    Can you imagine how the right would react if this was done by a dem president? They may have actually started a civil war over it.

        Jade Helm, back in '14/'15 was a massive military training exercise across the Southwest. We’d been saber rattling across North Africa and the Middle East for ages, so this was larger than normal but not inconsistent with US foreign policy. Just another day in the paradise of the imperial core.

        But Republican influencers and spokesdorks jumped on it as an actual invasion of the territory being practiced over. Then several of the state governors chimed in, demanding that Obama halt his occupation of their states. We had a big rash of “Should Texas be allowed to secede?!” discourse. Obama issued an apology or some dumb shit. Republicans declared victory. Yadda yadda.

      Mate, your civil war has already begun. Most of you don’t realize it yet though, but you will soon enough.

        Minor correction.

        It never ended. It just went cold in 1865.

        For so long every accusation has been an a confession. Somehow I completely missed that Trump is a secret Muslim.
