That has always been the plan, yes. Did you read any part of Project 2025? I did. I’m Canadian. It reads like a dystopian, post-apocalyptic novel. A world where women, blacks, Jews, immigrants, and all are put in the place that insecure, loser, immature, White men want them to be, and stay. Where compassion is a dirty word , and being American is not a protection in the world - the only protection is money. It is a plan for a world run for the wealthy, using tax dollars for their own. This is the secret back room monsters who hovered in the Republican Party for generations: people who say “small government”, meaning “no regulation to raping the world, abusing workers, no safety standards, no drug testing, no food safety… they say “government waste” and mean “we think all government spending on public good is a waste. We think entitlements people work for are a “waste”, and they are filled with fraud, because WE commit fraud when we see government money; we see government money as a hand out for nothing, and we plan to exploit that at a massive scale, for ourselves.” People hear these ideas and THOUGHT that meant: a little less admin, move faster, maybe new computer systems, more accurate records… they said “illegal immigrants are criminals” and people thought they meant “undocumented, unknown, unvetted immigrants who are involved organized crime.” The document spells it out. It says right in black and white they plan to fire most federal employees and then replace them with pre screened ideological loyalists, who were invited to apply before the election was held. They had already done pre- hiring training for 20,000 people before the election. The recruiting for employees pages were extremely open, that they will not accept anyone working in the Federal government with diverging opinions, or anyone who isn’t 100% willing to ride or die for Trump. They said it. Then they began doing it. They do not plan to hold presidential elections I. 2028. You can tell by the way the news media tip toe around them in terror, the way they do not give a shit what they do, how corrupt it is, no one dares fight back. America is now Ukraine in 2007. They are Hungary today. Brazil under Bolsonaro. Do not forget for a moment. Do not relax or say “maybe it’s exaggeration. Maybe it’s normal. Maybe it won’t be so bad.” That is how the fuckers win. And this is the last hand at the highest stakes poker game ever played, winner take all.

Thank you for telling it like it is now and has been my entire life. I took GOP as "legit" for a hot second of my long life even though I abhorred positions they have embraced for-as you noted-generations. They have completely ruined my country now & it will take generations (at least) to claw back to anything approximating homeostasis,and generations more to clarify, amend & reinforce our Constitution in order to maintain balance and safety for humans both here and abroad.

Dorothy's avatar

The troops are not needed here in L.A.. We have enough well-trained police who know how to handle any violent knuckleheads. These protests are not riots. The violence is from anarchists and opportunists, and their numbers are small. The Felon In Chief is trying to discredit and malign our fairly elected officials in CA, nor does he respect their authority. This is intentional in order to make Gov Newsom and Mayor Bass look bad. Both are doing a great job, unlike the ICE thugs who are snatching and grabbing hard working people from their jobs, farm workers from the fields, and children from their schools.

If the President ... in this case, the Felon in the Oval Office ... federalizes the National Guard, the governor cannot do anything to stop it from happening. If nothing else, this will be the catalyst for Californians to vote for secession when the referendum gets on the ballot (hopefully in the next election).

It certainly sounds like the plan is to federalize the National Guard. S Miller is over on other social media referring to protests as an "insurrection" (J6 was just a tourist visit, of course)

I live 2 hours NE of Los Angeles. The LA Times is reporting that 2,000 California National Guard troops will be federalized and deployed to Los Angeles. Gov. Newsom is furious. Read about it here:

Thank you for that link.

Full disclosure that I tend to take much of the LA Times reporting w a shaker full of salt these days.

The reporting on this seems to be all over the place. Reached friends in LA (closer to LA, north to Ventura, south to Long Beach and into Orange County) - seems that there's a lot of confusion even closer to LA.

And Newsom should be furious.

Let's stop paying them? It's hard to not pay taxes but it's easy to not pay interest to banks. How about it want to hear how we can do it? Just the interest, keep paying the principle, this will be leverage. And share the savings you make each month from not paying the banksters interest. Keep 50% of it and give 50% of it away to someone you know, someone you can talk to. Not some remote corporation or company or individual. Maybe someone in your town that can't afford electricity, or a small business that is struggling and doing good things. This money will go to them every month remember, and they will love that and support what you're doing. Tell them it's because you're not paying interest to the banks. The banks wouldn't want this getting out. It takes years to process an eviction. We need to have audacity. Pretty soon they will rip the money out from under us anyway and bring in their CBDC well that's what they are planning. But you know the old saying "the best laid plans..."

Are you a banker? The only thing paying the principle only on bank credit cards will do is make you stay in debt longer! Plus, people would be paying MORE over time. 🙄This will do nothing to get the the MAGAT regime out of the Oval Office.
