It is Monday, the twenty fifth of August, and the curfew in Washington, d C, the capital of the Home of the Free and the land of the brave, is eleven pm.
This is the warning.
It does reason to ask what happens if you want to be out after eleven pm, Like if you wanted to walk your dog, or even God forbid, get a slice of pizza or even a beer. No, Donald Trump and Pete Hagsath and Christy Nome and Cash Patel don't approve, and so they have to creed that no American shall go outside after eleven pm so that we can be great again and Washington can be crime free. Which again I bring it back, but what if you want a slice of pizza?
I'm very concerned about that, And not only that, I'm concerned about the way he is rolling that out in Washington, d C, which is essentially called essentially going after young black and brown youth in Washington, d C. Imposing a curfew, saying that if they violate the curfew, the parents could be charged five hundred dollars, saying that the kids could be detained and arrested. We've tried those policies before, they
do not work. And it's my understanding that crime was going down in Washington, DC.
So what is the purpose of this. Here's the deal.
What Donald Trump is offering, like all Trump deals, is premised on a titanic lie that was understood as such all the way back at the beginning, when Benjamin Franklin warned that any people who would give up a little bit of liberty for some security deserve neither. And so this is what the blanket of federal security looks like. Tanks at the train station checkpoints, on the main drags. The soldiers are armed against the people who they come from.
They are carrying weapons of war in America's cities, and Donald his sick ephans, his corrupt minions, having seen the success or, preparing to do it in Chicago and in Baltimore.
Except this time.
He won't be operating in a federal district, without a governor, without United States senators. He'll be doing it within America's states. And remember it is the states who created the Union. Now is state, under the Second Amendment has the right to maintain a well regulated militia.
And with Donald Trump, who's.
Threatening to do is to suspend that Second Amendment right. Along with fundamentally the Fourth Amendment, the First Amendment, the
Eighth Amendment, and the fourteenth Amendments. It's very troubling and people have a right to be frightened because Trump is about to federalize National Guard troops in states and turn them against the people, and or worse, to take national Guard federalized from MAGA states donated and send them as occupying forces into democratic led states, which is, in this digital age, a type of digital fort sumter, although the guns are real, the bullets are real, and the federal
occupation is real, and all of it built on the architecture of what Joseph Goebbels called the big lie and his observation that the bigger the lie, the more apt people are to believe it.
They don't acknowledge it, and they say, we don't need them.
Freedom. Freedom.
He's a dictator. He's a dictator. A lot of people are saying, maybe we like a dictator. I don't like a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with great common sense and I'm a smart person.
And so here we are.
Washington stands under a military occupation upon the order of Donald Trump, based on the delusions and the.
Lies of Donald Trump.
Now, a Fox News viewer may believe the lives of Fox News. They may believe that Portland, Oregon was burned to the ground several years ago, but that.
Does not make it so, does not make it real.
And the authority and the abuses of power, the abuses of office, that the American people are witnessing, should be understood always as a prelude of what can be done to you. Speak out against Trump, you get audited, speak out against Stephen Miller, what pulled out of the customs line?
If you try to come back into the country. Everywhere, it seems there's a new type of law and order where so long as you're powerful, you can take as you please, please and do as you want to whomever you please, so long as you love Trump.
Enough?
Is that what the rule of law means, the rule of Trump. That in order to start a business, to get a bank loan, to open an account, you have to have the right politics.
You have to have the right thoughts in your head.
You have to have the right beliefs, the right religion, the right faith.
We don't take an oath to a country, don't take an oath to a tribe. Don't take an oath to a religion. But don't take an oath to a king or a queen, or retiring or dictators. We don't take an oath to a wany dictator. We don't take an oath to an individual. We've taken oath to the Constitution, and we taken oath. Do you have tot it as America? Or who we're willing to die to protect it?
How long will it be before we see the first maggot? Congressmen suggest that for our security and to clear things up, those men with guns and those men with masks ought to be taking an oath to the man whose name is embossed in gold on the back of their vehicles. Donald Trump, they're mad, King. Look and read these posts, these musics, these fulminations, vituperations.
What are they? How do you judge them? They are insane.
Look at his swollen ankles, his failing heart, unable to pump the blood efficiently throughout his corpulent and decaying body.
Look at the makeup on the hands.
Look at the oval office, and look at the plan for this ballroom and his patio where he walked out and tested the new sound system at the People's House. After recently daring, as any great leader might answer some questions from the rooftop, a blanket of insanity, of authoritarianism with a uniquely americanized absurdist face is descending. And there is no part of the American mountain upon which the
snow will ultimately not fall. And before it's too late, it would be best to wake up to that reality. Something is being stolen from all of us right now. It's being taken by men with malice in their hearts and faithlessness towards the United States. What an awful era won't low men and women. But there is no lower American than that which will not stand up and fight back against this the wrongs being committed and plain sight rise up against it, stand up against it. This is
