If anyone seriously believes he will NOT declare martial law to stop the election when he is losing in 2028, ask yourself why not? And who will protest? And he will have the Fox propaganda machine to drown dissent, and dem politicians that will fold like a deck of cards.

Understand what they are doing: using the massive power of the state - including military power and the power to imprison - to carry out a campaign to eliminate their political opposition.

It's growing in seriousness by the hour.

Her contempt is extraordinary.

Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people.

And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

There have been a lot of those studies. Especially with the Covid vaccines. Tens of millions were left standing who wouldn't have been had they not taken the vaccine.

True. And that should be front page news everywhere. All it was was an op-ed in the Washington Post. And there should be strong position statements from all the major medical advocacy organizations. ACEP, IDSA, etc have not said a damned word.

She thinks health insurance is a “scam”, but (I’m assuming) is also against a single payer system. What pray tell would she propose as a healthcare system? Oh right, she thinks Covid was a scam created by the govt. So, I guess she thinks just stop govt from creating diseases is all. Got it.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

This is from Marge Greene.

You know who has been warning about this for months? Democrats.

But the people who had no plan to deal with this crisis and still don’t want you to believe this is about “illegals.”

Trump is too stupid and too lazy to develop “policy”. He has spent most of his presidency, in the last one as well, playing golf.

It’s because it doesn’t fucking work, Sharyl. Ivermectin doesn’t treat COVID.

There’s backlash for the same reason a doctor would face backlash for prescribing leeches for Ebola.
