NSR: CHICAGO Political Thread ***HIGHLY TOXIC - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK***

This isn't what my uncle died fighting the Nazi's for.

If all you are doing about the dissolution of the Constitution, NATO, Greenland, ethics, morality, etc, is posting (which is certainly important) then the forces of brut force and bigotry will likely prevail.

The largest possible numbers being in the streets is one of the very important things that regular people are gonna need to do, probablyly repeatedly. It's no oak stake through the hearts of these vampires, but nothing good Is gonna develop w/o a VERY engaged citizenry.
As well of lots of other tools of resistence.

If yer not part of the solution...

 

The second amendment?

 

I ain't becoming them while bitching about them.

Fighting authoritarianism with one approach doesn't work, to put it mildly. We need a multi-pronged attack. Everybody do what's right for them, but be doing something.
Never say never, but it's palpable how much they want us to stoop to their level. That's the easy thing to do.
Getting out of this current reality is gonna be anything but easy, neat and/or tidy.

 

Some may balk at watching this because of the ‘leftist’ medium it was originally broadcast on, but Amb.Taylor and Lt.General Hertling are ‘non political’ voices with notable global experience.

the thing mentioned I didn’t know is there was to be more Ukraine discussions in Davos that are now being disrupted by the Greenland madness. Putin is thrilled.

Can anyone explain why Trump/MAGA thinks mucking up NATO is good for the US and the world???

 

Because he’s aligned with and is a libertarian grifters.

 

The GOP has hated international organizations since the League Of Nations.

 

While I was trying to figure out how to get the number of international slots down from 13, I wondered (discouragingly) if Zinckernagel might want to go back to Denmark in lieu of playing in a country that wants to take over his.

Bummer.

 

You don't have to know what it is, if it exists at all. Take my word for it it's bad and you have to vote against it and every other issue you don't understand. None of it will affect you. Don't worry, be happy.

 

What if America were to buy Greenland?

"In American history acquiring territory is nothing new," comments Russian senator Konstantin Kosachev. "Everyone remembers the purchase of Alaska from Russia…"

But, he continues, "forcing such a transaction is absolutely illegal. This is a violation of the sovereignty of Denmark and Greenland, a violation of the letter and the spirit of international law…"

"Perhaps the US president himself doesn’t yet understand where the boundaries of the possible lie and is feeling them out."​

You know you've made it when Russian senators question your awareness of the truth.

President Trump is still talking about why he thinks the US should acquire Greenland, and tells world leaders that Greenland has a choice.

"You can say yes, and we'll be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember," he says.​

 

Another one bites the dust.

“There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.”

I guess the “self defense” required is no longer disproportionate. Any self defense at this point is defensible.

 

I don’t expect to survive it.

 

Nice of you to make fun of innocent people getting murdered in the streets by federal agents.

 

Don't see any signs of ICE 'looking for the worst of the worst' to deport...just seems like the targeted outcome is to generate cause for the insurrection act

Screenshot of the most recent victim...holding his phone.

 

I think that screenshot is from this video:

Correct, but I saw it on a different account on IG

Not sure where this pic is from...provides a more clear view of what the man was holding.

 

A 37 year old with a license to carry. Not a targeted, undocumented person as the Justice Department stated.
