This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.
Don’t get worried, don’t be afraid. Take action to protect yourselves and your loved ones and plan an exit strategy.
"Turn the American people against them" hmmm are you sure
Grunts - I'm voting for Trump who didn't start pointless wars! Trump - You are assigned to house-to-house searches and raids, security duty on detainee bus convoys, stringing wire, digging latrines, and guarding camps. God Bless America, loser.
He wants to find out which servicemen will be loyal to him and not the constitution. So he is prepared for the takeover in four years.
The leopard is eating good.
Makes those bilingual ACLU "know your rights" fliers from 8 years ago seem so quaint.
I agree.
Once they start, they won’t stop.
Once he declares a "national emergency", and activates the military domestically, who's going to make him dial it back? Nobody.
Yeah, but, Republicans have abandoned the very idea of principle. Now that they were able to sucker voters into giving them unchecked power, all bets are off.
Everyone knows or strongly suspect that this kind of shit is in the works... People elected just that...
So then is your 2nd amendment not so bad at al...
The 2nd Amendment was not written to fight the government. That's a bullshit right wing talking point. It was written to control slaves. The south was worried they couldn't put down a slave rebellion without guns and local militias.
Of course, but that right wing talking point can turn on them. Otoh, they probably come up with something to 'fix' that.
They are going to suspend Constitutional rights, such as the 2nd amendment, to round up their Undesirables, and take guns from anyone who they see as an enemy. And the NRA will cheer it on.
As long as they own the libs they don’t care what freedoms they’ll lose. trump, in their eyes can never do any wrong. He’s a man of the people, not an elitist like Harris… 🙄
However it started, how will people neutralize maga extremists in the crowds? Maga will be armed. You cannot stand up to armed right wing individuals with posters.
Why engage with such a comment?
Of course then no one will have any vegetables or get waited on in a restaurant or get a ton of other things done that MAGA lazy rotten people think is beneath them. It’s ok inflation will hit 20% so none of these clowns will have any money anyway … MAGA = morons against America will
I hope the military knows their oath is to Americans and the constitution, not a dictator.
Latino men voted for Trump. They will soon enter the FO phase.
Too late....?
as will Arab-Americans
The ones who voted for him will not care about the ones who are deported. They see themselves as different from them, and better.
It’s cute that they think a driver’s license will keep them safe. A racist cop can easily toss the Latino’s wallet into the woods after a routines traffic stop, and that Latino for Trump will be judged solely by the color of his skin.
They won’t care until it happens to them.
Someone, if deported, will understand. Others don't. They'll put the blame on Harris. Smart people.
Many didn't vote for him. Unfortunately we will all struggle or worse under his doctrine. But let's not forget that many more Euro Americans, men and women, voted for him. The FO part will hurt us all.
All of us not born into obscene wealth will suffer. But some will suffer more than others, my brothers and sisters in the black and brown communities will suffer disproportionately. And for that, I am truly and genuinely sorry.
The extreme conservative movement doesn't want to acknowledge we're all on the same boat, and when they "poke holes to drown" the opposition, they will end up hurting themselves, too. Tides change, sooner or later.
Yep, sadly this looks very much like it’s the beginning of the end of America as we know it.
I want to see President Biden grant amnesty for all undocumented immigrants except those who have committed unrelated crimes.
47 would just rescind it. It's not like he cares about following the law.
I know, but he should still do it.
Weakening our military by removing leadership is his goal.
If they want to deport me, I hope they do it before May. That way I'll save $900 on renewing my green card.
Anyone thought of protesting with your investments? What if a big chunk of 70+ million “Harris voting” private investors pulled out of corporate stocks & put into cash, pretty much at the same time?..say around Jan. 21?? (Like the X to #bluesky approach.) Show the Oligarchs, people still have power.
Absolutely horrifying. 🥺
www.history.com/news/operati...
Always a gop undertaking-🙄 This reminds me of the final scene in "Giant" where Hudson gets his butt kicked by the racist TX cook when he tried to defend his Mexican grandchild. Like those of us who tried to vote against it.
Martial law has always been Dump's wet dream and this time his MAGAt cult is going to make sure it happens. When the democrat hunting and lynchings begin in the red states post inauguration, he'll use it as an excuse to declare martial law and bring in the military.
Trump stated this plan more than once, during his 2024 campaign. 💙🤬💙
And who didn’t see that coming 🤷♀️
He only promised it at every campaign stop. Lol
My favorite song😊gotta follow
It's a hard song talking about hard times that are coming. But it's very apt right now.
😢🤯😢🤯😢
The Dems and the media need to get out in front of this farce especially since border crossings are down and using the word “invasion” is just incendiary and wrong.
I don't think Trump will use our military, I think he will deputize private military to run the operation.
He will try to use the military. He needs the organization and equipment. A bunch of private clowns would take forever and fuck it all up.
Erik Prince's organization is willing and able to do the job. Don't be surprised if they've already been contacted by Trump.
Not on that scale. They can do high level action, but... it would take years for them to staff up and get the equipment for actions on this level. Assuming the scale will be what trump has discussed.
The only thing you can assume when it comes to Trump is that he will do whatever benefits him the most.
The militias will jump in for sure. In fact, here in AZ they already have.
So he only had a concept of a plan (as usual), so when in doubt, use the military.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up with sufficient resistance within the active force that must rely upon selective National Guard units from red states exclusively. Let’s see how that works in blue states. Either way, it’s a disaster in the making. Is this in fact where we are as a nation?
It'll all be fun and games until someone needs their lawn mowed, or their roof replaced or insert any low wage manual labor manpower job.
This is highly irrational.
You know the US military allows non-citizens into the service. I wonder if they will self deport or if they decide to continue.
And they will want us to pay taxes to fund a military used against us
Totally agree. Upon seeing a veteran: “Did you serve with the brownshirts rounding up immigrants for deportation?” “No.” “Thank you for your service.”
How much is the army going to resist this? i’d like to think the top generals are a bit smarter than Trunt.
I will bet my bottom dollar that Donald won't lift the emergency & keep the military on guard to suppress civilian protest. We have to be ready for that. youtube.com/live/9Zk-wac...
Yeah and if they don't lift it. We'll tbh it would give 1930 Germany. Most of the documentaries i seen of the time always had their military party (i belive called the brown shirts) always around.
He already met with the military for his plans
This. 💯
Military, para-military police. Same difference, you’re generally not allowed to have mass protests against government interests and get away with it in the US
Read 1984
This is literally the plot of the first three Star Wars prequels. The Emperor is given emergency powers because of a "threat" and never relinquishes them.
What's the national emergency btw?
Exactly.
😡😠🤬
Really? Stop giving the GOP credit in doing the right thing. They will not.
Don't think he's going to find corporation with the military. Them and us veterans are pissed right now. He can't court martial us all.
If WAR against ALL US MAGA unfollowers is what Trump really wants then I won't bet much on his future as President. All it takes is only one who knows how to perform😉 Fed up,nothing to lose, convinced it's his ultimate duty to do what must be done and that if he doesn't take action no one else will🫡
We also have a voice. We need to follow the legislation and flood our representatives with phone calls and emails. Let them know we don't approve. Make sure they don't get reelected. Let them know that.
He needs to be impeached.
you're misunderstanding what he's saying. He's saying that the "emergency" excuse that Trump will use to declare martial law to deport Hispanics won't go away and he'll use them against American citizens who want to protest. Against Democrats!
Against all of us.
True. Against anyone he chooses.
First he came for the migrants, then he came for.... We know how this story goes. We need to start sheltering the vulnerable in our community centers & places of faith. We need to take back messaging and not let tyranny be spun as "the rule of law." Organize, uplift new voices, no longer be silent
If they'd organize recounts in the 7 Battleground States, this wouldn't be an issue. Undervotes are 30-50 times more than other elections. And mail in ballots are lost of not counted after the election. Work on that and we'll see a different result. Otherwise? Save yourselves. No one else will.
Of - or
It’s an issue. MAGA doesn’t care. They just want war. That’s clearly apparent now.
No room for infighting. The comment wasn’t giving the gop credit. It’s part of the their plan. Maybe re-read it
No one is giving them credit for "doing the right thing." Nothing mentioned i. This thread is "the right thing."
Any protest will likely allow him to use the Insurrection Act to do just that. He has already made it fairly clear that is what he has planned.
Of course, if he can he will and we know he can!
I’m old enough to remember when Republicans thought that military personnel forcibly removing illegal immigrants was a bad thing.
Only when there's a Democrat in office
Never forget, members of the military, including its leaders, swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, not any individual, including the President. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice they are obliged to disobey orders that are illegal or unconstitutional.
At least half of Americans were ok with this and voted for the newly elected Felon in Chief. So when this has 2 and 3 order effects they should not complain. For the rest of us we believed him when he talked about this before the election. So this does not come as a surprise.
It does! Fox Lies played 24/7 at bases is going to be a problem.
It's already a problem.
It will turn all against the military. What Trump wants! Destroying USA per Putin. No other explanation makes sense! What does he have on him? One day we will find out.
He will use military to get rid of opposition! It will be National Emergency and he will abuse his powers.
Illegal immigration has been going on for decades. When businesses benefited from this pool of cheap (exploited) labor, there was no outcry. The population of illegal immigrants keeps growing and somehow now it's a problem.
If the military is in our streets doing this then I will consider myself an enemy of the military. I will call them baby killers I will call them enemies of this country. I will stop honoring veterans. If the military wants to be in our streets they won't be in our hearts
I sincerely hope the National Guard of blue states are ready. Shit could get real very very fast. Pack your go-bags.
Disturbing, as with everything about him.
The (unelected) traitor felon ordered his MAGA GOP cult members in Congress to block the bipartisan border bill so he could use our military to attack the country.
That's the plan.
A breath away from Marshall Law.
This is just part one. After trump has taken down the 14th amendment with the support of his judges and crooked party, the next target will be the First Amendment. He isn't a dictator if it's illegal to say he is.
YET this is what they voted for. NOT ME. Truly have no sympathy anymore, they made their bed now they must sleep in it. And if you think deportation is the worst of it your sadly mistaken
tbh, I'm tired of fighting for people who won't fight for themselves or their own family/community.
I think that is exactly the purpose
@adamkinzinger.bsky.social -- Do you think high-echelon brass will step up and call this out? It's total bullshit, and they are intimidating Americans with this unnecessary and dangerous rhetoric.
I’m worried about it hitting my own street. I’m a block away from some strawberry fields, and live in an agricultural area. My area is renowned for strawberries and has a yearly festival. I would never dream I would really have to worry about military marching down my street but here we are.
Terrified is precisely how he wants us to feel. I refuse to play into what he is trying to do. I'm going to figure out a more productive way to feel about it that addresses the seriousness of what he plans to do.
This whole situation has come about because of two men. Mitch McConnell who had the first shot at stopping him & failed. and Merrick Garland for NOT doing his job in a timely manner.
I have feared that he will enact the Insurrection Act, and we will be living under martial law on day one, as he indicated. I would like to believe I am over-reacting, but over-reacting is so 2016.
On brand.
This Atlantic article is from 2019 and even more urgent to read today. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
They about to find out how easy it was to get guns in the US. 20 million immigrants they say.
Sadly if they could find a way to legally use our military to shoot those crossing to death, they would. These ppl are sadists.
Remember in 2020 when unmarked "law enforcement" was detaining people? If someone was arrested, you didn't even know which agency to contact? Many were apparently DOC, so trained to handle prison populations. At least military should be clearly identified, I guess...
Until they aren’t clearly identified
I am terrified of every bit of what is coming
SOCIOPATH
And that is what they call martial law... wow... that's truly frightening!
I am terrified for everyone who is not a supporter of fascism
I believe the military would be used to combat the invasion permitted by the Biden Administration.
That's the point.
when military is not deployed outside, they have to be kept busy doing something inside with a sole aim to keep defence manufacturing well oiled and pampered
And hey if they sweep up a few blue voters along the way? All the better amirite? Whoo hoo Immigrants? No idea. Never seen any. What do they look like? You got a card? If I see any ill give you a call.
😱
Don’t forget how it will also weaken our defense from outside forces.
Martial law
It’s martial law
Will the US military become the enemy of the American people?
I don’t know ANY undocumented immigrants. Everyone repeat that.
Correct. Do not willfully put anyone in harm's way.
The sacred right to lie and to take foreign money for doing it shall not be infringed Democrats sat back and used Robert's rules of order when Mordor was at the gate. Joe biden's got one month to do some executive order stuff. But he won't.
Wouldn’t they need to be granted additional powers to detain ppl? I know the military frowns upon such expansion of powers, right?
I wonder who would have the power to do that through executive order and declaring martial law. The institutions are being bent.
I think it depends who has authority of the situation. They tried this the last time at the border when they sent troops there but the military top brass refused to accept expanded powers to be able to arrest people. The military doesn’t want to do things it shouldn’t be doing
Within the United States that is
The military we have known (and I have known it up close and personal). There is an ill wind blowing and I am hopeful there are enough inspiring officers and NCOs to do the right thing
I think we’re gonna see who holds real power. I’m praying it’s the pentagon. Any leader to be effective needs the support of whoever enforces the law of the land. Without the support of the military he’s got no teeth. It’s one of the few entities the first time that didn’t take his 💩
What concerns me is how hard he is going after the top brass at the Pentagon to replace them with loyalists. If that happens, things are going to go to hell in a handbasket very quickly.
We’ll know where things stand by 1/20. If they retire and get out of dodge, it’s bad. If they stay, they’re in for the fight and have a plan. There’s no way our best strategists get outmaneuvered by a bunch of half a**ed puds
I agree, but we are not dealing with believers in the Constitution or the law. They are pretty much opportunists looking to see what they can get away with. Until somebody actually stops them, they are just vigilantes.
Been saying that for 10 years already. They won’t stop until someone makes them stop. The fact neither he or anyone in or connected to politics has been held accountable for anything destroyed us
So far word count sucks. Nothing pithy expressed in snippets. Why I never wasted my time with Twitter/X
I've literally got a space in my attic cleared out ready to go.
When the Republicans allow Trump to declare a national emergency and end net neutrality to throttle internet speeds to progressive websites and information, we will need to get VPNs to go anonymous on the internet so our own Government can’t see what we’re doing. Scary times ahead.
Have been a VPN user since a hack a few years ago.
He’s then going to use the military against any protesters while still under declared national emergency. Scary Times!!
Against EVERYONE not just protesters
Wonder what they'll do when it's time to deport the non-US-born members of the military. Will they be expected to deport themselves?
In other words exactly what Trump and Bannon have wanted for 9 years
This is one hell of a series finale to America’s sitcom: the party who cloaked itself behind rhetoric such as freedom and democracy were the true authoritarians all along.
Something like that.
Yep, no real surprises there. I think a case can be made for the tendencies and mentalities being both basic to human nature throughout history, and in this country, to at least the Articles of Confederation. The real Civil War was fought to reestablish a Confederation, and won by the Unionists.
Trump wants to turn Chicago into wartime Baghdad, circa 2004.
There a decent strong sensible people running the military They will never follow trumps insanity He knows it too He will bluster and bullshit as usual However he will never directly challenge them Lose the military support and lose your power All leaders know that fact whether they like it or not
Those are the ones he wants to remove.
Why do you think he talks about hitler's generals? Personal oath to Tr - and they will not have a problem with order to shoot.
He plans to replace the military Generals.
Yeah And he planned to end the unkranian war in a day Putin has already stated trump had zero say in what happens there Trump says things that are 100 percent bs that his culture followers eat up while the rest of us know it's all lies The military will never follow trumps insanity
Not talking about Putin, and he has plans for military. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
The military is led by intelligent dedicated women and men who have literally dedicated their lives to defending the American constitution and democracy. His choice for defense secretary, a fox reporter shows total disrespect for the military as an institution. They will not follow his insanity
I appreciate your positivity...but 65% of military voted for this.
I refuse to believe that intelligence will not prevail May take some time but it It has to And yes I am being stubbornly optimistic
Most of the people involved are intelligent but they lack integrity. They are motivated by power and money.
I appreciate that. We need all the positive vibes we can get. Even if not all directed at the same place.
Fox reporter or not, he was an NG. That is an active and authorized arm of military for homeland defense (as opposed to vigilante militias). Every branch has its notions of just how "military" the others are. But by statute and code, they are all authentic US military agents.
If he is legitimate he will never agree to the military machine being used against anyone on American soil No matter what trump says
Yeah, well. . . There may be some issues with that.
Of course.
If he tries to replace generals with yesmen the rank and file won't accept it Military people are loyal to their commanders It's all bluff and posturing to satisfy his Hitler wannabes!!
I agree! Was in the Army for 24 years. Generals cannot be replaced by just anyone. Do they know how big and complicated our military is?! Not to mention, military members swear to the Constitution, not a person, and military folk, for the most part, take their swears very seriously!
Don't forget that Trump and Musk have history with migration. 🤔🤔
It’s called the Nation Guard dummy, kinda like what they do they Guard the Nation….
Trump calls it a "migrant invasion" when in actuality border crossings are down over 75% between 2022 & 2023. It's all gaslighting, an untrue narrative, so he can appear as a "savior" from a situation in which we do not need saving. Trump is a liar and his followers are dumb and gullible.
The cost and sheer logistics of such an operation are staggering. What's worse is that his deportation will remove millions of consumers, workers and taxpayers from the US economy. (They are NOT a drain on us as the lying GOP says. We are about to find out how much they contribute.)
Exactly, that's what makes me wonder how much he will actually do? These are red states that have a lot of them as major parts of the workforce of major sectors. Part of me thinks he will do some as a show... but it will be limited. The "Mexico wall" all over again.
What you say is true, but you're missing the point. It's not enough to say Trump doesn't care. He actually enjoys breaking all the rules and getting away with it. The question is, why do Americans keep enabling him? This is what makes me ashamed of my own country.
Because it hasn’t touched them yet - but it will.
Major General Charles Dunlap Jr. wrote an amazing piece of this risk in the style of dystopian fiction - I think it might have appeared in shortened form in the old Weeklly Standard scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcont...
If the military is sent onto our streets, searching for anyone, that cannot be walked back. It’s the end of the Constitution.
In theory, posse comitatus should torpedo this before it gets off the ground.
me, a service member, hoping that our leaders remember that our oath is to the constitution.
This has come down to pro civil war or pro revolution. Biden has unlimited powers now and he needs to protect the constitution by any means necessary.✌🏼💙
Yes indeed! This ‘not my president’ 🤡 said he would do this! Evidently ‘stupid, uninformed trump voters’ did not care and voted for this chaos & corruption anyway!🤬
Also a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act
Insurrection Act (252, 253)
The more that we do not immediately riot in the streets over this, the more it gives them the go ahead that we are willing to become used to it.
He won't be able to make the military turn on the people. However, they might turn on him.
Half of the American voters want this. Your neighbors want this. Your family wants this. This is what they want. We have to find a way to protect ourselves and those we love.
I truly don’t believe this is what they want. They don’t understand. They have blind trust. When he speaks, they don’t really listen. When you tell them or show them they say it’s lies. All they hear is that he’ll make USA great because they think he’s one of them and Fox and Newsmax supports him.
😡
I totally agree Fred Democracy’s do not do this dictatorships do
To hell with the Posse Comitatus Act
What shouldn't terrify us anymore? FFS
But he doesn't care. He just cares about himself.
It’s a fuckin show put on to distract us from what’s really going to happen. He will rob us blind. #FDT
Two words: posse comatatis www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
The movie Civil War was a little too real.
We really don't want one. What I fear is too many freelancers (militias, 3%ers, Proud Boys) in the mix. And other than a real military, I've not seen or heard of any with any sort of decent casualty response of their own. It could be a pretty wretched battlefield anywhere these guy show up.
Has anybody considered the very real threat to our national security when Trump is attacking our military leadership and has rank and file focused on conducting migrant roundup and putting down mass citizen demonstrations. Goes to war with NATO as Putin pushes past Ukraine?
The people he's picking for his cabinet are all national security threats as well. I have a feeling someone is going to take advantage of all this to start doing terrorist attacks again like 9/11
Or worse. My fear is the decapitation of flag rank commanding officers from the services who have decades of combat command and strategy education and experience. It would weaken the lethality and command function of all the branches.
I am sure that may have been part of the election quid pro quo the Ruskies informed Donnie about the other day.
The "Biden invasion" is a corruption of language with no connection to reality. Trump prevented the bipartisan bill. Military for domestic law enforcement? We knew it was coming but it still shocks the psyche.
Dominating another news cycle..
Which is exactly what Putin wants… He worked to get his puppet into office for this very purpose…
I am certain the Trump administration will overreach bigly and suffer the backlash they deserve.
That just never seems to happen.
I wish I had your optimism. History has it different.
I know. Trying to stay positive.
“Damage the institution” is the whole point. Conservative ideology has a strong need to destroy the things that make our country work.
This is the exact reason for the 2nd amendment.
I’m pretty sure the US military would be fine going up against any of the militias.
Yeah I agree, it's just so ironic this 2A crazy party wants to turn the military against the people.
It absolutely should. He will use the military on all of us. If we’re protesting. If we’re gathering. He will start with immigrants cuz there are ppl in this country who will have no problem with that thinking it won’t affect them. Til they gather for a work protest a demonstration. It’s scary
yeah it should, that's not what those powers are for
The really scary part is how many will simply "take orders"
Exactly. Tell him no friggin way. Does anyone in the government still have their balls? Now that Liz Cheney is gone, it’s questionable.
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.
And what happens if the US military decides that Trump is a Domestic Enemy? .
It might be illegal for me to say it. It might mean some high ranking officer sacrificing his career and possibly his life. I was in the draft lottery for the Vietnam Special Military Operation so I don't necessarily think highly of the military, but Domestic Enemy is simple.
Something weird happened here. That post disappeared and now it's back.
Brother, your Vietnam draft lottery perspective gives you moral authority here. You've seen through military BS before. When you say 'Domestic Enemy is simple' that's the oath talking. Thank you for still having the courage to speak it.
The irony is that Alex Jones used to scream about this happening during the Bush admin.
Let them let’s see how fast these people complain about the price of groceries now 🙄
Apparently it is the will of people...
Wow sounds like a good time. 🙄🥲😫😭
Trump wants to be a dictator. Hell! Remember, he said he needed generals like Hitler had.
No need to worry. Everything will be fine. This is all completely normal. Nothing at all to be concerned about. 👀
Deploying the military domestially for mass deportations requires a compliant Supreme Court to overturn or find exception to Posse Comitatus, and a military led by Trump loyalists. Neither of these things bode well for democracy.
Insurrection Act, 252-253.
I think we need to realize that NGs are not exactly the same as the Regular forces they augment. There are differences.
I don't see anything standing in their way
Sadly, you're correct. Checks and balances, separation of powers, all will be sacrificed on the altar of MAGA.
Thanks. I've been watching this garbage grow for a long time. I know the idiots I grew up with.
The amount of hate they have for other humans is astounding
Are they ever going to demand a hand recount on a couple of big counties in swing states Otherwise, enjoy the ride... ❤️🇨🇦
It definitely terrifies me!
Isn't that the goal?
💯 agree.
He promised all this. No surprises here.
Yes 😡
Why do you want your fears to be my fears?
The use of the military against the civil population is controlled by the Hayes Act. A President cannot use soldiers to control civilians. However the fear is that Trump will simply ignore the law with a tame Supreme Court plus a Republican Congress. How long before America has a "Dear Leader"?
Das Fuhrer Mein Trumpf
Ein Reich, ein Volk, ein FUHRER?
Exactly!
At that point the Joint Chiefs should immediately declare Donald Trump as unfit to serve and have him immediately removed from the Oval Office.
This seems familiar to something I learned in history class about a certain mustache man from Germany in the 1930’s
Yes. Right out of “Mein Kampf”. Berlin, 1933: “Oh don”t listen to him...he’s all talk”. Look what quickly happened.
12.5k likes is scary... unreal how peoples values changed for the mango mussolini
What really terrifies me is that he said he'd do it, we warned he do it, and America went, so what!
I wonder how all them Latinos for trump voters and all the Muslims who revenge-voted for trump feel about this?
They probably think he meant OTHER Latinos and Arabs, not them
Mo $$$ for private prison.
This terrifies me more than his other stupid ideas. I feel it will trun the military against itself. Those who will do whatever tfg wants and those who will uphold the oath they took.
He said he was going to use the military to go after US citizens
The time to stop Trump is over. I voted ALL Blue but so many more voted EVIL. What is more terrifying is the suspension of civil rights, law/order, and a police state.
It terrifies me and I'm not even American.
Hence his intent. If anyone thinks Trump wants in office to what's good for the country, think again.
*to do
Smells like National Martial Law, and like immigrants are just the beginning. This smells like when Hitler began rounding ppl up in WWII
"It's against the law. He won't be able to do this." Yeah, you know he owns both houses in Congress, right? It's the law until it's not.
AND SCOTUS.
A scar that won't heal.
brb, pricing hidden door bookshelves so we can provide safe haven...
At some point the generals will say no. But at which point.
What happened to Posse Comitatus?
There’s nothing we can do about any of this. Millions of Americans handed over our democracy on Election Day.
#ETTD
It should but it didn’t….this is what they voted for.
This is literally Nazi Germany all over again.
This makes my blood run cold. Fascist to its core & 100% based false pretenses.
Totally unnecessary.
Unconstitutional
Aclu will bring a case. This supreme court will almost certainly approve of it 5-4, as "emergency powers".
Can't. There is a law against fed military for local enforcement. Its a whole ass act.
Yeah, trump has never done anything illegal before.
This would be bigger than anything prior and would require congress to also violate law. Remember, they have long cushy jobs so long as they don't break laws. if they do, they can be removed. So, they would have to jeopardize their seat as well.
Who is removing them? Lol They have the congress. They have the supreme court. And of course, the executive.
Violation of acts is treason. as much red as there is.. one thing my family (who were politicians) taught me, a vote can always go either way, they're all trying to eat each other.
Is attacking the capitol treason to try and overtun an election? Lol
If a voted official was in the crowd the penalty on the list is death. however, no one would put forth the evidence and stand behind it that it was planned by republicans, so they didn't even get that much. our system isn't great, i'll give you that.
Several voted officials led the rallying cry and told them to go. They were there cheering it on, if that's not evidence, u suspect you eont find any for the military bingo used either. Lolol
The MAGAt felon ALREADY committed numerous acts of treason starting with Jan 6 you think declaring martial law and suspending the constitution would concern him?
