tRump's loyalty test. Violent, cult like groups now consolidated under tRump's Ice Gestapo.

They are a Paramilitary Organization that serves strictly at the pleasure of Trump, Vance, and Miller.

(13,609 posts)It was just a question of exactly HOW tRump would use his fellow insurrectionists.
I guess nothing should surprise us anymore.

(1,566 posts)It was just waiting until SCOTUS was fully baked.
They've been training in the woods in "secret" the whole time, similar to how "flying clubs" became the Luftwaffe and Brown shirts became the SS, in plain sight under cover of "law".
On of the first actions after putting down this coup is to rescind ALL the pardons and reassert the Rule Of Law.
It's a fine line between "giving them the benefit of a doubt" and being fatally gullible.
We knew all along who they were because they told us.
DOJ has always deferred to right-wing paramilitaries and thrown the full weight of the Law at left-wing groups.
Now, with SCOTUS running interference they have the road all to themselves.
It kinda has the aroma of being rigged for seditionists and insurrectionists.

(5,057 posts)I believe that tRumps favorite enforcers, his favorite violent gangs are now ICE agents for the following reasons:
1) theyve disappeared. Where are the Proud Boys? Boogaloos? They used to be front and center. tRumps wet dream. I believe theyre still there, wearing masks with their identifying tattoos showing every now and then.
2) theyre masked up with no identification so who in the fuck are they?
3) Enrique Tarrio showed up on an ICE list as a propagandist and agitator.
4) their fucking tattoos identify who they are.
