    So you think Biden can just force this through Congress?

    Yes. Clearly I support violent anarchy. Thank you for the obvious clarification

    Hitler breathed. Biden breathed. Coincidence?

    I mean, good grief. A tyrant just does it, he doesn’t propose to Congress.

    I guess the next step will be sending the GA national guard into Tennessee to protect their water rights? Seems weird that states are sending guards to do nonsense at the border but right wingers are really good at virtue signaling stunts.

    This should have been the plot to the Civil War movie if they were going to make it realistic

    Saw this story on Drudge today and figured this is as good of a place as any to post it.

    An infamous Miami cop joins Ron DeSantis’ paramilitary force

    Javier Ortiz, the Miami police captain whose long history of citizen complaints alleging beatings, false arrests and harassment made him notorious in the city he swore to protect and serve, has joined Ron DeSantis’ Florida State Guard.

    Ortiz, 44, joined the paramilitary organization in February, about a year after the Miami Police Department rescinded his firing on the condition that he give up his work-issued gun, work a nighttime desk job and commit to an early retirement.

    As a member of the State Guard, Ortiz can now be deployed to respond to natural disasters and situations the governor deems to be emergencies, such as stopping migrants at sea or at the southern border in Texas.

    Some members of the 300-member force have undergone combat training and are allowed to carry weapons and make arrests, though Ortiz is not a member of that specialized unit. A State Guard roster shows he is part of the general “Crisis Response Battalion” that responds to emergencies on the ground.

    So you would consider Eisenhower's decision to use the Arkansas National Guard in 1957 to protect Black students integrating the high school against the obvious will of the governor an example of the whims of a tyrant?
    Little Rock Central High School Integration - Civil Rights Digital Library
    The desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, gained national attention on September 3, 1957, when Governor Orval Faubus mobilized the Arkansas National Guard in an effort to prevent nine African American students from integrating the high school. After several failed attempts to negotiate with Faubus, President Dwight D. Eisenhower took action against the defiant governor by simultaneously federalizing the Arkansas National Guard, removing the Guard from Faubus' control, and ordering one thousand troops from the United States Army 101st Airborne Division in Ft. Campbell, Kentucky to oversee the integration.

    Doesn’t really matter with Biden. As we have seen with student loan relief or the border mess, Biden will go around congress and the courts (student loans) and ignore laws that don’t fit his will (border).

    Biden will go by the rules until he doesn’t get his way and then he goes around them or over them. While the subject of this thread may not be tyrannical, Biden has proven his tyrannical tendencies to ignore laws.

    Ike had an R after his name. If a D does it, it's tyranny.

    If your prior posts didnt indicate otherwise, I'd have thought this one was kidding in bad taste.

    That does seem to be the position of most MAGAs. That tyranny is not coming from moderates, but from the extreme right wing, is an irony lost on the OP and those who agree with him.

    I used to get this guy’s posts confused with the reasonable moderator Etgator. My head was blown several times until I finally figured that one out.

    Ignorance of the Constitution, while not exclusive to voters of one party or the other (or independents), is certainly much more effectively exploited by right wing media to mobilize their base, knowing the vast majority are incapable of actually reading well enough to fact check.

    Maybe because we already have immigration laws already on the books. Biden is ignoring them.

    What a bizarre thread. Biden is a tyrant because he uses the legislative process.
    And we should be more like the totalitarian countries that don’t allow protests.

    I guess the response part of the "Crisis Response Battalion" is administering beatings and harassment

    The insurrection was loaded with weapons. False talking point.

    Then why is it okay for Soros to fund "protests" like the BLM riots that killed dozens of people? Where is his accountability?


    Where is the money trail from Trump... or orders to "resurrect?" There is none, this is made up BS.

    And if some clown was caught with weapons then he should face justice on his own accord... had nothing to do with Trump.
