From what's happened to date, it does appear that the scattered leaders of the Resistance 2.0 are well aware the shit-eating MAGAt-in-chief is intentionally attempting to provoke responses to his fascist regime that will give him an excuse to declare martial law. I write this because most of the protests to date have been peaceful, and the fascists are not helping their cause by the ways they've overreacted to them.         

And, I agree, the fascists have turned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into their very own version of the Geheime Staatspolizei. I believe we have a Jewish 'Merican Nazi to thank for this accomplishment. Only in 'Merica.

Really horrified with the unprovoked preemptive attack of Iran. Nuclear talks were due to continue next week, now they are impossible which is exactly what Isreal wants, to make all out war inevitable.

I'm really glad to see some pushback to overreach and use of your immigration service as some form of secret police

I suspect a few of us will be out in the streets this weekend. And, we won't even have to riot to attract the attention of the shit-eating MAGAts.

Yeah its grim that american politics is playing out in tweets.

Bribe and Bribee is a funny way to put it, my take is that the man who purchased a country (living the american dream) is now unhappy with the quality of the merchendise he paid for.

I saw something in the news the other day about the old 1950's Amos 'n' Andy comedy TV show. It reminded me of the dichotomies, like "briber and bribee," that the main characters of the show used in their dialogues. And, when I did a spell check and found that "bribee" is a legitimate word, I had to use it.

Anyway, I suspect Elmo the Oligarch's next move will be to try to buy himself a few Republicult™ senators.

I don't believe Elmo is going to give up on his dream of establishing a colony on Mars. And, buying NASA, and then control of the resources of the U.S. of A. is the only remotely possible way for him to realize his dream in his own lifetime.

I suspect this drama may have much to do with Taco Taco Turd wanting far more for NASA than Elmo the Oligarch is currently willing to pay. After all, Felon 47 has already made so much money since getting back in the White House that mere hundreds of millions here and there is starting to look like chump change. And, it is possible for even an amoral oligarch to have an occasional cash flow problem.

I'm amused, but it's unclear to me where this current reality TV episode is going. This may very well turn out to be no more than a pause in negotiations between a determined, extremely wealthy briber, and an extremely greedy bribee.
