Right? And when you mention that you personally have never received a check from Soros, that usually goes a few different ways, my favorite is the one Anti-Masons use against Masons:

Well, you must not be high enough level, yet.

See, they’re so obsessed with hierarchy that they think there’s levels to everything.

So they might keep some of the impoverished around to make sure that they can keep the genetic pool diverse.

And as a source of replacement organs, tissues, and fluids when they reach advanced age. After all, they’re stripping everything else for parts, who to say they’ll stop just before putting poors under the knife to strip us for parts?

Part of the reason Texas hasn’t seceded is because they know they couldn’t pull it off on their own. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, and Louisiana know if any of them decided to throw their lot in with Texas, they’d all end up being Texas’s vassal states, with Texas extracting resources, wealth, and economic output at a far more brutal level than anything the US ever did. Abbot would demand hasher and harsher tributes, while giving nothing back.

I mean, there comes a point where objective reality wins out. No matter what lies faux tells them, Trump tells them, or they tell themselves, reality will smack them all in the face and they will know.

This. I’ve been learning about how to think like a dissident, and in this movement, there can be no purity testing. You’re either against Trump and his agenda, or you’re not. The purity testing can come after the clear and present danger that is Trump and his agenda has been dealt with, and not a second before. Until then, we are all in this together.

I mean, these guys are getting all their ideas from Curtis Yarvin. The oligarchs are going to build large city-states that use shitcoins for money and have omnipresent surveillance apparatus, with full control over resources and utilities. They’ll have private security as well as the entire US military on speed dial in the case of an uprising(See: Battle of Blair Mountain). Hundreds if not thousands of petty fiefdoms where a monarch-like CEO is in charge and everyone else is an employee of the company/government. The only job likely to available is running on giant hamster wheels to power a giant shitcoin mining rig.

How did we fail so hard? Where did we go wrong?

This was literally in the instructional videos that Heritage made for new Trump staffers under Project2025. To do as little as possible that complies with the Federal Records Act. This is that video.

This. Build an army, 10 million strong! Waves upon waves! Let them try to contend with that!

Exactly. As horrific as the Kent State Massacre was, it changed people’s perceptions of the anti-war protestors. Suddenly these weren’t just a bunch of whiny kids who didn’t want to get drafted, these were people who didn’t want to die senseless deaths. Imagine if the Kent State Massacre never happened and the protest carried on without incident. Nothing would have changed.

Like, I think someone in the DNC should be out there, putting out answers. What did they do with the money they got? Where did it go? Time for an audit.

Not just the military. I draw your attention to this, emphasis mine

(a) In General. Process—other than a summons under Rule 4 or a subpoena under Rule 45 —must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.

Section (b) says:

Enforcing Orders: Committing for Civil Contempt. An order committing a person for civil contempt of a decree or injunction issued to enforce federal law may be served and enforced in any district. Any other order in a civil-contempt proceeding may be served only in the state where the issuing court is located or elsewhere in the United States within 100 miles from where the order was issued.

The line:

a person specially appointed for that purpose.

is interesting because it does not specify who is qualified to be appointed. Now, I am concerned that this language means that Judge Boasberg may only appoint one person, but if he seems it necessary, he could probably get away with appointing more.

Judge Boasberg does have one other card he can play, according to FRCJ Rule 4.1(b). If the US Marshal service is unable or unwilling to carry out a federal court order, the Judge who issued the order can deputize individuals to carry it out.

Exactly. You can’t gaslight away a rumbling belly.

He’s already done one in Iowa, with many more yet to come.

Walz has offered to do town halls in red states where Republicans have stopped doing them.

If I were Green I’d have swung it upside the head of the Sergeant-at-arms. Wouldn’t be the first time a cane was swung in the Capitol.

Either Al Green or Anthony Weiner. I watched an old speech of him defending a bill to fund medical care for the first responders of 9/11, and he spoke with such fire and passion. He put House Republicans on blast for sitting on their hands and hiding behind procedure before voting “no”. While we don’t need people with his character flaws (he sent unsolicited dick pics to someone who may or may not have been a minor, I’ve read conflicting reports), we definitely need people with that kind of fire.

Bro, DSA leaders have flat out said that that is too much fucking work. They could have a seat at the table, but that comes with the expectation that they will sit down, and in good faith, do some fucking work. But they don’t want a seat at the table. They want to be handed the table, all the chairs, and the keys to the building table is sitting in, and then thanked for saving the world without having to lift a goddamn finger. Obama spoke very openly about his time in office, and said that in his first year he was full of fire and optimism, and was all gung-ho about getting Americans universal healthcare or at least get us on the path to it, and very quickly learned how to be pragmatic. He never gave up his ideals, never changed his values, but in his first year he learned that he couldn’t just magically sign a paper and boom, everyone’s on Medicare. He had to do stuff that most DSA people find boring or tedious, like sitting down with Senators and Representatives and working on a plan together to get something started.

This. They just do the work, and then if they feel like it they do a video or whatever claiming responsibility and whatever afterward. That’s how Al-Qaeda did it on 9/11/2001. They just hijacked the planes and hit the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, then Osama bin-Laden released a statement afterwards. He didn’t announce the attack beforehand. That day would have gone much differently if he had. But this isn’t like some comic book or Saturday morning cartoon where the villains go on some monologue about their fiendish plot before they do it.
