“We keep our country safe. We’ll do whatever we can to keep our country safe,” Trump said ahead of the “Melania” film premiere at the Kennedy Center, responding to a reporter’s question about whether he would pull agents out of Minnesota.

“So, you’re not pulling back?” the reporter asked again.

“No, no. Not at all,” Trump replied.

The president’s remarks stand in stark contrast to Homan’s position outlined on Thursday, in which he stated that staff from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were crafting a “draw down plan.”

It’s pretty clear that ICEatzgruppen is far more of a clear and present danger to normal people living in the states than terrorists are

Yay, forever war on domestic soil

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

It makes sense you know? Fascism trives on war. The only time you can really control war is within your own borders. (Well, not really but they aren't that smart)

So why not create forever wars in the states that are repeatedly disloyal?

I would LOVE to Pull ICE out of Minnesota but we're ABOUT to get BILLIONS more in Funding so WHY would I?

What Trump wants is to stay in power for the rest of his life.

The easiest way for him to do that is to cancel all elections going forward.

The easiest way for him to excuse that is if there is an active armed domestic resistance.

The easiest way for him to have an active armed resistance is if he deploys the military domestically and oppresses the citizens.

The easiest way to deploy the military domestically is through the Insurrection Act.

The easiest way to excuse invoking the Insurrection Act in Blue States is if citizens are killing federal agents in those states.

(We are here today)

The easiest way for him to get citizens to kill federal agents is if they are being oppressed and murdered by those agents.

The easiest way to get agents to oppress and murder people is to deploy them where they're not welcome and tell them they have free rein.

The easiest way to deploy federal agents where they're not wanted is to have a huge manhunt.

The easiest people for the federal government to target in a huge manhunt are immigrants, legal and illegal, because the federal government has an immigration police force.

If he wants to be president for the rest of his life, I know of a compromise that'll let him do that and adhere to the 2-term limit

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 0 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I said easiest way, but that's technically easier. I don't think Trump would do it except possibly if his downfall and complete ruin was inevitable and imminent.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago

He doesn't have to do it if he doesn't want to

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

If you resist him he might do all those things and remain in power forever.

If you don't resist him he won't have to do them. He'll just remain in power forever.

Trump has played his hand so hard that anybody who is capable of thinking for themselves will be voting against Republicans in November. If there can be a "blue wave", then we have a small amount of hope for avoiding that future without violence. If violence escalates quickly, then that election can even be canceled.

If people still don't vote against MAGA and GOP in November, then America is doomed with or without violence.

At least, that's the way I see it. Resistance is important, but violence before this election may be counterproductive. Of course, if you assume, probably correctly, that American citizens will never pull their heads out of their asses, then I guess it doesn't matter.

Vote for me now and you never have to vote again!

The Epstein Wars must go on.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 3 points 22 hours ago

I need clarification. How can the Epstein Wars continue without THE EPSTEIN FILES?
