These images could be false leads just as much as Luigi could be a false arrest. People assume these pictures are “the guy” just because they were presented first.

Perhaps some genuine criticism could be levied at the specifics of their immigration policy, but this is JD Vance, that’s not what he’s here for.

When he talks about “shared values” and “what you are fighting for” he’s talking about white Christian dominance in Europe and defending it with the sword. The far right has long seen Europe as a failure of progressive decadence and moral weakness and this speech was a blatant expression of that.

That is why the far right rejects European countries and cozies up to Russia, because the American conservative and the Russian nationalist have quite a lot of “shared values.”

Feels like the New Axis is starting to take tangible shape.

I gotta say, NCD doesn’t feel the same without some degen reposting ratbat “art” every now and then.

That’s an entire toothpaste factory they would have to unsqueeze. It would be less Emperor Palpatine dissolving the senate and more Yugoslavia circa 1992.

If the regime’s intent is to make a vast array of deadly weapons even more easily accessible…my idle advice would be to take advantage of that situation while you still can.

This trash is another example of “real estate developer Trump” coming through.

He honestly believes that he just needs to order “the help” to landscape everything prim and proper to fix wildfires. The fact that “landscaping” millions of acres of wildland is INCOMPREHENSIBLY IDIOTIC simply does not occur to him, and he can never be wrong so he’s sticking with it.

The founders didn’t even want to give the country a standing army. What precedent is there, contemporary or modern, where the judicial has its own direct enforcement arm?

In theory, police fill this role…it’s kind of in the name “law enforcement.” But in practice they are something else, they can be captured and corrupted like anyone else.

In theory, the military swears an oath to defend the Constitution. The Secretary of the Navy could decide, for instance, to order a military coup, storm the White House with Marines, and arrest Trump, Musk, et al. But this is extremely risky, both in tactical terms and in public image. At the end of the day, The People elected Trump, and they would be dishonoring that essential choice. Unless Trump does something like send B-52s to carpet bomb Los Angeles, the military will be determined to stay apolitical.

You’re all looking for some play-by-play guidebook or ruleset in breaking the rules. You will not find one, it is an oxymoron. The founders risked arrest and death by hanging by setting this country in motion, they were not following the rules either. I obviously won’t extol their moral character in whole, but they knew that the divine right of kings was wrong and that representative government was the future, and they acted upon these beliefs.

I think people from all stripes, especially those from more conservative cultures, are simply attracted to the performative hyper-masculinity Trump and his rhetoric put off. “Get shit done, beat your enemies senseless, feel no remorse for being great” resonates.

Imagine letting your teen daughter near said rapist because he’s your cult leader.

You don’t know what I am or am not doing.

His appointment has not been approved by the Senate yet, so he’s not supposed to be…directing.

This has been a problem with other Project 2025 appointments too.

I can only interpret this message as accelerationist self-hatred. “No you don’t get it, we need to burn the country to the ground and have millions die to make our anticapitalist woo woo utopia!”

I guess it makes sense if you’re a Russian asset.

This saga has been a ride so far. There is no way this guy is mentally stable at this point, he is going to do anything and spend every dime he has until he’s either found it or he brushes his teeth with a .38.

I’ve always thought you can make a lot of sense of Trump and his actions if you remember he’s a degenerate real estate developer and looks at many issues through that lens. The cost of building materials (steel). Wind turbines fucking up “the view.” His weird spat with low-flow toilets. His stupid wall.

“I LOOOVE MINORS!” - some bald guy

They are both tangibly afraid of “direct action” against their agents and leadership, and they are creating a dossier of dissidents to target later, for when they seize the power they need to do so. Take this seriously.
