Of all the Trump ‘scandals’ that the media has dug up, this one is the most revealing.
Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases – The Atlantic
How dare they! Moving onto military bases? I wonder why they might be doing that. Probably for the luxurious lifestyles, the high-class dining and the exciting nightlife.
“Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public.”
You’re not supposed to “protest” against people in their homes. And yet the Left began that vile practice, defended it and kept it up, especially targeting Supreme Court justices in their homes. A leftist tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh.
But sure, how dare Trump officials move themselves and their families out of reach of ‘protest’.
Adria Lawrence, an associate professor of international studies and political science at Johns Hopkins University, told us that housing political advisers on bases sends a problematic message. “In a robust democracy, what you want is the military to be for the defense of the country as a whole and not just one party,” Lawrence told us.
Maybe stop trying to murder and terrorize members of that party? As The Atlantic article admits, people aren’t moving to army bases because of the luxurious living.
Some of those homes, designed for three- and four-star generals, lack sufficient bedrooms for families with young children. Many have lead-abatement issues and require significant repair.
But they’ll be missing out on a “diverse mix of voters”.
The isolation of living on a military base, at least for civilians, has also created a deeper division between Trump’s advisers and the metropolitan area where they govern. Trump-administration officials, who regularly mock the nation’s capital as a crime-ridden hellscape, now find themselves in a protected bubble, even farther removed from the city’s daily rhythms. And they are even less likely to encounter a diverse mix of voters—in their neighborhoods, on their playgrounds, in their favorite date-night haunts.
Really? A diverse mix of voters in D.C.? A place that Dems win by 90+%
Government officials obviously should not have to live on a military base and we should not have a situation where radical leftists are targeting anyone’s kids.
Both Hegseth’s predecessor, Lloyd Austin, and Austin’s State Department counterpart, Antony Blinken, faced protesters at their northern-Virginia homes, which were not on bases. Gaza protesters who set up camp outside Blinken’s house, where he lived with his young children, spattered fake blood on cars as they passed by.
Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity—ANUFH, pronounced, they say, enough—has organized protests near the homes of Miller and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought… “Will we let him live in our community in peace while he TERRORIZES children and families? Not a chance,” ANUFH captioned one Instagram post in July that shows a photograph of the Millers and their children.
This shouldn’t be happening to Miller, it shouldn’t be happening to Blink or anyone period. And until there are serious consequences for harassing people in their homes, whether they’re government officials or anyone, that’s not going to change.
The issue, as with most crime, terrorism and violence, is whether we’re locking up the victims or the perpetrators.
Having government officials reduced to living in military bases is locking up the victims. It’s time to start locking up the perpetrators.
The M.S. Media have become the Nation top propagandists to the leftists scum suckers and bottom feeders and enemy Bootlickers
The hunted politicians may consider also having a joint “public-access” (non-secure) residence – where they don’t really live, but for the purpose of arresting and prosecuting / deporting those who break the law – any law, even disturbance of the peace for loud protests. Call it what you will – an ICE trap, premotive terror-cancelling strategy, etc.. “YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT DURING PROTESTS, AND IF NOT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST FROM YOUR JAIL CELL”.
Biden and Kamala were plan A & B, once it became clear they could not defeat Trump in a fair election, assassination became their plan C. I am not sure they had much of a plan other than that, but they have since recovered and are again scheming. Losing on every front, a campaign of assassinations is the best the democrats can come up with.
Well, we do have to have secure areas, free from leftist terrorists, like walled cities used to be. We somehow forgot about the need for security when our population was well-behaved.
We have that in Oklahoma. Every other person is armed. You can get cute at your own risk.
Yes, when I lived in Palm Springs, there was an entire city in the area that was walled off and had security guards. Desert Hot Springs, I think. It was based around their private golf course. My great uncle and aunt lived there back when they were still alive. It was a very nice place. I bet they slept snugly at night.
Shit. My mother and me had to go through a security check just to get in there. I bet it’s still a great place.
Do these idiots not know that Republicans are likely to get insulted and terrorized and threatened in their “favorite date-night haunts?”
