  • Hosts debate the consistency of commentators who raise these alarms while simultaneously seeking engagement with the administration they critique.
  • The deployment of armed National Guard in DC raises fears of spontaneous conflict that the administration might exploit as pretext for broader crackdowns.

I can see Saagar saying this is never going to happen as they throw him in jail, too.... The level of denial is immense.

Saagar laughing it off again. He hasn't learned his lesson yet. What are you going to do Saagar when your friend JD is part of the coup?

Saagar being somewhat cavalier about the slow-moving coup. This is no joke.
