President Trump

This is the most frightening aspect of the whole drama. Just bonkers….and illegal per Posse Comitatus. You can’t use troops on US soil to round up Americans.

But the only thing that can stop that is the commanders on the ground refusing an order (and likely being replaced/court-martialled), or the soldiers themselves refusing to act.

Yes. Soldiers’ standing orders are to obey every legal order and to refuse illegal orders. Not easy in practice with a Trump about.
My standing orders are to jump to it when SWMBO barks her commands.
 
Now the shitgibbon shutdown has started, I'm thinking of opening a book on how long it will last before (a) the democrats fold or (b) it's declared a national emergency and martial law is imposed and the final democratic hurdle falls

Already there. Several of the actions already taken depend on emergency or similar being declared. Tariff imposition required declaration of a national emergency, national guard deployment (effectively martial law) "rebellion" etc.

 
When Hegseth finished his speech you could here a pin drop. Not one fuckin clap which he seemed shocked by. Trump had noticed this so had to say they must cheer him on, which again failed. Can you imagine what must of gone through those generals heads. Five time draft dodger and a weekend fox news host coming out with utter bollocks.
They were probably thinking "who the fuck does this bellend think he is"
 
They have the House, Senate and Presidency. It’s not a case of the Dems having to fold.
They have to fold to give them the majority they need to get the finance bill through and reopen government, else option (b) applies
 
Hegseth speech.
1. Get your hair cut, take off that woke beard.
2. Get in the gym and make sure that ladies can’t reach the same level of strength as men.
3. Arrest some citizens, they are revolting.
Er… that’s it.
 
The get rid of the fatties is quite a good ploy, I would assume most of them have been in for years and are therefore more likely to stand up against illegal orders. All of a sudden they are sacked because they can’t make the weight/fitness goals, so who replaces them, younger fitter and more likely to not question orders men, I say men because I guarantee you’ll not see any women near the top.
I think now we are in the end game, the government is shut down, Trump claiming the countries over run with violence and he’s basically just given the military the ability to operate on US soil, nothing is stopping this bar a bullet or a coup.
 
I'm not being overly dramatic to say the country has gone. They gave him these powers and he is using them, and then some.
It's basically up to the military if they want to support illegal orders or not.
Whatever happens, it's going to be messy/bloody.

We are watching history being made...
Look how far down the precipice the US has fallen in only 9 months. Theres still 3 years left!

Justice dept is gone. Supreme Court is gone. Military next.
 
The best way for every day Americans to put pressure on him is to stop buying from Amazon, stop using Facebook, Instagram etc. and actually use what little power they have to scare the billionaires who can then bring Trump down.

At the moment it seems like they're just accepting it bar a few protests.

I don't think Amazon is enabling him.. it's scared of him. Same with google.. if you notice they aren't suppressing anti-trump voices. Sorta like ABC/ Disney bringing Jimmy back.. because they don't like Trump but are scared of him.

Facebook/ Instagram/ Twitter on the other hand are full on board the fascist train.

You're right that nefarious right wing content isn't always obvious. They drip it in to seemingly innocent things. It is meant to slowly stew people's brains.

On Instagram it’s pretty bad. Lately Instagram has been trying to get me to engage with violent videos like people fighting each other or racial rage bait and at night it almost always starts flooding me with women with beach ball sized boobs discretely showing me their private parts, this despite me not liking a single real/content of those types nor have I ever shared or followed anything like that. In fact the only people I follow are related to snowboarding and football and cricket.

Twitter/ X. That's the express route.. it's so bad I don't post/ look there anymore.

Watching the manipulation happen in real time is scary and concerning considering how many people use these platforms.

Oddly on my YouTube account I don’t get any of that and it pretty much sticks to subjects I actually like and I still think it's a benefit to society and to us unlike Twitter/ X which is a total cesspool/ bog of scum of the earth.
