    Just to clarify:

    The military is generally barred under federal laws from taking part in domestic law enforcement. Noem’s request may be a step toward the administration sidestepping those laws by invoking the Insurrection Act, two legal experts said in interviews.

    Every. Accusation. Is. A. Confession.

        I asked in another thread if there’s some media coverage of what the troops themselves think, in LA. Or how they act. You wouldn’t happen to know some?

          I’ve seen mixed answers to that question. Some replies were that most of the grunts either don’t care or are glad to follow Trump’s orders, but another source says that calls into the military’s anonymous complaint line (or whatever it’s called) are way up.

    “Military aged male” is such a fucking disgusting phrase to begin with, I don’t think anybody should be using it outside of very specific contexts.

    It has the same energy as “breeding aged female.”

      I think they want a world war actually. This is all grounds to get their way so they can start trying to take what they want by force. The rhetoric has already started, his laying down crumbs so they can pick them up later and it’ll will be in the back of people’s minds already. Russia is testing the waters, the USA will be soon to follow.
