ProfD Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 Today marked the first 100 days under the current administration. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I'd imagine those red hats on the table belong to the cabinet members.
umbrarchist Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 So the US military needs to figure out what a "Domestic Enemy" is and what strategy to use to deal with IT. The Repugnacans created this situation and the DIMocrats let it happen. Are the White guys in the fancy uniforms up to the challenge now? Milley was telling everyone that Trump was a Fascist 4 years ago. I was thinking something should have happened by March 1st. Is it already TOO LATE to avoid irreparable damage? The whole planet is in uncharted economic waters now. Probably can't even fully undo it.
ProfD Posted May 1 Author Report Posted May 1 IMO, there are no real enemies foreign or domestic. It's a distraction to generate more money. It doesn't make sense to consider China a major threat when they are the US labor force responsible for producing a majority of the sh8t American citizens consume. If China wanted to wipe the US out, all they'd have to do is contaminate the goods they produce for American consumption. A biological nerve agent on under-clothing and we're done. US political parties are two sides of the same coin sponsored by wealthy interests. The politicians serve them. The current administration is rearranging the deck chairs to promote 1) white nationalism and 2) enrich their wealthy contributors. The funniest part is that hundreds of millions of people either cannot or refuse to see the game beimg played before their own eyes.

The officers are sworn to defend the CONSTITUTION. If Donald Trump repeatedly violates the Constitution, are you saying that does not make him a "Domestic Enemy"? I have been talking on BlueSky to former military who served in Desert Storm: "100 days in and Trump has already cracked the Constitution like a pawnshop safe. The problem isn’t just him,it’s the system that let him test every lock and never changed the keys. Authoritarians don’t break democracies overnight they expose how fragile they already were." https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/president-donald-trump-100-days-assault-democracy/ Edited May 2 by umbrarchist Add paragraph & Link
umbrarchist Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 "There are Constitutional principles and military regulations that deal with the possibility of a "domestic enemy," even if that enemy is the President. Oath of Office: Every military member swears to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" not to the President personally. Military Regulations e.g., UCMJ: Military members are required to obey lawful orders and required to disobey unlawful ones. Blind loyalty to a person over the Constitution can itself be a violation."
ProfD Posted May 2 Author Report Posted May 2 2 hours ago, umbrarchist said: If Donald Trump repeatedly violates the Constitution, are you saying that does not make him a "Domestic Enemy"? Sure. POTUS OJ could be considered a domestic enemy for repeatedly violating the Constitution. However, in order for POTUS OJ to ignore the Constitution and laws of the land, other folks have fo be cooperative an/or complicit too. Congress isn't pushing back against anything POTUS OJ conjures up. They're allowing the executive branch to do whatever it wants. SCOTUS voted 9-0 on a ruling and the current administration has totally ignored it. No contempt or impeachment. Both the legislative and judicial branches of government seem to be content experimenting with fascism here in the US. 1 hour ago, umbrarchist said: "There are Constitutional principles and military regulations that deal with the possibility of a "domestic enemy," even if that enemy is the President. The Secretary of Defense SECDEF) is appointed by POTUS. Good luck with SECDEF giving military an order to take POTUS down. Not gonna happen. These are the same people mobilizing military assets to help with border security. Department of Homeland Security should be able to handle it since fewer folks are trying to cross the border. 77 million people voted for the jackazz that is POTUS OJ and his clown car filled with sycophants. Those of us who voted against this foolishness can only sit back and watch the sh8tshow.

Personally I was thinking about Trump teeing off against an A-10 Warthog on a golf course. Send what is left to Putin. But I was also thinking of a March 1st deadline. I have never been in the military and I am not a White guy so I certainly cannot figure out the dumbness of their thinking.

IMO, there will be no assassination or coup attempts against them because the majority of white folks including those who didn't vote for him are down with POTUS OJ's programme.
ProfD Posted May 2 Author Report Posted May 2 A report for the month of April claims 177,000 new jobs. Supposedly, gasoline is selling for $1.98/gallon somewhere. Not anywhere I travel. This ties back to @Pioneer1's distrust of statistics. 2
Pioneer1 Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 ProfD And watch THAT number....177,000.....get "adjusted" and twiddled down in a few months. These people lie for a living.
ProfD Posted May 5 Author Report Posted May 5 POTUS OJ never one to miss an opportunity to spin up the media posed this picture to his social media account.

But, he either authorized or posted it on his truth social account.
aka Contrarian Posted May 7 Report Posted May 7 TV host and political pundit, Rachel Maddow, claims there is a growing grass roots underground movement underway in EVERY state of America and that these everyday citizens have no intention of letting Trump turn this country into a fascistic dictatorship. Good plot for a movie, Rachel.
