    Haven't heard that slogan this week...

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Be grateful. Actually haven’t heard it much since September.

        I believe that President Elect Biden stated a while back (maybe September) that if he were president, that was not something he would at all support. Maybe that is why it has calmed down the calls for that.

          Well, I think even the dumbest members of the media and political class started to realize that it was a political liability.

            I heard a podcast about how this played out in Minnesota. (was that where this was?)

            City councilors all got swept up in the BLM rhetoric one by one (including defund the police). Supported it. Eventually found out none of their constituents wanted it (including black people), and slunk away from the idea.

              @xenon heard that podcast too. 👍

              Yes the November elections proved this is not a popular concept for voters.
