    soooooo is this the US version of a Russian window? They all piss off Trump?

    IF I were someone in that position the LAST place I’d want to be is on a military base full of government employees whose families are hungry.

    Stephen Miller’s time is limited, and he knows it. His paranoia is very much justified. His neighbors in Arlington, VA have bullied him into moving away which is great, but this is also a first step so they can be safe when they launch open war on the protestors and start killing Democrats.

    Let’s hope there are some military members that feel similarly and can take their oath to the Constitution seriously (foreign and domestic).

        Yeah that was most of it, but there were also lots of small protests outside of his house, comments at them, and in rare cases people went to the door and made “threats” (what they call it because they’re pussies)

      While it’s a nice to stay hopeful, you know in those circumstances they do extensive background checks for anyone who could be in that kind of position and then those folks who are selected are also made to understand that their families are tied to the deal.

      The rest of the military bases have pretty tight controls on arms, because unlike civilian America, the military understands that having guns around all the time leads to bad things.

    Yes move on to the base, full of people you’re not paying right now and whose families are about to start going hungry. Great idea.

    Honestly, what are the odds there isn’t a sinister motive behind them all getting the idea to move on to a fucking military base. Especially with the bullshit excuse that it’s because their safety is being threatened.

    I keep thinking about how other dictators handle dissent when they start to worry about maintaining their hold on power, and I keep thinking about how I know there should be no expectation of Trump not stooping to a similar level of evil.

      Yes, this is a preparation for what they’re planning to do when they launch the full military onto blue cities that are starving.

      False flag imminent, I’d say within the next 45 days. It’ll take a few weeks to let the unrest really build, and they need to give their propaganda outlets (Fox, Newsmax, OAN) time to rile up their base that “terrorists” are coming.

        I have this sinking feeling November 17 is significant.

        I don’t know if it’s because an update to the insanely invasive PeePal account privacy policy that I actually read goes into effect that day, or because it’s just shy of two weeks after election day, a day by which most states have (or should have) certified their results, or what.

        Maybe it’s because it’ll have been just enough time since things “snapped” for those who can’t take the exhaustion and emptiness another week, the ones who know they can no longer absorb their child’s hunger, to realize they are being forced to make heretofore unfathomable decisions to function, let alone remain alive, mere days before they see and hear and maybe even smell their feckless neighbors gorging themselves in malicious ignorance, and jesus christ my-god-where-are-you they want us to be thankful for this shit???

        But there they’d have em, their scapegoats for yet another heavily manufactured Penultimate Crisis.


        I’m high and I hate everything.

        Okay I love some things but I hate everything about this.

    The reason for this is because Trump is about to declare martial law, and everyone needs to be in place.

    How are people—including a lot of you all—so blind to this? Tiananmen Square is going to look like the Macy’s Day parade compared to what the Republicans intend to do to the United States. And anyone driving these tanks would love to roll over some “libtard” flesh.

      I can’t see anyone in military service justifying driving a tank while their families go hungry.

      I don’t think this is a “keep these people safe” action, I think this is a “here are you scapegoats” action. This is solidifying power. I feel like SOMEONE wants these people out of the picture.

        I’m pretty sure most of the people in the United States military will do exactly as they are told.

    Living amongst the people you’re partially paying with donated funds because you weren’t willing to give Americans a break on their health care costs? Ballsy.

      The only people they encounter are under orders not to tell them off, which is what matters to them

    I would not oppose a targeted nuke from north Korea, or whomever, in the general vicinity.
