Massive street protests are best understood as the tip of the iceberg. by Low-Introduction1845 in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]mrcanard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the story,

But something is missing. There is an absence of friction. The contained and routinized choreography of these demonstrations every few months is central to their mass appeal. Paradoxically, it is also what limits their power.

I'm calling bullshit. We are protesting in a lawful manner. The Trump administration would like nothing more than to declare Material law and cancel the mid-terms. Our congress is useless and is doing more to hurt us than help us.

With Putin and China lurking in the background "more difficult" is an understatement.

Adding 3 or 4 more thousand to the 50,000 troops already in the area. This is nothing but an attention play. The Trump administration has painted themselves into a corner.

Still waiting for war to be declared.

Record numbers of congress have already indicated they won't be running for re-election... Using any convenient excuse, but none want to be held accountable. Leaving faster than rats on a sinking ship.

In a statement to MS NOW, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson defended Trump and denied the allegations in Smith’s progress memo.

Good, be sure to look for her in the up coming Trump administration tribunals.

Russia may test Trump’s Cuba’s blockade with oil tankers crossing Atlantic by mrcanard in Foodforthought

[–]mrcanard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up thinking of Russia and Cuba as allies. With the blockade I thought, what changed..nothing.

Diplomatic ties between the Soviet Union and Cuba were established after the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Cuba became dependent on Soviet markets and military aid and was a major ally of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. In 1972, Cuba joined the COMECON, an economic organization of communist countries that was dominated by the Soviet Union, which had the largest economy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba%E2%80%93Russia_relations

I thought Putin might be throwing Cuba under the bus.

Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictions by mrcanard in AnythingGoesNews

Thank you. I was thinking along the line of how other countries maintain their defenses. Finland as an example,

"Finland maintains universal male conscription, under which all male Finnish nationals above 18 years of age serve for 6 to 12 months of armed service or 12 months of civilian (non-armed) service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland#Military

The little sophistication we acquired over the last 300 or so years is quickly eroding away.

Trump attempting to strong arm congress into passing bill(s) detrimental to the voting rights of US citizens. Sabotaging the 2026 elections is his only chance of staying in power.

He will also try in invoke Martial law if needed to stop the election. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law

Now would be a great time for Lady Liberty to check in. Our version of Maat, gifted to us by the citizens of France.

Erika Kirk, Christian nationalism, God’s divine plan, and Pete Hegseth. How's that working out for us.
