Sociopaths have nothing in their thought's, but themselves. It’s no surprise that funds have dramatically increased for violence under Trump - his plan to become a dictator (I’d say he already is one) spills the beans on this…if you’re not just watching Fox News. And it’s beside the point if one is innocent or not. Don’t kid yourself either that it’s only immigrants that need to be concerned - it’s going to be anyone in the way. I mean tear gas - isn’t that outlawed in war - at least in other countries? Forget this so-called congress and Miller is a definite Nazi. I have two questions: why has there been such a delay in responding to this and how do we stop it?
Scary as hell Sabrina! I still today asked a guy from New Jersey why FBI agents knocked on a fellow Arizonan's door and asked a lot of questions concerning his attending a No Kings protest. The New Jersey resident told me I was full of it for suggesting the guy in the capital was a Dictator. After I asked him about that he went silent.🤔
it's insane how people can still support this evil charade. I blame Fox News, social media, scotus, a lack of civics and history education, and an overall intellectual decline.
What will Trump use to justify the insurrection act? His fantasy world as he has done so far? No I think that he is going to take a page out of both Putin's and Assad's playbooks. False Flag attacks on Red states orchestrated from Blue states. There is no way we citizens could get on our own. Where did the hacktavists go to? If he planted enough evidence our military leadership would have to respond.
I fully expect trump and Noem to start releasing AI videos of protestors attacking ice agents to justify more brutality and it will escalate upward from there, just as trump has planned
The alarms around ICE have clearly been multiple up to now ( e.g. their alarmingly outsized budget and the lawless manner in which they are treating the humans living in the US). But the fact they are now purchasing weaponry that is well beyond their needs, unbeknownst to most, is more than a 3 alarm fire now 😳
As the witch was melting in The Wizard of Oz said, ‘Oh what a world, what a world!’ She was likely commenting on her personal situation, but I feel as though I could repeat it daily now😳
WTF indeed! Tom Pain (below) and Anne Applebaum are onto something. Why on earth would Trump (along with Musk, Thiel, et al.) operate like this? Wish we, the public, had access to Thiel's private lectures on the antichrist. Is it Putin? Trump? Miller? WTF..............
This is all so terrifying and disheartening. I’ve “liked” several commenters here who expressed my fears exactly. This all caught up so quickly that it’s breathtaking. Gladly did all the marching and demonstrating for womens’ rights, birth control, end the Viet Nam war in the 70’s when there was a chance we could and did eventually win. Note, I was NEVER against the Viet Nam vets; I considered them victims, especially of the draft. My husband is a Viet Nam vet although lucky enough to remain stateside. Now we’re old, tired discouraged, and just trying to stay under the radar, hoping our meager income and social security last until we exit. I’m sure there are other people who see the danger and hopelessness that exists now.
Well stated, Ms. Haake. No Establishment Dem or maga GOP condemns ICE or DHS funding. We are in the middle of fascism. We will have to get ourselves out of it.
Hey, Sabrina, give Tramp a break, he's doing a great job of training-up his royal home guard and developing his permanent DC residence. Now, where did I put my tux, for the new ballroom? Have blessed day and enjoy what freedoms we have left.
Greeley, do you really have a tux? I don't even own a necktie. I'm not holding my breathe for an invitation to and of the festivities in the new maulroom (sic). More likely I'll be invited to an ICE torture chamber.
You caught me in a lie, friend. I rid myself of the ties and sports jackets when I retired 13 yrs. ago. My “slacks” are blue jeans and my few remaining dress shirts are gathering dust. Have a blessed day and thanks for the dialog.
millions of people care but aren't sure what to do. as I see it, we 1. economic boycott and 2. prepare for the war trump will impose on us. no way out but through, as someone mentioned above.
To go full Dr. Strangelove; the burning question is which one of Trumps regime will go full on Major T.J. ‘King’ Kong, aka (Slim Pickens) riding the bomb; in this case duct taped to a missile.
We already know RFK Jr. is General Jack D. Ripper, who’s obsessed with fluoridation, and ‘Precious Bodily Fluids’.
Stock up, and prepare to boycott trump's economy by SITTING ON OUR WALLETS for a week or so. Don't spend. Don't disburse unless required to prevent foreclosure.
Come on, Sabrina, Trump needs what he needs. No parade or celebration is glorious enough. No praetorian guard is well armed enough. Hell, no historic building too historic to be desecrated to satisfy his needs. Today I wrote "Trump needs a ginormous gilded ballroom fit for a king. Who are we mere mortals to deny him such a royal presidential perk?" https://halbrown.substack.com/p/trump-needs-a-ginormous-gilded-ballroom
EVERYONE needs to read this article.

That last line is the kicker ...

Dang it I should have proofread. I meant to say that there is no way we citizens could uncover evidence of this on our own.

You have a great idea probably correct. Mine is scarier. And Halloween is coming up. But I also put nothing past that crazy delusional old man.

agreed. there has been some reporting that suggests it was a typo, a mistake in the procurement ledger, but the purchase is still there

Apparently, Sir thinks Ozymandias was a "winner".

hands down it's Stephen deadeyes miller.
This particular "antichrist" is comprised solely of their desires. Also, let's do all we can to keep Thiel away from "The Silmarillion".

the breathtaking nature of one crime after another was part of Bannon's "flood the zone" plan. it's working.
And sadly, our PCP is friends with Bannon!

I'll wait for the limo you're sending so we can attend the ball together. I'm already wearing my diamond tiara.
Limo, hell, I’ll pick you up in my horse drawn carriage. Have a blessed day and let’s keep on laughing our way through this nightmare.
Fuk-all, Ann and I will pay for the limo. I will rent a tux. Would it be a cliche to wear sneakers with them? Asked and answered - here: https://people.com/oscars-2025-kelly-ripa-mark-consuelos-packed-uggs-sneakers-backstage-11689268

There is a scene in the original "Jurassic Park" film, where Dennis Nedry
stands up in an outdoor cafe, and pointing to his seated companion,
shouts "Dodson! We got Dodson here!", then shrugs and says " See?
Nobody cares.".
Which I believe pretty much sums up where we are right now.
millions of people care but aren't sure what to do. as I see it, we 1. economic boycott and 2. prepare for the war trump will impose on us. no way out but through, as someone mentioned above.
Yes, we are in a perpetual state of not knowing what to do.
We may stay that way.
The problem is we are way off the map here.
Add to that the fact that anything can happen. It's impossible
to prepare for variables without any idea what they might be.
Trump still enjoys a sizeable amount of support.
But even without Don personally, you have the people who
are actually coordinating all this. This is a well implemented
takeover. There is no way the gangrenous old madman is
directing it. You have people like Vought, Miller, and whoever
else, in control, while Trump is used as media catnip - ranting,
raving, bulldozing the White House - so nobody looks away
from the Wizard of Oz and peeks behind the curtain.
If Trump is seriously ill, we end up with President Vance,
who has already proven himself to be a completely amoral
Toady.
"war" is a scenario that I can't even begin to imagine.
It would be like Lebanon or Syria on steroids. Much of the
country would end up looking like the East Wing.
To go full Dr. Strangelove; the burning question is which one of Trumps regime will go full on Major T.J. ‘King’ Kong, aka (Slim Pickens) riding the bomb; in this case duct taped to a missile.

I think Hegseth.
I think Hegseth too.
ICE will soon be renamed "Internal Control and Enforcement" in keeping with its actual current mission.
No way out but through, friends. Be ready:
▪enhance your personal networks (including provisions for mutual aid as the assault on infrastructure - ie. SNAP, CDC, etc - continues),
▪stock supplies crucial to your household, and
▪fortify yourself to go forth into this existential battle with joy.
not sure anyone can muster joy at this point but other than that, agreed my friend.
