I would like to know how many National Guardsmen have resigned since this started.

Ya absolutely: recently hired ICE agents are highly suspect, it's people who can't get a better job in LE so they are going for this paramilitary-organization-slash-The Apprentice-II. Like Hitler's "brownshirts" in our newly-fascist America.

Shut that shit dowwwwnnn! Let the people take it from here. It’s clear that we need to fight our own battles. I’m an attorney saying we have no agents on our behalf. SCOTUS’ inconsistent rulings with the same sitting justices is proof of corruption. National Guard sent to Los Angeles, federal government being dismantled, and ICE trolling being no IDs while those around him trip over each other to kiss his ass. Did he even win the election? Elon told us his voting machines were rigged. We have no where else to turn and we’re the ones who have to pay. A narcissist cannot be stopped with polite language and goodwill gestures. We are facing a boiling point which will likely result in a civil war, taking our fractured nation to a full break. This is not what we the people want. It’s only a matter of time before he declares martial law and takes away our firearms. And don’t tell me it’ll never happen because I’ve heard that with every “prediction” made. I’m not a soothsayer. I understand history and also understand that it repeats for those who refuse to learn from it. This is happening in the United States because too many citizens believe it couldn’t. It’s time to fight back. It’s past time to fight back. We the people haven’t appreciated the democratic republic we live in. It’s time to protect our country.

What a great video. though apologies for watching one day late! Despite being retired, I am often out and pursuing volunteer activities, following up with various projects that cannot wait (at least not at my age), or catching up with my four adult children who all are very successful. I am so worried about their future, as well as the future of our country. I am still committed to do my part for our country and future generations. You, other Substack members, and guests are very inspiring!

This occupation is a farce. A rude, crude display of power by a corrupt government which NEEDS to be deposed. What a waste of taxpayer money and other resources to add to the country’s debt and to earn worldwide disgust. It’s beyond disrespectful to our National Guard and to every single one of us.

So this is costing the companies that are the National Guard regular employers for retirement benefits, medical and these kinds of things but DOD pays their wages?

Right about about the 33rd minute Fanone refers to how disappointed he is in American institutions, individuals who are highly placed, or folks who we thought would have been able to be depended on. Trump of course is a total sicko, and so he's not surprised by the Admin. But these law firms, these universities, these folks who are happily becoming new ICE agents, these Supreme Court justices....... and I totally get that. I too feel really very sad that my "already fairly dark" views of this heart and soul of this country turned out to be somewhat charitable. I think my faith in the people and institutions of this country have, thus far, only been tarnished further. It's really very depressing if I sit around and think about what we have shown ourselves to be worth. We have let the figurative weeds grow up around the Lincoln Memorial, and failed to clean off the graffiti, and it's now a sorrowful sight to behold.
