It's not for no reason. The images get picked up and spread without context by the complicit "news" media, promoting the idea Portland is a "war zone," and the practice could incite public panic and possible retaliation. It all can be used as pretext to justify troop deployment and force escalation.

The "faithful's" lies and hypocrisy started me down the road to atheism many years ago. My only prayer I believe may actually have been answered was when I was 10 or so for wisdom and discernment. The next Sunday, it was like I could see through all the BS at church and it's been that way since.

The people who think those who invaded the Capitol on Jan 6 to find and murder lawmakers and overthrow democracy were patriots who committed no crimes are the same people who think chanting slogans outside a building makes someone a terrorist and justifies the use of deadly force.

Common wolves go among the sheep wearing fleece and baaing as loudly as they can. The most devious wolves cloak themselves in shepherd's clothes.

Problem is that the people who are enacting it studied it very well.

One correction: the USA hasn't "become something no one recognizes," at least not in this respect. POC have had guns pointed at them for no legitimate reason by cowards with badges for a long, long time. What's changed is there are far more cameras now to catch the assholes in the act.

He found himself a military crowd young and inexperienced enough to give him the reaction he desperately craves.

ICE Immoral Criminal Evil

This. Is. Brilliant.

Leaks are indicating that AI facial analysis tools were used during the insane, fascist speech US military commanders were forced to attend recently at Quantico.

Never mind that nearly every domestic terror attack has been planned and executed by the right. The fascist's core mantra is that they are the literal definition of goodness, making anything not like them evil. They know terrorism is evil, so they can't be terrorists. Only their opponents can be.

I figure we're about a year from Kegseth unveiling new, "sleek and powerful" uniform designs for the US military, whose design language will shortly be echoed in ICE-is, and which uncannily will evoke those worn by Nazi troops and the Brownshirts.

Kegseth told us all he's a closeted guy who wants to ogle clean-shaven muscle tops all day, feels inadequate around black men, and is terrified of being outed at the officers' bar when he awkwardly tries to show "the bros" how *super* straight he is by flirting with that sexy trans LT.

When we wrest back our democracy from the fascists, we need to enshrine into law that any government official *must* be removed immediately and prosecuted when they deny the people equal rights and access to the services and protections due them.

The most dangerous people in the world are cowards. They reach for violence as a first resort, because they live in constant fear, driven by the deep knowledge of their inadequacy and weakness. Gobble-Goebbels is a pure and complete coward, and he's grasping desperately for violence.

ICE are Hitl'orange's Brownshirts.

Image is everything to the fascist. *Doing* and *being* bad are perfectly acceptable, so long as you don't *look* bad. Also, "bad" is whatever the fascist decides it is, and what they decide it is is "not themselves."

A room full of senior military officials in Quantico listened to a dictator and his clown-de-camp openly declare intent to use troops immorally and unconstitutionally in service of authoritarianism. I implore them to remember their oaths. Be more honorable than the draft dodger and his pet warboy.

Unfortunately, those charged with doing anything about it have his gold-plated boot too far down their collective throat.

Law "enforcement" overwhelmingly sources from the more conservative elements of their societies, people who tend to see even enforcement of the law as, at best, only equal to the "holy cause" of forcing conformity with what they see as their culture's traditions. Look, talk, think right. Or else.

"No one has the right to go into the Oval Office and ask the President of the United States questions" is an authoritarian declaration that should not be ignored. The President is not a king or an emperor. They are a hired administrator, our *employee*, and we are entitled to question them.

Call Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, and ask him why he's protecting pedofiles and childhood sex traffickers. His official DC numbers are: (202) 225-4000 and (202) 225-2777 Bossier City office: (318) 840-0309 DeRidder office: (337) 226-6385 Leesville office: (337) 423-4232 Be relentless.

And by "potential solutions," let us be clear, he's talking about socialism. Well, *more* socialism. Agriculture has always been an industry heavily subsidized by our tax dollars.

As the US military unlawfully continues to invade the US, people in occupied communities should stream 24/7, ideally with archiving, so all the world, now and for posterity, can see Hitl'orange's lies for what they are: a plan to have boots already on the ground when he declares himself emperor.

And, should you choose *not* to stand up for what's right, the eventual war crimes tribunal will remember your failure.

Do they realize that MAGA's entire belief system is anti-Christian? They erroneously, and in defiance of their supposedly sacred scriptures, believe Jesus was white, pro-Capitalism, anti-immigrant, and pro-violence. Even *they* appear to believe MAGA should be declared a terror group.

The same mental deficients who believed they would be raptured a few days ago, that Fauci should have been arrested, and that Hitl'orange was undercover on Epstein Island to build a case against the Deep State pedo ring.

I miss the days when military leaders would have refused to obey such orders.

Pigs on Parade

We don't seem to have even 11.

Maybe "Justice" Ruckus just *really* wants out of his marriage, and supporting the rollback of civil rights is his passive-aggressive way of accomplishing it.

Dictators never let themselves be stopped by trifles such as the truth.

The sounds of goosestepping continue to grow louder.

Also, the fact that millions of people in 2025 still believe in nonsense such as the Rapture goes a long way to explain how we got to this sorry state of affairs. Grow the fuck up.

Always important to remember that every conservative accusation is projection and confession. They call their opponents terrorists because they know their own movement is full of terrorists.

The people who have the Epstein Files should just release them, and to hell with the consequences. Don't wait for authorization. Don't wait for a successful vote. Just fucking release them, complete and unredacted, so the people can finally decide if they care.

The unpatriotic goosesteppers carrying out Hitl'orange's unlawful orders should know that, when his dictatorship fails, we the people will prosecute you for war crimes, dereliction of duty, and conduct unbecoming. You will be court-martialed and stripped of rank, privilege, and pension.

As someone who's actually read the entire Judeo-Christian Bible nearly 50 times, in full, I feel pretty confident that Hell, should it actually exist, would consist nearly entirely of right-wingers. Their unrelenting cruelty and hypocrisy spit in the face of the brown communist they claim to follow.

I have yet to see the "tradcon" "pro-natalist" who *isn't* a pedo.

The whole Kimmel situation should prove once, and for all, that boycotts *do* work, but only if people fully *commit* to them. No half-assing. No giving in. Full send and cripple their profits.

Who woulda thought the US' descent into fascist authoritarianism would come at the tiny orange hands of a pedophile dipshit who stares at the sun, stumbles over the word acetaminophen, and is so weak, having to walk up some stairs is considered a dire threat to his person? Lamest dictatorship ever.

Have Kenvue filed suit against Hitl'orange for his Tylenol fearmongering yet? Seems like a YUGE opportunity to make billions.

If you let a liar run his mouth long enough, eventually the truth will stumble out.

"Well, there's your problem..." #DonaldTrump #Escalator

This escalator fights fascists.

The most important aspect of this Tylenol debacle, is that the President raped children.

YUGE facts!

Sinclair and NexStar are continuing to suck Hitl'orange's tiny dayglo peen and keeping Kimmel off their stations. Dump their stock. Figure out which stations in your area are owned by them and refuse to watch *anything* on them. Make them pay in the only ways that matter to them: lost dollars.

What's next? A drug to "treat" left-handedness?

Goebbel Goebbels would need a brain to benefit from psychiatric treatment.
