Almost as if those soybean farmers complaining about China not buying them products could have been selling them to USAid… but here we find ourselves, being dragged by zealots down a path of misery poverty and barbarism, for what, some people to horde even more wealth?
The problem is that Trump will just pardon them… the only way for this to stop is if Congress takes its power of the purse back and turns off the money
But Trump will give $20 billion to Argentina to bail Rob Citrone’s shit bets, while Argentina makes a deal to sell about a million tons of soybeans to China
I’m not sure why he’s scared out of his mind, he’s holding the pepper ball gun and is supposed to be the “good guy”. Or maybe this isn’t going the way he was told it was, like ICE doesn’t properly train their agents. What would possess these men to sacrifice themselves for Trump?
So red states offer their young men to be taken from their families to “occupy” blue cities, while their homes are left to ruin by the Trump administration. How exactly does the GOP expect this to end?
Using Nixon’s racist legacy, and the Reagan era CIA poisoning of America’s inner cities to justify going to war… of course the incompetent Orange Russian asset is going to try to spill more American blood to try and save his own ass.
It’s a bit sticky with this being no precedent. But normally the State government would retain control of their Guard. Legless in Texas is happy to cede control for Trump’s chaos. But the UCMJ and Posse Comitatus still apply. So the only “policing” they can do is clean like in DC.
The insurrection didn’t stop on January 6th. Just been a slow burn until today and Trump and his cronies are doing everything they can to try and seize power while still trying to paint themselves as the “good guys”
Because it treads a narrow line between being able to do the job or having the boots filled by a treasonous yes man that will turn against the American people: uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r...
Being told to stand on a street corner to be used for political theater is not an illegal order. The UCMJ and Posse Comitatus are fucking clear about anything else. You think the Guard doesn’t know that Trump is going to fuck them on pay, as he does in DC?
The National Guard is not legally allowed to do police work. Out of the thousands of Guard deployed, despite the court orders to the contrary. There have been only two incidents, 1 guy cross some yellow tape in LA, and a car accident in DC.
The people who are supposed to doing their jobs holding the guardrails in place have abdicated their responsibility and betrayed their oaths for an emotional toddler with dementia that strokes out on live television.
