Veterans resign as force established as civilian disaster relief becomes ‘militaristic’ and ‘abusive’
“I don’t even think the governor knows what’s going on. I don’t think this is a fly on his radar right now,” Newhouse said, noting that DeSantis is a former navy lieutenant.
“Oh I’m afraid that the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive”
DeSantis knows exactly what’s going on.
He’s not an idiot; he’s a fascist. He knows what he’s doing and it’s all deliberate.
@Col3814444 Using Trump’s playbook, except organized rather than stochastic. Pure fascism to create this private paramilitary force. He’s been working on this for a long time.
it was a “military organization”, he said, that will be used for “aiding law enforcement with riots and illegal immigration”.
The whole time I was reading this, I was wondering how the fuck any of this is legal, and this passage answers my question perfectly: it’s not. The constitution explicitly says that the military is never to be used for policing purposes, because the founding fathers were terrified of this exact kind of overreach happening as a result. This is the same as if the Third Amendment somehow became relevant again in modern times. That’s why they branded the militia as “disaster relief,” for the same reason as Fox News is branded as “entertainment” and not news media; they know this would never hold up against the law.
State guard isn’t related to national guard at all. They’re not military they’re cosplayers. Paramilitant? Absolutely
this is honestly even worse because they arent beholden to the constitution then
Oh yeah. Way worse.
They’re coup-coup for fascist-puffs!
Not surprised at all… nor am I surprised that the spineless legislature let him do it We need to unelect this bonehead from any and all positions of authority he might ever actually dream of having.
