    Allowing terrorist attacks opens the door to “national emergency” just in time for election season

      This is the plan. Roll out the red carpet for terrorist attacks. Declare national emergency. Cancel elections. Then it’s revolution to get the country back. What a lame timeline

    I’m… honestly both in awe and aghast at how fucking blatant the regime is being about it. They’ve literally shut down the team that is in charge of addressing and categorizing security threats to the US originating from Iran immediately before starting a fucking war with Iran. Like… I just… what the actual fuck. I can’t even.

    Between this and the documents leaked about their plans for the election, the intent couldn’t be more obvious if they put it on a fucking billboard. I hate that it comes down to such imbecilically stupid and petty US political bullshit like that, and that it’s killing so many people and fucking up so may other parts of the world… but seriously, I really think that was a massive part of their rationale here. It’s a distraction (operation Epstein fury), combined with creating an extremely obvious opening for an asymmetrical/terroristic threat that will be used as a justification for removing the electoral process. That’s the plan.

    Sort of how George W had intel that Bin Laden was planning on flying planes into buildings months before 9/11. Lucky for George, he got his war and a 2nd term. Everybody else suffered.

    if America gets attacked because of this fat man and his administration’s war, a firing squad wouldn’t be enough to quelch my rage.

    He’s getting his tiny rotten mushroom dick half hard at the idea of another 9/11 happening between now and the midterms - he’d so very happily sacrifice 10s of thousands of Americans if it meant more power for himself…

    Hey Iran, I bet you could get a sizeable bomb to maralago, just say you’re giving him a golden gift and he’ll be there. Maybe get lucky and his whole cabinet too.

    Anyone who didn’t think this would increase the threat of terrorism has forgotten what they said they never would.

    (Or they weren’t born yet.)

    Cool, so while dimbulb donnie is invading other countries for no fucking reason and Stephen Miller is giving absurd quotas of brown people to kidnap and throw in concentration camps and/or extreme rendition, they are increasing the danger to all Americans on top of that?

      A terror attack will drum up more support for the war and give them.an excuse to declare emergencies to further trample civil rights.

      It’s the best thing that could happen for this administration.

      The White House didn’t accidentally bomb a girls school.

      This was done to incite anger, create groups looking for revenge, have a major terrorist activity on US soil, then lock the entire country down “because war”. They want a 9/11.

        I’m thinking the magatards who cannot even remember what they said they stood for yesterday have permanent erections from things like: fighting “woke”, crushing any remaining dissent in media and entertainment, bombing fishing boats, starting a war with Iran, threatening most of our allies, and most of all, kidnapping and disappearing brown people while shooting protesters.

        Will it do them any good at all? Nope. If they were living in a trailer and eking out a miserable existence before, they still will be. It will most likely be even more miserable since things like food and health have been ripped away from many Americans. But at least they get to whoop it up over breaking the country and making others’ lives miserable.

    A Mediaite repost of Daily Mail…

    I keep saying this over, and over, and over again in this community. Keep information hygiene in mind, please. Post the original source at least, and try to avoid serial reposters, like Mediaite. Mention Mediaite in the body as your original reference, if you wish.

    …And try to avoid tabloids like Daily Mail, too, or at least mention a “take the source with a grain of salt” in the post’s body if its an interesting original report. This is good reference to start with:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources


    But no one ever cares.

    Past commenters seem to agree when I bring this up, yet poster and mods don’t do anything.

    This is the final straw for me. I don’t like blocking anything; I’ve only blocked two other Lemmy communities, one a bot spamming one. But I’m blocking /c/News, as apparently it isn’t going to change, and I came to the fediverse to get away from mass-upvoted tabloid reposts flooding the top of my feed.

    Luckily the “highly qualified” head of Homeland Security just got replaced with someone new who in ADDITION to being unqualified is also inexperienced.

    We are about to see what happens when you fire all the competent warfighters and national security personel only to replace them with skinheads, dropouts, and AI.

    Continuing with his idea that if he can’t hear it it isn’t happening.
