Donald Trump Says He’s Deploying National Guard In D.C., Placing Metropolitan Police Under Federal Control
Epstein
Nailed him. Surely he will stop doing facism now.
Don’t underestimate how much he wants to get rid of the protesters he personally has to see
Also
Remember when he claimed he couldn't call the national guard into DC during Jan 6?
Child rapist. I fucking knew it was only a matter of time before this headline appeared.
This is Martial Law.
For 800 homeless people? I know he wants them to suffer and divert attention but it'd probably be cheaper and easier just to build each of them a house.. he'd even actually create some genuine jobs for once. It could be a national movement of solidarity and job creation. He could call it "the Trump Fil..". Oh no..
For 800 homeless people?
The homeless are just his excuse to position the military in the capital for his coup.
Treason
It isn't about crime and everyone knows it.
He plans to use this force to keep himself in power when his base and entourage will inevitably turn against him. Between the Epstein files and the impeding collapse of the economy and inflation some, he knows it's coming. He is terrified.
This is way too optimistic. More likely, it's a test case for federal takeover of blue cities elsewhere (in red states especially), and to serve as an example to scare mayors into getting in line.
This is like... Super fucking bad. We are in deep. We were so primed for fascism, that it literally took less than 8 months to become nearly full authoritarian.
It isn't about crime and everyone knows it.
But everyone is just going to let it happen.
Sure it is. Just like how tariffs against Canada are about fentanyl…. /s
Epstein its mostly about keeping eyes away from discussing epstein. he also has been avoiding anyone talking about epstein as much as possible.
Trump is very protective of his young boy servants. He does not want anyone to steal one.
WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?
"When you're famous, they let you do it"
Yes, his is fascism and should not happen.
However...I do think that the left lives in a bubble sometimes, and fail to get tracking amongst the working class. Working class people really do want proper police protection, and deserve it.
Sure crime statistics are down, but everything has become very uncomfortable. Some homeless guy gets on the bus, drunk, with his stained clothing inside out, and maybe on drugs and now you have to worry if they are going to stab you.
Yes, police should not harass homeless people, but now you have 20 average people on the bus worried that they'll be stabbed. This mild level of anxiety is constant.
The left has asked the working class to take on a disproportionate amount of burden, yes it's better to have out treatment for addiction, and not arrest the unhoused, but the working and lower middle class do feel the pinch of this policy affecting them.
The working class, blue collar residents, see Trump make these proclamations and desperately hope something breaks in their favor. It won't Trump is not a capable manager.
The left isn't asking the working class to take on any burdens, or ignore problems. Perhaps you're thinking of liberals? The left is constantly pointing at the root causes of these problems, and begging people to turn their anger towards the people responsible, rather than those most victimized by the system.
That is a correct read and more accurate. These are policies of the Democrats, not a guiding principle of the left.
Damn, there is a homeless guy on a bus, let's do fascism I guess
The left has asked the working class to take on a disproportionate amount of burden
As has the right, this is because our options are theocratic or secular plutocracy, both are pro-corporate/billionaire
Democrats abandoned labor long ago, and Republicans never have been pro labor in my lifetime.
If it's only one guy, and not a bus full, then that's demonstrative of progress. Go look at the MTA back in the 80s, when whole gangs roved the system. It hasn't "become uncomfortable", it's become more comfortable and safer.
AKA Coup.
He must be constantly thinking about epstein if hes doing this. its driving him insane.
And here we go
awww. nazi gonna nazi. I hope all nazis follow their leader.
The fbi was a den of corruption last year
If you don’t take off the uniform and quit, you’re a Gestapo agent.
Refuse. Unlawful. Orders.
If sanity ever returns to your country, you don't want to be on the wrong side.
If a masked person enters my property and refuses to show identification, I will absolutely be practicing self-defense.
I have a feeling that Maga is strongly represented in all armed forces..
National Guard is a branch of the army isn’t it? I’m not sure you can just quit. AWOL? Maybe. If you’re close to your end date you can choose not to continue. But quit? Don’t think army works like that
Just tell them you're trans or gay
This isn't russia, AWOL means forefitting benefits and possibly sitting in jail for a bit. Juggling between the consequences of AWOL or carrying out nazi orders, I know what my choice would be.
You can’t just leave your badge on the desk and walk out like in movies, either.
But being punished for abandoning your post might be the only other alternative to being a brute in the service of a dictator.
The Army and law enforcement of DC will decide in whatever direction their personal characters leans them towards.
“I can change THE system from THE inside!!1”
No, you can’t. Run. The tribunals that you will face after Trump is arrested or killed will not be kind to you.
