Who is Antifa murdering these days? Human trafficking? Drugs? Bombings? wtf is this govt even talking about?

Centrist moderate authoritarianism. I’m going to need an example of such an authoritarian in existence.

Of course he is. There’s always room for more yes men dummies.

Waters wants so bad to be relevant and funny. He’s not but he really wants to be as popular and bow tie Tucker was. Waters is a Temu state tv taking head, not funny, not popular, and not relevant. His mother calling in was the only remarkable thing about his career.

Oh I’m not claiming it’s no big deal or that either this situation or McCarthyism aren’t terrible, and this is absolutely a worse situation. Right now a lot of people supporting all of this are in denial of how bad it is.

It’ll be like McCarthyism, it will be allowed to go way way too far, then in an instant it’ll be stopped, shunned and everyone will be repulsed by it. It‘s well on its way to the same fate.

I agree with that

It isn’t Ai, it’s a copypasta from a website, I added the source link when I posted it from where I copied pasted from. Go check for yourself instead of accusations maybe? But I hear you, it’s the way of the internet now, just proclaim random bullshit…

1. How the federal baseline creates a nationwide foundation — and what it covers

Federal law defines the uniform base pay and reserve drill pay that apply to National Guard soldiers when they are under federal status or performing federal drills and mobilizations; this baseline is updated year-to-year through military pay charts such as the 2025 and 2026 tables documenting paygrade and years-of-service increases. These federal charts determine pay for standard drills, active duty for training, and federal mobilizations, and they produce predictable, nationwide compensation calculations for those duty statuses, but they do not account for state-authorized supplements or state active-duty pay arrangements that alter what an individual Guard member ultimately receives [1] [2].

2. Where the variation occurs — state active duty and state supplements explained

States can place Guard members on state active duty for domestic missions and emergencies and can set pay rates and bonuses for those periods independently of federal pay rules, with some states offering higher per-day rates or supplementary payments to retain members and respond to local crises. Reporting shows that states like Maryland and Iowa have used state active-duty pay or back-pay mechanisms to increase compensation for Guardsmen during state missions, creating substantial disparitiesbetween states depending on budget choices, statutory authority, and policy priorities [3] [5].

3. Special pay rules and the federal-state split that produces complexity

Certain special pays and federally managed entitlements apply only when service members are under federal status; those benefits do not automatically transfer to state active-duty tours, leading to instances where state-paid Guardsmen receive less or different kinds of compensation for similar duties. The Army Benefits guidance and Defense Finance and Accounting Service documentation clarify that federal special pays are distinct from state compensation, thereby producing situations where a Guardsman’s benefits and incentives depend on the legal status of their duty — federal versus state [4].

4. Concrete examples showing how states can raise or delay pay — lessons from Iowa and Maryland

Historical and recent examples indicate states sometimes supplement or retroactively correct Guard pay. Iowa’s legislative action and federal Defense Authorization responses addressed back pay for extended deployments, while Maryland’s policy changes illustrate how states can increase pay for state-active missions to improve retention. These cases show that state political choices, legislative fixes, and budget authorizationsmaterially affect some Guardsmen’s earnings and that remedies have sometimes required federal or state legislative action [5] [3].

Except founding fathers specifically warned of the president doing this without actual real need and temporary measures. The constitution forbids what this administration wants to do and that’s the point, he wants to do things the constitution doesn’t allow him to do; and once he can overstep the document and the Supreme Court allows it, he can dismantle it completely and ignore all of it, and all citizens citizenry and rights are a favor of the king. The constitution is only as strong as its weakest least defended amendments.

It’s paying the soldiers, if he gets the Feds to do it, the Feds pay for it with federal tax money, u know blue state money. Then the dems pay to mow their lawns n stuff and they get the credit

Yes. Just before a shutdown again he called a recess early to avoid the Epstein files being released.

Ahahaha sure, sure, America also had like a hundred million people starve over the same time period, happened to everyone. Hahaha…
