Wednesday, October 29, 2025

President Trump told American troops assembled in Japan on Tuesday that he was prepared to send "more than the National Guard" into cities to enforce his crackdowns on crime and immigration, further escalating how he has talked about using the military at home and abroad.

President Trump told reporters Wednesday that he has the authority to send U.S. military forces beyond the National Guard into U.S. cities, claiming not even the courts could stop him, but said that hasn't been necessary so far.

The man's a dictator.

Argument?

His approval ratings continue to fall, and now even some of his fellow Republicans are starting to question his actions. His response, of course, is to double down and act even more insane. He's so far out of control that clearly he must be removed from office, but we have a nation of cowards.

It is probably even money that the federal Supreme Court will support Trump using federal troops in a Martial Law way. All Trump needs is a few fires and something he can declare as an insurrection. Scary times indeed.

Well, last year SCOTUS granted Old Yeller immunity which, together with some of its other more exotically reasoned decisions, pretty much makes him a king.

The violent crime rate in the U.S. is just under half of what it was in the early 90s.

"The violent crime rate in the U.S. is just under half of what it was in the early 90s."

That can't be right. They're eating the cats and dogs!
What I'm saying is, Republicans are immune to facts.

They want open War with "Liberals" and "Antifa".

I'm Convinced they're spoiling for a Fight so they can Repress Openly without having to mince around about it.

Open Hard Dictatorship.

That's their Goal.

Everything leads to consolidation of the State in Trump's tiny hands.

Like Kings of the Ancien' Regime.

Absolutism.

America is Better than that.

Or Was.

The Republicans are Totally Complicit

This could become like Yugoslavia.

California at War with The Fed and Red States, or any combination Imaginable.

The Fed at War with "Leftists"?, that's a wild one.

How is the Enemy Identified?

What constitutes Criminal Resistance?

Who does one Know if they are even Breaking the Law?

Trump Decides.

Is that the America we Want?

The Caliphate of Greed?

Trump as the Almighty Arbitor of Law?

The Worst part is they are sitting on enough Nukes to Destroy all Life on Earth 1000 times over.

Wake me up. Please.

The nation is about to crash, either into a Russia-style dictatorship or a Civil War, and the vast majority of the blame goes to TRUMP.
