I am going to reference an article from one of the most racist websites on the internet, The Root.
Pam Keith, a U.S. Navy veteran who ran out of Florida’s 18th Congressional District as the Democratic nominee, told The Root that Democrats should give up on working with Republicans as if they are operating in good faith and have shown that they will be as corrupt and obstructionist as Trump.
“What they’re saying is we don’t care that he broke the law,” said Keith, who also hosts the politics show But What It Really Means. “He’s our guy and we’re with our guy and there’s nothing you can say to make us turn on our guy. He’s above the law. He’s above the Constitution. He is above the well-being of the United States because he’s our mechanism to retaining power. That is the absolute definition of totalitarian dictatorship. We don’t care what he does—especially if what he does hurts you,” she said.
“You cannot live in a diverse country when the paradigm is oppressed or be oppressed. That’s what’s going on in South Sudan right now. There’s only one way: bloody conflict. The only way a country like ours survives is through mutual agreement to set a standard. That’s what the Constitution is. That’s what the rule of law is. If you don’t have that, then there’s no incentive to peacefully allow the other sides to exercise power.”
Let me remind you that Pam Keith is a JAG officer, not a combat officer.
Also, everything she is saying here is wrong, except that she hopes the Democrats do not work with Republicans at all.
They are using Trump as the excuse to not even give lip service to the idea of compromise and instead will stomp their agenda onto America’s face with a boot.
But it gets worse.
Kyle Bibby, national campaign manager at Common Defense and a former Marine Corps Infantry officer, told The Root that had a foreign entity engaged in an attack similar to the Jan. 6 coup attempt or rallied the support of the main culprit thereafter, the U.S. military would have responded with an offensive strike or at the minimum stiff economic penalties. But he added that the militias and Trump supporters who were there are ultimately not so much the issue as is the Republican Party that empowers them.
When asked about the violent insurrectionists, Bibby said, “If they were in Afghanistan, we would’ve hit them. Either a raid, drop a bomb on them, whatever it is.” He continued, “But the organizations that are funding this and who are backing this that are creating the political movement behind this are organizations like Fox News, Breitbart, One America News Network, and the Republican Party. If these organizations existed in another country, we would be sanctioning them. We would be seizing their assets for inciting terroristic threats against an American ally or against U.S. interests.”
A USMC officer thinks that the people to stormed to Capitol should have been killed with airstrikes and American news outlets to the Right of Pravda should be sanctioned or driven out of existence.
Malcolm Nance, a national security expert and author of the upcoming book, They Want to Kill Americans: The Armed Militias, The Fanatical Terrorists, and The Deranged Ideology of the Coming Trump Insurgency, told The Root that not only is the Republican Party behaving like a terror group, he predicted soon after the Charlottesville, Va., attacks in 2017 that Trump’s use of insurrectionist language—“stand down and stand by”—essentially would become a white supremacist call to arms akin to kind of terrorist extremism he saw as a military intelligence officer.
“If Trump wins, these unofficial paramilitaries, the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Boys, the state militias, all these other groups, are essentially going to become semi-official Brownshirts [the original paramilitary of Germany’s Nazi Party] of the Trump campaign,” he said. “If Trump loses, these people are going to become the Iraq insurgents. They’re going to go underground. They’re going to be furious and, over time, with the Trump campaign leading as the political wing of this insurgency. With a president in exile, those people will resort to armed violence, political standoffs, and terrorism.”
Now that Trump has lost that election, they are going to be the Iraq insurgents. The Republican Party will view themselves as Sinn Fein and the Republican base will view themselves as the white Catholics who think they’ve got to support the IRA.”
Go study your history of what the Britsh did in Northern Ireland. My God that was some oppressive bullshit.
I guess that oath to the US Constitution means nothing.
Officers with this mentality are the ones who will survive the Biden purge.
The ones who say “you know, a bunch of protesters going into the Capitol shouldn’t be killed with JDAMs and Hellfires because they have civil rights” are going to get rolled out for being White Supremacists. Probably with discharges that prevent them from getting jobs and buying guns as civilians.
We have ex-military who are suggesting that Trump supporters, all 74 million, are at the same level as Iraqi insurgents or Sein Fein.
That means troops with rifles on American streets setting curfews like in Bagdhad or Belfast.
Oh wait, that’s DC right now…
Just wait until it spreads.
Also, I am a sucker for history and tradition. It might be time to replace the guns I lost in that ice storm. I’m thinking an AR-180 clone and a Hi-Power.
This is the type of officer that survived Obama’s purge in 2015, I am certain Obama was trying to prep the military for Hilary in 2016. It was part of the reason I left the active military at that time. Soldiers families live on base now and it’s hard to protest unlawful orders putdown by high command when they have your family under their control.
Projection … I’ve just done a thing called, Projection,
And suddenly I’ve found,
How very exposing, a word can be…!
Accuse them once and suspicion’s growing…
Yell some more and they’ll wind up knowing!
Projection!
(To the tune of “Maria”)
My experiences with JAGs show they’re basically military HR: work on behalf of the company while having no expertise in the company’s actual purpose. They’re not there to help you.
he predicted soon after the Charlottesville, Va., attacks in 2017 that Trump’s use of insurrectionist language—“stand down and stand by”
Curious prediction, as that line came from 2020.
“He will die in prison”
–Unnamed Intelligence official, February 2017, speaking about Trump
That USMC guy reminds me of another communist “veteran” — Rep. Auchincloss (D-MA).
Waitwaitwait…that would be the Democommunists who said exactly the same thing when Fat Bill got caught with his DNA all over an intern’s dress, and he obstructed justice, and then the very same Democommunists refused to convict him at impeachment?
Sh’yeah, you don’t get to do that, then try to pretend you’re all “law and order” now, as if the shoe suddenly fits.
All those crooks should be strung up, just for grins, as co-conspirators in the four year long coup.
Then go after their families, and then nuke the site from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.
That seems to work OK when your logistics are based on another continent altogether. Along with your rest areas, and families, hospitals, training areas, etc.
I wonder if it would appear so “clean” to the myopic marxists, with all that fragile/vulnerable “tail” in the same, or next, state?
Targeted by folks whom you have worked very hard to convince that there can be no accomodations between you, and who have nothing to lose?
God what the Brits did to the IRA was unacceptable? What are you a founding member of the Provos?
I suspect the reference is what all the Irish were subjected to, as a strategy (for good or for ill) to target the IRA. My suspicion is that our bloghosts would not find the IRA activities acceptable, rather, that those activities might serve as an abstract of potential coming “festivities” here CONUS.
And, should there be wise people among us, that that lesson might be heeded, and, we all pray, avoided being re learned.
