For the first time since Barack Obama became President, I find myself in agreement with The Huffington Post. In today's email blast, there was this item:
Tuesday, July 21
'CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS' BREWING IN PORTLAND Federal law enforcement officers’ actions against protests in Oregon’s largest city, done without local or state consent, are raising the prospect of a constitutional crisis — one that could escalate as weeks of demonstrations find renewed focus.
State Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum filed a lawsuit saying that masked federal officers have arrested people off the street, far from the courthouse, with no probable cause — and whisked them away in unmarked cars.
A Constitutional crisis is brewing, indeed. The question will be what will the national Democratic Party leaders do? Biden, Pelosi and Shumer have both an opportunity and an obligation to stand up to the Presidency right now. At the very least, they could lend public support for the Governors and Mayors who are resisting this invasion which can realistically be compared to the firing on Fort Sumter.
Very specifically, Nancy Pelosi could have the House pass a resolution de-funding any use of Homeland Security personnel or assets in any city or state without an invitation by the local government. The Senate would probably vote against it -- giving the Dems the political credibility of having Blue State Governors issue "orders" for the federal invaders to stand down, or face arrest.
A civil war could ensue.
Rather than fight Trump in reality, the Democrats, the Main Stream Media and a lot of internet fuss budgets want to continue to fight him with words, memes and, above all, indignation.
It will be the shock of the century if Trump's enablers for the last three and a half years suddenly decide to fight this motherfucker head-on. More likely, they will offer more calls for us to Vote For Biden as a solution to this Constitutional Crisis.
Which would explain the entire episode.
Nevertheless, on the very long shot that the Democratic Party actually picks up the gauntlet thrown down by the Trump Administration, there are some very easy to understand political moves for their leaders to make. They could, for example, Fucking Order Him To Stop His Civil War on pain of impeachment, again. No hearings, just an up or down vote on impeachment in the House on the Federalism Question of sending troops into American states over the objection of the duly elected officials of those states. Force the GOP Senators to take a stand on State's Rights.
Or, if they don't have the stomach for that, Biden could go to Oregon and Illinois to hold joint press conferences with the Governors and Mayors, in which they outline the Constitutional Crisis. Their credibility is at an all time low now due to the absurdity of Russiagate and Ukrainegate. But right now, the public is looking for Real Leadership and a coherent vision of where to go next.
With the Institutional Democratic Party spending its money and using its remaining governmental positions, a HUGE pushback is possible. Perhaps some 99%ers have some other ideas for defending the rule of law.
Here is the point -- if they decline to do anything like what I am suggesting, we will finally find out just how much the Democrats really care about Trump and what he has done in office. My opinion is stark -- they are pretending to fight him. Well, the scare mongering about Adolph Trumpler is now dealing with some seriously fascistic shit. So, if they do not throw down about this, there can be no more doubt about American politics and Donald Trump. All a show to distract people from the reality that we have been a fascist state for at least 19 years.
Or, if they do take meaningful action. I will joyously eat a breakfast, lunch and dinner of CROW.
We'll see.
A few weeks later:
Two weeks ago, I posted an essay entitled, "Constitutional Crisis." It was followed shortly by another essay called "What Constitutional Crisis?" Both threads considered what, if anything, the institutional Democratic Party would do to defend the Constitution from the Federal Invasion of Oregon and other states in defiance of State and Local Governments.
The consensus was, nothing.
I'm not sure about the other invasions, but in Oregon, Adolf Trumpler has turned tail and run from the Moms. Biden, Shumer and Pelosi all avoided taking any meaningful action, but people on their own defended the Constitution, at least for the time being. For a fascist dictator, he sure does spin around like a weathervane, doesn't he?
This is blocked by a paywall, but the Wall Street Journal Headline tells the whole story:
.With No Federal Agents on Streets, Portland Protests Turn Largely Peaceful.
That is the Rupert Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal showing Trump to be a loser -- the one media shot against him that he cannot blow off. As recently as December of 2019, the business press was chortling about how Trump was winning the trade war with China and laughing about the goofy Democrats' impeachment effort that was increasing Trump's poll numbers. Both factors were pointing toward a second term for Donnie Shrimpfingers. Obviously, the Big Media has turned on Trumpler since then.
Does anybody have any local news about these Trump Invaders of other sovereign states? Illinois? New Mexico? Other places?
Or is the Constitutional Crisis over?
Comments
Here in Los Angeles
I cannot understand who dreamed up the scheme of blocking a freeway (an echo of the Candian trucker push back over vax mandates) or who distributed Mexican National flags. I smell a rat. Could be another False Flag operation.
At any rate the scheme is working to gain international attention to the dispute(s). I see two distinct issues raised by the confrontation. First, there is the simple fact question of whether any individual person really is here illegally or is guilty of crimes while here. It really reeks when the Trump Side of The News Machine skips over this aspect, telling their viewers that it is a FACT that these are gangsters and terrorists. Second, what the hell is the National Guard doing in California?
Just as soon as the tiff in the Trump/Musk bromance became news, the Big Media subject changed to Storm Trooper Panic.
My question remains, what should people do now?
Wage Civil War?
I smell a trap.
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
Well, Trump is
getting ready to send in a brigade of US Marines, so we shall soon see how far he wants to take this.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
Not a chance
Our strong leadership in the Democratic Party will stop it cold. /s
Note how...
similar the script runs to all the other ones that have duped Americans into wars since 'Remember the Maine!'
This time it really does look to be different - those other wars were foreign - this one they are planning to have in the Homeland.
It does indeed look scripted. Consider the timing and who benefits.
Trump was getting pushback on his Big Bloated Bill - blowing out the deficit by additional trillion$.
A minority, yet growing percentage of Republicans - even some Evangelicals were questioning and challenging his Mideast policy and the extreme influence of Israel/Zios in his administration and government and media generally. Also of concern Due Process and Free Speech and the attacks on them.
All of which were tending toward a nightmare scenario of constitutional conservative/libertarianish R's and independents and progressive types (rediscovering the Constitution after having overlooked it for J6'ers and during Covid) noticing they had some commonality of serious concerns - and actually start talking to, instead of past, one another and threatening to actually *cooperate*.
Then comes what appears to be the real trigger: people discovering Trump's contract with Palantir for an unprecedented (well, outside the PRC) super surveillance data base covering all Americans. Awareness started to spread and outrage was building quickly among many who were at one time Trump supporters. Which, apparently, required extreme measures to shut down.
My take - and that of more than a few others on X - is that the riots are a false flag op intended not only to distract from Palantir but to (yet again) panic and stampede the gullible American sheeple to not only not oppose the Palantir dystopia, but to get them to beg for the adoption of such a system to ensure their safety and security.
To embrace their own further enslavement.
Well, it's not like it hasn't worked before.
And factory farm hogs and chickens *are* safe and secure.
Up to a point.
We're seeing the bit players and extras - as for the directors and producers:

The revolution will not be televised
At this phase of the game, it is more being internalized.
Those aware of the 'news' can see the tactics being used
and perhaps the m.o. behind them. Not a pretty picture.
Why was Klaus Schwab put aside, for instance?
Zionism is a social disease
It seems to be a trap
.
and just the other side of what happened at the capital on 1/6.
The people were protesting peacefully and basically standing around and then the cops shot tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd. Biden aggressively persecuted everyone who was there whether they went inside or not.
Saturday when ICE was at Home Depot a crowd came and suddenly the cops shot tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd.
The cops started the violence at both events. Democrats called 1-6 an insurrection. Trump is calling what’s happening in LA an insurrection. That’s even more ridiculous because there aren’t any government officials in the California streets.
It’s both sides furthering the hope of being able to declare martial law.
Oh yeah J-6ers moaned about the Biden persecution, but now they want the military to arrest everyone.
Americans need to pull their heads out while there’s still time.
The message echoes from Gaza back to the US. “Starving people is fine.”
Caitlin Johnstone's Ode to Hope
While the Waymos burn
While the air over LA fills with smoke and teargas and Reaper drones
While Israelis hand each other trophies for not murdering Greta Thunberg
While Palantir stocks soar and insect populations plummet
While the news man writes headlines with increasingly creative phrasing
While people with nothing to lose sharpen guillotine blades
While the bank boys ask why the robot armies aren’t ready yet
While keffiyeh-clad heroes march to Gaza
While secret saints work secret miracles in the margins
While a sleeping giant stirs within our depths
While the flames dance in Buddha’s eyes
While my peacock feather heart opens like a fuchsia bud
While the tears roll down my cheeks for the dead and the dying
While the firelight dances on my walls and the rebels dance in the fire
I open my strange palms to our strange future and welcome it
Come what may.

Things suck. But we don't have to lie down and die.

with we are all gonna die?
Stating the obvious is not
helping with the interim.
