It's paranoid to take the President seriously? This proclamation is pretty well documented.

So if I understand this correctly:

1 - He said what he's going to do.
2 - He was democratically elected based in-part on saying what he's going to do.
3 - Him doing what he said he was going to do and what he was elected to do is a problem?

He was elected to deploy the military on the streets of the United States like this is some Central American dictatorship? In the America the rest of us reside in and I am beeming in to your device from we call that… insane.

You act like this governing thing is some kind of game or something. What place in America is so screwed up that the cops aren’t enough and we need the fucking military to police the streets? Crime is a fraction of what it was the period 1965-1990. There were no military units roaming the streets then… what the hell do we need them now for?

You're the one who claims that's what Trump has said. My point was, if he said it before he was elected, and what he said was public knowledge, then so long as he's doing things he said he was going to do, then he was elected to do those thing. Elections have consequences.

What are the other 69 or 70 million of us supposed to do? Sit back and relax while shit gets real? She lost decisively in the electoral college… he eeked out a popular vote win relatively speaking.

Recall too that one of their plans is to invoke the insurrection act and the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 pretty much right off the jump. Everybody before him didn’t do that because it’s insane not because they were stupid.

California still has 37% outstanding. It not unreasonable the sane Harris voter count could climb to 74M.

If so we may very well have been hijacked again and it argues for the elimination of the electoral college. There has to be a point at which enough is enough with that thing. At this point this sort of thing is what the EC favors… nutty minority candidates who get a majority because of how the population has concentrated and divided.

Remember when Trump trade moves caused China to get it's soy beans elsewhere and Congress had to bail them out. The business has never gotten back to the level that it was.
Wander through the produce dept and check the labels on items like bananas..Honduras, Berries... Mexico, Chile shrimp/ fish SE Asia the list goes on. We are fine for say 4-5 months (US season) out of the year then we need imports to maintain our style. Think food cost a lot wait till the tariffs kick in.
Quick... name a US made TV company or phones. Things are made overseas in part to cheap labor AND lack of environmental laws that would really jack the price.

I remember that pretty well. Farmers complained loudly… I wonder if they still blame him? They sure did then.

They seem to think a magic wand can be waved and we can party like it’s 1955 again or something. What sort of societal breakdown occurs on the MAGA side when they find out it don’t work that way and they get hurt pretty good while simultaneously a bunch of non-loyal people are resisting his insanity? All hell could break loose.

A military official from his first time around described his thought of deploying troops domestically as apocalyptic. That person is probably in the ballpark.

We have had a surprisingly calm post election period… either folks are defeated and resigned to this or saving up for January 20th. As long as you live off the beaten path you’re probably ok.

That Mike Davis guy who wants to be AG or may end up as White House Counsel went on some podcast called the Benny Show with somebody named Benny Johnson yesterday or the day before:
Mike Davis: Let me just say this to Big Tish James [New York AG Letitia James]: I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term because listen here sweetheart we’re not messing around this time and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that. So think long and hard before you want to violate president Trumps constitutional rights or any other Americans constitutional rights. We… uh uh… it’s not gonna happen again.

Benny Johnson:
We’ve been warning people on the show Mike, this isn’t the same Trump Administration, stop messing around, don’t be trying to rig elections, don’t illegally vote. Don’t try the funny business because we know the team this time and they are not F’ing around.
Just absolutely charming.

Or this one from Nick Fuentes who dined privately with Trump:
Hey Bitch! (Said like he’s calling across a room with his hands cupped). We control your bodies. Guess what? Guys win again ok? Men win again. And yes we control your bodies. Hi! I’m your Republican congressman. [laughs hysterically] Hi! I’m your Republican congressman. It’s your body, my choice. And men win again. There will NEVER EVER be a female President. NEVER EVER be a female President NEVERRRRR. It’s over. Glass ceiling? Dude it’s a ceiling made of fucking bricks. You will never break it. Your stupid face keeps hitting the brick ceiling.
There is much bouncing around like he’s on something during this.

And finally another from our buddy Mike Davis this said on the same show some time ago:
Acting Attorney General. Before I get chased out of town with my Trump pardon I will rein hell on Washington D.C. We have talked about this Ben, I have five lists ready to go and they’re growing. List number one, we’re gonna fire. We’re gonna fire a lot of people in the executive branch and the deep state. Number two we’re gonna indict. We’re gonna indict Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and James Biden and every other scumball sleazeball Biden except for the five year old granddaughter who they refused to acknowledge for five years until the political pressure got to Joe Biden. Number three we’re gonna deport. We’re gonna deport a lot of people. 10 million people and growing, uh anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents. We’re gonna put kids in cages. It’s gonna be glorious.

You're right. One of my trans friends was brutally attacked tonight. That's not a problem in Trumpy land.

Thanks, she was meeting her niece for dinner at Savant in Midtown near Wayne State. She is in stable condition from what her mother posted. The only saving grace is that it was on her way to dinner and not from, so her niece knew something was wrong when she didn’t show. Found her in some parking garage. She’s at Henry Ford. They think she will be there at least through tonight to monitor if not longer. Apparently, she has facial lacerations, bruised hip, and a bump on the head with a possible concussion from being struck. Her attacker didn’t take any money. Her mother was obviously upset and posted on Facebook. We are all thankful it wasn’t worse.

Polymarket gives Trump a 99.7 percent chance of ultimately winning the popular vote. The gap will no doubt shrink, but there's just not enough votes left out there for her to overtake him.
