Countdown to Trump using the military against Americans

The rhetoric of an invasion and criminals over-running the city is straight out of the Nazi fascist playbook. He has that down. And Newsome is spot on. This is eerily reflecting the movie "Civil War". But in this case it will have to be the liberal states taking it to the federal government. No way Texas gets involved on the side of the good guys. I don't think we are terribly far from a full-on civil war at this point. And frankly there might be no other way out.

the comments section is terrifying

I added a few comments, but most of them are just the same 6 people recycling their comments about getting rid of illegals. Not much going on in the comment section really, at least not right now.

I watched it for about 5 minutes just a heap of right wing fan bois in a circle jerk.
 
ICE is preparing for raids in 5 Democratic cities. We elected a moron who is determined to just blow the country up. Trump has declared war on America. Yeah, I get there are millions of illegal immigrants in the United States. But Stephen Miller thinks at least 3000 a day must be rounded up. And in a manner that just won’t go smoothly, or peacefully.

That’s the stupidity of this asinine effort. It creates chaos and civil war vibes. Strong civil war vibes. Trump and Miller could not be more stupid. This is what they plan until they have rounded up millions?! And Stephen Miller even looks the part of Nazi. This is Trump’s plan. Stage LA style raids in Democratic cities, crack down violently on any protests in those cities, crack skulls, make it look like we are in a civil war. It will take a few years as well, at this rate. And somehow, we can just live in such a climate.


Donald Trump is set to deploy ICE tactical units to five Democrat-run cities amid the riots in Los Angeles as Gavin Newsom nearly broke into tears while blaming his administration for inciting the California chaos.

The military-style units are set to storm New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia and northern Virginia, MSNBC reported. Four of those five are heavily blue cities, while northern Virginia contains the Democrat enclave of Alexandria.

The ICE raids have sparked protests that brought Los Angeles to its knees, as the mayor opted to introduce a lockdown from 8pm to 6am.

The reports came as the California governor delivered a harrowing prediction for the rest of the country Tuesday night in a nationally televised address that blasted Trump's deployment of US troops to Los Angeles.

'Look, this isn't just about protests here in Los Angeles, when Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard. He made that order apply to every state in this nation,' Newsom said, as he teared up.

'This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes, this moment we have feared has arrived.'

Newsom accused Trump of 'taking a wrecking ball to our founding fathers' historic project' of three co-equal branches of government.

As the governor delivered his teary address, the President was greeting US military personnel at Fort Bragg.

He was in North Carolina to recognise the 250th anniversary of the US Army, but spent much of the speech defending the decision to deploy soldiers against 'animals' and 'foreign enemies' protesting against ICE arrests in LA.

'What you're witnessing in California is a full blown assault on peace, on public order and national sovereignty... with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country. We're not gonna let that happen,' he said.

'We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy. That's what they are.'

The president went on to call LA 'a trash heap' with 'entire neighborhoods under control' of criminals, adding the government would 'use every asset at our disposal to quell the violence and restore law and order.'

'We will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean and safe again,' Trump said.
ICE tactical units have become Trump's Black Shirts. Now that he is militarizing the national guard, he has the 2-pronged attack of Mussolini. The ICE tactical units to do whatever he wants (Mussolini's black shirts) and the national guard to add an air of official propriety to the actions taken, like Mussolini did when he declared himself the Secretary of the Interior which in Italy at that time, controlled the police force. This is all straight out of the fascist playbook.

Yes it is. Not so oddly enough, last night I started thinking of Trump as a Mussolini clone.
 
Reality always has to be manipulated to a degree most suitable for Trump.



For this story, Military.com reached out to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's office as well as the Army and the 82nd Airborne Division directly with a series of questions that ranged from the optics of the event to social media posts showing the sale of Trump campaign merchandise on the base, to the apparent violation of Pentagon policies on political activity in uniform.


Internal 82nd Airborne Division communications reviewed by Military.com reveal a tightly orchestrated effort to curate the optics of Trump's recent visit, including handpicking soldiers for the audience based on political leanings and physical appearance. The troops ultimately selected to be behind Trump and visible to the cameras were almost exclusively male.

One unit-level message bluntly said "no fat soldiers."

"If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out," another note to troops said.

Service officials declined to comment when asked about the extent to which troops were screened, whether soldiers displaying partisan cheers on television -- a violation of long-standing Pentagon rules -- would be disciplined or if soldiers who objected to participating in the event, citing disagreements with the administration, would be disciplined or admonished in any way.

"This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution," one commander at Fort Bragg told Military.com on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. "This was shameful. I don't expect anything to come out of it, but I hope maybe we can learn from it long term."
 
I’ve come to appreciate the Drudge Report, for its ability to portray the climate of the present moment, with its “front page headlines” approach. Captures the mood and moment well…

What a surprise.


California national guards troops and marines deployed to Los Angeles to help restore order after days of protest against the Trump administration have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join.

Three different advocacy organisations representing military families said they had heard from dozens of affected service members who expressed discomfort about being drawn into a domestic policing operation outside their normal field of operations. The groups said they have heard no countervailing opinions.

“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for,” said Sarah Streyder of the Secure Families Initiative, which represents the interests of military spouses, children and veterans.

“Families are scared not just for their loved ones’ safety, although that’s a big concern, but also for what their service is being used to justify.”

Chris Purdy of the Chamberlain Network, whose stated mission is to “mobilize and empower veterans to protect democracy”, said he had heard similar things from half a dozen national guard members. “Morale is not great, is the quote I keep hearing,” he said.

The marines and the California national guard did not respond to invitations to comment….

…..Trump has taken the unusual step of ordering 4,000 national guard members to Los Angeles without the consent of California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, saying that the city risked being “obliterated” by violent protesters without them. Earlier this week, he also activated 700 marines from the Twentynine Palms base two hours’ drive to the east, describing Los Angeles as a “trash heap” that was in danger of burning to the ground.

In reality, the anti-Trump protests – called first in response to aggressive federal roundups of undocumented immigrants, then in anger at the national guard deployment – have been largely peaceful and restricted to just a few blocks around downtown federal buildings. The Los Angeles police has made hundreds of arrests in response to acts of violence and vandalism around the protests, and the city’s mayor, Karen Bass, has instituted a night-time curfew – all with minimal input from the federal authorities.
