Petro Poroshenko’s ascension to power.

You’re witnessing the end stages of the collapse of democracy in the country under a set of rules authorized barely a decade ago.

You think he’s chromosome-testing every trafficked woman on his private jets?

I don’t think it matters in any meaningful way. You’re pointing to court gossip like it affects national policy.

People will believe anything if the icon on the tweet looks authoritative and the grammar is sound.

I mean, pretty famously, we didn’t. Bad communication between agencies and poor airport security paved the way for 9/11. But given our intention of defunding just about every other federal agency, DHS’s domino was going to get knocked down eventually.

What’s more frustrating is that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill is effectively bankrolling CBP and ICE indefinitely. So we’re going to defund the bureaucratic administration while pumping billions of dollars into a Presidential paramilitary force.

Overall, more than 90% of the Department of Homeland Security’s 272,000 employees would continue working during a lapse, according to the agency’s September shutdown plan covering the first five days of an impasse. More than 93% of ICE and CBP workers would remain on the job.

Only about 44,500 staffers would continue to be paid through other appropriations, according to the shutdown plan. However, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said last fall that 70,000 law enforcement personnel, including in CBP, ICE and other divisions, would receive their paychecks.

So we’re putting the middle-management on furlough while the goons with the guns just get to run around snatching people, beating them, disappearing them, and executing them. And this is what we’re going to call a “shutdown”.

I bet Putin has video of Trump banging a guy

This is such a bizarre take, given that we have mountains of compromat released through the Epstein files, plus all his sex scandals dating back to the 1970s. None of them indicate that

a) He’s sexually attracted to men

or

b) Revealing any amount of his habitual pedophilia of women affects how he governs

Trump isn’t hard to control. Anyone and everyone with two shillings to rub together has been able to bribe him. But liberals need to believe he’s a closeted homosexual for some reason.

I mean, First Blood was loosely based on real-life World War II veteran Audie Murphy’s struggles with PTSD. And it was further informed by the deplorable treatment of protesters at the hands of local police and national guard - many of them returning veterans - during the Vietnam War. The original novel was intended to juxtapose this initial horrifying abuse of a homeless American veteran with the events happening half a world away by a US-sponsored dictatorship.

But reactionaries always forget the first film and fixate on the next four, because it lets Rambo embody the mythological special forces superhuman rather than the Vietcong revolutionary resisting imperial oppression.

Americans are bifurcated between “people who want to nuke Moscow” and “people who think Stepan Bandera didn’t go far enough”.

But just like with Vietnam, there’s vanishingly little compassion afforded anyone in the region. It’s all just “I hope more of the other team dies”
