    Sedona, AZ — There’s a new class rising in America. Quietly, methodically, it is being shaped—not by education, not by creativity, not by community—but by control. It is the Enforcement Class, and its formation marks a pivotal moment in the unraveling of the American dream.

    This is not the upper class—the billionaire technocrats, hedge funders, and media moguls. Nor is it the working class, struggling to survive in a failing economy while drowning in debt.

    It is a third class, emerging right between the two. It is composed of people who have felt discarded, emasculated, unseen. And now, they are being given a purpose. They are being armed, uniformed, and instructed. Trained to protect the elite from the rest of us.

    This is not a coincidence.

    Tens of thousands future police, military, ICE agents are being hired across the U.S. right now.
    This isn’t just about border patrol or quelling violent demonstrations.
    This is about preparing for the storm.

    The ruling class knows what’s coming. They see the signs. Climate disruption, economic collapse, automation displacing jobs, the rise of mass surveillance, the erosion of trust in democracy—it’s all pointing toward a volatile future. The elite know that when the system finally cracks, when the economy buckles and people can no longer afford rent or food or medicine, the masses will rise. And when they do, the elite will need protection.

    That protection will not come from the military alone. It will come from this buffer zone—the Enforcement Class—made up of people desperate enough to fight for scraps, but obedient enough to never question why they’re fighting.

    In exchange for loyalty, they’ll be promised food, shelter, and safety for their families.
    While the middle and lower classes fall into chaos, they will be fed.
    While the rest of us are locked out, they will guard the gates.

    What’s particularly chilling is how effectively this class is being cultivated. The symbols of their identity are everywhere: tactical gear, warrior branding, stoic father-figure, YouTube influencers, militarized aesthetics in film, video games, and ads. Look at military recruitment campaigns—they’re no longer just about national pride. They’re psychological appeals to a generation lost in confusion: “Be something. Be someone. Join us.”

    And once they’re in, these young people are given a brotherhood, sisterhood, a badge, and—most importantly—a target for their frustration. Immigrants. Protesters. Journalists. Feminists. Black men. Queer people. The poor. Anyone who resists.

    This is how fascism creeps in. Not through sweeping announcements, but through subtle normalizations. It builds itself not on confidence, but on despair, disconnection, and desperation. The Enforcement Class is the infrastructure of a dictatorship-in-waiting. They don’t need to believe in ideology—they just need to follow orders and get paid.

    What’s worse, many of them think they are the good guys.

    They’re told they’re defending freedom.
    But really, they’re defending the fortress of the wealthy.
    They’re told they’re restoring order.
    But really, they’re crushing dissent.

    This isn’t a dystopian prediction—it’s a present reality. The United States is quietly becoming a nation where the gap between the elite and everyone else is not only economic, but militarized. The buffer is being built. Not with policy, but with people—confused, weaponized, and uniformed people.

    This class is being cultivated not just in police departments and the military, but in security, surveillance, digital moderation, ideological watchdogging, and gamified online movements. They are not always armed. They do not always wear uniforms. But make no mistake: they are enforcers, too.

    They are the watchers.

    Some sit behind computer screens in air-conditioned rooms, eyes scanning footage from traffic cameras, street corners, public protests. Others work in fusion centers—those hybrid institutions blending federal and local intelligence—monitoring not just criminal activity, but social media posts, political sentiments, and the subtle rumblings of dissent.

    They track what we say, what we search, what we click, and who we follow. They are trained to detect “threat indicators”—and increasingly, those indicators are not weapons, but words.

    Then there are the content moderators and algorithmic gatekeepers, many of them contracted by massive tech firms or shadowy subsidiaries.

    These aren’t cartoon villains rubbing their hands together. They’re often young people too—working gig-style jobs to sift through flagged content and silence “problematic” voices.

    Sometimes, that means filtering out hate and abuse. But sometimes, it means erasing inconvenient truths, deplatforming dissent, or promoting the approved narrative of the moment.

    They are the digital deputies of the enforcement machine.

    And they’re joined by another layer: the ideological informants—self-appointed enforcers of correctness on both sides of the political spectrum. People radicalized by algorithms into believing that their tribal loyalty is a sacred mission.

    They mass-report users, harass contrarians, build bot networks, and weaponize shame. They aren’t paid by the state, but they serve its function: to police deviation and fortify digital conformity.

    All of these watchers—whether paid contractors or ideological crusaders—serve the same role: to reinforce the structure. To surveil, to report, to suppress. They don’t need guns to control a population. They have data.

    This is why the modern Enforcement Class is so insidious. It’s not just about boots on the ground—it’s also about eyes in the sky and fingers on the feed. The architecture of enforcement has gone virtual. In the past, authoritarianism relied on fear of the knock at the door.

    Today, it relies on fear of the disappearing post, the frozen account, the cancelled payment, the AI that flags your words and alerts someone in a windowless building you’ll never see.

    It is a bureaucratized, digitized, gamified matrix of suppression—and most of the people operating it don’t even realize the role they play. To them, they’re just doing a job. Just “keeping the platform safe.” Just “following guidelines.” But those guidelines are written by the ruling class. And those platforms, increasingly, are the modern public square.

    The Enforcement Class does not wear a single face.
    It watches from towers and terminals.
    It patrols the streets and the servers.
    It silences with force and with code.

    And if we don’t understand how deep that enforcement runs, we will never know that we are actually imprisoned – or how to truly break free.

      Very well thought out and put down. American machismo is nothing new. Back in the 20’s gangsters were glorified in films. Then during WWII the War Department (Department of Defense) collaborated with Hollywood to make pro war propaganda movies to help raise enlistments. Then things kind of lagged until our loss in Vietnam. After the war enlistments and re-enlistments were at historic lows. Then along came John Rambo, Jack Reacher, Jason Bourne, American Sniper and every other hypermasculine nonsense movie ever made in efforts to again boost recruitment levels. Law Enforcement saw very similar ebbs and flows generally mirroring those of the militaries (peace/wartime status)and also deeply affected by Hollywood propaganda about tough guy cops who single handedly save the planet like Die Hard, SWAT, Speed etc.
      Thanks for sharing your perspective.

      This article hits hard—and it should. It lays out what a lot of people feel but haven’t been able to fully explain: there’s a new class forming in America, not the wealthy elite and not the working poor, but an “Enforcement Class” being built to shield the rich from the rest of us. It’s not just police and border agents—it’s also tech workers, digital moderators, private security, and even unpaid ideological enforcers online. People desperate for stability are being handed uniforms, badges, and scripts—and told their enemy is anyone pushing back: immigrants, journalists, protesters, the poor, the marginalized.

      What makes this so dangerous is that most of these people think they’re the good guys. They’re not driven by ideology as much as fear, loneliness, or economic survival. In exchange for food, housing, and a sense of purpose, they enforce the system that keeps everyone else down.

      And this isn’t some far-off dystopia. It’s happening now. And just like in history—whether it was companies making the gas for Nazi death camps, napalm for Vietnam, or the billion-dollar detention industry today—there are always those who profit from human suffering. The machinery of cruelty is always good business for someone.

      The scariest part? Most of these “enforcers” don’t even realize they’re part of it. They’re just “doing their jobs,” clicking the buttons, flagging the posts, following the orders. But that’s how it works. That’s how systems of control grow—quietly, bureaucratically, until one day, resistance is no longer an option.

      This article is a wake-up call. The enforcement isn’t coming. It’s already here.

      It might make a good book, or possibly a movie script. Lots of violent movies our there already though.

      Why is there a rise in this “class”? Maybe a rise in people ignoring laws, all the way to the top of government. When you have congressmen lying to Congress, a felony, and no consequences, kind of opens the door.

      A manipulation of the law twisted like a pretzel creating 34 felonies out of 34 misdemeanors that were past statute of limitations, a real estate deal that was standard practice where no one was injured etc. and other examples, that s a green flag.

      When we see Mayorkas testifying the boarder is “closed” while a split screen shows thousands crossing at Eagle Pass, that’s a green light. Why isn’t he in jail?

      When the past President said he was going to forgive student loans – the Supreme Court of the United States it was unconstitutional, and he did it anyway. So why do I need to obey laws?

      We watch illegal alien criminals being released almost immediately in sanctuary cities, in total disregard to the safety of the citizens. Many very serious crimes.

      We had a president – the last four years that was obvious to anyone with one eye and a few brain cells that he was not in control – from campaign through the entire 4 years. And boy are the “tell all books” rolling off the presses. When the President says a policy he in implementing will probably be overturned by the Supreme Court, and does it anyway, an example is set.

      We now know we had a shadow government – and we better find out who was running things.

      MS 13 gangs, Tren de Atagua setting up shop all over the country plus the lone actors. 2 MILLION got a ways, don’t know who they are or where they are.

      We have an estimated 390,000 undocumented Chinese immigrants living in the US. What’s up with that? Part of the money flowing from the CCP to the Biden Crime Family? Plenty of dummy companies and shell operations already uncovered.

      And what’s up with the $35.2 million ($10 million in since 2020) for the IRS Criminal Investigation Division for ammo and military weapons? What, we don’t have law enforcement agencies?

      The problem is we do not have consequences for actions. Well what do you expect. We all keep hearing we are a nation of laws – and yes we are, but we are now a nation of selective enforcement. The pendulum is going to have to swing back. And that’s going to take a heightened enforcement process before people start to see consequences.

      A new Sheriff in Town.

      You know, kind of like the border. May 2025 0 (ZERO) illegals released int the US. May 2024, 62,000.

      So buckle up folks – enforcement that DID NOT HAPPEN is going TO HAPPEN until people understand that we have laws and NOW they are going to enforced.

      Deal with it.

        There you go again with your made up bullshit! Biden never ever declared open borders-

        President Biden has not declared the southern border open to any and all migrants.
        Instead, his administration has implemented various policies and actions aimed at managing the flow of migrants and addressing the situation at the southern border, including:
        Restrictions on asylum: On June 4, 2024, President Biden signed an executive order to temporarily suspend and limit the entry of certain migrants and asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border when the average daily number of migrant encounters in a week reaches 2,500 or more. This action restricts access to asylum for most migrants crossing without authorization.
        Legal pathways and enforcement: The administration has also encouraged legal pathways for immigration, such as utilizing the CBP One mobile application for scheduling asylum appointments, while also strengthening border security measures and increasing deportations.
        Increased expulsions: Under the Biden administration, there has been a significant increase in expulsions of migrants at the southern border, with millions removed or expelled.
        It is important to note that these actions are part of a broader approach to border management and do not reflect an “open border” policy. While some have criticized these policies, others, including the President himself, have stated that they are necessary to manage the current situation and maintain control of the border.

        Trump intervened when Congress was going to fund a massive border security bill just so he could control the narrative. That’s in and of itself did massive damage to border security funding at all levels. Where’s your hysteria about that?

        Also his illegal unconstitutional deportations may continue but each and every single one of them are being contested in courts. So that is taking up enormous amounts of time/man hours and enormous sums of money. And yet you are ok with that wasteful spending so long as it is directed at the people you elected Trump to hurt most- minorities!

        “When the past President said he was going to forgive student loans – the Supreme Court of the United States it was unconstitutional, and he did it anyway. So why do I need to obey laws?“

        No, once again you are dismally misinformed and ignorant to the facts but that of course is by choice-

        The Biden administration has not ignored the Supreme Court’s ruling on student loan forgiveness.
        Here’s a breakdown of what happened:
        Original Plan Blocked: In June 2023, the Supreme Court struck down President Biden’s original plan for broad student loan forgiveness, ruling that it lacked legal authority.
        Focus on Existing Programs: Following the ruling, the administration shifted its focus to using existing mechanisms and programs to provide student loan relief.
        Targeted Forgiveness and the SAVE Plan: These efforts include:
        Targeted Forgiveness: Providing relief through programs like Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) and existing income-driven repayment plans.
        SAVE Plan: Implementing the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, which offers lower monthly payments and earlier loan forgiveness for some borrowers.
        Continued Legal Challenges: While the Biden administration has been successful in forgiving debt through these existing programs, some of these actions have faced legal challenges, with some aspects of the SAVE plan being temporarily blocked by courts.
        In summary:
        The Biden administration respected the Supreme Court’s ruling by stopping the original, broader forgiveness plan.
        They are now working to provide student loan relief through other avenues and existing programs, though these efforts continue to face legal challenges.

        The most reasonable comment I’ve heard in a long time. The people raging about the current state of affairs are a bunch of sore losers. They lost and now they’re whining about everything that the rest of the country voted for. I’ve never heard so much anger and vitriol towards any person that doesn’t agree with them. They call us haters? If they think this is the way to change things, they’ve got another thing coming. I see conservatives digging in their heels, just because they’re sick of the left spewing hate and lies.

        We didn’t like anything about the Biden crime family. Many of us were censored for shedding light on the truth. There’s so much proof that 2020 was rigged. It was painfully obvious that the Big Man had lost it. Why don’t conservatives protest? They’re too busy going to work to support their families. Besides, look how many non-violent people were thrown in the slammer for going in a building their tax money paid for? I didn’t see any of them having fun watching cars burn! I didn’t see anyone break up the sidewalk to use as a weapon or block traffic on a major freeway.

        What a joke that you’re still bringing up J6! That was peaceful protesting! One cop died of a heart attack days after J6 and an innocent patriot was murdered in cold blood, by a dumbass cop who had recently left his firearm in a public restroom. Maybe if you say it 100 more times it will become true! “Those insurrectionists were the worse of the worst!” Who decided that adding a bunch of undercover FBI to spur on the crowd and give them a tour of the chambers, was a good idea? You know the protesters were unarmed? Why did Congress have to be evacuated? Were they afraid that everyone would find out the truth about the election? Or that the rigged election would never get certified?

        How can people not see the hypocrisy?

        Angry people and paid professional rioters in the streets of LA, NYC, Portland and many more Cities are burning, looting, blocking traffic, throwing Molotov cocktails and shooting huge fireworks at law enforcement all in the name of democracy, is a riot, an insurrection and not peaceful!!

        And speaking of democracy, you all know we’re a constitutional republic. A democracy is when 3 men and 1 woman get in an elevator. Well the 3 men vote to rape her, and the majority wins! Pretty sure no one thinks that’s ok! And noodle on this one…you guys voted for a president that didn’t get a single primary vote! How is that democracy?

        It’s easier to lie to people than convince them they’re being lied to.

        Most of the time I avoid .biz because I get sick of reading JB’s ugly name calling rants and his cohorts doing much of the same.

        My grandpa always said “ No one knew how dumb the donkey was until he brayed!” hee haw, hee haw!

        So suck it up buttercup, you losers get to live another 3.5 years with the current administration, the one that most of the people in the country were begging to clean up the corruption, deport “ILLEGAL” aliens, stop funding NGO’s and the department of education, stop sending social security to dead people et al.

          So many lies and disinformation to pick apart with facts and truth! So here goes snowflake-

I see conservatives digging in their heels, just because they’re sick of the left spewing hate and lies.

          ONLY THING People are sore about losing is our DEMOCRACY (Yes we were a DEMOCRATIC country until Trump) and the CONSTITUTIONAL Rights most Americans accepted and abided by until Trump!

          We didn’t like anything about the Biden crime family. Many of us were censored for shedding light on the truth. There’s so much proof that 2020 was rigged.

I didn’t see anyone break up the sidewalk to use as a weapon or block traffic on a major freeway.

          Biden Crime Family is what The TRUMP CRIME FAMILY calls the Biden’s I. Order to deflect from their own numerous Felony Crimes to include Treason and Insurrection! Joe Biden was not charged with any crimes despite MAGA’s paying two Ukrainian ex pats to lie about Biden only to turn on those MAGA CRIMINALS and confess they had lied! There is ZERO proof that the 2020 election was rigged except by Trump and his FAKE SLATE of ELECTORS – Mr. 10 million Mike Lindell! If it was rigged present your proof! The only proof you can come up with is bullshit propaganda from MAGA/Russian news parodies!

          “What a joke that you’re still bringing up J6! That was peaceful protesting! One cop died of a heart attack days after J6 and an innocent patriot was murdered in cold blood, by a dumbass cop who had recently left his firearm in a public restroom.

Or that the rigged election would never get certified?”

          Peaceful protest? Guess the live images of people assaulting officers en mass, constructing a gallows, breaking windows, forcing their way through barricades and barricaded doors (only to be shot right in the face for being a direct threat to members of Congress), bear spray, a cop being smashed by a MAGA mob in a security door to the capitol building are all just everyone’s imagination huh? You must have been a used lemon car salesman because you’re trying to sell one to us and it won’t work Mr President! I say it is TRUE that J6 was a Treasonous Insurrection by a VIOLENT MAGA MOB Trump and his CRIMINAL Cronies Instigated 100% on live TV!

          “How can people not see the hypocrisy?”

          Because the only hypocrisy is coming from MAGA sycophants! We all (including Faux News anchors Brett Beir and Sean Hannity admitted it was a VIOLENT assault on the Capitol) saw the VIOLENT INSURRECTION

          “Angry people and paid professional rioters in the streets of LA, NYC, Portland and many more Cities are burning, looting, blocking traffic, throwing Molotov cocktails and shooting huge fireworks at law enforcement all in the name of democracy, is a riot, an insurrection and not peaceful!!”

          Where’s your proof that people were paid to be professional rioters other than Kyle Rittenhouse and other MAGA White Nationalists and Anarchist who took to the streets to start shit, shoot unarmed people and burn buildings so that it appeared that the largely peaceful BLM Marches protesting MURDER and BRUTALITY at the hands of Law Enforcement Officers sworn to Serve and Protect not Kill and Brutalize!

          “And speaking of democracy, you all know we’re a constitutional republic. A democracy is when 3 men and 1 woman get in an elevator. Well the 3 men vote to rape her, and the majority wins! Pretty sure no one thinks that’s ok! And noodle on this one…you guys voted for a president that didn’t get a single primary vote! How is that democracy?”

          Obviously you are a deeply disturbed MAGA zealot who can’t see the forest for the trees! The United States most definitely was a Democracy as well as a Republic until MAGA decided we didn’t need a Democracy anymore. Of course you would imagine that Democracy equals 3 men raping one woman. Easy to leap from Trumps Felony Sex Crimes and Pu$$y grabbing to creating an ignorant example of what a Democracy is. We have elections because we are a Democracy not because we are just a Republic. Republic is just another name for Country or Nation and has zilch to do with what type of country we are. America has LONG LONG been deemed The Beacon of Democracy to the Free World up until Trump. Now we are a White Nationalists Demagoguery and Authoritarian Republic ! Nothing more Nothing less!

          “It’s easier to lie to people than convince them they’re being lied to.”

          Yes Goebels if you say a lie enough times people will believe it as truth! That’s EXACTLY what Criminal Felon Insurrectionist Trump has done and continues to do at the behest of his private Goebels- Stephan Miller!

          “Most of the time I avoid .biz because I get sick of reading JB’s ugly name calling rants and his cohorts doing much of the same.”

          Aww you don’t like me calling Trump the exact same vile disgusting things he calls everyone all the time? Too bad it hurts you so when people say exactly what he in fact is! You are definitely a SNOWFLAKE!

          “My grandpa always said “ No one knew how dumb the donkey was until he brayed!” hee haw, hee haw!”

          Ever think that he was likely referring to you?

          “So suck it up buttercup, you losers get to live another 3.5 years with the current administration, the one that most of the people in the country were begging to clean up the corruption, deport “ILLEGAL” aliens, stop funding NGO’s and the department of education, stop sending social security to dead people et al.”

          Too damned funny! An Administration led by a Draft Dodging, Twice Impeached, 34 Count Felon was elected to “clean up the corruption, deport “ILLEGAL” aliens, stop funding NGO’s and the department of education, stop sending social security to dead people et al.” It is CRIMINAL to deport people without Due Process under the Constitution, It is illegal for a POTUS to violate the Emoluments Clause-

          Foreign Emoluments Clause:
          This clause prohibits federal officials, including the President, from accepting any “present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State” without the consent of Congress.
          Domestic Emoluments Clause:
          This clause restricts the President from receiving any other “Emolument from the United States, or any of them” besides their designated salary.
          Purpose:
          The Emoluments Clauses are intended to prevent foreign or domestic entities from influencing government officials through financial means, ensuring their loyalty remains with the United States and its people.

          And yet Don Don is wheeling and dealing his Resorts, Bitcoin and Cheap China Made Trump merchandise with Foreign Governments and his constituents. A CLEAR VIOLATION of the Clause!

          When you stop LYING and Promoting Propaganda people might be willing to have a civil conversation with you! Until then guess you’re gonna have to force yourself to accept that EVERYONE on here has the RIGHT to FREEDOM of SPEECH and your misinformation WILL be Called Out!

          You might have 3 more years to defend your Criminal POTUS and his lies but after that there’s the very REAL POSSIBILITY that Trump and all of his cronies finally face REAL Judges in REAL Courts who don’t grant unfettered immunity to anyone because NOBODY is Above the Law especially an Elected PUBLIC SERVANT!

          You are always welcome to stick with Biased MAGA led Nextdoor where the First Amendment does not exist!

          Uphold the law? LOL, now that is a two way street isnt it!

          So scooping up Americans, deporting them for no reason? Not being to be heard in court in front of a judge?….. Innocent till proven guilty sound familiar?
          How about masked men with no signs or badges tackling Americans, then beat them, to find out they actually are Americans.
          You know as of now coming into this country is a misdemeanor dont you? Like jaywalking, or a speeding ticket.
          Now I thought you people voted for MS-13 gang members rounded up? So why did Trump stop farm and hotel workers from being picked up? Oh that right he changed his mind again.

          We have checks and balances, and rule of law. To bad we really are not following it now, are we?

          We have 3.5 years of hell to go, that part you are correct. You should be worried no matter your race, color, or creed! Mark my words!

            Mr Dave,
            the Criminal POTUS and his Criminal Administration have everyone of weak mind believing everything Trump says and does is “the bestest” “greatest” “bigliest” and “legal”. While he/they call EVERYONE else including themselves when they fall from MAGA sycophancy grace “losers” Dumb” “horse faced” “stupid” “ugly” “fat” “suckers” “libtards” etc. Everyone else who gets charged with a crime goes through the legal process of having “their Miranda Rights read them” “the right to have an attorney present” ”the right to remain silent” etc. While Trump and MAGA “pay to delay justice” “slander judges” “make idle threats against judges, clerks and jury members” “claim the same legal proceedings everybody else indicted of a crime is somehow a “witch hunt “ “two tiered Justice biased against them and only them” They demand to be held un accountable and immune from prosecution when committing the crimes other people go to prison for a long period of time for look at our State’s Elected Officials who have recently been caught breaking the law while operating a motor vehicle only to either claim or be granted immunity because they like the police and waste disposal personnel are “public servants” who of all people should be held even more accountable when breaking the law because they do know better. In MAGA world money talks especially when getting someone to ignore the law(s), or precedent of them. Money buys them fealty, teams of pro bono attorneys, the ability to shop for Judges etc. Everything and everyone else are second class in every sense of the words and do face a two tiered justice system where they are only as innocent as they can afford to be! That’s where we are as a nation. Money buys elections, Money buys Judges, Money buys Media attention and Money means immunity for those who have much of it that is!
            It’s like the old Oranges and Lemons Poem of the days of yore (Mr Hall you’ll surely find this an amusing reverie of your youth-

            Oranges and lemons,
            Say the bells of St. Clement’s.

            You owe me five farthings,
            Say the bells of St. Martin’s.

            When will you pay me?
            Say the bells of Old Bailey.

            When I grow rich,
            Say the bells of Shoreditch.

            When will that be?
            Say the bells of Stepney.

            I do not know,
            Says the great bell of Bow.

            Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
            And here comes a chopper to chop off your head! Chip chop chippity chop all the men are dead.

            It was partially featured in Orwells 1984 and the SuperTramp song and album by the same name Brother Where You Bound. All of it has deep significance in the Alternative Facts MAGAVERSE.

          Yes it’s time to uphold the law! We must uphold the laws governing sex crimes, documents theft, business fraud, tax evasion, treason, insurrection, police brutality, defiance of the courts and law starting wars without Congressional Approval! Let’s get started today! You do want to uphold the law don’t you? Well the law used to apply to everyone including the President of the United States up until a corrupt SCOTUS granted immunity to the first convicted felon and insurrectionist President ever! So yeah let’s uphold the law! All laws! For EVERYONE especially those we elect to serve us not to do private big money business deals, play golf, lie and violate them! And let’s hold those lying SCOTUS judges accountable for their lies under oath and the crimes they have openly allowed Trump to commit that they would never ever have allowed any Democratic or Independent POTUS to do because it is Wrong just as you are about everything you regurgitated from your MAGA propaganda outlet.

          You wouldn’t know the truth if it was a 15 lb bowling ball dropped upon your head from a 10 story window. Everything word you wrote has been debunked as disinformation, propaganda and lies. That’s exactly what bullies do. They attempt to bully everyone into believing their bullshite and when they don’t fall in line with their lies and propaganda they call people names or deflect from the truth by saying others are committing the crimes they have and do. Bunch of Lilly Livered Wankers is what everyone in MAGA is only they refuse to acknowledge that fact.

          Did you stay up all night creating that story full of BS and propaganda? If you did you should have spent the time to fact check yourself because every single thing you have claimed is false and has long been disproven. You elected a Convicted Felon who doesn’t know anything other than how to rip people off and lie through his teeth (much like you do and have) while breaking law after law! You need to go ask for a meeting with the DC and Capitol police from 6 January 2021 and tell them to their faces that they are all liars and that the violence perpetrated against them by MAGA Insurrectionist is all lies! Bet you don’t walk out of that meeting if you happen to be foolish enough to request and get one. Be sure to tell them up front what you want to do too! Good luck now- Dumbass!

      “A manipulation of the law twisted like a pretzel creating 34 felonies out of 34 misdemeanors that were past statute of limitations, a real estate deal that was standard practice where no one was injured etc. and other examples, that s a green flag.”

      Wrong! They are legitimate charges that a JURY of HIS peers convicted him of for sex Crimes committed and a hush money payment made to a porn Star that HE had Sex with out of wedlock. He got away with his financial and Insurrectionist crimes because a corrupt SCOTUS declared HIM immune from prosecution for HIS Crimes and because the FBI/DOJ reluctantly abided by a long term policy not to indict politicians during elections. That’s the only reason his Lying Grifting Criminal ass isn’t sitting in prison right now!

      “So buckle up folks – enforcement that DID NOT HAPPEN is going TO HAPPEN until people understand that we have laws and NOW they are going to enforced.

      Deal with it.”

      Remember your exact words whenever Trump is out of office again and finally faces real Justice by real Judges not bought and paid for lying corrupt ones!

      “When we see Mayorkas testifying the boarder is “closed” while a split screen shows thousands crossing at Eagle Pass, that’s a green light. Why isn’t he in jail?”

      You obviously lack great understanding of how our borders work and the concentric rings of security people have to go through to defeat it. We also have pop up border security stations that open and operate at various unannounced times, DHD/CBP patrols everywhere within hundreds of miles of the borders. And BTW- that bi partisan Congressional budget for the border Trump took a big dump on would have funded a whole host of hi tech surveillance and tracking systems for the borders. But his big head and ego had the bill poo pooed out of arrogance and ignorance. Why wasn’t he charged with interfering with Government and Congressional proceedings designed to enhance border security? Seems like a reasonable thing to have happen to someone who wasn’t even in office at the time. But you make excuses for the things he whines and cries about getting caught red handed doing and claim all of the indictments against him from numerous state and Circuit Courts and attack others who weren’t despite his and MAGA’s best efforts to create them like the Burisma bullshite that never panned out because it was all lies created by MAGA and two corrupt lying witnesses who confessed under oath to lying.

      You really ought to fact check yourself prior to regurgitating propaganda and lies mate!

      “Deal with it”

      That’s exactly what the protesters are doing just like MAGA claims it was while assaulting the US Capitol building and Law Enforcement protecting it!

      “And speaking of democracy, you all know we’re a constitutional republic. A democracy is when 3 men and 1 woman get in an elevator. Well the 3 men vote to rape her, and the majority wins! Pretty sure no one thinks that’s ok! And noodle on this one…you guys voted for a president that didn’t get a single primary vote! How is that democracy?“

      The United States is/was considered a Democratic Republic despite having become a Despotic Republic just like the following so called “Republic’s”-

      Examples of Countries with Despotic Tendencies within a Republican Structure:
      Russia:
      While Russia is officially a republic, its political system under Vladimir Putin has been described as authoritarian, with limited political opposition and restrictions on freedom of speech.
      China:
      China is a one-party state, with the Communist Party holding ultimate power, and despite some economic reforms, political dissent is suppressed.
      Kazakhstan:
      Kazakhstan is another example where a republic structure exists, but the president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, has been criticized for authoritarian practices and suppression of political opposition.
      Turkey:
      Turkey, officially a republic, has seen a shift towards authoritarianism under President Erdoğan, with increasing control over the media and judiciary.
      Zimbabwe:
      Zimbabwe is a republic, but its government has been criticized for human rights abuses and suppression of political opposition.
      Key Characteristics of Despot Republics:
      Nominal Republic:
      They maintain the outward appearance of a republic, with elections, constitutions, and other democratic institutions.
      Concentrated Power:
      In practice, power is concentrated in the hands of a single individual or a small group, often bypassing or undermining the republic’s institutions.
      Suppression of Dissent:
      Political opposition, independent media, and civil society are often suppressed or restricted.
      Lack of Accountability:
      There is limited accountability for those in power, and corruption and abuse of power are often widespread.
      Important Considerations:
      Not all republics are democracies:
      While republics are often associated with democratic ideals, many republics are not democratic, and some can exhibit despotic tendencies.
      Evolving political landscapes:
      The degree to which a republic is democratic or despotic can fluctuate over time, and some republics may shift between these two extremes.
      The term “despot republic” is not a formal political science term:
      It’s a descriptive term used to highlight the tension between republican ideals and authoritarian practices in certain countries as is the case currently in America.

      Denying we are a Democracy is just a MAGA excuse to violate laws and the Constitution without any non Partisan Judicial oversight or review. So keep making uninformed excuses and we’ll keep correcting you!

      “Most of the time I avoid .biz because I get sick of reading JB’s ugly name calling rants and his cohorts doing much of the same”

      My so called ugly name calling pales significantly in comparison to your idols record of ugly name calling rants and you and your cohorts do exactly the same but think the 1st Amendment Freedom of Speech is only applicable to MAGA sycophants. Otherwise you get called a hater for doing exactly what MAGA does. I mostly use labels that come from historical record of fact vs name calling. But when King Trump or any of his followers does it I let them have it right back and thus they whine and cry calling foul on truth and fact.

      The 15 most offensive things that have come out of Trump’s mouth
      While claiming to ‘cherish women’ and to be the ‘least racist person,’ Trump has offered up some shocking comments.

    There is a movement happening in the A.I. universe that few are talking about but soon almost everyone that uses it, will. People are moving beyond using their A.I. as tools for research, writing, editing, etc. and are now beginning to use their A.I.s for other things, like advice, conversation and even counseling.
