What you’re saying to do, is what’s been happening and is happening and won’t do anything to prevent it from continuing…

Your plan is “surrender”

But at this point I don’t think I’m going to help you understand anything, and frankly I don’t think it’s worth the effort

These perfidious fucks…

The nonmilitary appearance is significant, according to legal specialists, because the administration has argued its lethal boat attacks are lawful — not murders — because President Trump “determined” the United States is in an armed conflict with drug cartels.

But the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called “perfidy.”

After Maduro other countries are going to shoot first at US military craft coming at them and not responding.

So the US military launching attacks from aircraft disguised to be civilians, is other countries might then shoot first on civilian aircraft.

They’re doing the same things to other countries that ICE is doing to Americans.

make them actually, literally violate the Constitution.

They not only are, they have been, consistently…

Then dare SCOTUS to defend it.

They do, again consistently…

You think that is somehow accomplishing something, even tho I just said;

just SC clerks from Ivy League schools have to work more unpaid hours to write up some bullshit justification…

Is anything I’m saying making sense to you?

By making them stick to the Constitution

What the actual fuck…

You think they’re being held by the constitution?

That’s not even getting into how the “difficulties” it creates is just SC clerks from Ivy League schools have to work more unpaid hours to write up some bullshit justification…

The general goal of aiming for about 2% inflation is basically just there

To guarantee on a long timeline the rich make steady money…

Even this short term volitility is how they make the giant leaps in wealth.

And buddy…

Socialism still has it, because socialism is just ethical capitalism. It not “not capitalism”, it’s just not a complete free fall. I thought you knew what you were saying till that bit.

If I said Bobby got a glass of milk from the fridge, and now there’s broken glass on the floor and milk everywhere…

Some people would understand Bobby dropped a glass of milk, others can’t see any connection because no one explicitly told them.

You were upfront about not seeing a connection, just instead of asking if anyone had time to fill in the gaps so you’d understand…

You just fucking said:

I don’t understand

…

You’re asking why an average American thinks the chair of the chief reserve is a piece of shit?

Like, do you want some specific examples, or are you asking for broad strokes on why capitalism has been a wealth transfer to oligarchs for decades?

Super general so it applies to all the Fed tho:

The only reason inflation exists, is so that people are forced to invest. There will always be inflation because our economic system needs it to get regular Americans to invest, then the oligarchs can get it.

If $100 was worth $100 a decade from now, people would be stashing it under mattresses like a century ago. And overtime people would earn more, no more pay cuts disguised as aub-inflation raises.

Like…

I’m not trying to come off as a dick here, but I know it’s probably going to happen. It’s just honestly stunning to get that question about why someone could think even the best chair of the Federal Reserve we’ve had in the last century was still a giant piece of shit.

They’re not independent of the president to save us, the fed chair is independent to protect the oligarchs from unpredictable change while the rest of us get distracted by all the other changes that show up from alternating between neoliberals and Republicans

The DNC woke up after at least after the 2025 election, that’s why they finally pivoted away from neoliberal chairs and elected one with a decade long track record of no biased primaries that took a purple state to one of the most actually progressive states in America.

And to be honest?

They probably learned that lesson earlier, when Biden won he got to name the chair from 2021-2026.

Before the DNC pivoted in 2026, the last vote they got for a party chair was 2017. And that was back when the DNC was broke and had to take Hillary’s money even during the 2016 primary.

People just expect this to move fast, when it doesn’t.

So people keep shitting on the new DNC because a billionaire’s employee on TV won’t tell them we got the party back from the oligarchs almost a year ago.

Stop letting the dying remnants of neoliberalism still in office convince you they’re the party and they would control. They’d prefer it if we ignored primaries because that’s the only way they can hold on.

And let’s say he cancels the election. Elections are a state-managed process, so what if the Blues states don’t respect his suspension, and hold their elections anyway?

Do you legitimately not see what the plan is?

1. Declare fraud or whatever by blue state governments.

2. Say Blue state governments refuse to work with fed.

3. Install puppet leaders in blue state governments to “save the states”

4. Puppet leader might cancel elections, but more likely they do all they can to rig it either thru voter suppression and shutting down certain polls, or just ignore actual results and declaring trump gets all the state electoral votes.

What will happens if the House flips, and a new crop of freshman Dem reps show up to be sworn in by the new House Majority Leader.

How is that a question either?

They just won’t bring the House in session to seat the new congress, just like they did with that special election seat.

They’re not using Congress to do things, trump is doing things and they’re obstructing congress from holding him accountable.

“No congress” is their goal. Some people can keep desks, but they’re not doing any type of governing. They want the president and his unelected appointees to just be able to do anything. Fully consolidated power, and we’re fucked because for 30 years neoliberals were pushing consolidation too.

You’re still expecting MAGA to work inside a system when all they’ve done is try to blow the system up. They don’t want any representation.

Powell’s a piece of shit, but anyone trump replaces him with would be 100x worse.

That doesn’t mean if we actually pull some FDR shit we should keep Powell, or any of his buddies tho.

But if there’s not enough agitation they’ll keep provoking…

It’s like telling a kid “the bully just wants a reaction” ignoring that the bully isn’t just calling names, he’s causing serious and permanent harm.

They’re breaking into random houses with no warrants, murdering people on the streets, not allowing local law enforcement to investigate anything ICE does…

What the fuck is the endgame to “don’t react” besides “they do anything they want”?

Right now in 2026, who is going to reign in trump so the people don’t have to?

Kash Pattel keeps trying that and it’s not working…

If one circle is blurry, it can look like a Venn diagram.

As it gets more focused, it looks like the Venn just overlaps more than it did originally.

Then one day, everyone’s like “wait a minute, it’s been a single blurry circle the whole time” and everyone can see it.

It’s not common usage now, but has before. So maybe they switched it up on accident, but if it was intentuonal then it wasn’t necessarily wrong. They just meant as the differences get more defined, we realize they aren’t really differences.

It’s a good thing he’s doing this, and the harder he comes down on them the better

Just like with Greene, it takes them directly experiencing it to learn that prior loyalty counts for nothing, so if you ever oppose anything they will ever do, you’re just as bad as someone who opposed them the whole time.

The sooner they learn it, the better everyone else is.

At the very least, some will resign because they’re cowards.

I said they’re not wearing them…

You said that can’t be true because they’re required to wear them by law.

The flaw in your logic is you’re assuming ICE agents are following the law.

Which frankly, is pretty concerning that anyone is operating under that assumption

They don’t have body cams…

That’s why the recent video of Jonathon Ross murdering someone was shot with a cellphone in his left hand while his gun was in his right.

He was consciously focused on getting video because he felt he had put himself in a position to justify the shooting.

But they don’t have body cams rolling the whole time because it would catch all the completely unjustifiable shit they do.

Quick edit:

This gives the justifiable step of subpoenaing all personal phone records and content of every ICE agent for evidence of abuse of force…

Our politicians won’t do it yet, but it’s something to keep in mind for after midterms.

ICE agents won’t delete the worst shit, some idiot will keep it saved. So even a year from now it’s worth doing.

If they were, they wouldn’t have called 911…

So I suspect the “ties” are gonna end up something like testifying against them and getting refugee status here as a form of witness protection.

I’d say we should wait for details, but we can’t count on local PD in a major city to be the truth tellers either.

They’re gonna start kidnapping state leaders and install MAGAs who will rig elections in blue states, or even cancel whole blue state elections.

Hopefully that will at least be enough to get govenors off their asses, they won’t protect us but when they’re on the line we’ll see much stronger opposition.

Well…

For the first time in 30 years the DNC elected a non biased chair.

One who ran Minnesota’s state party for a decade turning it from purple to one of the most progressive in the nation. And for that whole decade he never put a finger on the scale in a primary. And fully backed anyone that made it to the general. He even waited till Mamdani won the primary before endorsing him and saying the DNC should emulate his campaign and policy

And within a year of him leaving, stuffs kind of going to shit, so it seems like he was doing something.

Then there’s how for that year we’ve seen the largest re-investment from DNC to state parties, with extra money going to red states because that’s where we can gain the most seats and it’s already translated to big gains in special elections…

So it working out great, you just won’t hear about the good shit from billionaire owned media

There is basically no chance they’ll be able to amend the constitution, which is what that requires

All it requires is them doing it and no one stopping them…

Trump’s not Biden, he just does shit and sees who stops him in time. Fuck man, he tried to hang his VP last time he was supposed to leave office.

I think there’ll be elections, be I also think shit will be a lot worse than Jan 6th this time. The guard/military will be there, but who knows for which side.
