Yep, same. I am continuously baffled at people who are surprised when the regime does something wildly illegal and outside of their jurisdiction. The question is no longer “who’s going to let them”. The question has become “who’s going to stop them”, and the answer thus far, in the context of any part of our officialdom, is “absolutely fucking nobody”.

I’m thinking that if ICE et al keeps this up, pretty soon random people are gonna start taking sneaky potshots at them. Amongst many, many other things, these dipshits are actively making their own jobs wildly more dangerous.

Get your shit together

Ok so far…

Arkansas

Oooh good luck with that

Side note: fuck the ACLU for using a deeply and fundamentally flawed argument to defend and support the Citizens United ruling. I stopped donating to them when I learned about that years ago.

Did you get the memo?

If it’s heat or power or water in the dead of winter, 2 days is frankly extremely generous.

Same lol

One way or another, I feel like we’re all gonna see the answer to that question before this bullshit settles down in any meaningful way

You can have your immunity from lawsuits. It won’t stop the blue shells.

Send more blue shells.

What…? What’s their rationale on simply capitulating like that?

Children of Kali when?

I wholeheartedly agree with regards to the cops and ICE.

But I actually completely disagree on that statement being applied to the NG and Marines.

I’d argue that the armed forced have a rather explicit duty to protect their own fellow citizens as best they can.

And if some dipshit commander orders the marines or CANG to actually open fire on US civilians, I really do think that the E4 mafia might have something to say about that, and that the commissioned officers and cops and ICE fascists might very quickly find themselves staring down the barrels of the deployed troops.

Put another way: if active duty troops are ordered to fire on unarmed protesters, I would not at all be shocked if the enlisted and noncoms refuse the orders and mutiny, up to and including fragging the officers who gave the orders if they keep pushing.

Orangeboi et al seem to think the troops are robots. They’re absolutely not.

It’s possible this could be a 7 or 13 year cycle

You’re describing either a kit-car or custom fab.

Who’s gonna stop him? And I do mean that as a serious question.

It’s called fragging

In Texas…? Where the state government flagrantly and theatrically displays full-throated enthusiasm for the worst aspects of the current federal regime? The fuck are you smoking my guy?

I really do not think we’re going to.
