On Trump

[Trell]

400 million guns.

None of the snatching of immigrants by masked ICE (presumably) agents I've seen have been armed, nor have even the Trump administration claimed so.

At the risk of pissing off several AH members,

Does that mean you're beginning to understand why people want to legally own guns? 'The government' isn't just the military, it's anyone who acts on the orders they receive from the government and by acting on illegal orders, they become illigitimate and in violation of the oath they swore. 'Self protection' isn't only for dealing with common criminals, it's for ANY attack or assault that could lead to injury, death or illegal assault by government, especially when they're not wearing marked clothing.

At 249 years, the US is late in meeting the following-

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

― Alexander Fraser Tytler

I'm sure you can continue this in your ironically named gun thread.

Trump is targeting Chris Krebs for telling the truth.

>>>Chris Krebs, who led the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency during President Trump's first term, has had his membership in the Global Entry traveler program revoked, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed Thursday.

The move comes after Mr. Trump issued a memorandum last month that targeted Krebs for defending the integrity of the 2020 election, which the president has continued to baselessly claim was rigged against him. The directive instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to suspend security clearances held by Krebs and people working at entities associated with him, including at the cybersecurity company where he worked. . . .

Mr. Trump's memo also directed his administration to investigate Krebs' activities from his time in the federal government, including at CISA. . . .

Krebs was fired by Mr. Trump in 2020 after he refuted the president's unsupported claims that the election was rife was widespread voter fraud.<<<

It's ironic that Trump apparently views himself as being the victim in all of this.

 

[GO-NAD!]

You're sounding more and more American by the minute!

EDIT: Your FU response is anticipated and welcome.

I said I was waiting for it, not looking forward to it.

I suspect that most of the targets of these apprehensions would not be permitted to possess a firearm by virtue of their immigration status. However, as this campaign unfolds, I would not be surprised if some would prefer to take their chances, rather than end up in an El Salvador gulag. Or, another case of mistaken identity may occur with an armed citizen who is determined to exercise his rights in the extreme.

Trump? No.

Trump's brain is gone

It really should be a bigger story.

Recall the abuse of Biden over his cognitive decline? The main difference between him and Trump is that Biden had sufficient marbles and well-meaning intent to assemble an administration that was at least worthy of the name. And, when it became clear that he needed to step down, there is no indication that Harris wouldn't be able to do the same.

Instead of that, Americans elected someone who is clearly out of his tree. The only marbles he has retained are those dedicated to venality, caprice, mendacity, and malice.

And, how much would that parade cost? I'd call it waste and abuse.

Hell yeah!

But afterward I'd make fun of him.

First thing that came to mind from the pic was Kim Jong for some reason.

Forgot to add the cost of the dozens of aircraft flyover, bands and more. Insanity.

It’s disturbing that Trump is apparently relying heavily on Stephen Miller, perhaps in part because of Trump’s mental decline. When Trump said “that’s not what my people told me” when asked about the Supreme Court ruling, Trump’s statement was technically true if Trump was referring to Miller’s false statements about the Supreme Court decision.

Trump apparently relies on Miller not because Miller has expertise, but rather the exact opposite. Miller has no expertise and he tells Trump what Trump wants to hear.

A somewhat similar dynamic was apparent in the leaked Signal chat. The others in the chat quickly retreated when Miller reminded them what Trump apparently wanted. It’s not entirely clear if Miller was accurately relaying what Trump wanted or if he was stating what he wanted, knowing that Trump would follow his advice.

Miller may have good political instincts when it comes to rather extreme messaging that will appeal to voters looking for magical solutions to real problems, but he seems to have no ability to implement magical solutions.

And that’s my huge opinion (I obviously have no inside knowledge about any of this, so the sbove involves a great deal of guesswork on my part).
