    I’m pretty sure he is using ICE to trigger a violent response from the population so it “justifies” the use of the military against the population. To him, it hasn’t gone far enough because he hasn’t gotten that violent response yet.

      Yeah, you guys should just wait around rather than provoke him. I’m sure common sense will intervene and he totally won’t keep escalating things the way he has continually been. Best to save any direct action until it’s DEFINITELY too late.

      Fucking clowns.

    They planned this shit for decades. They know the psychology of all the players down to a T. All so some christo fascist can enslave us all in the name of Christianity while stealing all of our labor and resources.

    It’s insane that the dumbest among us could not see how voting for Trump three times would allow them to finish their plans: But we have to remember this Trumpers are racist idiots but also victims themselves. I don’t know how all this will end but I hope it can be done without more violence.

      Well SNAP just lapsed and Trump stated he would be slow to release anything from the emergency fund so whatever is going to happen, it’s likely happening soon

    Trump wants riots in the streets so that he can declare martial law, suspend elections indefinitely and eventually create a ruling dynasty in his name

    Of course, he’s an idiot, so this plan is engineered by those behind the fat, orange cunt who stand to benefit financially

    Yeah because Trump would rather have everyone shot instead of arrested and thrown in concentration camps. He would prefer the courts allow him to just murder us, which is about to happen in 2026 if he gets his way.

      Nah, they want to fill their concentration camps so they have a source of slave labor. Killing immigrants while rounding them up defeats that purpose.

      Now protestors, on the other hand, are a different story.

        I’m no Trump supporter (fuck the fat orange pedophile), but you shouldn’t accuse someone of dementia when you can’t even spell the word yourself. (Trump absolutely does have it, though.)

          You never know whether a stranger on the internet is dyslexic. It might be preferable to let a spelling error slide rather than attack someone for what might be a disability they can’t help. Plus there are plenty of people for whom English is not their first language. And then there are people who are just bad at spelling, but it doesn’t really matter.

          If I had to make a choice between not having dementia and having perfect spelling, the spelling would have to fall by the wayside, despite the annoyance that I’d have to put up with from punctilious knobheads who mistake ability to spell for intelligence.

    The only difference between ICE and the SS / Gestapo is public executions. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what Donny means.

      Same reason the BBB funded them by over $10,000 per undocumented ‘target’, making one of the most well-funded armies in the entire world.

      It’s not meant to operate as a deportation force, it is a paramilitary meant to serve the administration’s corrupt whim.

    What’s interesting is that they are bleeding supporters. Instead of the boiled frog, they’ve hit us with ice water. It got on everyone. Trump still needs to have supporters for him to be become king. He’s not there yet and he’s losing supporters and no kings seem to keep getting bigger.

      If its not one thing it’ll be another. He’s not going to allow any more elections. He’s all but said so. Might as well kick shit off before his hands are all the way around our necks.

          He wants to stay in the white house until he drops dead. He’s not going to suddenly obey the constitution just because people didn’t get violent to resist him. He’ll find another reason to justify his fucking with elections if that doesn’t happen. Meanwhile his ICE goons will continue to destroy lives and his Congress is sitting on their asses while people lose their benefits. Just in time for winter. Doing nothing also plays into his hands.
