Seems like she’s hoping for the MAGA coup to be at least nearing completion by then. Why spend resources on campaigning when you expect your opponents to be declared enemies of the state and arrested by the time “elections” come around?

well trained

They are well trained in thuggery and how to evade legal consequences. 80% of cops wouldn’t know discipline or acting through adversity if it knocked their teeth out, and the 20% that do learned it in the military.

Sure, they want more racists, especially armed racists, to close ranks with for when the coup goes from administrative to paramilitary. That’s why I have the feeling that these people coming in are a special breed of violent ideation.

But will their shared hatred of nonwhites and progressive globalism be enough to form bonds with Americans? They’re still foreigners moving to a foreign land at the end of the day.

My gut instinct is telling me these are the kinds of people from the era of Soldier of Fortune and shooting at UN peacekeepers for a paycheck. “Rugged individualist” ranchers who’ve been willing to beat “the coloreds” back with automatic rifle fire for years.

But that is likely a take based on my ignorance of the area.

One thing’s almost for certain, MAGA isn’t doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. They will expect payment for services rendered. I’d keep an eye on the professional background of these people to get an idea of what form that payment will take.

I think if you can’t find someone with the fortitude to put a hole in the victim’s brain stem at muzzle contact range (let’s ask the people who pushed for this punishment, for example), and you have to go through all this procedure to alleviate “guilty consciences”, maybe the whole idea isn’t so great?

Recently some states have brought it back specifically. No points for guessing which way those states lean politically.

He was whining that Europe was starting to push back on far-right disinfo operations like Twitter and Facebook…that the US/MAGA party is paying for.

Like always, they want protection and sympathy for themselves, and vengeance upon everyone else.

I’m pretty sure competent militaries store their munitions in networks of dozens if not hundreds of earthen bunkers per site, specifically so shit like this can’t happen.

264 kilotons is a fuckload of bombs.
