Have we ever seen the purportedly free press be this feeble?

When this admin fails, completely and utterly, every Republican will claim to have been a never Trumper

When the agents of the state are nearby American citizens must take refuge in doors. The spirit of 1776 is alive and well.

The economy will take care of that, the tech bubble will burst, the market will plummet, unemployment will explode and even casual Republican voters will defect.

Joshua Glover was spirited north by a group called the Wide Awakes, an anti slavery militia present throughout the North. Prior to the civil war it had become a commonly held belief in the south that slave catchers and federal Marshalls could no longer retrieve escaped slaves from Northern states.

Or how flimsy their own base of support is.

It shows regime weakness, the public response is getting to them.

I think it is true that this undemocratic neo fascist administration intends to seize power. I also think it's true that these imbeciles will almost certainly bungle the attempt.

That's unfortunately part of the strategy non violent resistance. The demonstrator risks their health well being freedom and too often their lives to expose their enemies for what they are. Every assault, every detention and every killing hurts and undermines both this admin and ICE.
January 26, 2026 at 8:12 PM
Or maybe some of them would be into that as well. Different strokes for different folks.

I bet they got plenty of old thompson

These nobs ignore this inconvenient reality. That the Trump admin fully supports settlement expansion and supports Israel just holding on to about 50% of the Gaza Strip indefinitely does not matter to them.

I mean if youre working within a legal framework, which is what 99.9999% of protestors are doing then what is the point of opsec? Some people watch way too many movies.

American Press: BeijingPalmer and Kraken offer differing takes on whether ship has been attacked.

A lot of people never interested in the ACW are reading up on Gettysburg right now.

Donald Trump could have a harem of ten year old boys in the white house basement and within a few days the standard GOP talking point would be that this is a symptom of eccentric genius and that pederasty has many merits.
January 26, 2026 at 3:17 PM
Todays GOP is one part Orwellian nightmare one part modern day answer to Brezhnevs CPSU. Loyalty to the party, no matter what, is the primary drive. To act publicly confused and to struggle in the face of the obvious, is for the modern Republican a radical profile in courage.

No there are a handful of people who get elected and prove to be assholes. Like John Fetterman who beat out the more reliably liberal and eminently more qualified Conor Lamb. Fetterman supposedly had common man appeal, at least to people who have never spent time among working class types.

Honestly mostly what they are doing is preventing a very small number of anarco goofers and LARPers from playing into ICE' hands. Minnesota is winning this thing going away right now. Trump's coalition is buckling right now and we are what a month into this mess? Stay the course, Minnesota strong.

Local PD does not have the manpower to confront ICE. There are plenty of cops who dislike ICE, more and more are starting to hate that agency. 3000 field agents and maybe 1500 local PD, county sheriff's deputies and state patrol. A lot of that number are admin, jail personnel, and desk types.
January 26, 2026 at 2:53 PM
But how? ICE agents outman local PD county sheriff and State Patrol combined. The national guard can be federalized with the stroke of a pen.
January 26, 2026 at 1:33 PM
There is no mechanism to do this

Some of these people are likely foreign agitators. Russian troll farms manufactured a lot of far left material during BLM while also generating a lot of Blue Lives matter crap simultaneously. Sowing chaos in the US is the goal.

The administration is already planning its next distraction, likely in Iran.
