No F*cking Kings - The Lincoln Project

[Rhiannon12866]

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room is twofold -- 1) no f*cking kings, and 2) the United States military belongs to its citizens. Look up the Posse Comitatus Act -- this is a federal law, passed by Congress following Reconstruction, signed in 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes, that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States (i.e. you can't weaponize the US military against its citizens).

Rick Wilson sheds light on the reprehensible and unprecedented display of totalitarianism by Trump this week when he ordered the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles and then continued to Fort Bragg, where he hazed the next batch of soldiers. We are inching ever closer to the point of no return, and Trump's dream of military dictatorship is becoming more and more of a stark reality. Speak out while you still can. - 06/13/2025.

1. I am afraid that Trump will use these protests to declare Marshal Law and prevent the mid-term elections.

He knows he will be impeached after he loses both the House and Senate. This is what it has all been building towards.

2. That's why we need the judges to keep shutting him down!!!

*fingers crossed*

3. Even Reporters and Journalists are afraid to speak up or dare to ask a "nasty question" for fear of job loss.

4. Jimmy Carter went there during the Clinton administration to negotiate a peace

Turns out Kim Jung Un's grandfather only wanted "respect," so that's what Jimmy Carter gave him - and that peace agreement held until George W. Bush* included them in his "Axis of Evil."
