    Now that the Generals and Admirals see trump as a clear and present danger maybe the only way out of the trump circus and project 2025 is a military coup to save the democracy....................

    Trump himself tried that, but of course, he didn't have the military support.

    An incredible waste of resources, not to mention dangerous gathering of every US military leader placed into one single location. The reason was only to give the same ridiculous rambling talk they are known for already. Nothing close to important which once again showed their weaknesses.


    President Donald Trump on Tuesday gave a campaign-style speech to the nation’s top military brass, suggesting that the Pentagon use American cities as “training grounds” for its troops in a remarkable break from decades of precedent that sought to keep politics and the military separate.
    “Inner cities are a big part of war,” Trump said, before criticizing Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and Washington. “I will never hesitate to protect our people from the horrible plague that is taking place from within.”

    Not on Jan 6, 2021. But does he have it now?

    General Hertling has made no secret of his disagreement with this regime, anytime they break a law or trample on the constitution.

    But this makes you wonder how many other active duty and retired military felt as he did, during the condescending treatment they were subjected to.

    ICE is Trumps national police force with no oversight.

    "Thompson, 43, said federal agents had just exited the fortified facility and appeared to be chasing a protester when the protester and officer collided with band members, most of whom were wearing banana costumes."

    I’m loving the costumes. Not just the band.

    And in Portland as well as Chicago, Protest Frogs “are MULTIPLYING” —https://bsky.app/profile/oregonian.com/post/3m2srabzjts2p

    According to CNN, “As the Department of Homeland Security floods social media with “propaganda” videos, and pro-Trump commentators flock to Portland and Chicago in search of a “rebellion,” local residents are responding with… chicken suits and clever jokes.

    Thursday night on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel tossed to a “special report” from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, “reporting from war-torn Chicago.”

    Pritzker, wearing body armor, played a TV reporter in the video clip. ‘We’ve seen people being forced to eat hot dogs with ketchup on them,’ the governor quipped.”

    He has already extorted newspapers and TV by bringing extravagant civil suits over their reporting of his past transgressions. Eventually they settled by giving Trump millions. Now he is directly attacking the federal government to pay him because of the criminal cases they brought against him. Not even bothering with the civil courts.

    I can’t see the instagram link, but yes, he is insisting that the American people owe him $230 million. This is basically for the inconvenience (hurt feelings) he suffered after stealing hundreds of US classified documents and trying to steal the 2020 election.

    His demand is being made to the department of justice, now being run by his own political appointees who, coincidentally, were also his personal lawyers defending him in the lawsuits. I’d say his chances are pretty good.

    Also a coincidence: the amount of $230 million is the recently increased estimate of the cost of the Donald J Trump Ballroom, to be constructed after his current, unauthorized demolition of the East Wing of the White House.

    I do not know why I even bother trying to use Facebook Meta products. It is a scam. Years ago they promised free and public access as an attempt to get people to stop using personal and business websites. Once everyone moved they changed policies to force login just to read a post.

    Trump says he’d have final say on $230m in damages for past investigations
