Americans about to understand what it feels like to be invaded by America
Yeah, but it's the parts that typically didn't vote for the imperial shit, either. It'd be nice if the dumbfucks that vote for that stuff might learn some lessons, but they are the ones so skeered of Blah people and Teh Tranz and the libruls and perfessers and the woke that they voted for a dickhead that literally promised "retribution" to their (his) enemies as a platform.
They'll get sweet fuckall other than the satisfaction of "owning the libs". Even if they have to move into a tent, at least they got to feel superior to the people they look down on.
Remember back in WW2 when the 82nd fought against fascists instead of licking their boots?
How disappointing.
Fuck off fascists.
Though if you'd like to visit Portland, please enjoy the flowers, the trees, grab some coffee, and try some food cart cuisine--- you'll love it. There ain't shit going down in Portland other than we hate fucking fascists.
Their food trucks are fucking unreal. I've visited like 3 different time and have never eaten the same truck twice and everything is just ridiculously good.
They'll stand around and expertly do nothing.
Because these is nothing to do. Literally. I'm sure they'll instigate something.
The military won't. Especially guys trained like this. Everything the regime is doing is meant to scare people into submission and I don't think they're very happy with the lack of success in that regard.
The feds though? After the way they chased and tackled a guy for throwing a sandwich at them, and how they happily abduct families and generally don't care about people's safety in general? They sure as fuck will..
I thought the guy with the sandwich ran off in a very Monty Python-esque manner. They might have tackled him in his apartment the next day though, but I seem to remember the subway sandwich guy initially escaping. I could have that wrong though.
The fascists are trying to pressure people into an armed reaction so they can declare martial law and cancel elections
And if nobody takes the bait, the administration just declares that they've saved Portland and it's peaceful there now, you're welcome.
If they're truly elite, they'll quit on the spot when the orders go out. There is no justification in the world that will protect them from becoming the enemy of their own countrymen.
I think i read somewhere that the order to be there might not be against the law, it'd be the order to do something.
So if they're just there standing around, refusing to go might be insubordination.
I may be completely wrong though.
The Minnesota Star Tribune obtained images of Salisbury’s Signal messages, which it said were sent while the official was “in clear view of others” in Minnesota.
They still haven't learned.
It’s a killer ad for Signal though. If the top brass (with clearance to access shit like what the NSA is able to crack) is using it to commit treason, it has to be secure.
I bet that would be demoralizing for those soldiers.
As someone who has experienced actual martial law this is such a fucking joke.
As in America is a joke for engaging in this, or as in America has no clue what actual martial law looks like? Neither? Both?
No, I experienced actual martial law in the United States during the Boston Marathon Bombing aftermath.
Men with guns in the streets telling you to get the fuck inside. Total lockdown. Forced military inspection of homes. Military control of civilian spaces. Commerce halted (by order of the men with guns).
So, wrong on all counts. And I do not give a fuck if the US never called it martial law. Words have definitions. Just like Genocide and Insurrection.
We were getting on a flight to leave Boston that afternoon. It was a little weird in the airport, but the full situation hadn’t set in yet.
Ironically the flight home from LA a week later was more stressful, as there had been the manhunt and nighttime capture of them at that point.
My brother was house sitting for us just a couple miles from MIT and had to be locked down, but it wasn’t the direction they went after the security guard incident. I think they ended up in Watertown if memory serves.
Imagine being in the special forces, standing on the streets of portaland, going national guard duty stuff.. I gues they atleast are getting paid a decent hire.
It's not even national guard duty stuff. It's crossing guard duty stuff.
That actually involves being slightly helpful. This is just security guard stuff. Paul Blart would be overqualified for this.
Sending elite soldiers to murder soy latte consumers. What a time to be an American!
Is this the first time they're using active duty troops and not national guard?
They also deployed Marines to LA.
Can't believe I forgot about that. Thanks
Hey, those children and nannies can be dangerous!
Don’t forget the naked bike riders
