@therobburgessshow That's a strongly worded memo, right there. Way to make 'em stand up and take notice, Chuck.

It makes my blood boil when some of the most powerful people in the country post like they’re just helpless bystanders. -
From this side of the Atlantic (the UK side) it looks like the US is slipping towards civil war, goaded on by a President wanting to invoke the Insurrection Act as a way of militarising his political power.@guardeddon @ChrisMayLA6 A couple of book suggestions vis a vis secession:
Peter Heller, "Burn" (2024) (Maine secedes)
Brian Hart, "Trouble No Man" (2019) (West coast post secession of a large area described as "The Preservation")
Both are grim food for thought.

Remember that the federal govt. is heavily armed.
I believe we'll see interstate agreements to do things that the federal govt. used to do. If things fall apart completely, these associations could become the basis of regional entities.

The Trump administration can fairly be called "lawless." Its representatives basically claim now that might makes right.
There is resistance, some of it organized, regional, and it is peaceful, so far. We know that violent resistance only would be used as a pretext by the regime.
Foreign countries should isolate and boycott the US.
