Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?

The father of the female guardsperson says his daughter will not survive her injuries.

Now he can now flood the city with troops.

To do what? Search for the guy they have in custody?

There have been large "IMPEACH" demonstrations on the mall all week. I'm sure Rump would love any excuse to break them up.

To incite violence. He wants violence so that he can have his military use their guns.

Recall he wanted to have BLM protesters shot - even if just in the leg.

Perhaps he thinks that if there is violence he can declare Martial Law across the country and suspend elections. I don't know what putrid ideas he may have but they are putrid.

While I __do__ think, this event makes people legitimately angry, it's also being used to further an agenda. From here:

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

It's the last part of the quote: "remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States." How many times removed is that from going after the guy who is already in custody?

Well, at my stage in life I'm not much of an asset to the US, so I should skedaddle.

Trump is one of the biggest detriment to the quality of life in America.
He should be “skedaddled”.
Alligator Alcatraz would be a good choice.

Nearly two thirds of young Americans are considering leaving the US

Last year, 41 percent of U.S. adults reported considering moving abroad but this year the figure is substantially higher.

If I could afford it I'd leave as soon as possible.

 

[scombrid]

Of course people want to leave. Somali immigrants stole everything.

Demonizing people as vermin because they are immigrants is an extremist view. Extremist views from the left is also a thing.

Yeah - dehumanzing people is a right wing pursuit, and humanizing trees is a left wing pursuit.
Quite equivalent, to anyone looking to excuse the dehumanizing of people.

 

[Elixir]

Of course conservatives also have feelings.

Do they fuck their feelings?

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Yeah leftists are so intolerant of things like *checks notes* demonizing people as "vermin" because they're immigrants. The horror. Truly an example of pathological extremism.

Any American who disagrees with Trump can publicly voice that opinion and won't get arrested. Or risk any social repurcussian really. There's even a tolerated opposing political party, that conceivably can win next election.

So I am not sure what you think you have proven by posting that video?

He's a moron. Not a fascist

 

[DrZoidberg]

Here's a good movie scene showing Mussolini addressing the Italian parliament. This really happened. Trump has not done anything like this




Here's another one, Saddam purging the parliament of anyone who ever criticised him.

Not even close to anything Trump has done.

Trump FBI HUMILIATED

 

[GenesisNemesis]

*Points out the Nazis treated immigrants inhumanely too and made the same excuses, *

(And also they're not being outright slaughtered so it's totally fine how they're being treated. Or something).

The right: "that's not Nazi-like! Stop bringing up Nazis! You're mentally ill!"

Piece o Garbage thinks that he can pardon a Colorado town clerk who was convicted under Colorado law in Colorado court of tampering with voting machines to tip the election to Piece o Shit in 2020.

He is so evil

President Trump’s pledge to pardon Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk convicted of tampering with voting machines, touched off a new battle on Friday over the fate of perhaps the last high-profile 2020 election denier still behind bars.

Democratic leaders in Colorado dismissed the pardon as an empty attempt to bully a Democratic state into freeing one of the president’s political allies. They argued that Mr. Trump had no legal power to overturn Ms. Peters’ conviction in state court.

“There’s no legal merit,” Attorney General Phil Weiser of Colorado, a Democrat, said in an interview on Friday.

...

Legal scholars and Colorado officials were incredulous. They said the notion that the president could intervene in state courts clashed with the plain language of the Constitution, as well as its fundamental principles of federalism and states’ rights.

“This is so far beyond the pale,” Mr. Weiser, the attorney general, said. “No one has thought to do this because it is so clearly against our constitutional system of government.”

Perhaps he will pressure Colorado next, like he has pressured Indiana. I don't see why not. He has no boundaries on how much power he thinks he has.
