    A private posse of goons protecting high-profile ultra-right-wing individuals in power becoming an official enforcement group.

    Hmm… What does that remind me of I wonder…

    It’s crazy just how verbatim history repeats itself…

      Waiting for the skull heads and black uniforms. They’ll probably use the punisher skull this time around.

        Nah. The skull head only appeared on the uniforms of the SS that ran the concentration camps. We’re not quite there yet. But Herr Orange Führer is working on it.

          Not exactly, because those were unmarked street clothes. Illegally unmarked of course.

            They were matchy-matchy enough, even if they bought their uniforms off Amazon.

      So, in related news…

      Trump allies circulate mass deportation plan calling for ‘processing camps’ and a private citizen ‘army’ The group, led by Blackwater veteran Erik Prince, has close Trump ties.

    This is bullshit. He should use the Secret Service. We have absolutely no idea who’s in must private security detail or what they’re training background and security situation is.

    For all we know, the head of his security detail could be another 19 year-old kid like he’s got working in that doge department…

      He should not be using the Secret Service because he’s not actually the President.

        Actually, the Secret Service is cleared to do anything to protect the president or his political leadership( and white house), for example Dick Cheney went on a hunting trip and had an incident with a firearm and Secret Service was on the scene for it…
