Congress Blinked and the Military Will Pay the Price
How a procedural trick let a president keep war powers the Founders never intended him to have
medium.com
Recent history tells us exactly how this pattern works. Military action occurs. Congress is informed later. Rationales shift. The mission narrows rhetorically while widening operationally. Oversight becomes retrospective. Responsibility becomes diffuse. Accountability disappears.
Does this legal theory hold hope of justice for ICE shooting victims? Good & Pretti “were looking for and contributing to creating a better world, & so it is so important to keep their vision alive & to utilize the summary execution framework to avoid this happening to anybody else,” Howland said.

Eventually, people in countries that are in the process of flipping from democracy to fascism figure out that they’re now living in a dictatorship; by then, however, it’s usually too late.

THE COVERUP
DHS agents physically excluded the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) from the scene of the crime, ignoring a warrant signed by a state judge. A few hours later, the feds packed up all the evidence and abandoned the crime scene, allowing it to be trampled by the angry crowd.

Pretti steps between them, and the officer pepper sprays him. Pretti begins to interact with the person who was pushed, an exchange that is inaudible in the footage. An officer appears to try to pull him away and is joined by other agents who attempt to force him to the ground. He was shot 10 times.

All of this is BS! For starters, Trump isn’t getting rid of cosplaying Nazi Greg Bovino because he cares that two Americans were killed by his MAGA militia. He cares that their murders are making him look bad politically. Trump ONLY cares about Trump.

Their real message — and Trump’s, Stephen Miller’s, and JD Vance’s real message — to Democrats and to America is:
“Challenge us & we will kill you. And we will get away with it. That’s how powerful we are, so you shouldn’t even try to resist.”
And it appears, indeed, that they will get away with it.

Alex Pretti was not known cause he had higher callings in life. He had a limited social media footprint, which suggests he spent much more of his time relating to real people in the real world than do the internet-poisoned men who ended his life.
