The commander of the arm of the U.S. military responsible for Donald Trump’s illegal military occupations of American cities said he is willing to conduct attacks on so-called designated terrorist organizations within the U.S.
This startling admission comes after months of extrajudicial killings of alleged members or affiliates of DTOs in the waters near Venezuela, which experts and lawmakers say are outright murders.
Gen. Gregory Guillot’s sopenness about the potential for unprecedented military action within U.S. borders comes as the White House, Pentagon, and Justice Department continue to refuse to rule out summary executions of Americans on Trump’s secret enemies list, after weeks of requests for clarifications from The Intercept.
So we’re all terrorists, right?
Bold move in a country with more guns than people.

“Comrades” is the term they really hate to hear.
Bold move in a country with more guns than people.
You need the people to use the guns, otherwise they’re not worth much. And just holding a gun doesn’t do much. Which Americans are just talking shit and which ones are willing to Luigi a motherfucker?
Trumo still has 35% support.
“Designated” in what way?
IIRC, Trump just designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization despite the fact that it has never committed terrorism and it is not an organization.
This is just carte blanche to murder any political opposition.
Did anybody else interpret Trump’s messages about Rob Reiner’s murder as the same as when a terrorist organization takes credit for an attack? If anything actually deserves to be designated as a terrorist organization, it’s MAGA.
My first impression reading his bizarre comment was that Trump believed a MAGA cultist killed the Reiners for their politics, and he was happy about that and taking credit for what happened. Basically, “look what happens to meddlesome priests”.
I guess its probably too soon or insensitive to ask what his son’s politics were but I’m doing it. The Reiners were supposed to meet with President and Mrs. Obama later that night so their argument that led to the murders being about politics doesn’t seem completely impossible.
The 32 year old son had been in rehab 18 times. He’s a really screwed up dude, so trying to find some sort of logical motivation is unlikely. Like many of these shootings, the ultimate “reason” may be very unsatisfying to everyone.
If you look at a single incident and try to assign blame, you’ll likely never be satisfied with any answer. However, if you look at this as a category of incidents, then it’s actually quite easy to find ways to reduce the number of occurrences.
For example, for drug related offenses, you could be looking at solutions like decriminalizing drugs and offering more social programs. Lab tests with rats have shown that when the rats have a strong community, they will naturally stop abusing drugs. It wouldn’t be surprising if the same thing works with humans. We should be spending government money to encourage the development of caring communities.
For mental health related offenses, the same sorts of things can help. Having support can be the difference between life and death. Although psych meds can be lifesavers, the government needs to invest not only in pharmaceuticals and making pharmaceutical companies rich, but in treating the person.
And it goes without saying, but the violent sort of fascist rhetoric that we constantly see from the GOP and MAGA in particular, shouldn’t be tolerated from our politicians. Ideally, I’d like to say the same for news, but that’s a more difficult problem to solve.
shouldn’t be tolerated from our politicians.
That’s what’s getting me so bad about all of this. Constantly.
There was some sort of facade of gentlemanly/ladyly respect in politics before, but now there’s just a klan of bullies who say and do whatever they want and say “So, what are you gonna do about it?”
And the opposition can seemingly do naught but shrug and hand over all of our lunch money.
Clearly DJTJ told him that Hunter Biden would keep him flush with all the drugs he wanted if he offed his parents, but as with any deal made with the Trumps it wasn’t worth the paper it was written on before being flushed down the White House toilet. /s
Yes, he was telling Maga he likes that and wants more
Given that “domestic terrorist organization” is a term that has no legislative or legal meaning and was literally just a made up category for Trump to put “antifa” into, it seems like this general is actually answering that question for us.
There is exactly ONE “designated terrorist organization” in the United States and its “Antifa” and the mechanism for this designation is that Trump decided it.
He is happy to deploy the military specifically to target any group identified by Donald Trump as his personal opposition.
Oh great they’re going to start killing people in inflatable animal costumes
You say that like it’s a joke
Dickheads forget there’s the Posse Comitatus Act. Unfortunately it’s a matter of time they’ll try to get rid of it.
They’ve been trying to skirt it by federalizing the nasty girls and hoping for a confrontation but thankfully none has happened.
I’m not so sure about the Navy and everyone below the Admiral who spoke out and got fired, the sailors who fired those missiles fucking wronged their oath badly.
They break a lot of laws with no consequences. I’m pretty sure they’ve given up even caring about how to justify their lawbreaking at this point.
This man should be immediately court-martialed and removed. I hope he realizes he will be the second this administration is done.
He did have the caveat “if I was confident the order was lawful”.
I hope he realizes he will be the second this administration is done.
Merrick Garland sat on his hands for years.
he was a republican part of the federalist society, he wasnt going to do anything anyways. i suspect the last admin only strung along with charging trump because it boosted thier numbers at the polls/voting, OLD school DEMS are totally complicit.
The US Government threatening to attack targets on US soil… The thing the right wing have always complained leftists and Obama were planning?
That’s what they’re doing now?
Every accusation from fascists is a confession.
Hitler takes off his mask to reveal a giant rat.
I mean yeah, right after they were screeching about “top secret FEMA camps that are really death camps” and then turned around and started throwing immigrants into cages in actual secret death camps in random countries.
I can’t read the article. Yes, it is a paywall if they require an email address that requires emails to be sent to you regularly.
Can someone post the article here so we can read it?
Just use reader mode or archive.is.
Remember when everyone was saying that the milltary wouldn’t support Trumpie and Co. Pepperridge Farm remembers.
Please take me out in the first round of strikes, because I can’t live with this stupidity anymore.
This dude should be in big fucking trouble for either not knowing or not caring what the Posse Comitatus is.
These are actual, literal traitors to our nation. They couldn’t care less what the Posse Comitatus is.
Laws mean nothing without enforcement. There is no ‘trouble’, there’s no power in ‘should’.
It doesn’t cover the coast guard.
This is going to be like snipe hunts, isn’t it? Trying to find “antifa HQ” and the like…
This is beyond fucked. The people they go after will not even see it coming. A drone will jsut fuck you up and that will be it. Look at those boats they are sinking. Those people don’t even know there is a a drone tracking them until the explosion. Something like this is even more scary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fa9lVwHHqg and if you think this has not been developed you need to look at Ukraine and see what they can do with civilian off the shelf stuff. The ,military grade stuff will blow your mind.
And now that Fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction, and Antifa are terrorists, can we expect nuclear strikes on west-coast small towns?
“Also, everyone who opposes that are clearly terrorists.”
