Herr Oligarch wants to see how much he can push and manipulate and challenge the system. He’s created a crisis and now gets to play big bad ogre, calling in the troops to stand against Americans. He wants to order martial law so he feels awesome and powerful. Anything to feel like he’s omnipotent .

‘Time to take America back’: Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry’s launches campaign for lower military spending
The 80th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has reignited the debate around nuclear weaponization and the cost of war. Ben and Jerry’s Co-founder, Ben Cohen has launched the “Up in Arms” campaign to bring attention to military spending and the dangers of nuclear proliferation. He argues that cutting social safety net programs in lieu of military funding “is economic violence.” The U.S. outspends most countries in military defense, “the U.S. leads and drives the arms race and those other countries are trying to catch up to us,” says Cohen. "That's not deterrence - that's delusion.”

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C.
The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

It’s clear by the white Jesus floating ethereally in the clouds, looking down at a pristine world, that they are crackers. In their world, men rule over the house, women are incubators and children are bred to spread the word; it’s patriarchal b.s. meant to shackle the non-elect and quash free will.

History shows why FEMA is essential in disasters, and how losing independent agency status hurt its ability to function
States used to be on their own when a disaster hit. Then the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 and the Dust Bowl showed why federal coordination was essential.
