Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?

The Fascist Felon has been threatening to send troops to Boston. Boston is pretty safe city compared to other cities its size. Though Mayor Wu calling it the safest city is probably inaccurate. IN any case, I've lived on the outskirts of Boston all my life (except for University) and it's my city.

I've not generally been a protestor. But I'm preparing my protest signs in case Trump invades Boston.

God I hate this lying, lawless, evil, fascist piece of shit.

State of Permanent Fake Emergency

Today, the structure of law granting exceptional emergency powers is a grave threat to democracy and an avenue toward authoritarian rule.

Here is another analysis on why Trump's killing of 11 people allegedly (according to a pathological lying administration) on a drug trafficking boat was murder.

I guess we have our answer to the question whether the military will carry out an unlawful order. It appears that they will.

How long before peaceful anti-Trump protesters in blue cities will be designated as terrorists and gunned down by the military?

Opinion | Trump Tests the Limits of His Power With a New Airstrike

The Trump administration seems to be betting that Americans are so inured to the war on terrorism that they’ll be indifferent to extrajudicial executions.

You people are missing the important point that capital punishment is complety acceptable if a foreigner (or someone who could pass for a foreigner) is, in the opinion of the US Government, probably guilty of something.

I believe that it's now appropriate to call Trump and Hagseth murderers.

I don't think it is that clear cut. I do see why it may not seem like it from abroad, but the American public does have limits and they are dancing close to several of them. Intensifying on extrajudicial killings could be a disaster for them in the midterms.

Disagree. Very strongly disagree. From the outside looking in the people who screeched loudly about an "Obama tyranny" back in 2009 are the exact same motherfuckers currently cheering Trump on. And they're millions of those scum.
