We are at the point where it is completely legitimate to wonder...

Who will be the first:

- American citizen
- student activist
- journalist
- college professor
- lawyer
- Democrat politician

To be deported to a foreign prison?

Now that she has indicted Comey and James, the question I have is:

How long until she is disbarred?

It's going to be funny when both indictments get thrown out because she was improperly appointed and has no authority.

Getting rid of the Shadow Docket should be a priority for any Democrat led Congress.

And, the next time they control Congress and the Presidency, expand the Court to 13 justices.

I think it's hilarious that all these Cabinet people are traveling around with their own film crews making videos to send to Donnie.

Truly the Reality Show presidency.

Claiming this is a "dangerous insurrection" just makes these people look like the biggest cowards that ever lived.

It's completely justified to mock Noem for her comments about "antifa."

But, we should also be scared as hell that the person responsible for protecting the country from people or organizations who want to do us harm might actually believe all that nonsense.

We are in real danger.

I dare them to actually release any of the test results.

You know, it doesn't make you look "strong" to deploy the National Guard to suppress a bunch of people dancing in costumes.

It just makes you look like some 3-year-old who wet their pants when they saw a clown for the first time.

A bunch of people who are grossly unqualified for the high paying jobs given to them by Trump are so grateful that they humiliate themselves to keep those jobs.

Is this really surprising?

Eric Foltz @ericfoltz.bsky.social · 17h

Yes, Trump got the Covid Vaccine during his checkup.

You're being lied to MAGAs.

There is a brilliance to this that can't be underestimated.

If the protesters showed up in body armor, helmets and masks, it would be easier for Trump and his accomplices to claim they are terrorists.

If they start beating up people dancing in costumes, they will just look like violent thugs.

If they are training, those aircraft will be armed at times.

Twenty years of "friendly" forces turning against our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and now we're going to let pilots from a Muslim Country fly armed fighter jets in American airspace?

How long until one of them takes aim at a city?

Eric Foltz @ericfoltz.bsky.social · 1d

It's not like any of these Muslim pilots might be extremists and decide to aim one of their planes at an American Building.

You'd think that after 20 years of having "friendly" troops fire on and bomb American Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, we'd have learned a fcking lesson or two.

He's announcing an undercover operation in a tweet?

These idiots just do not understand the concept of OPSEC (Operational Security).

WTF?

What possible reason could there be for Qatar to need an airbase in Idaho?

Do the sheiks need a secure private runway when they vacation in Sun Valley?

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

At some point, the National Guard Generals need to realize that when multiple courts hand down decisions saying that the deployments to American Cities are illegal, the orders themselves are illegal and they have an obligation to defy them.
