Supposed to be…but not if Führer has his say.

He appointed Honey to be his “election integrity commissioner” (she tried to get 2020 overthrown &spread stolen election prop for him).

Pritzker accused him of militarizing elections so regime can take control of ballot boxes, report false results.

Aaron Rupar

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

So, they announce something, wait for outrage, decide it’s not gonna fly w MAGA base, walk it back. Repeat.🙄

You’re right, it’s tiring, but that’s the pt. Tired ppl don’t fight back, they check out.

So, going to keep watching &questioning. 🤷‍♀️This base could well be used to attack🇨🇦, it’s important.😣

Kegsbreath’s own words make it sound like joint agreement to fight together.🤷‍♀️

"location will host contingent of Qatari F-15s &pilots to enhance our combined training, *increase lethality*, inner-operability”.

&:“another ex of our *partnership*”

Signed security pact to protect them not long ago.

Occupy Democrats

BREAKING: MAGA world explodes with rage as Pete Hegseth makes the jaw-dropping announcement that Qatar will build an air force facility in Idaho and station their fighter planes on U.S. soil.
The Qataris bribed Trump with a private jet and now he's paying them back tenfold...
"And I'm also proud that today we're announcing or we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idadho,
," Defense Secretary Hegseth said while
sitting beside Qatari Defense Minister
Abdulrahman Al Thani.
"The location will host a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots to enhance our combined training, increase lethality, inner-operability. It's just another example of our partnership and I hope you know, Your Excellency, you can count on us."
Qatar is a close ally of China and the two have recently entered into what has been described as a "Golden Era" of strategic partnership.
Putting Qatari military facilities inside the United States is akin to stationing Chinese

Far-right provocateur, noted Trump ally, and virulent Islamophobe Laura Loomer had a meltdown on X over the air base announcement
"Never thought l'd see Republicans give terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil so they can murder Americans," she wrote. "I don't think I'll be voting in 2026. 1 cannot in good conscience make any excuses for the harboring of jihadis. "This is where I draw the line."
Other MAGA supporters had similar reactions all across social media. Even diehard Trump fans are having difficulty defending this decision.
This truly stunning announcement - which constitutes a profound betrayal of American national security interests - comes in the wake of the equally shocking announcement that Trump has signed an executive order promising to use the U.S. military to defend Qatar. It amounts to a security pact similar to NATO's Article 5, which interprets any attack on one member state as an attack on all. In other words, Trump has pledged to send American troops to fight and die if Qatar needs them.
On top of that arrangement, Trump announced in May that he would be accepting a $400 million Boeing 747-8 plane as a "free gift" from Qatar to use as Air Force One. Stripping the jet down and implementing the proper security measures will cost tax payers as much as $1 billion. It also seems highly likely that Trump will try to take the plane with him when he leaves office.

Un top of that arrangement, Irump announced in May that he would be accepting a $400 million Boeing 747-8 plane as a "free gift" from Qatar to use as Air Force One. Stripping the jet down and implementing the proper security measures will cost tax payers as much as $1 billion. It also seems highly likely that Trump will try to take the plane with him when he leaves office.
In April, the Trump Organization inked a deal to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar, assuring that even more Qatar money will flow into Trump's pockets.
Any single one of these corrupt Qatari deals would have brought down any other president, leading to impeachment and removal. Imagine the outrage if President Obama had greenlit plans to station the forces of a Muslim nation within our borders. But for Trump, blatant criminality and grift is expected at this point.

Actually, you make pt another insider just made- Kegsbreath apparently walked back base claim, saying he misspoke. It’s actually only fighter jet training co-operation.
You’d think head of DoWar would know to be precise &accurate reporting something of this magnitude.🙄

Misspoke or walked back? 🤔

Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York.

He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

How serious is BS abt 🇺🇸wanting to send troops/ICE (not clear which) into 🇨🇦to handle “border crime” in our sovereign country?

Like, we have🇺🇸military/NORAD here now, only 0.5% 🇺🇸fentanyl is fr🇨🇦, so what’s Führer on abt?🙄

Can 🇨🇦keep him out? Pref like Mexico when they said 🇺🇸military shot on sight?😜

My question too- given Leo, Thiel, Musk &DOGE Boy tinkering in election scanning, Sat connection &smart cord equipment thru ProV&V, ES&S, Eaton. Now acquiring huge voting machine co.

Seems real BAD for free &fair elections going forward.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

There's a larger play going on. ICE/slumlord coordinated rousting of tenants, damaging/stealing their stuff, destroying the bldg. so it's uninhabitable--triggering legal emergency evictions, jacked-up insurance claims & sale to developers.

Now, can’t vouch for source, but I did research it…all the sales, company owners &connections, the cords being smart (+plug &play), the updates &functions, Starlink, E&S connection ALL true. Lawsuits abt it currently in court too.

In fact, experts WARNED of this scenario for 2 yrs before election.😣

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

Führer’s turning military against his own citizens, calling them terrorists. Same for ally🇨🇦.
If HE’S fine w this, think Qatar’s going to balk at helping him *when* he asks? You don’t think this deal has already been made, quid pro quo?
This isn’t just a base, it’s back up if 🇺🇸military won’t comply.
