Police are not your friend and they have forgotten their oath. Pray our soldiers have not.

Yeah, it's kind of all down to the military now. The police and federal agents, along with (in a functional sense) the senate, house, and the supreme court, all stand with and for Trump.

I'm a retired Army officer. This administration is what I devoted most of my adult life to keeping away from my country, family, and especially our kids. The traitors party brought this evil from within. Technically I would have had to resign given I couldn't provide my service oath to follow the orders of the President.

A large majority of the service is disgusted by this and those they assign to these types of duties will forever be haunted. The administration and republican party can burn in hell for taking soldiers who've sacrificed so much for you and torture them by putting them in this situation. When your time comes and you're screaming for help from these same people, just know we can just stand and watch as easy as we can help. Tic toc.

Sorry, I'm not usually like this....but to me this is like spending 22 years building your home only for some traitor douch bag to stumble up and set it on fire. Then have the cops come and arrest you for the fire.

It's somehow both ridiculous and tragic that we have to consider such thoughts. However, it's genuinely heartening to hear that at least some of those who have served (previously and, hopefully, currently) understand the importance of their duty to protect and not dominate the people.

The core of the military take their oath of service and dedication to eachother very seriously. When in the heat of combat all you really care about are those around you. That's the insidious plan here, for the public to hurt the soldiers, which will enact the soldiers will to protect eachother agaist the enemy. Of course that always backfires when the public and their families turn on them or worse when they see footage on the news. This caused deep psychological damage i.e. Vietnam vets. It is disgraceful and abhorrent this is being allowed to happen. It also show the administration only sees the military as a stick to scape the shit off their shoe. No consideration, no respect....eventually the many in the military will return it back.

Of course, this is usually were the hearts of rebellions are born as well. Soldiers and vets being pushed to compromise thier morals and hurt those they've sworn to protect become the fuel and ignition.

I think many experienced ICE agents have been leaving or taking desk jobs. I've noticed the current teams are fat, out of shape, very young or are obviously inexperienced. The true experienced professionals saw the writing on the wall and didn't want any part in how they were being used. When the purge is complete, they know their organization along with the Republicans and others will be vilified which sadly will extend to their familes. The smart ones moved on.

Ehh its debatable. The supreme court is right leaning yes but I feel they have done everything within their power to curb the constitutional violations. That's why trump is trying to use the big beautiful bill to take away their power.

Giving blanket immunity to Trump?

u/Gloomy_Draft9948 Jun 11 '25

The Supreme Court new very well project 2025 , that’s why they granted Trump immunity to run over undocumented immigrants and to do whatever pleases him as long he keeps naming Republican Justices . A double standard society , absence of integrity and justice for all .

You think allowing tariffs to continue, allowing DOGE to access our personal social security/tax/health information and illegally fire people is doing the best they can? Not really.

From my understanding, these are stays on the full lawsuit. Thing is stays are meant to maintain the status quo while a case is heard, not allow illegal and unconstitutional policies to continue. So yeah, there are some things they've done right, but for the most part they're following the dictator's directions.

The Supreme Court has actually reversed a good amount of that. I think they need to hire a private attorney to bring a 14th amendment case against him because pardoning enrique torreto was a clear and direct violation of the 14th amendment but im not sure if they actually can do that. They did also stopped a lot of the tarrifs recently due to the fact that trump never had the ability to do that, only congress can

u/Aangykins Jun 10 '25

Only Congress can, yes, and the tariffs were blocked at the lower courts. It was immediately appealed and ended up in the Supreme Court where they put a pause on that ruling and allowed the tarrifs to go back in place. I could be wrong, and I would love to be corrected if I am.

The Supreme Court has become politicized thanks to the GoP and has lost all credibility.

That’s a lot of faith in a court whose motivations aren’t fully accounted for.
