They will keep doing more and more horrible things until they get a reaction from the decent people out there. Its what they want. So they have a excuse for their terror.

I think Republicans are counting on it.

My thoughts exactly. They want to use it to recruit bloodthirsty people who are willing to do their dirty work.

Maybe, but I think it is worse than that. They are looking to create a reaction big enough that they can plausibly convince their idiotic followers that a state of emergency is called for. Then they can hold off elections until it is "safe" enough to do at a later time. They have been trying to start riots and race wars with the ice and the martial law. So, now they are resorting to practically requesting terrorist attacks

Hegseth dressed as the tasmanian devil, yeah yeah yeah yeah, spits WUHAAHhhhh Yeah yeah need more army, BLEYahhhhh

Surprised he had a statement to make at all besides "i have only just heard about it, I don't have an opinion at this time. I'll have to look into it more. (And never speak of it again)", let alone actual (mild) criticism.

Don't buy a lottery ticket today guys. The lowest probability thing in the world has already happened.

That's what happened in Iraq. Abu Ghraib radicalized a whole generation of folks against the occupation.

1st thing he’s said I agree with.

Because he came to this “conclusion” days after many many people already did and sees the bad optics forming even in his own party.

Of course, if Trump decides to show it, Johnson will fall all over himself to say it's the best idea in the world.

Mike Johnson would do this same thing if Trump decided to publicly execute his wife, he is a worthless coward.

Holy shit he's getting Mitch McConnell face.

You're so right! I didn't know Stephen Colbert could do such a good Mitch McConnell impression 🤣 ...oh wait

All sith begin to look this way.

Hopefully he gets McCockle's fate soon, too. ☝🏼

It's like carcinization, but it's tortoisization.

Wait. Is McConnell coming back as one of those prehistoric reverse tortoises that look like they swallowed their shells whole? 🤪

Having the power to vote without having to have two brain cells to run together? ... Isn't he already there?

So are too many of US voters, so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Pretty sure it's universal, but for sure it always hurts more when it is the strongest colonizing power that is stuck in the fascist power loop.

Let’s be real, there’s only so much of any Cluster B most people can take before trying to escape by any means available. Usually fleeing in the opposite direction with a complete address and phone number change. Trump is the most life force sucking of the 4 types.

This guy must be fried. It’s his own fault, truly, but even talking about retiring to Louisiana sounds a little too spot on.

At this point, I’m not surprised he’s talking back. There’s probably a swath of these guys looking forward to midterms as a potential escape that’s someone else’s fault because they have no balls to quit on their own.

I agree with everything you wrote but the last sentence.

The swath of chuds looking for an ego saving out are a bigger problem to decency than a mere lack of sufficiently robust cojones.

A mere coward can find a backbone.

These chuds have whored themselves soul to asshole with a clearer view of the evil which would be empowered by their short-sightedness than you or I know, as we can mostly infer.

All for the merest piece of power in an even more twisted hierarchy that they are to help usher in, and it is only the possibility of failure and losing the promised in-group protection that gives them their instinct to activate the duplicity subroutines within the speech centers of their rectum.

In many ways, they're worse than the actual "masterminds" behind this wave of scum, and I'd see them all scourged out of existence, first, if it were possible.

These cowards make me more ashamed of sharing a taxonomy with them than the actual fuckers who would see me dead of out actual twisted conviction.

Is it wrong to wish for a little eugenics to rid our species of selfish, spineless morally vacuous trash? I mean it probably wouldn't work 100% if we just killed them all in one go. There would be more. But it would surely help prevent at least a few of their bastard children from being raised to be carbon copies of their shithead fathers.

Of course. Nazis could not have done what they had done without ready enlistees in the army and regular citizens being narcs.

There are always bullies. SS and Trumps new ICE types. But how far could they get without all the rest backing them up, through inaction or otherwise?

Though the roll over and play dead with inaction crowd is always an active majority. Right now as well. In part, it’s that human element Palanuik references in Fight Club, the start a fight with someone assignment. The other part is, middle of the bell curve, not leadership material, but people who wait for a leader to follow.

Meanwhile, the constitution burns.

I think you underestimate the level of daddy issues among Christian Americans.

Trump is no father figure.

Then why do his supporters keep saying things like "daddy's back!" (Rep. Byron Johnson, R-FL), or chanting "daddy Trump!" at rallies?

If you grew up in a particular kind of household, Trump is sadly familiar.

Neither is Yahweh but they have a lot in common with Trump.

Go back in time about two years and tell that to his cult!

Isn't that why they're doing it? To rally their base? Oh...he didn't mean recruiting MAGA?

I agree; I'm sure aspiring ICE agents would view such content as inspirational.

It's supposed to be. 🤬

I mean yeah, Republicans everywhere would use this as a donation/recruiting event.

*will be

How long until USA has a public execution equivalent to Netflix you can subscribe to for $6.99 per month. It might be called Deathflix and it will be as popular and as the fascist-friendly Taylor Swift.

They’re everything they accuse Asia of being.

Sounds like Idiocracy
