If any progressive has an opinion on the Catholic Church, it’s most likely that is that it should be wholly disbanded, its assets donated to the needy, its relics donated to museums, and its clergy investigated and arrested for crimes against children.
Not much love between the two groups, so imagining some sort of alignment of goals at any point just feels like a waste.
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.
That’s the Governor Mario Cuomo Bridge to you, bucko.
The anglophone countries should be obvious. I wonder what Germany has going on?
Article soft paywalled.
He’s very particular about his appearance (and quick to denigrate the appearance of others). He probably spends a good deal of money. He just doesn’t get good results for that money because he’s never had the personal discipline to actually be healthy, and ya know, he’s fucking 81. There’s only so much a suit and bronzer can do.
He hates and cannot comprehend the idea of military service. He thinks it is far beneath him. I don’t think he would want to be caught dead in a uniform.
He’ll wear his same tailored suits that try their damnedest to straighten out his grotesque figure. He may wear some nonsense bauble on his lapel to signify that he’s in charge but that’s about it.
It’s still the most overvalued stock on the US ticker and it’s not even close.
Even in the most charitable reading of the future, Tesla chooses a responsible leader, successfully course-corrects, and becomes “just a car company.” The techbro futurist hype goes away, and the value tanks back to reality.
Likely worse armor than MBTs, a worse gun than MBTs. It was designed for combined arms, which we aren’t seeing a lot of anymore. Probably quite vulnerable to FPVs. I don’t think they’d want them.
“Activist/volunteer” makes it sound like he’s distributing medicine or rescuing pets.
He’s building drones to be used as weapons for the Ukrainian military.
To be honest he is a legitimate military target just like a munitions factory on either side. This is actually an improvement over the usual Russian barbarism.
I am glad he is okay and can keep helping the cause but the framing seems almost disingenuous.
They expect you to die of starvation, disease, and infighting. If you choose to lunge at them, they hope to have a network of automated weapons to drop the god particle on your peasant ass.
Once they no longer need your labor, you are an externality to them. A cost to be cut.
From a collective perspective, you can’t be of much help if you’re in ICE detention.
Labeling your vehicles or wearing uniforms seems ill-advised, since the regime is chomping at the bit to imprison people who aid and abet immigrants. Do your work as incognito as possible.
He doesn’t attend daily briefings, why would he care about the operational capabilities of his kingly litter?
