Global Nomad fighting against mis/disinformation campaigns. If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself -Timothy Snyder

For the ones on the fence about leaving the country, this will likely push those people to go. Just so much better and easily accessible healthcare overseas

Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

Totally would not shock me if he just bulldozes the entire White House by the end of his term.

i will never understand how 77 million Americans thought empowering this was a good idea. our country was so lucky to survive his first term and he's much worse now.

Ask former President Barack Hussein Obama whether or not he really believes that in 2020 Joe Biden got 15 Million more Votes than he did in 2012 (65.9 vs. 81 Million). Additionally, ask him why it is that Joe Biden “beat” Obama in every single Swing State with the Black Vote in 2020, even though Black Voters hate him, but in no other State? THE 2020 ELECTION WAS AN ILLEGAL SCAM/HOAX THAT THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY WILL NEVER FORGET!

It probably doesn’t matter but I would be flooding the zone with images of the White House destruction right now.

There is something more sinister here. They cant shut down the Dept of Education with all of the student loans out there. He makes it sounds like a nice gesture, but they will get rid of certain loans that will allow them to close the department faster.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Generally speaking, and there have been books written on it, Americans are incredibly ignorant. Nothing will reach the bottom feeders which represent 50%+ of the population.

Does lying about demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House with zero consultation with Congress, the National Park Service or anyone else something that will reach the low info voter who doesn’t watch the news? Will anything reach them?

What do you expect when the average American has a 5th grade reading comprehension, math, and science education. Im sure ICE will change to picture books soon.

Having lived in authoritarian countries for decades, when I came back to the US a few years ago, I was screaming from the top of Mt. Denali for Americans to wake up, stop sleeping, and take this more serious. The response I got was, Im an alarmist, a conspiracy theorist, etc etc. Well here we are.

Technically thats when the military would step in. However, that remains to be seen where the loyalty lies.

Martial law leads to annihilation of political enemies, torture of anyone who disagrees with the regime, violent deaths, etc etc. We are not there.......yet.

flicks28.bsky.social @flicks28.bsky.social · 18h

Uh, no its not. See my comments below on the Philippines. What you are seeing is "martial law lite lite lite lite lite." I can give other examples in different countries I have lived under martial law, but its brutal. The full force has not nearly been implemented.

flicks28.bsky.social @flicks28.bsky.social · 18h

In the 1950-60s, the Philippines was the 2nd richest country in Asia behind Japan. S Korea was an afterthought. Marcos came to power in early 70s for 10 years. By the time he left, the Philippines was and remains to this day one of the poorest countries in Asia.
