Ron Filipkowski: It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make

inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans.

Just as it's no mistake that Trump & Co. continue to falsely characterize US Democratic cities as 'war zones' - cities he's OCCUPIED under bullshit pretexts like 'invasions' 'enemy within' and 'fighting crime.'

It's a fascist takeover, under a "gross usurpation of power."

If they can repel from black helicopters in Chicago, throw US Citizens in the back of UHauls, and zip tie toddlers…the country is now fully a fascist pit.

We must continue peaceful resistance. We need leadership, other than Indisible. There needs to be a Call To Action.

We need a Lech Walensa .

None of them are qualified for the jobs CONGRESS approved them to do. Trump chose them because they are too unqualified to even know how incompetent they are, and Trump knew they would never challenge any of his orders because they don't know any better. I still believe that four years from now they will be called on to answer for their crimes while they cry, "We were just following orders!" and they don't even understand the horror behind those words.

I can certainly hope you’re wrong, Jimvanhise, but I’m afraid you’re not.

In the night and a 84 yr old Vietnam veteran using a walker, and his 84 yr old wife are fair game, Chump, Shithead Miller and Whiskey Pete Kegbreath will do it all.

This will put any remaining doubters in the military on notice as to what Trump's plan really is. When truly insane and clearly illegal orders are issued, they will be ready to react in unison. First they will say refuse to carry out those order. Then we will see what happens.

Every day Trump and his minions over reach just a little further. Sooner or later we will reach the tipping point.

I’ve noticed ads were extremely heavy for the NO vote a couple weeks ago. Now all I see are YES ads. Makes me think they have something up their sleeve and told NO folks to quit wasting money on ads.

coffins were taken off the plane. He said while he disagreed with Obama’s policies as president, he respected his conduct during the solemn occasion. He then said he could respect Obama’s action despite his massive corruption as president. So incredible that these people who are so accomplished in some areas of their life can succumb to the right wing propaganda machine.

I am hoping that top generals will never allow Trump to totally go full dictator. That they care about the Constitution enough to refuse orders.....eventually.
