It seems to me that thanks to the Ukraine war, the weaponization of drones is going to spill over big time into the domestic and international terrorist market. So I don’t think we’ve seen anything yet.

Was actually surprised that neither of those botched/crackpot assassination attempts on Trump employed a drone.

In that spirit, strikes me that the Clint Eastwood "The Dead Pool" (no, not _that_ Deadpool) movie may have been the first (outside of SF at least) to feature a drone attack.

And it will be successful in locking down their permanent rule.

Won’t help, but I don’t see the GOP leaning on that as the only path to never giving up control. They’ve already abandoned democracy, looking for the scapegoat can mean they just send in people to start trouble, just like we saw after George Floyd.

Who's gonna do it? The Starbucks baristas, college kids, soccer moms? The GOP won the majority. 60% vets voted Trump. Not sure what it was for active duty but I'm sure similar.

This is crazy talk. How about we focus on better candidates/ideas/messaging and breaking thru the RW media ecosystem? Any violence that happens would get immediately clamped down and only further cements their rule - "See, we told you the left was bloodthirsty!"

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

GQP and vets/military aren't the only armed members of society.

And this isn't a sanctioned effort by the DNC, just stating that if the already crazy side swims too far out into their deep end of the crazy pool while eliminating all checks and balances on that swim, expect reaction in ways that aren't normal.

Ah, but I said "outside of SF". Which, granted, I now realise was a pretty bad use of abbreviation, as in fact The Dead Pool was set in SF (San Fransisco). But it wasn't science fiction. The use in that movie of an exploding remote-controlled car is pretty close to what weaponised drone tech actually is today (and its flying equivalent could have been used in one of those failed Trump assassinations attempts*)

* probably wasn't simply because wanna-be assassins prefer posing with military-looking rifles rather than dorky remote control units.

Lol, where do you think typical resistance members come from? Sprout out of the ground with a rifle in one hand, molotov in the other?

What a time to run on purge on military leadership. Probably necessary if you plan to issue unConstitutional orders though.

Enemies, foreign and domestic, people.

  • Plan potentially includes firing Joint Chiefs of Staff, including Milley appointees
  • Pete Hegseth, Trump's defense secretary pick, supports Pentagon leadership overhaul
  • Some US officials doubt feasibility of mass firings at a time of global turmoil

Putin probably still having shattering climaxes over the Pentagon getting neutered by his most rewarding asset. What do people like Mathis, Kelly and Bolton think of this lunacy I wonder? "Oh well" ?

FWIW Bolton has commented on the picks


“And the word loyalty is often used. I think that’s the wrong word. Actually, I think what Trump wants from his advisors is fealty, really a futile sense of subservience.
“And you know, he may get that, but I will tell you that that will not serve him well over the course of his next term, and it certainly won’t serve the country well.”

Trump making jokes about how he can't get Elon to leave while Elon assumes a more and more public high profile is just laying out the ingredients for what's inevitably going to happen. Others in Trump's circle will see opportunity to push him out in favor of themselves. Simple court politics.

I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that Trump will do more impeachable shit at some point during his 4 years. And he might be the 1st president impeached in both his terms. I wonder if the GOP would actually stand up and take action this go around? Vance would be a terrible fill in, but I'd love to see Trump actually impeached out of office.

I know that won't happen but I do think if it gets to the impeach stage again, at least a couple Republicans will have the balls to get behind it.

Things that are definitely not happening. We're probably in for a four year autocracy ride, at a minimum.

There are no longer such things after the USSC decided the president can do whatever he wants.
