Empires are not built to help the common people.

nah it has to be a full consensus action.. with a full plan covering what might happen.

Deploying troops fully armed without a plan .. Walz would be accountable for anyone killed.

the threat to deploy alone could get ICE to back off

can the state ban ICE from activities in the state? or would Federal power have more sway? idk .. likely the Fed courts would support Trump? (which would be crazy)

that is indeed a wonder. . & i wonder why more historians don't focus on wealth and power as it is inwardly supportive of its own society , while also being financially sound..

rather than just a gun exporting despot supporting cult of extremists & materialists with no soul lol

I suspect it's just a "dick contest" because it's not about just being obscenely wealthy.
