"It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make
inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.
Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it
"Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

In light of Judge Immergut's ruling, there's a lot of noise today coming from the President's advisers and supporters about courts not having the power to provide prospective relief against domestic uses of the military.

Via "One First," me on the rather significant early precedent to the contrary:
181. Courts and Domestic Use of the Military
In response to adverse judicial rulings, the President's advisers and supporters are claiming courts lack the power to halt domestic use of the military. A critical early precedent is to the contrary.

Time for Chicago to file a lawsuit.
The country needs a restraining order against Trump.

📌Trump's ugly, anti-American Mussolini act at Quantico Tuesday should have ended it for this sickening man.
You should never get a second chance at openly rallying our military against the citizens they are supposed to defend and serve.
Just incredible how much this treason is being minimized.
