He's literally tearing down the White House.

I don't think the Epstein files matter anymore.
And it still looks like blown out scratcher bullshit.
I guarantee whoever drilled that into him, if it was in Croatia, was FULLY AWARE of what they were marking him with.
"Are you a tat artist?"

No, but I apprenticed to be one for a shot time, many ages ago. Also, I may have spent a fair amount of time hanging out in tattoo parlors.
"How can you be sure?"

Because it happened in my lifetime. One nazi tat on one nazi = all the nazis are gonna start coming to that shop, stinking the place up with their nazi bullshit and driving away the rest of your clientele. This is why most nazi tats look like shit. Done by scratchers.
To be clear on this: I have known actual tattoo artists in parlors who had racist beliefs. EVEN THEY would not give you a nazi tattoo in that shop.

If it gets out that a shop is dealing in nazi designs, that parlor is pretty much fucked.
Looking at the pic, it wasn't a parlor, either. You went to some scratcher in a single wide and told him to give you a fucking nazi tat.
"I got it by accident"

Bullshit. No tattoo artist in the United States, in the last 40 years, is gonna have a flash of a Totenkopf on their wall. Ever. It's a quick way to get blacklisted in the tattoo community. You brought that design to a tat artist and requested it.
Things I DO see possible, and even likely:
- Recession, followed even by a new Depression.
- Total functional collapse of the Federal Gov.
- Famine.
- The Automation crisis in Employment.
- War.
Grasping at nonsensical straws is a quick way to elevate your stress levels, blood pressure, and lack of critical thinking. Believe me.

What's going to happen? Bad stuff, yes. Likelihoods depend on which red flags you see comin' down the line.

National Martial law ain't one of 'em.
Oh, ok, so you put a bunch of snacks from the fridge on a plank, and everyone talks about your "great charcuterie." If I eat the same snacks out of the fridge at midnight, all I get is "who are you," "how did you get in," and "yes, officer, there is a naked stranger in my kitchen."
To circle back: The No Kings protests today are an excellent example of why national Martial Law is a Hollywood fairy tale.

Imagine if Trump tried to tell the military to go out and put a stop to these protests.

Across the nation.

Look at the vids and pics. Look at how many people.
As noted: They would need to hire 11,500,000 or more ICE agents.

At which point ICE would outnumber the current US Active Duty Military by 8 to 1.

So. No.
As I did above in the first post? Jeesh.
So Happy Tree Friends Mk.2?
Last I checked, they weren't closing the I-5 for this.
I beg your pardon, sir, but "Violence is the Answer" has a long, honored tradition in all United States animation. (Bunny, Bugs vs. Fudd, Elmer) (Jerry vs. Tom) (Wile E. Coyote vs. the Roadrunner) (Sylvester vs. Tweety) (Autobots vs. Decepticons) (Eternia vs. Skeletor) (etc.) (etc.)
Also, the Mil firing rockets today over the 5 into Pendleton today is a nothingburger. This is absolutely standard shit. I lived in Fallbrook, on the edge of Pendleton, for 4 months. There's a reason their rents are so cheap: You will hear artillery, rockets, and fighter jets EVERY FUCKING DAY.
If, say, Trump managed to get 12 million people to actively join ICE, we COULD be in big trouble.

At that point, ICE would also be more than 8x larger than the entire US military, worldwide. So.
To impose Martial Law, you need, by all modern estimates, about 1 enforcer for every 25 citizens. Not protesters. Not rebels. 25 citizens.

They don't have that. The gov doesn't have anywhere NEAR that.
If we're talking JUST Nat Guard (because seriously, the idea of using active duty for this is beyond unfeasible), then that 3 million turns into 765K.

And even then, a significant number of them would refuse or fuck off.

I'm pretty sure the protesters on camera today so far are more than 2x that
Then realize that if given such an order, a significant chunk of that 1% will refuse or fuck off out of the fight.

There is a reason you've only ever seen National Martial Law in movies and TV. It's the same reason you've only ever seen Dragons, Care Bears, and Superman in movies and TV.
Then remember that even with the new ICE recruitment push, the US Gov has, military and LEOs combined, about 3 million.

Total. For the whole country. And a vast swath of those are in office jobs. Not boots and guns.

Imagine 1% of this vast nation being tasked to control the other 99 percent.
