There is a term for when government can break its laws. "Failed Nation’
"Should we fight back?"“No, that’s exactly what they want! Then they’ll start double fascism.”
"Withhold taxes?"“No, they control the banks. And I’ve been a big fan of central banks since Hamilton. Let’s not risk a depression.”
"So, should we just secede?"“No, then people in red states will get double fascism.”
"Then what, exactly?"“Slam them with shame until we maybe have a midterm election.”
Branding irons? Applied directly to the forehead?
Unfortunately not. The word for this is “dictatorship.” There are and have been plenty of those that aren’t failed states. Democracy is a historical anomaly, not the norm. The failed state part is coming, but we’re not there yet.
For me a failed state is when the government doesn’t follow its own laws or there is no penalty for breaking the law. Once rule of law is gone society and the nation have failed. It doesn’t matter if it’s democracy or any other form of government. If it’s not following its own rules the anarchy is in charge, not the nation’s traditions.
I know it’s kind of surreal and that may make it hard to believe.
But we’re dealing with actual traitors in control of our federal government. That’s actually happening right now.
NO ONE is Allowed to Stop these UNKNOWN ARMED MEN from Kidnapping American Children and Shooting American Mothers! FREEDOM LIBTARDS!
Typical double-speak attacking a strawman position.
Nobody is claiming that Federal officers don’t have immunity to perform their legal obligations and duties.
The complaint is that they’re doing things that are not within their legal obligations and duties like trying enforce traffic laws and shooting people in the head.
Or raiding an entire apartment building full of homes without a single warrant.
Or throwing a flashbang into a car full of children and a 6-month old infant.
Or shooting people in the face with grenade launchers leading to the loss of their eye.
Or arresting people for being brown, or for not showing papers (which is so fascist that it is a meme).
Or fabricating ‘assault on a federal officer’ charges (which will result in years in prison, everyone should remember this) by invading personal space and treating any brushing contact as if it were a thrown punch.
Federal Officers are allow to perform their duty, they are not given completely immunity by virtue of their jobs nor are they given immunity to brutalize people who hurt their feelings or throw baloney on their cars.
If protesting and obstructing ICE peacefully, within your rights and with civility, is going to have the same consequences as an attempt on their life, well… Maybe they’ll find out that they can’t play the fear card forever. Fascism usually features some carrots to keep the population tolerating it, and this administration seems sorely lacking.
The “carrot” is maybe they won’t kidnap or murder you if you lick their boots.
Remind me to never eat the carrot cake at your place…
It would be “carrot” cake.
All the more reason to decline a piece, methinks 😄
Would it be more palatable if it was “carrot” “cake” thus fully obfuscating the whole affair?
What a lame, weird little person Stephen is. He has no friends, no intelligence, and no looks. He is the epitome of failure in the human gene pool.
This post means nothing, just like all the other illegal orders they have given.
terrorism | 'terariz(a)m | noun
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims
Oxford Dictionary of English
Meanwhile their “legal obligations and duties”:
Fourth Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Fifth Amendment: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Sixth Amendment: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Fourteenth Amendment: Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Do these apply to all people in the USA or only citizens?
The word “persons” applies to everyone.
That seems to be a subject of debate but the Supreme Court has ruled in the past that the bill of rights applies to anyone in the US, not just citizens.
A subject of debate for fascists
Oh of course. The current SCOTUS has shown they are happy to be a tool for fascism, that’s the only reason they are taking cases that have been considered “settled law” for decades.
Wasn’t it Kavanaugh that swore up and down in confirmation hearings that he’d respect stare decisis and then got in and started breaking it right and left? I can’t even remember anymore.
also, that’s not how Federal vs State jurisdiction works… check the 34 convictions the Orange Felon pedophile has
Lol and it’s written by AI. Amazing. Can’t even show up for the fascist takeover, needs to phone it in.

How many are you up to?
“If they resist in any way, you can kill them, and they will be no punishment.” Except that the people are the environment in which you exist and you must navigate for the rest of your life. See
A reminder, all you have to do is throw Miller to the street if you are at the ssme military base as him.
Apparently just making a chalk message on the sidewalk in front of his house is enough.
That’s not how preemption works.
