Y'all realize we'd actually be in a much more sensible position, with more common-sense, decent, and benevolent leadership....if we'd simply turned over the leadership of the country to the ExxonMobil BOD on January 20th, right?
That's absolutely what it is. The president's personal Stasi, acting on orders of the regime to protect the Stasi and the regime. Every villainous regime we saw in every 80s movie? That's who we're governed by now. And 40% of us masturbate furiously to it.
Man, what times. Growing up in the 80s, if you'd have screened a movie with these scenes, and said "this film depicts what the streets of America will look like in 2026," we'd have all thought it was a Red Dawn sequel where the Soviets fucking won. Pure imagery of a totalitarian, repressive state, existing only to subjugate the people. And when the next scene was shown, where the regular Americans stood up and resisted, and kicked the shit out of the storm troopers in our streets, we would have reacted exactly as the crowd did when I saw Red Dawn in the theatre, and Lea Thompson shot the first Soviet soldier -- jumped up and cheered. Today? 40% of us are cheering for the Soviet storm troopers.
Fail? Only if you completely misconstrue the purpose of the experiment. The purpose of the experiment is to create a massive paramilitary force for the express purpose of subjugating and terrorizing the public and being answerable to no one but the regime. And by that count....it could not be more successful.
Level of concern of all those people who spent the entirety of Obama's and Biden's terms screaming about the greatest danger in the world being a "tyrannical government," and how we must, must, MUST have the 2nd Amendment to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government?
Short form: The Constitution says that all treaties are "the Supreme law of the land," on par with the Constitution itself. NATO is a congressionally ratified treaty, and is thus the Supreme law of the land. Per that law (Article 5) an attack on any member is "an attack on all" (necessarily including the United States), and per that law (Article 8) each member nation is obligated not to enter into an international engagement in conflict with the treaty. An attack by anyone on Danish soil is, as a matter of law (a valid treaty) an attack on the United States. For an American to do so would be textbook treason, per the constitution, which defines treason as levying war against the US. If Donald Trump does this, he should hang. Any service member who does so should hang. That's just the law. It should be enforced.
If he does so, he is as a matter of law levying war against he United States, which is the Constitutional definition of treason. We will be, in no uncertain terms, in a state of civil war. And any service member who follows any such order will be both committing treason and following an illegal order.
A reminder -- as a matter of law, if Donald Trump levies war in any way against Greenland, he is committing open and admitted treason per the United States Constitution. And any service member following any such order will be doing the same, meaning that all such orders are per se illegal orders. At that time, the American people have an obligation to take all possible action against anyone committing treason by levying war against the United States. We will, in no uncertain terms, be in a state of civil war, with a traitor being physically present in the White House. Someone really needs to remind him - and every service member -- that the permissible punishment for treason includes the death penalty.
Well, what you have to understand is.....he's one of the stupidest human beings to ever walk this planet. And I'm including all hominids when I say "human beings." Lucy herself would slap her ample forehead in a "geez....this fucking guy" response if she'd ever had to listen to him.
