Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

Ty Cobb, ex trump attorney, just said on The Beat that he thinks trump WILL invoke the Insurrection Act and there’s little in place to stop him. If this occurs will there be an uprising?

Antifa is the abridged form of antifascist, so your forebears who fought Hitler, Franco, Mussolini or any fascist dictatorship in the 20th century, every single one was Antifa. So, as hard as you may find it to grasp, to oppose Antifa is to oppose democracy, and put a noose around your own neck.
