The Department of Homeland Security is looking to boost its deployment of the military on the streets of the U.S. in order to help carry out Donald Trump’s immigration policies, according to a leaked memo written by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s brother.
Usually this form of dictatorship falls pretty quickly.
Wish I had your optimism. It takes work to pull the fucking grubby mitts of authoritarians out of the machine, it doesn’t always happen automatically.
The bigger issue is that even if this does collapse quickly, the damage is largely done. Who knows how much data and accumulated years of knowledge are gone, to say nothing of all the agencies and policies that are just burnt to the ground. It took DECADES to get the EPA to even a level that was largely useful. Even if we come out the other side of this, it’ll be in a radically changed form, possibly not even as the United States. I can very easily see a power vacuum and federal collapse from the fact that the federal government, aside from the actual levers of power like the judiciary and the military, is just a skeleton now.
Frankly I could see far worse than federal collapse, as in I wouldn’t be surprised if some areas devolved into city states at best. The economy is rat fucked to the point where anything coming out the other side that isn’t already exceptionally robust is unlikely, which basically is a list of the Western states, North East, and the Mid West Ohio not withstanding.
That’s what the billionaires want, billionaires can own city-states.
I feel like they’re missing the fact that most of them will be wholly irrelevant if USD collapses remember most of them hold their wealth in stocks and the ones who don’t have no practical way of enforcing their power. They aren’t the patricians of the late Western Roman empire who were both oligarchs and generals with loyal house troops, they are closer to the Italian city state patricians chucking around mercenaries and backstabbing.
They own enough other shit to survive a dollar collapse, they buy up everything they want on the cheap.
Yeah how’d that work for the Romans in the East when the Visigoths, Franks, and Ostrogoths ripped apart the West and the Easts investments collapsed. You are assuming that American society holds up in any practical way, I don’t think it will I think the USD will be worth only as much as it’s good for toilet paper. The US economy is too weak as a whole to support itself if it faulters anytime soon, everything is top down and much like a top heavy ship itll flip and sink.
Not if they’re dead.
An actually competent government could get the EPA kicking ass, fast. It’s absolutely doable. The same group that’s motivated enough to fix shit would be likely to keep going and undo damage as fast or faster than it was done.
Talk about plans and options everybody.
Plus the people who are suppose to protect us the people only want to protect the lesser majority that likes to hate, because the protectors are haters also.
It takes a mere handful of decades.
This is the reality (look at Russia for those in denial).
uh, I’m looking at belarus
Release the epstein list.
The younger Hegseth was a podcast producer and social media poster for a conservative think-tank before his brother’s rise from the Fox & Friends Weekend couch to being in charge of the world’s most powerful military.
The USA is looking like a real tin-pot dictatorship these days.
That is democracy’s problem.
Any idiot can rule a country if they get enough votes.
It’s worse when it’s fixed for the idiots.
it’s worse when it’s bought for the idiots
Why not both?
Democracy is the government of the people for the people by the people. But the people are retarded.
the tin-est of pots.
Will they be dressed in new uniforms with swastikas?
US flags and unit patches will have to suffice.
Don’t forget the unironic Punisher logo patches.
Punisher skull is the swastika
Socially acceptable Totenkopf.
Ah yes, so they can deport a total of 2 people like they did in LA. Waste of money, time, and people’s lives.
Sure, but while they’re on these streets, they might as well ensure there’s no illegal immigrants attempting to vote in the midterms. Anybody brown looking in line to vote will need to come to the station for questioning first.
“immigration policies”
right.
Good thing I have trimmed down my holdings on American stocks.
I hope time proves me wrong, but USA having a violent turmoil is coming.
Not going to happen. The elite have the population by the short and curlies. Nobody wants to do anything cause they’ll loose their health care.
Nobody wants to do anything cause they’ll
looselose their health care.Most of them already don’t have health care. People won’t do anything because they want to avoid the concentration camps.
This is absolutely the wrong energy. Stop spreading it. Spreading this crap is what enemies do.
No more.
“Due to the sensitive nature of the meeting, minimal written policy or background information can be provided in this briefing memo,” the memo says.
Asked for clarification of the memo’s intentions, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughin declined comment. The New Republic obtained it on the condition that we refrain from posting the original document, so we posted much of the text of it here. We omitted some logistical and biographical details.

The Imperial Boomerang always comes back to you
We didn’t need a leak to know this, but I guess it’s nice to have confirmation. It was clear from the start that this was part of the plan.
Will the troops start to goose step? Which version, Russian or German?
Ah, Mr. Leakseth, what a gift to America.
It’s a civil war.
It well be bloodless if the left allows it. And it sure fucking looks like the left is allowing it.
Boomerang came back around and knocked us the fuck out.
