The Authoritarian Operation in Portland Is Only a Dress Rehearsal
A major American city is being softly Pinochet’ed in broad daylight.

And that makes it true? Constitutional rights are being violated right and left in Portland? Someone call Adam Schiff, Trump is getting impeached for this! !! !!!
the thing about trumps heavy handed and illegal approach is it discredits his rule. some of the security state members which carries out trumps orders have a moral awareness about what they are doing. so when they stop carrying out the bosses orders, you approach a revolutionary moment when trumps rule ends. this is what happened in the eastern european revolutions. lucas also illustrated this in return of the jedi and thats why its such a popular trilogy.
you also have the NDAA which chris hedges sued obama over which is about indefinite detention. the empire is turning in on itself as all empires do.
I begged the asylum to not let you have internet.

As we welcome the New Year, let's take a look at the U.S. Congress priorities for 2018. #ResistCongress #PentagonBudget #NewYear
College -not all its cracked up to be. For most all it does is add thousands of dollars to their debts
Health care-could use a little help.
Social Services-too many freeloaders the way it is now--Why would you want more?
State budget shortfalls. Quit giving away SO MUCH. (Mn. has had a budget surplus for quite a few years now)
Fund Puerto Rico's recovery. Puerto Rico hates us--always has. Screw them.
Infrastructure-- I agree with most of the stuff but not the airport part. Too much money is wasted on small airports that only have 3 or 4 flights a day out of them. Our local one is a prime example. EVERY year they seem to get money for more million dollar expansions and its all for 3 flights a day--only from here to Minneapolis. Once last year I flew out and there were only 6 passengers and we had 7 TSA agents and a local cop shaking us down. What a waste.
WAHHHHHHHHH, CHAD WOLF CALLED MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM "MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM" AND CALLED THE "PROTESTERS WHAT THEY ARE. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Acting Chad. We need a senate confirmed secretary of homeland security. I find it troubling a man not vetted by the senate is ordering a secret police force to kidnap political dissidents. I don’t see how that fits with anyone’s vision of America.

It's true! We've been headed toward a dictatorship ever since George Washington led 13,000 troops to quell the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794.
Watching late night B movies on cable again?
imagine if it was a democrat doing this.

Democrats actually get their cabinet members through the senate. Trump picks loyalists that don’t stand a chance and names them acting secretary to do his bidding until their time expires.

The Alt Right would call out their militias to wage war against the United States.
jesse ventura said politicians shouldnt have their party listed anywhere. then it would force the people to look at their policies
Or do like Obama and create a bunch of "tsars" who were independent of congressional oversight.
