Something something tankies bad
That little Nazi Bottom just admitted he wants to use the military against our own citizens.
I hope his constituents tie him to the goalposts and leave him there all weekend.
hes lucky where hes at because KEVIN was so flip floppy in the house.
Red Scare… Again… For the third time.
A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.
Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
-
Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power.
-
It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.
To this end, Communists of various nationalities have assembled in London and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in the English, French, German, Italian, Flemish and Danish languages.

Trying to deploy the U.S. military “on our own shores” against lawful speech and activity is blatantly illegal.
The U.S. Posse Comitatus Act:
“Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus (a group of people who are mobilized by the sheriff to suppress lawlessness in the county) or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
You’d expect a sitting congressman to know the law (or at least research it) before spouting this kind of BS. But who am I kidding? Johnson is a Republican who is not subject to the Constitution or the laws that the rest of us must follow.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” - Frank Wilhoit
A fine and a maximum of two years in jail for what has to be one of the most egregiously tyrannical actions one could take. Assuming the law is ever actually applied.
What a joke this country is.
Emil Bove is the guy that suggested they simply not follow the courts and judges. Remember his name.
Its doesn’t matter if you site it for them. They cant/won’t read it. They are too far gone at this point to realize they are wrong
Calling out blatant illegality and corruption like this is still important. Not because the MAGA cult is reachable, it’s for everyone else. History has shown us they won’t always be in power and it’s vital to document this shit…
They don’t care about wrong or right, just what they can get away with
Is the communism in the room with us right now?
Two words he seems to have missed in his education: Posse Commitatus.
Are you hoping the military itself enforces that? Or the cops who already let ice murder people in the streets? Or what? McDonald’s employees?
That is the bis American problem. You’ve got mostly good laws, but nobody seems to follow them anymore. A kind of anarchy, but from the top instead from the bottom.
A lot of it has to do with the corrupt ass supreme court shitting on the constitution so they can enrich the guys buying them RVs.
Yes, SCOTUS is a problem here. Having executive, legislation and jurisdiction trying to burn the state down is a real issue. I’m amazed that the US still has some recognizable democratic elements, despite all those attacks on it.
You’ve got mostly good laws
No. No we do not. I mean for Hell’s sake we incarcerate way now individuals per capita than any other nation in the planet.
Or so called justice system is fucking horseshit.
I’m not talking about application. But the ideas behind them are OK. And I’m amazed that democracy is still not totally broken, despite the efforts of your current government and the spinelessness of the opposition.
No.
The ideas behind them involved slavery and genocide. Otherwise known as “colonial settler” behavior.
We have always been the baddies.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cmon cowards, nuke the communism
Anything that doesn’t support perverted capitalism is now communism, by their definitions.
Where in the hell is this communism in my neighborhood?? I haven’t even seen one thing about communism, the closest I’ve seen are these stupid bus and train stops and sub safe bike lanes (paint)…
Public transportation is communism.
Bike lanes are woke, and wokeness is communism!
And anything serving the public general interest should be investigated for possible sympathy for communism.
Oh, cute.
You know who else liked to use “enemy within” phrase?
.ml got them shook
doing anything to convince boomers, and CUBANS, and other south americans to keep voting for them.
and CUBANS
You misspelled Guasanos.
Just one more term bro!
The american citizens need communism. They are dying and need help. Regardless of what the giant capitalists think, communism is good. Democratic socialism is better. They are both mostly the same with regard to helping citizens and not businesses, even though words like “ideology” get in the way so everyone can keep debating while those giant capitalists continue to scrape away at your own bottom line.
sadly its been largely qaushed during the red scare, by right wing propaganda for decades.
“Mostly the ‘democratic’ part must be criminalized”
This is to get more money to fight Iran right
$5 it’s either forever war or trans people
