My only conclusion is that he considers normal anti-fascist
non-haters to be "domestic terrorists," so he's now making
war against all of us, here.

The US is at war with its own people.

do you think it gives him credibility and circumvents
the Constituion so that he can get the rightwing
courts on side?

They want to get cracking on raising and equipping the Republican Guard, or whatever they intend to call their paramilitary force.

from a government and legal policy angle.

The optics on this are going to be so bad, that's why...

... even if they plan to circumvent every single safeguard
and legality written in the oath they have taken.

... and both he and they, have no intention of leaving office... at all, no matter the outcome of any election. Assuming, of course, that he allows one at all. Roberts and the most corrupt Supreme Court majority in this nation's history will just say that his treason was "in the performance of his presidential duties", and dismiss the whole thing as a nothing-burger.
We thought 2025 was a nightmare? We ain't seen nuthin' yet.

and assault rifles are okay in D.C. per Bondi.

... couple of years, maybe, I saw a video of some Republican shitbag's town hall with one attendee asking when they could start killing Democrats. He wasn't joking.
When they tell you who they are, believe them. They'll never show you a molecule of mercy, so don't afford them any either.

Like the Bros who yell at the TV screen and want to start a war in a bar over a football game but never played football? That sounds like the goons that we see with their faces covered tackling people in immigration court and knocking over bystanders even elderly. Real cops take care to avoid harming bystanders when they make a tactical arrest. Goons don't.

Were to face the "ultimate sacrifice" for their orange god, recruiting wouldn't be so easy.

This shit is as far from American ideals as you can get.

When will they start the KKK back up? They'd work for free!

I'm sure there are thresholds - but THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY!!!!

Only putin wouldn't allow these armed convicts to come to his capital city to put down crime...

In order to take legal steps such as arresting agents for kidnapping, interfering with legal processes such as taking people out who had gone through the legal process and were set to become citizens.

it hasn’t happened before now

You mean the undeclared, illegal war America has declared on itself?

ICE . . .
Incels
Cretins
Extremists

Hope their neighbors see and voice their disapproval.
Some late night tyre slashing, perhaps?

Doesn't do much for their future job prospects, does it?

Q: What was your last job?
A: ICE!
Q. What did you do?
A: Beat up people as I felt like it!
Q: Felt good?
A: Yeah!

Well, I don't think working in this childcare facility would suit you.
Try sanitation instead. (Shit working with shit, seems appropriate.)

So far they haven’t been able to.
