    the first scapegoat.

    I kinda suspect that the administration was told or it was heavily suggested by higher ups in the military that “yeah…if you go with this insurrection act we’re not going to have your backs on this one.” Otherwise why would they be throwing Bovino under the bus for this?

    What has happened thus far is apparently what they wanted according to project 25 but like I said I suspect they don’t have the support of the people they NEED the support from.

      It would be nothing short of miraculous if that plan falls through just because it became wildly unpopular. This brings two things to mind:

      1. It would explain why there’s a phased rollout of worse and worse policy with a lot of improv along the way. Otherwise, all this shit would “just happen” inside the first year.

      2. It’s not hard to imagine these asswipes acting in a retaliatory manner for not getting their way. But what’s worse is to imagine a failing MAGA or P2025 cabal “going for broke” if it appears they’re all but finished, should we get there. IMO, we should all be prepared for both.
