“Cartels”
Specifically, the ones that don’t provide child sex workers.This is probably because Trump raped kids with Epstein.

I thought they already were? huh.
Remember how he was deporting to El Salvador anyone with a tattoo he claimed proved they were in MS-13 even though it was obviously nothing alike? Well now he’s gonna send the US military after people with tattoos he doesn’t like.
Every day Americans aren’t in the streets protesting is another day closer to his complete control.
Just curious, but in exactly what way is not already on complete control?
Oh, you haven’t seen anything yet…
What you’re looking at now is the empire on autopilot, the bipartisan machinery of war, corporate rule, and mass surveillance that’s been grinding along for decades. Trump tapped into it and twisted the rhetoric, but he hasn’t yet had the full opportunity to merge the machinery with personal loyalty tests, purges of dissent, and legal shields for his own power.
Under Biden or Obama, the system still pretended to maintain “checks and balances,” even as it carried out drone wars, mass deportations, and corporate bailouts. Under a fully unleashed Trump, those same tools would be wielded openly as weapons against political opponents, journalists, and entire communities, with fewer restraints, fewer masks, and more blood in the streets.
What we have now is control. What he’s threatening is ownership.
We’ve seen this movie before. in Chile under Pinochet, in Egypt under Sisi, in countless coups and dictatorships the U.S. has backed abroad. First, the system rots under “respectable” leaders who keep the violence polite and procedural. Then a strongman steps in, strips away the pretense, and uses the same machinery (the police, the courts, the military) to crush opposition and rewrite the rules in his own image.
The tragedy is that Americans think it “can’t happen here,” even though it’s already happened everywhere our government has exported it. The only difference is that this time, it’s coming home.
More comfortable US citizens love to say that they’re not somewhere “truly awful” just yet because it means that they don’t have to do anything, or that it’s not there turn to do anything. Trump’s got no one really standing in his way and over three years to do whatever he wants so all this is as good as done and still the country does so little.
They gotta grow up and do something.
Because he hasn’t solidified his control yet. He can’t kidnap his political opponents and lock them up. Yet. He can’t win every court case because there are still impartial judges. For now. There are still resisters in government positions. For now. Some states are still pushing back against him. For now.
The US is in the mid-30s era of Nazi Germany. This is the Nazi playbook almost exactly. The fascist has been put into power but still needs to consolidate it and exploit it. Every day that goes by is another day that he gets closer to that, and then the true atrocities begin.
So many guns in America, not being used for the right reason.
Is this our his Poland moment
Hea just fishing for a handout. Those who pay get off on a technicality.
