source accurately called the order "something that would happen in Soviet Union" because trump is sniveling Russian-mob property and minions contorted themselves to support his worldview
context: trump was desperate to stay out of prison and shore up fake-strongman bona fides so 2020 kicked off with whacking Soleimani https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-real-backstory-of-why-trump-ordered-the-killing-of-suleimani-is-becoming-more-clear
lordy there are text messages
Soleimani is important context cuz dominionist-nutbags Pence & Pompeo pushed know-nothing trump to assassinate him
garbage-shitposter Politico called Pompeo "trump's shadow SecDef" which is evidence that, yes, myriad cooks were in the kitchen https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/06/trumps-shadow-secretary-defense-pompeo-095191

illegal order against California protestors was stopped but another got through a few months later; remember this? https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2020/06/02/helicopter-protest-dc/
both CA & D.C. National Guard incidents nearly identical Putin-style operations; weird right?
other contributing factors: Garfield Anus has documented seething hatred of California *and* a military fetish
bad combination

pulling back to 33K feet: illegal orders in CA & DC—in addition to killing Soleimani—was early 2020 preamble for eventual Pentagon destruction and installing Kash Patel in like 7 places
which in turn created "precedent" (lack of better term) for 6 Jan violent insurrection

CODA: how terrible is Kash Patel to run afoul of Gina Haspel's ethics? THIS is trump's diseased, criminal culture right here https://www.axios.com/kash-patel-cia-gina-haspel-757b92c0-82a5-457b-bde8-d0d683ee222e.html
CODA 2: with a h/t to @lummoxacillin if the Flynns both Charles & Mike conspired for donald (you'll recall Army lied about Charles repeatedly) it'd explain a lot https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/21/army-inexplicably-creates-mountain-suspicion-handling-michael-flynns-brother/
