The totalitarian nightmare is here. No need for troops to occupy every city. Massive federal police forces, the total cooperation of the ruling party, and a loyal Supreme Court have ushered in a dictatorship. Cooperative red state governments, police forces, and national guards are icing.

No bailouts for farmers. Most of them are Pro-Trump hardcore MAGA millionaires who new Trump would start a trade war. They expect a bail out. They expect free government money.

Stephen Miller and the Trump regime are deliberately provoking violence in American cities so they can blame it on a vast terrorist conspiracy of “Antifa” and “radical left Democrats.”

The plan is clear—but is it a “false flag” if they tell you?

Is It a “False Flag” If They Tell You?

Historically, people who want to overthrow a government usually try to hide it.

Utah's MAGA GOP legislature is truly desperate to nullify the votes of Democrats who are concentrated in and around Salt Lake City. They know the GOP will lose. So they have to break the law to keep that from happening.

Republican Senators could change the rules to allow them to end the shutdown with 51 votes. But they won't. Instead, they're trying to blackmail and bludgeon Democratic senators into joining them. Why? The CR is a toxic jumble of garbage that will hurt Americans. They want Ds to share the blame.

Functionally, America is a war zone. It's not just the daily threat of falling victim to a mass shooter. You could be beaten up by ICE. Or an idiot cop, like the one here, could decide you're brandishing a gun even though you're just pumping gas. This man is super lucky the cop didn't shoot him.

Bondi got her job because she's Trump's lawyer—and he made her his lawyer because she was willing to take a bribe to drop the Trump University case. The only reason this person is on TV today is because she is corrupt, willing to commit federal crimes, and will lie for Trump. All America knows this.

Admit nothing. Deny everything. Make counter accusations. The classic CIA dodge is now a standard MAGA tool for avoiding having to reveal themselves as frauds and crooks.

Admit nothing. Deny everything. Make counter accusations. Those three sentences are the Trump GOP playbook. A MAGA will never provide a truthful answer, except by accident or coincidence.

The Trump 6 took up this case so they can strike down the law. That's it. Whether or not the law is constitutional is irrelevant because Constitutional Law is now irrelevant. The Supreme Court is now a pure political body.

Might seem odd that there is talk of a Trump pardon for one of the most notorious sex traffickers of the last 50 years. But it's really not. Trump is a sexual predator and trafficker, the GOP is stacked with pedos, and the Bible tells evangelical men it's okay to bed 13-year-old girls.

Make the shutdown about more than just health care subsidies. Democrats shouldn't consider voting to end the shutdown unless and until Trump recalls all Marines and soldiers and ends National Guard deployments to Blue States and cities. Also, ironclad pledge of no future deployments.

I've seen pieces arguing martial law is impossible because the USA is too large, armies are terrible at holding territory, etc. BS. No need for military on every block. Just a ready willingness to violently arrest dissenters + cooperation of informants. Consider every MAGA a potential informant.

Trump and Miller are euthanizing the political system that made the USA the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of the world. They are ending the freedoms Americans have enjoyed for 248 years. It's time for a protest so big they can't ignore it. Make Trump and Miller angry and scared.

As part of the GOP's war on the working class, the orange goblin is withholding pay from our nation's war fighters. Trump is not a friend of the military.

The nation is hanging by a thread. But if Trump, with the blessing of the Supreme Court and the GOP Congress, does deploy the 82nd Airborne on US soil, then the land of the free and the home of the brave will have ceased to exist. The question will be what comes next.
