Talk inside the White House about invoking the act has ebbed and flowed since Trump took office again in January, said the five people, who include the senior administration official, two people familiar with the discussions and two people close to the White House.
But the debate inside the administration has shifted recently, from whether it makes sense to invoke the act to more deeply exploring how and when it might be invoked, both people close to the White House said.
“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”
I honestly don’t know what they’re waiting for
That movie “Civil war” was very optimistic in hindsight
Insurrectionist traitor skirts punishment for treason against the United States, becomes president. Again ffs. And proceeds to invoke the Insurrection Act as a prelude to implementing martial law and becoming a full fledged dictator.
All because the Dems didn’t want to “seem political”. Mmmmkay.
The world is laughing at us.
Because the Dems are just the same billionaires but in blue.
Why don’t all criminals just run for office? They can’t be sentenced then, that would seem political
Oh, we’re not laughing.
I’m Canadian and I’m quivering in fear
I’m not sure how this is the dems fault, but okay.
Trump is hitler stupid, and it’s the dems fault.
There is no low the Republicans can stoop to that won’t result Murc’s Law being a thing.
The Republicans could be at the shoving people onto trains phase and there will still be a certain type of individual trying to blame the Democrats for not stopping the Republicans…
If a gang of criminals is causing trouble all over town and nothing is being done to stop them, I’m gonna be mad at the criminals and also mad at police, prosecutors, and judges for not doing their job and stopping these people
One reason it’s the Dems fault …
They should’ve forced Biden to stick to the one term and immediately supported and pushed Harris as the candidate.
Because the Dems allowed open treason to fester. Trump literally should have been executed for crimes against the state.
Instead he was let off with zero repercussions and allowed to pardon the insurrectionist mob. Terrible consequences have ensued and will continue on.
The Dems put ‘decorum’ before sanity. The DOJ in the new admin should have gone hard after Trump and his henchmen on January 21 2021.
The White House expects that any potential invocation of the act would be met with swift legal challenges and ultimately land at the Supreme Court.
So, an unsigned 6-3.
This gives me such revolutionary war vibes. The “fathers of the revolution” were not revolutionist, they did not want independence from Britain, but wanted thier legal rights upheld. The monarchy feared what they might do and so sent soldiers after them labeling them as revolutionist. Thier message then became one agianst the monarchy, tensions continued to escalate and well, revolution.
There is not an insurrection, there is not armies of rebels fighting to bring down the federal govermemt… but start a war agianst people and eventually they will stert defending themselves, then we will have a war.
Civil war is looming more and more everyday. If I was American I’d be so scared and angry right now.
I’m Canadian and I’m scared. I have little faith the American people will successfully revolt. Who would lead?
Looming? It’s already happening. National Guards have invaded blue cities.
I’m pretty sure Trump is going to use it by 2028 or just before it, in a prelude to declaring martial law. Right now they are trying to escalate conflicts in order to have justification. When they don’t have it, I assume there will be false-flag operation to trigger one (see January 6th).
There’s absolutely no way he lives to 2028.
From your lips to god’s ears my friend.
That reminds me, where the fuck you at god? You’re just gonna let this bullshit continue?
The gods abandoned mankind long ago. We are only looked after by the weavers of fate, oh how they loathe us.
They’ll time it for 2026 if they’re ready. They can’t let Dems have an ounce of power to preserve democracy
Epstein files, you say?
he’s scared of a damn frog.
