Trump is flirting with invoking the Insurrection Act, and when he says he ācan do something,ā he usually means he's GOING to do it. This week, Stephen Miller encouraged the fantasy of Trumpās so-called āplenary authorityā to deploy the National Guard in Chicago and Portland. At the same time, Kristi Noem floated an ICE expansion to ārestore order.ā Rick Wilson breaks down how Trumpās martial law threats, Millerās authoritarian fetish, and MAGAās open calls for arrests are all part of the same anti-democracy fever dream that's becoming more and more of a reality.

Horses of Saint Mark
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horses_of_Saint_Mark
The Horses of Saint Mark (Italian: Cavalli di San Marco), also known as the Triumphal Quadriga or the Horses of the Hippodrome of Constantinople, are a group of bronze statues of four horses that originally formed part of a monument depicting a quadriga ā a four-horse chariot used in chariot racing and Roman triumphs.
The horses were placed on the faƧade, on the loggia above the porch, of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, northern Italy, after the sack of Constantinople in 1204. They remained there until they were looted by Napoleon in 1797, but were returned in 1815. The original sculptures have since been moved indoors for conservation, with replicas now occupying their former position on the loggia.

Named for its tendency to "cross the Rubicon" by embarking on highly dangerous supply missions, the Rubicon is simply a one-of-a-kind ship. With five pulse engines and the most precise subspace drive you'll ever see, this blockade runner certainly has the power to get past any fleet in the cosmos.

I'm not dead! I have no excuse for my lack of activity these past few months, but have still been building nevertheless.
I actually build this MOC back in like July or August, the only thing keeping me from posting it was the fact that I couldn't decide on a name for it. I finally settled on one that I liked, and here we are! Tell me what you think! Comments and faves are greatly appreciated.
