Serious question:
If someone gives you $500 in counterfeit bills, does counting it over and over somehow make it real?
Then why do we keep treating repeated claims as proof of value?
@elonmusk along with the comment, repost and like button would it be possible to add a "were you born stupid or did you have to study" button. Please and thank you.
@RedWavePress Joe should try reading the actual text. There are 5 acceptable forms of ID the first 2 are: ‘‘(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States. (2) A valid US passport.‘‘
@Bubblebathgirl@lilrioty54 Probably an unpopular opinion (especially coming from a veteran) but military service does not make you or your opinion infallible.
As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.
Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.
This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.
The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.
I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.
Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.
We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.
Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.
OH MY GOD
The Somali Embassy in Serbia just dmed me telling me to “stop laying about Somalia”
They must have learned how to spell in the quality learing center
It took about an hour to completely blow up what Democrats did yesterday with this “released” photo.
This was from a Hawaiian Tropic event at a Mar-a-Lago in 1998.
WE control the narrative and the Democrats HATE IT!!😎
CNN is really worried about the White House west wing and the new ballroom. Sad part is the “this is what you should care about, even though it has no relevance to your life” psych ops is working. I heard no less than 7 people talking about it at work yesterday.
Question from a Gen Xer to Millennials and Gen Zers who complain about having to dress and act professional at work: Do you honestly think I want to be here in slacks and a button-down instead of shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops?
Hi @grok
I am a 43 year old woman, not married, no children, I work full time, I do not practice religion, I decide where I go and make all my own decisions, including how I spend my money. How would my life be different if Ireland were under Islamic control.
