    “If I had to enact it, I’d do that. If people were being killed and courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I’d do that. I mean, I want to make sure that people aren’t killed. We have to make sure that our cities are safe,” he added.

    But people already are being killed. By ICE.

    … and the rest of the US government just stands there like an idiot

    This orange idiot doesn’t have any power … only the power that is given to him, offered to him or allowed to him. He isn’t an all powerful God-King … it’s an entire organization of people in government that allow all this idiocy to happen.

    This leader just represents everything wrong with American government. What a bunch of idiots. I wouldn’t mind all this if it would just affect America but these morons are on track to destabilize the entire world.

      I don’t know, our influence isn’t exactly a good thing at the moment but most of the rest of the world seems to be doing a pretty good job of destabilizing on its own. We’re just further down the path than they are.

      The longer this is allowed to go on the more I find myself rooting for a military coup where they just purge 80% of the (remaining) government and all of the billionaire class that brought this on and we just start over.

        Military coup = christian nationalist death squads targeting brown and queer people and then leftists who dont fight back. Not really something to ultimately wish for

    Invoking the insurrection act against the most powerful and populous states in the union without even a figleaf of justification would be a wild unforced error.

    Things must be worse for the fasc than we thought if they’re making telegraphing desperation moves like this

      They’re being blamed for the shutdown and the economic self-inflicted self-own. So they’re holding more of the bag than Dems right now and even the cult isn’t happy with the Epstein files non-release. They’ve still got their cult beast on a leash but it’s upset and needs some meat to distract it and aim it at something/someone else like Mamdani.

    This right here is the setup for another civil war. I think that as long as Trump is president civil war is inevitable.

    These guys keep pretending certain cities are not safe. Even if they weren’t, what The Annoying Orange is doing is not helping anything.
