'The law says that federal agents cannot brutalize the citizenry. But the practical reality is that the fed agents outnumber and outgun local law enforcement. So they cannot be arrested for brutalizing the citizenry. The law of the jungle is already here.' www.thebulwark.com/p/the-law-is...
The Law Is “Fake and Gay”
Turns out the Trump domination theory of foreign policy applies to domestic politics, too.

Facts don’t care about MAGA fairytales.

Job growth is consistently stronger under Democrats. Under Trump, it’s a mess. Both times.

Have you guys been asleep, still?
Everything donald trump has done since Nov. 5, 2020 has been what "has happened in Argentina, Russia, Turkey and Venezuela." One major reason we sane, non-MAGA Americans have been screaming their offenses out and asking lawmakers to stop them, esp after 1/6/2021.
Prof. Justin Wolfers warns: a US president has never before threatened a Fed Chair with jail. It has happened in Argentina, Russia, Turkey and Venezuela. That's how strongmen crush institutions, torch currencies and trigger hyperinflation. This path ends badly.

Excellent question. It seems like it is the latter and not the former. A general strike and boycott until the regime falls is the answer. Shut this mother down!
A friend of mine who is a U.S. Citizen who lives in Poland said he keeps being asked by co-workers, "Have the American people felt enough pain yet, or have they decided they need to feel a whole lot more...before they fucking do something?"

Why do this? Because you're irritated that people don't like what you are doing?

We can't unsee this. It's horrific and cruel.

But they will get theirs...history....remember history....

Loyalty to white supremacy never saves you.

Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

I think they would find that if you raise your voice at Donald Trump and yell at him, he would cower and run into the other room
I will just note that the TWO Republican members of Congress who have spoken out forcefully against the Trump admin’s criminal investigation of Powell (Tillis & Bacon) have both previously announced their retirements.
