The founders didn’t even want to give the country a standing army. What precedent is there, contemporary or modern, where the judicial has its own direct enforcement arm?

In theory, police fill this role…it’s kind of in the name “law enforcement.” But in practice they are something else, they can be captured and corrupted like anyone else.

In theory, the military swears an oath to defend the Constitution. The Secretary of the Navy could decide, for instance, to order a military coup, storm the White House with Marines, and arrest Trump, Musk, et al. But this is extremely risky, both in tactical terms and in public image. At the end of the day, The People elected Trump, and they would be dishonoring that essential choice. Unless Trump does something like send B-52s to carpet bomb Los Angeles, the military will be determined to stay apolitical.

You’re all looking for some play-by-play guidebook or ruleset in breaking the rules. You will not find one, it is an oxymoron. The founders risked arrest and death by hanging by setting this country in motion, they were not following the rules either. I obviously won’t extol their moral character in whole, but they knew that the divine right of kings was wrong and that representative government was the future, and they acted upon these beliefs.

I’ve always thought you can make a lot of sense of Trump and his actions if you remember he’s a degenerate real estate developer and looks at many issues through that lens. The cost of building materials (steel). Wind turbines fucking up “the view.” His weird spat with low-flow toilets. His stupid wall.

The insinuation that if you see any woman or person of color in a position of power, prestige, or even competence, they got there because of identity politics and not their own merit, is directly bigoted, not even concealed by the first or second degree. The corollary, of course, is that you can only trust white men to do these important jobs correctly.

1. Who’s angry mobs are going to be victorious, is the question.
2. That’s not where things will end. That’s where they’ll start.

Throw this one on there for good measure.

The American owner class dabbled in this before. Now they are going to succeed.

The judges in January 6 cases should probably be fearful for their careers if not their lives.

“The already racist state is not doing enough racism, so we need to step in and pump those numbers up! It’s our patriotic duty!”

Not even two weeks in, folks.

Finally, one might say.

Remember when she chased down an underage survivor of the Parkland shooting and harassed him insinuating he was a crisis actor?

Fuck her, she’s garbage. Make her miserable.

The way I’ve heard that they’ll get around that for now is that they will only provide logistics and clerical support and won’t be acting as armed law enforcement themselves. But watch very, very carefully for that envelope to be pushed as time goes on.

Biden trying to pad his “legacy” like he’s not the James Buchanan of the modern era.
