"Look. don't provoke Trump and his circle, else they will invoke the Insurrection Act."
Trump and his circle want to invoke the Insurrection Act anyway, one way or another. Just a question of how and when.
Appeasing them ain't going to work.

Keep watching - Trump and his circle almost have their precious goal: invoking the Insurrection Act.
As per said before: a great deal of what is being done is simply Trump and his circle working backwards from this objective.

A constant stream of populist-sounding ideas can be a fog machine. Behind it, the hard levers—tax cuts, tariffs, enforcement—shift income from workers to the well-off.
What he says sounds populist, but he never follows through. What he does is takes from the poor and gives to the rich.

Since y'all asked nicely, here's my complete history of Robin of Sherwood. One of the finest TV shows ever made. Hugely influential. Most modern cinematic/TV Robin Hood tropes trace back to it.
As Herne would say:
"Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten."

This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.
In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

🎄 On the 4th day of Christmas… “four calling birds” was originally “four colly birds” meaning coal-black i.e. blackbirds✨
So next time you sing the carol, picture the glossy male blackbird with his bright yellow beak and fluting song.

Most people go into political conversations with their MAGA family ready for a debate.
But debate is the fastest way to push someone deeper into the movement. There is a better way.
