Yes, but you the government have to kill someone on US soil to violate Posse Comitatus, it's any use of military domestically.

The President has by executive order (aka imperial fiat) overridden the Posse Comitatus Act.

I know right? Marxist, deep staters, anarchists, religious nutjobs, atheists, evangelicals, tv reality show hosts, casino owners, country club managers, it's all the same!

JB, I'm so sorry, you're right, this was totally normal.

Yes, exactly, religious fundamentalism is always equated with godless leftist secularists. Same thing.

Yes hence the quotes where I said what she said in parentheses after - note, no quotes - where I suggested she equated them with enemies of the state. I have no idea what polite description you'd like to use, but go right ahead. I suppose she was just being helpful and the word "hostile" was merely a hanging participle.

She may well be. Or an islamist. We don't know yet.

Caroline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, speaks for the White House.

The driver. I'm just going to guess this person has some sort of past DWI or psychiatric issue or violent past and if they took away drivers' licenses for any of that I'd be fine with it.

Last I recall I believe it was the WH calling amazon enemies of the state (ahem "a hostile and political act"). And then someone said further up said that Amazon would be Bud Lighted (Bud Lit?). I said it was amusing.

The part where maga starts not buying discount home delivered goods from China & other places OUS should be amusing, I agree.

Yes.

Sure, one is the change in attitude I just described, & you can throw in the grievance messaging where Trump is the King of all victims but so are his followers. But also, look at today, the WH Press Secretary lashing out & claiming a retail company shouldn’t reflect a tax as a tax on receipts because they’re enemy roaders. Or the President claiming the national economy is a ‘department store’ where he sets the price, which is pure central planning. And the idea that immigration, while there are obvious racist overtones, steals jobs from Americans is an old far left (socialist) canard from the 1950s-80s (& earlier) which Trump has co-opted. Or ‘we have to suffer for the future of the nation’ & it’s our patriotic duty to do so. On & on.

I’ve been trying to point out Trump is many ways in fact ‘leftist’. That is indeed much of his motivating message.

I agree with you in the sense I don’t want my country hurt. I hope we succeed in this (somehow). Problem is we already tried it in the 1930s & 1890s, & this country was partly founded on revolting against a king who dumped tariffs (taxes) on us without legislative consent. How many times do you have to hit yourself in the head with a hammer in the Hope this time it will make your headache go away?
