Who's gonna fuckin stop em??

They just arrested a judge. The only people who've been able to slow this roll.

What do you think happens next...?

The entire Armed Forces and Judicial Branch of the Executive is cronies from the Cabinet and AG down. If they feel like it they'll mobilize militias to do their work for them.

Citizen cops. Watch out. You may not hate cops now, but you'll understand what's been wrong with the whole system real soon. "Good cops" will be placeholders for men favorable to the regime. They will be corrupted.

Bribes will become commonplace in day-to-day business. This will often feel counterproductive. That's because it is.

Odds are this will play out quietly. Unless the Military does a surprise one, the Democrats aren't putting forward anything capable of challenging the regime. Sorry AOC and Bernie, I love you but Coachella ain't gonna cut it.

Build federated networks in your own life. The model applies. Organize horizontally not vertically/hierarchically. Find people making choices and doing things and help them.

Added predictions: the US invades Panama (again). Ukraine drags out. Recession settles in, staved off by markets hungry for short-term gains looted from Latin America, Ukraine, probably both. Probably around September a major bubble pops in the US stock market no matter what the tariff situation ends up being. Things get worse. Edit: Panama invasion may come as a result of this

So far breaking the law hasn’t bit him yet. Why should he start following it now?

Susan Collins just called: said he learned his lesson and it won’t happen again.

It's not a crime if there's nobody left to uphold the law.

ICE doesn't care. They're obviously enjoying being able to do what theyve been doing the past few months.

The things is based on their legal interpretation of the constitution, the people chose the president to uphold law and order and do what's best for the people. If the president determines this is what is necessary in order to protect the people from terrorists, his legal team will argue for a constitutional interpretation that says individual liberty is always secondary to the common good.

Just to be clear, this is not what I believe or support. This is what they will argue. I am writing this to try and warn people what they have in mind when they talk about constitutional interpretation

And they will claim they are in their right to return force. Idk what to tell you. I agree this is fucked up and you should have a right to defend your home.

That is the most basic American shit. The people that are on the white house legal team agree with that unless it conflicts with executive authority. To me that seems like you might as well have a king at that point, but they believe that a leader is chosen to promote what is best for his people. Given he was elected to do that, law and order (which is up to the leaders interpretation) takes presedence over liberty.

Adrian Vermeule is a Harvard constitutional law professor who has been making the argument the constitution should be interpreted to favor executive authority and power over individual liberty for a very long time.

Our local cops owe their authority to the State

I have a hard time imagining a world with cops at all that don't end up doing this

That's probably why states are trying to force local police to take on the role of ICE.

My city has what the governor and AG are calling "sanctuary city policy."

Really the sheriff has just said they do not take a stance, but they don't have the resources to handle the immigration responsibility the state wants them to take on. So the AG is wasting tax dollars bringing them to court this Wednesday to try and force the community to adopt federal policy.

How bout that small government and fiscal responsibility?

All cops are bastards and most are working with them

A Terrorist organization.

I agree, but realistically there's an entire private and public military behind this administration they could use against the people whenever they feel necessary.

The same people that argue what JD Vance does about the interpretation of the constitution not allowing for judicial decisions to supercede executive, also argue that it is up to an executive leader to uphold good/law and order as he sees fit. When it comes down to it, liberty is secondary to whatever the leader determines is necessary to maintain law and order.

Ethically, yes. Legally, they'll just kill you.

That's my plan. Just upgraded my front door gun to something with a higher fire rate.

So here is what I think. When you own a gun, you have to get a permit , right? (I believe so in all states). So you are on a registry. Trump knows who has guns and who doesn't. Being the coward that he is, he will go after the most vulnerable people first.
This is his whole thing. Trafficking U.S citizens who are toddlers is first. Then hes going to expand like hes been doing.

But back to gun ownership. He is gonna avoid homes with guns. At least at first. Just having a gun registered is going to deter him from sending in ICE or homeland. I think we already would have seen some gun violence with ICE at this point if he wasn't intentionally having them avoiding gun owned homes.

I suggest, even if you are anti-gun or have no interest in owning a firearm. go ahead and get one now. Store it properly. Learn to use it properly and safely. But have it. Have a record you have it.

But I acknowledge this could bite you in the ass later. He may later give weapons to ICE and tell them when the house has a gun and tell them to go in shooting. Idk. Its hard to predict at this point. Still seems like getting a firearm is a good choice right now.

Rifles are more accurate than handguns. Slower to load but also do more damage. Less likely to be used for mass shootings or suicide. So rifles are probably the better choice. You could aim for a lower limb for injuring someone and be less likely to shoot them somewhere vital.

shotguns also not a terrible option. You can always do rocksalt shells. Not 100% non-lethal but typically less lethal than bullets. Shot guns best for closer range and they scatter. Precision aim not as necessary.

I am from the country where a lot of my family hunts (though I never did). I might be biased for rifles because to me they seem like the only gun that most people should even have.

There are also non lethal options tasers and gel pepper spray (gel kind only, dont use regular spray kind as its likely to go back to you).

As a non-violent person, i feel crazy for writing this stuff. but i also believe in being prepared. I mean, I carry pepper spray on myself when I am out walking at night by myself (I am a woman). Never thought in a million years I would be saying "get a gun to protect yourself from the government". but my god, here we are.

They believe the constitution should be interpreted to uphold the will of a leader/law and order over liberty of the people.

I'm not saying I disagree with you, just telling you what the legal argument will likely be when they arrest people or return force when people try to defend their home.

That argument JD Vance made about judges not having the authority to rule against executive decision is not his original argument. Adrian Vermeule is a Harvard constitutional law professor who has been making the argument favoring unchecked executive authority over all other government and executive power over liberty for a very long time.

On the off-chance this isn't a joke, no, booby traps are largely illegal because they are indiscriminate and a danger to everyone in the premises, including the person setting the traps.
