Armed terrorism by the White House escalates – What stage of fascism is it when the fuhrer defies the courts to send in troops anyway? – as does the batshit rhetoric about left-wing “terrorism” to hide their own, the fever dream agitprop to buttress the fantasy, and the deranged push for retribution against dissent, by anyone. “Trump has pardons and tanks – what do you have?” asks one troubled patriot. We the people, righteous judges, Portland’s frog, Pritzker’s rage, D.C. wiseguys’ revived pedo besties – and the facts.<\/p>\n

Two months ago, the United States made the Human Rights Watch list for the first time in 249 years; rights advocates cited<\/a> a nation “sliding deeper into the quicksands of authoritarianism” with peaceful protests met with military force, critics treated as criminals, journalists targeted, and support slashed for civil society. Despite a core principle that America’s military not be turned against fellow citizens, they noted, we’ve seen an invasion of ill-trained, hyped-up ICE thugs – and now presumably more professional National Guard – representing an ominous “line that democratically elected leaders aren\u2019t meant to cross.\u201d Add to that a vengeful, demented manchild raving <\/a>about “the enemy within” making bad, lethal decisions based on fake tee vee news – “Portland is burning to the ground…All you have to do (is) turn on your television” – and it’s clear, says Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, “The only threat we face is to our democracy – and it is being led by President Trump.”<\/p>\n

That threat got worse Monday as Trump, who’s long been keen to sic the troops on us all, suggested he’s open to invoking <\/a>the Insurrection Act “to put down future civil unrest,” aka continue inventing fake crises to “bulldoze what’s left of constitutional restraints” in an “unhinged despotism” free of pesky democratic guardrails. For now, he and his rabid flunkies – cue Press Barbie vowing he’ll “end the radical left reign of terror in Portland once and for all” – settled for embarking on a witless weekend “game of whack-a-mole,\u201d frantically conspiring to send National Guard troops from whatever state they could get away with it to whatever city they decided “needs a little terrorizing,” a brazen end-run around the ruling by Trump-appointed <\/em>Oregon Judge Karin Immergut, who he whined “lost her way” by blocking the deployment of Oregon troops to Portland after arguing his characterization of “a burning hellhole,” which he’s never visited, was “simply untethered to the facts.”<\/p>\n

So okay, they figured, we’ll send 300 troops from California, <\/em>a cool two-fer against mouthy Newsom, who swiftly called the move “a breathtaking abuse of the law and power,” and sued. Immergut <\/em>was not amused: “How could bringing in federalized National Guard from California not be in direct contravention to the temporary restraining order I issued yesterday?\u201d she asked<\/a>, politely noting the move “appears (intended) to circumvent” her ruling. After learning the regime was already looking to send 400 Guard members from Texas <\/em>(Albania was their next choice), she called bullshit, cited Oregon police reports that protests were small and subdued – “8 to 15 people, mostly sitting in lawn chairs and walking around” – and blocked “deployment, reassignment or relocation” from any stat<\/em>e, given “neither the facts on the ground (nor) the claimed legal base for the deployments had changed.” Damn, irksome facts again. Still, Stephen Miller called the ruling a “legal insurrection.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, really, when you look at <\/a>the Portland protests, it’s understandable. While a handful of people have peaceably gathered – and sometimes done the cha cha <\/a>cha <\/a>– on the legal side of a blue line outside the largely tranquil ICE facility since June, their forces often included<\/a> the terrorist, blow-up Portland Frog, who In one recent tussle was pepper-sprayed in their vent by infuriated ICE agents. Now, the stalwart spicy Frog is back; asked about the assault in an interview, they cheerfully dismissed it with, “I kinda coughed a bit, but that was about it…Just a little pepper – I’ve tasted spicier.” At that point, a phalanx of ICE thugs emerged together and pointlessly fired off clouds of teargas toward the handful of protesters; the Frog danced and sang, “You put your left foot in…” As the troops carefully, ridiculously backed away, the protesters yelled, “Fucking losers” and “We’re supposed to love each other.” The Frog kept dancing. He also shimmied.<\/a> Truly a burning hellhole.<\/p>\n

Having failed in their attempts to liberate Portland, the regime turned its sights on equally offensively blue Chicago, where 400 Texas National Guard members are being deployed <\/a>despite the opposition of Gov. JB Pritzker, who vowed, “Illinois will not let the Trump administration continue on their authoritarian march without resisting.” The action comes a week after hundreds of ICE agents staged <\/a>a draconian, jack-booted <\/a>raid on a South Side apartment building – Pritzker: “They are the ones making it a war zone” – rappelling from Black Hawk helicopters, tossing smoke bombs, busting down doors, zip-tying sleepy residents, including crying naked children and U.S. citizens. Later, ICE Barbie released<\/a> a histrionic, Call-of-Duty-esque video, martial music pounding, presumably to showcase <\/a>their heroism in the face of terrified children. Text on one version threatened, “To every criminal illegal alien: Darkness is no longer your ally. We will find you.” A second one read, “Chicago, we\u2019re here for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
