His mouth definitely got ahead of his brain.

Whoof.

Nothing like having your fascist lawyer-handler screaming in your earpiece to "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" to give you that deer-in-the-headlights stare, eh?

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.

They let him reshoot the segment and then scrubbed this version off of their site.

People learned some brand new shit at 10:48AM. Thank AOC for getting under his skin enough to make the mistake.

... and Title 10 gives the president the power to invoke the Insurrection Act & override posse comitatus. Which is what these fascist fucks are planning to do.
But here's the thing: there is no insurrection - yet.
They're sending the Guard & ICE thugs into our cities *to incite an insurrection*

Can't make Larry and Keith Ellison angry. They sign his paycheck.

Weren't they all supposedly Antifa? I remember that line going around quite a bit back on the hellsite.

Someone else caught him saying this as well.

Not much, just Temu Goebbels giving away their plan of creating a direct dictatorship. Move along, citizen.

Dude caught himself slipping up just a second too late and he didn't know how to recover. So he just sat there.

FYI Early Expansion (1933-1935): After the Nazis took power in 1933, the army began to expand, initially using cover names for its growing divisions.

“ICE” . . Etc

It's a slip up because it's not something he should have said in the middle of the day on CNN of all places. This is a behind closed doors conversation that he brought into the open. Now everyone knows what his plans are, even if they didn't pay attention to Project 2025.

It was a big part of Project 2025.

Plenary authority means complete, absolute, and unqualified power to act on a particular issue or within a specific domain, without significant limitations. The term emphasizes that the power is full and encompasses all aspects of the matter.

So, Authoritarianism

Possibly, but as an epileptic I am pretty good about spotting these things especially after the "COVID vaccines give you seizures" bullshit on TikTok and Twitter a few years back.

Very good point.

Meanwhile, he snuck in a significant lie before the "plenary" comment. As the District judge carefully explained, the case in Portland was *not* identical to the LA one, in large part because the protests that Miller wanted to use as BS pretext for deploying the NG had died down to almost nothing.
