Trump is halfway to making America a police state

[Gunny46]

Because some people are slower than others I will explain it like this. Most people at this point understand the radicals infiltrated Jan 6 protest just like they try to infiltrate and highjack the MAGA movement.

Trump pardoning everyone wasn't approval of all involved. He just wasn't going to make those taken advantage of wait years for real Justice while it was figured out. That was everyone's second chance. There won't be a third.

So if idiots are hell bent on the below happening again. The majority that voted for him will support him doing what is necessary to stop it. Alot more will join once more information that's been declassified has come out and more investigations are completed.

Ignore at your own demise. I voted for that along with 77 million of others that were paying attention.

Americans Must Watch This ! Also pay attention how Anti-American Neo-Marxist try to interrupt and hijack the thread.

Trump is halfway to making America a police state

This week’s visit to the Oval Office by Nayib Bukele offered a civics lesson to the world: America’s government pays greater respect to a foreign strongman than its own Supreme Court.

Around noon on April 14, America ceased to have a law-abiding government. Some would argue that had already happened on January 20, when Donald Trump was inaugurated.

On Monday (Tuesday AEST), however, Trump chose to ignore a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to repatriate an illegally deported man. He even claimed the judges ruled in his favour.

The US president’s middle finger to the court was echoed by his attorney-general, secretary of state, vice-president and El Salvador’s vigilante president, Nayib Bukele. The latter is playing host to what resembles an embryonic US gulag.

In terms of clarifying moments, Trump’s meeting with Bukele compares with his dressing down of Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky in late February. Zelensky was berated for being insufficiently thankful for US military aid and for failing to wear a suit. A tieless Bukele, by contrast, got royal treatment.

Trump’s team nodded when Bukele said he would not consider returning the wrongly deported Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. All baselessly agreed that Garcia was, in fact, a terrorist.

The Oval Office drama offered a civics lesson to the world: America’s government pays greater respect to a foreign strongman than its own Supreme Court.

Trump knows how to deliver gripping television. He was also making history. The official position of the world’s oldest constitutional republic is that the courts should have no say in who its executive deports and on what grounds.

‘Homegrown’ deportees​

Foreign travellers to the US should beware. They can be detained without recourse. Americans should too. Trump casually told Bukele he may need to build more supermax jails for “homegrown” deportees, which means US citizens.

If Trump deems that you are a gang member, pro-terrorist, or simply anti-national, he claims impunity over your liberty. The fact that one deportee was a hairdresser, not a gang member, and another target was an innocuous op-ed writing student, not a terrorist, is no protection.

Trump’s lawyers are barely even pretending to phone it in. Evidence can be withheld on national security grounds or seemingly invented, as it was on Monday with Garcia. A government lawyer who conceded that Garcia’s deportation was mistaken was placed on administrative leave.

Should the wrong person be deported in shackles, the US can do nothing about it. That would interfere with another country’s sovereignty, they say. This is from the same administration that is demanding other countries’ territory.

El Salvador is as sovereign as Trump chooses it to be. Bukele is Trump’s hemispheric sidekick.

That the White House will not release details about its Bukele prison contract is also informative. Grift and authoritarianism go hand in hand. America’s busiest expos nowadays are those specialising in border security, drones and paramilitary gear.


El Salvador is now a hotspot of shadowy vigilantism. In that respect, the US-El Salvador relationship is threatening to become two-way. Among those angling for deportation contracts are Erik Prince, the former chief executive of the mercenary group Blackwater.

The portents are also grim for US investors. On Monday, Morgan Stanley’s research arm warned they “should be prepared to be fooled many more times”.


Analysts were referring to Trump’s constantly shifting rationale for tariffs. But their point – “Fool me once, shame on you ... ” – also describes the US rule of law.

Trump has pardoned several fraudsters and embezzlers who have contributed money to his campaign or just spoken well of him. He has also suspended a law that requires an entity’s true owner to be named, and another that penalises US companies for foreign bribery.

Now he is unleashing the investigative dogs on critics. The latest targets include a former federal official, Chris Krebs, for having “falsely ... denied that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen”.

The media is also in his sights. On Sunday, Trump issued a torrent of threats against CBS for running interviews critical of him. He called on Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to revoke the network’s broadcast licence.

The 60 Minutes interview that angered Trump was with Zelensky. Ukraine’s leader said that “Russian narratives are prevailing in the US”. That was a fair point given Trump’s reversal of culpability for Russia’s Ukraine invasion.

But Zelensky’s observation can be applied more widely.

In Russia, dissent can cost critics their business licences, liberty and even their lives. It seems a matter of time before other less besieged western legal systems hear petitions by US citizens for asylum.

Some good information in here.

I don't respect what he had to say. Sounds like someone trying to start a Civil War. Like someone else on here. Most Americans aren't interested in that nonsense. It's also done by are foreign enemies and antifa. Maybe if you actually paid attention you would have learned that already. It was in several of the posts Bongino sent out.

Except we know him. As I’ve told you before, this isn’t Twitter or Reddit where it’s full of anonymous people/bots, a lot of us know each other. To be honest, you could easily be exactly what you claim a lot of people are. No one here on either board knows you.

They don't need to know me goofball. I'm not running for political office or trying to win a popularity contest. I don't even care if anyone likes me. I post mostly stuff from Trump’s Administration. Straight from him and those he hired to get shit done. The only people that don't want that posted are people that don't really support him or want to hijack the MAGA movement or his message. The people who really support him appreciate they can read his message without the filter of the idiots I just explained. Any opinion stuff I add usually has a source. Those following along can research and decide if they agree or not. I have also added stuff to keep people out of trouble by following morons that don't care if they get themselves in a jam.

So to summarize. There's only one kind of asshole that would have a problem with what I post. They aren't Trump supporters. He's fighting for Americans. Even those that don't like him. So if idiots decide to have another Summer of Love or worse. I support him doing what he needs to do to protect our country.

Until then I encourage people to continue to follow the information his Administration is putting out.

Wow
@TheTNStar
just broke a huge story. You know the illegal immigrant that Democrats are trying to free from an El Salvador prison?In 2022, he was stopped driving without a license and Tennessee Highway Patrol suspected him of trafficking the 7 people inside. THP then learned he was on a terrorist watch list so they called Biden’s FBI but Biden’s FBI told THP to RELEASE HIM.Kilmar Abrego Garcia was then released due to the Biden FBI order and the THP concerns about trafficking were ignored by the government.This is on top of a court + Maryland Police finding that they believe he was in MS-13 and his wife reporting that he beat her when filing for a protective order. This is who Democrats want in our country. This is who they’re fighting for. Evil!

He's going on about Trump declaring Martial Law. Which other President's have done in National Emergency Situations. It's not a police state and if he ever had to do it that doesn't mean he has to do it everywhere. Unless the Emergency was extremely catastrophic. Like all the MAM the Democrats let across the border started attacking everything including infrastructure.

If the Democrats were in power they definitely would want a Police State. Anyone sober during Covid-19 remembers how Democrats and RINOS conducted themselves.

On Monday (Tuesday AEST), however, Trump chose to ignore a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to repatriate an illegally deported man. He even claimed the judges ruled in his favour.

The US president’s middle finger to the court was echoed by his attorney-general, secretary of state, vice-president and El Salvador’s vigilante president, Nayib Bukele. The latter is playing host to what resembles an embryonic US gulag.

In terms of clarifying moments, Trump’s meeting with Bukele compares with his dressing down of Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky in late February. Zelensky was berated for being insufficiently thankful for US military aid and for failing to wear a suit. A tieless Bukele, by contrast, got royal treatment.

Trump’s team nodded when Bukele said he would not consider returning the wrongly deported Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. All baselessly agreed that Garcia was, in fact, a terrorist.

The Oval Office drama offered a civics lesson to the world: America’s government pays greater respect to a foreign strongman than its own Supreme Court.

Trump knows how to deliver gripping television. He was also making history. The official position of the world’s oldest constitutional republic is that the courts should have no say in who its executive deports and on what grounds.

‘Homegrown’ deportees​

Foreign travellers to the US should beware. They can be detained without recourse. Americans should too. Trump casually told Bukele he may need to build more supermax jails for “homegrown” deportees, which means US citizens.

If Trump deems that you are a gang member, pro-terrorist, or simply anti-national, he claims impunity over your liberty. The fact that one deportee was a hairdresser, not a gang member, and another target was an innocuous op-ed writing student, not a terrorist, is no protection.

Trump’s lawyers are barely even pretending to phone it in. Evidence can be withheld on national security grounds or seemingly invented, as it was on Monday with Garcia. A government lawyer who conceded that Garcia’s deportation was mistaken was placed on administrative leave.

Should the wrong person be deported in shackles, the US can do nothing about it. That would interfere with another country’s sovereignty, they say. This is from the same administration that is demanding other countries’ territory.

El Salvador is as sovereign as Trump chooses it to be. Bukele is Trump’s hemispheric sidekick.

That the White House will not release details about its Bukele prison contract is also informative. Grift and authoritarianism go hand in hand. America’s busiest expos nowadays are those specialising in border security, drones and paramilitary gear.


El Salvador is now a hotspot of shadowy vigilantism. In that respect, the US-El Salvador relationship is threatening to become two-way. Among those angling for deportation contracts are Erik Prince, the former chief executive of the mercenary group Blackwater.

The portents are also grim for US investors. On Monday, Morgan Stanley’s research arm warned they “should be prepared to be fooled many more times”.


Analysts were referring to Trump’s constantly shifting rationale for tariffs. But their point – “Fool me once, shame on you ... ” – also describes the US rule of law.

Trump has pardoned several fraudsters and embezzlers who have contributed money to his campaign or just spoken well of him. He has also suspended a law that requires an entity’s true owner to be named, and another that penalises US companies for foreign bribery.

Now he is unleashing the investigative dogs on critics. The latest targets include a former federal official, Chris Krebs, for having “falsely ... denied that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen”.

The media is also in his sights. On Sunday, Trump issued a torrent of threats against CBS for running interviews critical of him. He called on Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to revoke the network’s broadcast licence.

The 60 Minutes interview that angered Trump was with Zelensky. Ukraine’s leader said that “Russian narratives are prevailing in the US”. That was a fair point given Trump’s reversal of culpability for Russia’s Ukraine invasion.

But Zelensky’s observation can be applied more widely.

In Russia, dissent can cost critics their business licences, liberty and even their lives. It seems a matter of time before other less besieged western legal systems hear petitions by US citizens for asylum.

Is some of your tribe working off a plea deal? They are acting too crazy not to be. Even for Anti-American Turds.
