The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Martin Longman, aka BooMan, lays out what happened in Germany and how it is happening here.

progresspond.com - How the secret police take control

Today, the top person in DC is U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who is about as committed a MAGA member as you can find. She’s backed up by top people at the FBI like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino and at the Department of Justice by attorney general Pam Bondi. These latter-day Nazis are ready to seize control of internal security in the nation’s capital in the service of their latter-day Führer.

They can take control of DC because it’s already largely under federal control, but it’s a model for how they’d like to take control of the whole country. What stands in their way is state sovereignty, but this isn’t tightly guarded in states where MAGA is already in control, and it isn’t being rigorously protected by the reactionary Supreme Court either.

What this means is that we have little protection against the Gestapofication of the country. The Secret Police are going to become a fact of life for the left, and for supporters of representative government and the Constitution.
