These fucks want to cosplay as soldiers, have them set up 10 man tents in a campground and bunk in.. I spent many a night in cold ass Germany, in snow, in either a pup or a 10 man, did some time in Idaho in a tent on a mountain too.

You wanna act the part, then go all in; MREs, sleeping bags and canteen showers..

Fuck them…

that could very well happen, either that or they'll be 4 to a bed at a No Tell Moeel because the owner is thrilled to rent rooms for whole weeks instead of by the hour----cuts down on laundry.

Besides, if they want to put the Gestapo into tent cities, they'll have to clean out the homeless people from all the prime spots. And yes, the homeless are the most likely target for them next. There is always a "next" for fascists.

sleep in their vehicles. We slept in our fighting holes sometimes in the rain or snow with our ponchos as roofs.

Maybe all hotels should lock their doors if they can possibly stand the financial hit.

they best be making and bringing their own lunches with them daily. Otherwise, there may be a lot more than spit in any dine in or take out orders they eat.

They can set up a homeless encampment out in the woods. Cosplay nordic war games with each other.

They got their own vehicles they can sleep in... not much for privacy....

I am sure icicles will hang from their body heat in the vehicles... since using the gas to stay warm 24/7 is waste of money in DOGE.

He'll say it's so dangerous in the twin cities that businesses are closing down.

And maybe instead of buying a new jet for Noem they should have bought RVs for the goon squad.

Be a real shame if many/some/all/most of the Gestapo come down with frostbite.

Frostbite is frozen tissue - imagine sticking your hand into your refrigerator freezer for a few hours and it comes out with the fingers frozen. Those fingers are dead and as they warm, they turn black and the flesh rots. In a normal situation the fingers, toes, nose, whatever would be surgically amputated.

Be a damn shame if some/all/many/most of these asshole wind up losing fingers, toes, nose.

This really brings it home. Think of how much it’s costing us to lodge thousands of these pricks when they go on their little fascist cosplay invasions.

STOP THE INSANITY!!

The felon has reportedly mobilized 3,000 federal agents to the state of Minnesota – a force that now outnumbers the Minneapolis police force five to one.
