It is not a controversial opinion to demand that a rogue military police force who terrorizes its citizens as its sole dictate be dissolved forever and never allowed to re-form.
What's controversial is saying, "maybe we can teach the terrorists to be less murder-y."

This is insane. "We're open to training Proud Boys and insurrectionists even though they tried to overthrow your election."

A handful of GOP lawmakers are showing an openness to Democrats’ demand that immigration officers should get more training in the wake of the shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis.

I've reached my lifetime quota for "interesting times." Give me bland times. Boring times. Normie times, one could even say. Times that are both dull and unexciting. Load me up with times that feel stale and uninspiring. That's the good stuff right there.

Not many people know this but if you steal Usain Bolt's gold medal from off of his chest you become the fastest person on Earth. You have to catch him first, though, either by running faster than him or by using your army

I keep saying. This calls for 3rd Amendment solutions.
Many friends asking what it is like in Minnesota right now. This video-clip tells. Masked men w/ guns in ordinary places (gas stations, grocery stores, cruising streets) intimidating ordinary people & instilling fear. As a terrorism expert, I think about the logic of government instilling fear.

begging people not to preemptively hand Trump powers he does not have and has no practical means of accomplishing
the scope of his actual abuses is quite bad enough on its own

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.
