Trump suggests taking over New York City and Washington
-
Can someone list which laws he would break if he did this?
As if that has stopped him from doing things before

Without context, surely so. With context I think a moment to process is all that is required. I guess it would have been a good idea not to name two important places in the US the same thing.
i think americans get used to it but yeah it’s kind of shit. to be fair washington state used to just be a bunch of weird religious nuts and natives when they were naming the capital city, and not much else. not really a great excuse but it’s where we’re at ig. maybe in the 19th century the continental distance between the two made it feel less like there’d be any reasonable chance to confuse them, too.

The apoplectic establishment reaction to Mamdani is not about the evil of affordable housing or solving food deserts. It is suggesting arrest of Netanyahu.
States and cities are under fire from federal Republicans that either must resort to higher taxes on some people, or significantly increase desperation levels that will increase crime, and validate more the needs for fascist takeovers of cities/states that don't fund anti-desperation programs.

It kind of is that too, its a real slippery slope where if people see someone with some fairly mild goals actually improve the lives of the people they have sworn to represent, other people might ask for it in their states. Cant have the people seeing value in a government representing them, how would u be able to balance that while continuing to let the corporations you really represent keep no lube fucking them to death?

He means fuck the mods because they ban and delete comments that even hint at violence or Revolution, which only helps the oppressor. We are never going to get a better deal if every time we talk about getting mad, we get shut up and shut down.
It was a huge issue on Reddit and is becoming one here with the mods who just ban everyone who gets madYup. This honestly is my biggest gripe about moderation, because it is more often than not about regulating realtalk, in favor of a negative peace.
I don't want civil war, because I have to risk my body and bloody my hands. Unfortunately, that choice isn't wholly mine to make, because the Trump Regime insists on destroying people. We need to be able to speak freely and begin cooperating together, so that fewer people die in service of a free democracy. It is for the sake of making things less awful, that we must be able to talk about what must be done.

For anyone still unsure, it is time to purchase weapons and start training. I don't care what episode of Real Housewives of Whatever is on this week. It's time to arm up and accept the reality that you may actually need to take up arms against your government if things continue on the track we're on. You don't want to be caught behind the curve on something like this.
You Americans always skip to shootouts for some reason. You went from "I don't have stamps at home so I am skipping voting this decade" to fantasising about shootouts with police real fucking quick, skipping millions way more useful and way more non-community-destructing ways to resist, as if resistance isn't the point, but dying "glorious" death is.

Goomba fallacy.

Laws don't apply to him.
both because he is legally allowed to break the law, and even if anyone tries to sue him to stop, the supreme court will end the knee and alow it.
there's no rule of law in the US.
asking what law he broke is 100% irrelevant.

Sure. That 1911 will sure help against that V-22 dumping Marines on your front lawn.

Thats not how it works.

Marines would get wrecked in a long term occupation on us soil. It is just completely counter to their skill set.

I need to seek one of those out

How does it work? Is there like a website or something?

They’ve got their Revolutionary Guard Corps now, so your best hope now is probably for Baron Greenback to choke on his own tongue or something and then the rest of the regime tear each other apart over control.

The US lost in both Vietnam and Afghanistan because occupation is hard. There isn't an army on the planet that can even come close to taking on the US military in open combat, but insurgencies are a completely different animal.
Social media and AI mass surveillance might make a difference, but I kinda doubt it.
I don't think this is where we are headed, but it wouldn't be an automatic win for the military. Unfortunately, the people who end up in charge after an uprising usually end up being worse than the people they replace.

They may not be able to occupy an entire city (without bombing it to the ground) but when they come knocking at your door, if you insurge you're likely dead.

I'm not American, but I feel like I would rather go out in a blaze of glory, as it were, than be sent off to the
queer prisonbiblical re-education camps that don't seem to be very far away. -
This is dementia ramblings.
They could have asked him about cheese and I bet he would've talked about doing a tremendous job at making cheese grate again.
making cheese grate again
I'd bet bigly yuge that Trump is incapable of that gouda pun.

While I have my own comments to the contrary elsewhere, I'm also in agreement that everyone should arm, which is also contrary to me 8 months ago. The military aren't cyborgs and hopefully wouldn't kill their own people, other countries would step up if our country truly tried to kill us, and if we dropped a nuke on ourselves, everyone's dead across the planet anyway.
The numbers don't look good, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to live and be free, if we can't escape. Even escape isn't an end, per se, if the evil spreads, it will eventually be everywhere, and no nation will be safe. Might as well destroy the cancer before we need chemo.

He's going to attempt to do it unless somebody fucking stops it.
