Trump signed an order to create a special "quick reaction force" in the National Guard for "quelling public disturbances" in every state in the U.S., on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
trump is looking for trouble & my guess is he will find it. WTF exactly is wrong with him.. & what happened to Mussolini? call your representatives daily & demand impeachment. God damn trump is a fkn troublemaker & threat & must be stopped. Stop him.
"Somebody ought to do something"" should be on America's tombstone and stamped on our money instead of in God we trust. The right did something. They voted and won. The left did nothing and staid home for some reason I absolutely cannot fathom.
This is the same criminal that didn’t want to call in national guard on January 6th. This military strategy to turn American military against its own citizens and is just next part of their Project 2025 agenda to turn the US into fascist dictatorial state.
We are now moving into the dangerous red zone of the dismantling of the democracy , due process & retribution . Now is the time for the Democrats to be more aggressive in their rhetoric…no more mincing words , go for the jugular . We , the People , need to have create a massive & continuing protest to demonstrate our disgust at this corrupted & fascist administration.
Niece Mary warned us several years ago of exactly this, “there will be no bottom”. The Supreme’s “Gang of Six” assured it with immunity ruling. R. controlled House is as worthwhile as teats on a bull. Far too many voters too apathetic or actually want this. Can’t quite examine the core issue, it’s too blinding WHITE, need sunglasses to peer in further.
WHITE, that's the word, Derrick. My eyes have really been opened to how racist America is and how content it is to be that way. It angers, saddens and scares me, especially as a person of color. WHITE is willing to trash America rather than share and get along with everyone else here or who wants to immigrate here. "It was all a lie," as Stuart Stevens said, because the national debt means nothing anymore, and neither does "family values" when they elected Drumpf twice, attempted to a third time in 2020, and will attempt again in 2028. WHITE got us into this mess and only enough of them will get us out of it. There are not enough POC to override them, at least not yet. That's why they want to silence and get rid of us.
Sakina. I wish you knew a non racist world here. I’m an old melanin challenged guy, none of my doing, happenstance born white as a dead fish’s underbelly. How lovely ! How special ! Do any of the 25% stop and think they are also happenstance pale as pale ? Yes. I was very naïve 2008 when we solidly elected first POC to our WH. The backlash began immediately. That 25% ain’t goin nowhere. Possibly 30%. They be throwing a fit over privilege leveled out to just closer to equality. They conflate that with discrimination aimed at them. Thick as planks, equality does not = discrimination. If we lived near we’d have us some doozies of chats ! We all gotta hang in there for a time. And do what we can to get off this upside down, parallel bizarro universe.
So sorry you have experienced the evil of racism, Sakina. I was foolish enough to believe it was pretty much finished when Obama became president. Was I ever wrong! Trump has appealed to people like him, with barrels of money and privilege, and other ignoramouses who have little and need a scapegoat. I grew up in a different time. I didn't see racism in my family. I played in the street with kids of different colors and ethnicities. I am happy I grew up then. Can't believe that now we're living in a dictatorship with an imbecile at the helm.
Thanks, Donnab! I can't believe it, either. Knowing the history of America and how far we had progressed, I am disheartened by the backwards trajectory. Frankly, the death of our democratic republic began with a death by a thousand cuts after the FDR years, but now Magats have taken machetes and AR-15s to the remaining progress. You can bet that after they've decimated people of color, they will come after everyone else except for wealthy, White, straight, faux Christian men.
He will go after Dems, too. Guess a lot of us are in trouble. Women are only good for homemaking and producing babies. We senior women aren't worth much.
I am extremely grateful for melanin challenged people like you, Michelangelo, and others on this platform. I was ranting a bit earlier and I hope you know that I am not lumping the good in with the bad. I am convinced that everything will have to go to hell for some of them to get a clue and try to right the ship, maybe. Would love to chat in person, too. Google shows many miles between MD and MN.
Patriotic soldiers that are in the National Guard need to resign. Can they do that? They know this is wrong. Are they willing to be a part of this coup? There are veterans who are standing up against this, are they going to face them? Are they really willing to shoot civilians if Trump tells them to? The Republican Congress has a lot to answer for. The resistance can't wait for the next election. By then it may be too late.
Surely we are doomed. There is no stopping the obvious coup he is setting us up for. There will never be another free and fair election or any public protests.
We need a "quick reaction force" to quell all the criminal activity at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Any Democrat who does not make ripping out by root and branch every remnant of this immoral, lawless and felonious administration an integral part of their campaign for office will get absolutely no support from me.
America, and definitely the press refuses to see how many hostile violent Americans there are and the banality of evil the Nazis were famous for in our own country. The fear this could happen again because the people chose it is too hard to face.
Surely some republicans, if only a few, like Rand Paul, will oppose this. Just look through the lens of "if Obama had done it." Disgusting times we are living through. And of course he does this when many of the talk show hosts are on vacation.
Thr Republicans would have screamed bloody murder if Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden had done these things; and they never did.
trump, however, is the Republicans' man, and in their minds, he can do no wrong; therefore, they are perfectly content to take off the leash and let him do his own thing.

We would probably be the Unwomen in The Handmaid's Tale.

He is a Putin’s puppet taking over the US from within.
They want another Kent State.

...with the love and support of the supreme court's majority. 🤮
I am trying to imagine how all or most of the National Guard feel about this. Can they just call in sick when this happens?
