This is the way to do headlines; too bad it's not ALL media outlets doing the same.

I've developed a game plan for when this hits my city

I will not comply with any check points
I will force them to arrest me
I will demand a jury trial
I will be co-council with my attorney, he runs the case
I will make my own closing remarks

Which will be

"I refused to comply with a military-armed checkpoint. That is true.

But my question to you is this — why was that checkpoint there in the first place? Are we at war? No. Has there been a terrorist attack that warrants such a measure? No.

So the question before you isn’t simply why I refused to comply… it’s why the military was conducting random checkpoints in the streets of our community at all.

I thought this was the United States of America — not Iraq, not Afghanistan. Our streets are not battlefields, and our neighbors are not enemy combatants.

You, the jury, have a choice. You can accept this new reality — one where the military can set up checkpoints in our neighborhoods — and find me guilty.

Or you can take a stand and say this is not the America we are meant to be, and find me not guilty.

Those are the lines I wish to be judged by, because that was my intention from the very start."

I dont think fair trials are going to be a thing at that point
There is the possibility that you could be whisked away and then all your options are moot. What a weird piece of history we are all involved in right now.
- Honestly
  If that happens, I'll give em hell at every inch.
demand a jury trial
Yeah Jury trials aren't common in dictatorships
- it'll be 12 angry magas
  "we find the defendant guilty. of every crime ever committed"
- We still got a legal system

Release the Trump/Epstein files

He's not lying ... crime IS on the rise in DC...

His crime, his cronies crimes, his family's crimes, all rising sharply...

From crypto scams with rugpulling, to grifting people into buying Trump labeled goods, to insider trading and willfull stockmarket manipulation, from breaking the rule of law to punishing political opponents, to taking bribes and giving bribes so not to be accused, from lying about proven data to forcibly adjusting them to his will. And the crime list is growing almost daily...

Each accusation is an admission of guilt.

So where are all those second amendment loving NRA patriots that believe that they need military grade firearms to protect their freedom from the tyranny of the government?

Because if you're waiting for the opportune moment, this is it.

Submitting job applications to ICE.
All these years we've been told that the reason it's necessary to let innocent children die in mass shootings is just in case the need to overthrow a tyrannical government arises. Guess they died for nothing
- The right never fucking meant it. They wanted the stockpiles as a way of virtue signaling to each other and a way of signaling to out-groups (POC, liberals, uppity women, LGBTQ+) the not-so-veiled threat of that stockpile.
  Also, they wanted that stockpile so that when some shitty fascist government - like this one - gives them the go-ahead to join up with death squads, that's they already have the arsenal for it.
  All that freedom and liberty mumbo-jumbo - just so much bullshit.
- You know what fully ended school shootings? The pandemic lockdown. We know what causes school shootings; schools are an underfunded nightmare pressure cooker half a step away from the prison system. We know how to fix it, change the system. Since we rushed back to the system that causes the shootings as quickly as we could, I guess you could absolutely say they died for nothing and will continue to die for nothing, probably until there are no more humans left to die for nothing.
The second amendment loving NRA patriots are furiously masturbating to the fascist takeover of the federal government. Do not for one second believe that they believe in the second amendment to overthrow a Republican president. They absolutely would if a Democrat was president.
The biggest issue gun-owning liberals have is that they lack organization whereas the conservatives have it in spades. We desperately need progressives to begin banding together and laying out a plan on what happens when Trump's troops march toward Maryland, a liberal state.
We are quickly reaching the point where we need people who are not only willing to fight for our country, but are willing to die for it as well. I suspect many of us here are willing to do the former, but not many of us are willing to do the latter.
- I'm ready for the next life death doesn't scare me, I just can't start it or anything else other than comments, made promises
and here we are,
you’re validating the fears of the very people you dismissed, in the most backward ‘you might have been right about this’ I’ve ever seen, after decades of making gun ownership a partisan issue.
and then you ask me why haven’t i sacrificed my life to go on a murder spree… to kill your enemies… this is exactly what you are asking.
i don’t see where to join the Northwest Secessionist Forces, or any real opposition group to tyranny right now. what? is schumer going to send another nastygram?
i highly recommend that if you are or know a disabled person, someone on the LBGTQ+ spectrum, or a minority, to get armed and get proficient in its use.
- and then you ask me why haven’t i sacrificed my life to go on a murder spree… to kill your enemies… this is exactly what you are asking.
  No, it would be the people that you claim to be your enemies, but when push comes to shove, you're just full of shit.
You keep disarming yourself. The right has all the firearms. Who is driving the fascist? Is it the left? No... it's the right wing....stop trying to disarm yourself, you make no fucking sense.
- There are lots and lots of lefties with guns who know how to use them. Many of them live in the Pacific Northwest, though certainly not all of them.
- And there it is.
  Half agree with you, the other half still believe in a sane world where laws matter and mean something.
  Man.
  I’ll never own weapons myself. I have one pistol that probably can’t even fire a shot. It’s old, it’s cheap, it’s half broken.
  Even if it could, I don’t believe in violence, and even if I did I’m not built for it.
  Still, I have studied some history. I know that it is necessary at times. It won’t ever be me though. I couldn’t ever harm another human being.
  If that means I lose, fuck it. Life is short anyway.
They are on their knees serving a elitist pedophile

The timing of this is interesting, right before he goes to a meeting in Alaska with Putin. Trump's going to make some type of announcement after his meeting, something he knows will cause protests, and he's locking down the capital beforehand to stop any protests from happening there.

Is it going to be an announcement about the Ukraine invasion by Russia? Probably. But, based on Trump's history, he may have made a deal to sell Alaska to Russia as the ultimate real estate deal. Wouldn't put it past him.

He has a wet dream of using the military against protesters, after he was stopped last time. Someone told him he needed the NG installed ahead of time to make it work.
I sincerely hope you are wrong but it definitely feels that way.
Indeed and the fucking Muscovites can keep the MAGAts and conscript, by force if necessary, into the Russian infantry. The USA invades Greenland.
food riots inbound
Uh huh.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-city-removes-homeless-beautification-bidens-summit-chinese-president-xi
You mean like how Russia sold Alaska to the US in the first place? Or how the US annexed Hawaii and overthrew their king?
You want to talk about real estate deals?
Blackrock buying real estate in Ukraine? Oh not directly. But what do you think it means? Generous selfless offers of help?
Yeah yeah, Trump bad guy, but are you equally as well informed about what was happening anyways?
- What was happening then, has no bearing on what's happening now. Russia sold Alaska to America back before modern extraction techniques made it a very valuable piece of land. I'm sure they would love to have it back now, and Trump would love to bolster his place in history for making large deals by selling it back to Russia.
  You're using historical facts that have no bearing on the situation to try and argue that Trump wouldn't do that, when he would do it in a fucking heartbeat if he thinks he can get away with it.
- Lol what? How is any of what you said relevant?

EPSTEIN FILES.!..

Release the Epstein files.

What's next? Fucking martial law?

Yes

:smacks NYT: That's how you write a headline about this

- I mean they're not body slamming him as much, but there's
  https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/us/politics/trump-washington-dc-police.html

This reminds me of the Chinese expression "the nail that sticks up gets hammered down."

Depicted here is Trump explaining how South Park got the dimensions wrong.

“The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,” Trump wrote.

So nice of him to find a place for them to stay. I can’t wait to hear where that place is.

Mandatory showers upon arrival, I'm sure.

Big Balls borrowed Jussie Smollett's 'eau de toilette'.

How is bigballs involved? I've seen memes but skimming the article I didn't see it mentioned.
- He was supposedly mugged by a group of people in DC the other night

Death cannot come soon enough for this POS and all who blindly follow him.

This is a lot like crossing the rubicon.

the thing i keep seeing as a wrinkle is, he’s using the national guard, who are by-and-by-large the weekend contract kind who maintain jobs and have families in far-flings of the state.
by deploying them and keeping them deployed, the longer they stay like that, the more guardsmen will lose the jobs they had waiting for them. i know there are protections and such, but, we’re in a capitalist-fascist hellscape now, money is gonna do the talking from now on, and a deployed soldier don’t make money. i also do not see this occupation ending any time soon, nor do i see any protestors being dumb enough to try and test the might of the world’s only global military hedgemon… so, i think they’re just gonna be sitting around playing fucking candy crush.
like, is there a ceiling with guardsmen on how much bullshit they’ll tolerate before they start deserting? i am genuinely asking, if anyone is in the service and knows better.
- Apparently the ones deployed to LA did absolutely fuck all. Same with his bullshit birthday parade, I think he assumes the military is %100 behind him, what it's looking like is they're tolerating his bullshit and doing so half assed and bare minimum.
- If guardsmen are have even an ounce of the pettiness that Vietnam vets have I can garunfuckingtee you that they will drag their feet till they forge a new canal. So while they may technically tolerate a tonne of bullshit they will probably be more of a pain in the ass than anything else, soldiery have been the backbone of malicious compliance for millenia. So while they may not desert they will certainly make whoever is above them wish they would, or at least the person actually trying to be an authoritarian asswipe so it's entirely possible it's just hegseth having to deal with under caffeinated guardsmen who are harassing him about hyper specific bullshit every five seconds because they will make sure every form is filed and followed to the letter.
The Alt-Right Playbook: The South Bank of the Rubicon
It's Rubicons as far as the eye can see...
We keep zig-zagging across it.
- That's prob bcs a sex die is used instead of a regular one.
Literally and figuratively, its just the Delaware this time
We crossed the Rubicon YEARS ago. It’s just that we’re only now realizing it.

Why do they not arrest the biggest criminal in the Whitehouse? It would significantly lower the crime rate in DC

I feel like there's a really high chance of aquittal if someone were to "retake the law" from this bastard.
What they? Which "they" can do this?

Are we going to do what South Korea did and hit the streets? Or are we going to do what we always do and complain about the Epstein files?

You can do both. One directly supports the other.

he's got evidence though, undisputable evidence:POTUS47 were allowed in and not arrested... convicted felons of various calibers are literally roaming streets of DC

He is CORRECTLY showing us the size of his peepee!

Blue balls was probably buying coke or hookers at night and got beat up and robbed. Now we have martial law.

Well I'm sure the courts will rule it illegal since it is a blatant lie. /s

Taco Chomo.

From now on, whenever I see somebody doing the TACO thing, I'm going to assume they are accelerationists trying to get Trump to do something horrific. I don't know why else you would do it. Surely nobody has deluded themselves into thinking they can just bully the guy out of office and then everything goes back to normal, right? Right?
- It refers to tariffs, specifically.
  You don’t see the benefit of calling Trump a chicken? That the bully is, in fact, weak? I do.
- So tiptoe around the bully and change your behavior in the hopes he decides to leave you alone?
  Screw him, and screw his feelings. We have the right to free speech, it's not "free speech as long as we don't upset a jerk." If he goes off the rails and pulls a Nero over it, that's on HIM. I'm not gonna tiptoe around him with this "he who must not be named" crap in the hopes that he can be appeased by keeping quiet, and I'm ESPECIALLY not going to do it for MY servant, which is what he, as the president, is.

so is he gonna crack down all the crime being run out of 1600 penn ave nw?

Weird why is he talking about the size of his Penis from South Park. Anyway where’s that pedo list Donnie

Yet another thing Murikkkans won’t do anything about.

🤡

Genuinely honest reaction from an American- we have reached peak pointlessness.
The American public (in general, on average) is so stupid and ill-informed, staring only at their preferred echo chamber that the majority would rather mobilize against different opinions than have a conversation.
We could self immolate in the streets and it would make absolutely no difference. Opposition would celebrate it. Any method to resist or make change has been well and truly vaporized. Publicly stating our opinion or even stating objective fact is now pointless, as it will be instantly gaslit.
Not a single protest or demostration I've attended has made ANY difference at all.
Even right this second, I can hear the sound of Fox News in the office beside mine.
Even in my small suburban town lifted trucks STILL fly a Trump flag and scream and shout out the window at bumper stickers they don't like.
I can't say that's the perspective other Americans have, but I can tell you that's my perspective. The proverbial "ship is sinking", the hull has cracked wide open, and all I can do is plan what cardinal direction to "swim" in assuming I survive the capsize, which I almost certainly will not.
- The world outside Murikkka is, like, expecting there will be some sort of a reckoning….but the Murikkkan populace is already too abject. Murikkkans would rather live in total shit if it “owns the libs” or hurts someone else worse then it hurts them. One thing is for sure though, people will die - be it through lack of healthcare or some other way. The billionaire class has decided it no longer needs cheap labour. That should be cause for concern.

Get the military deployed into the capital is just the first step for a coup. He needs someone to take Democrats and critics in custody.

And prevent anyone from stopping them by force. Guess the second amendment just became moot.
- Always has been.

So Trump had big balls beaten and then uses it as justification to deploy the troops…
