That cabinet meeting was quite something. I don't know how an American (even the MAGAs) can watch that and not think it's eerily parallel to a Kim Jong Un cabinet meeting and having a bunch of puppets heap over the top fake praise to their dear leader.

I'm surprised Bondi didn't break down and cry just to be in Trump's presence.

Like Hitler at his maps moving imaginary armies (they had been wiped out and no longer existed) around and planning defences and attacks. Generals who were present didn’t speak up for fear they’d be fired — or worse.

Unfortunately the MAGA world sees this as a feature and not a glitch.

You have to hear the whole thing. Apparently kids are buying Tylenol, Xanax and adderall off the steeets and can now safely resume buying them.

Out of all the countless clips that display Trump's absurd stupidity, this is by far my favorite:

While watching that I kept picturing Stewie there, giving Trump the “Lois, Lois, Lois” treatment. Don, Don, Don, Don

Oddly, I just listened to a podcast where Trump was challenged about a clearly photoshopped image. The liar in chief kept insisting it’s genuine despite evidence to the contrary.

Whitmer was interviewed by a left wing podcaster where she explained the odd photos of her at the WH holding her folders over her face and her meetings with Trump. She also spoke about us Canadians too.

258 million American lives saved in Trump's first 100 days is 75% of their entire population... I wonder if everyone knows how near death they actually were, really makes you think doesn't it?

Do the grown ass adults in that cabinet meeting fellate him with words for career advancement and behind the scenes graft, or do they truly believe in His Holiness?

There is certainly a dollar value on me selling my soul, I will admit, but with these people it's legitimately hard to tell.

I wonder how concerned we should be about this executive order?

Quote:
Sec. 4. Using National Security Assets for Law and Order. (a) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement.
(b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Attorney General, shall determine how military and national security assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, and personnel can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime.

Business as usual or the first step in Commander-in-Chief leveraging his control of the military to have soldiers in the streets (in order to ensure regime security and control)?

Trump is turning me into a conspiracy theorist.

Not sure any conspiracy. What would be the need for this order, unless you had intentions to possibly deploy troops on home soil. And has already said he wouldn't hesitate to act against naturalized citizens if they were 'very very very bad people'.
There's always a first (and/or 2nd, 3rd and 4th) steps

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's an executive order in black and white.

Deploying soldiers to fight crime - it says it right there.

It's cute they added 'non-lethal' like a soldier who has trained to be as lethal as hell can just turn that off when #### hits the fan.

Deploy the 50 cal paintball gun!

Might be necessary for a 'well-regulated militia' of citizens to stand up and defend the constitution. Perhaps founding fathers were onto something

I'd put my money on most of the well regulated militia types supporting the authoritarian.

Not supporting authoritarianism, per se, but probably still blindly supporting the regime. Which is the same.
How soon before martial law is declared to stay some new national emergency? Thank goodness 270M lives were saved in the first 100 days
