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.
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.
Oh, we’re not laughing.
I’m Canadian and I’m quivering in fear
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 no no, you misunderstand.
You must also be rich and white. It’s not political to lock up poor or minority political candidates, even if they aren’t criminals.
Laughing is the wrong word. The world has lost all respect for us. But also, most Americans have lost all respect for their government as well.
Nah, the dems are complicit. Anyone with 2 neurons to rub together saw this coming. The reason they didnt prosecute is because theyre busy trying to find ways to secure themselves in the new regime, not antagonise the new god-leader. The Dems are straight up evil, only differentiated from the fascists by the fact that theyre too scared to actually do anything impactful.
I’m not sure how this is the dems fault, but okay.
Trump is hitler stupid, and it’s the dems fault.
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.
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.
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.

Judge Juan Merchan deserves even more of the blame. His dereliction of duty, brazen favoritism and special treatment of Trump has directly resulted in all of this terror. When the loiusettes are erected, he should face them alongside the fascists he empowered.
And people are going to die because of this incompetence
I don’t think there was enough evidence to pin anything insurrection related on Trump specifically.

They could have nailed him on inciting a riot
The defence would just quote this
I’m not arguing Trumps intention. I’m just saying that proving insurrection is not an open and shut case.

Civil war is looming more and more everyday. If I was American I’d be so scared and angry right now.
Looming? It’s already happening. National Guards have invaded blue cities.
I’m Canadian and I’m scared. I have little faith the American people will successfully revolt. Who would lead?
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).
They’ll time it for 2026 if they’re ready. They can’t let Dems have an ounce of power to preserve democracy
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.
I don’t think they’d abandon their program if Trump kicks the bucket. This is bigger than him. If the right loses power during this mandate, they may not regain it for a long time and they may not be able to criminalize the left to the point of preventing an FDR 2.0 being elected in the near future.
Did anyone else see that weird interview on CNN with Steven Miller clamming up à la Mitch McConnell after he mentioned that Trump would have “plenary authority” i.e. dictatorial powers?
Unless I’m mistaken, plenary authority is granted to the president when the Insurrection Act is invoked.
So… Is this an attempt to push that through quickly now that the cat is out of the bag?
Their incompetence is as mindboggling as how they are getting away with it.
“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”
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.
That movie “Civil war” was very optimistic in hindsight
And that’s how the 2025 US Civil War will begin.
Americans won’t do shit (they are currently being fucked and are cheering this on). You are delusional.
Depends on which state, hence civil war between blue and red states
Still won’t happen. The child rapist in chief has done many shitty things -in general- but recently to the american people and their constitution yet fuck all, FUCK ALL, has been done to him or his Gestapo cronies. Fuck all…except a, haha, ‘protest’ a few months ago.
If they can’t do more then go outside once every few months to wave a few signs and have a nice stroll then a civil war will never happen.
It just won’t happen. It won’t. Most are obviously too lazy, too complacent, too scared to lose their mollycoddled way of life to put any effort in. Well, other than tut about it on the internet. And maybe make a meme about it. Possibly throw in a few "See, we told you this would happen"s along the way. The demented geriatric tangerine is the usa’s new king and almost no one has the spine to do anything about it.Some Americans aren’t as excited as you are to engage in the bloodiest civil war yet seen that would likely drag the world into ww3.
You definitely need to be more dramatic and about all these fairytales of americans actually standing up to the orange buffoon.
Anyways, tell me, why will the world get dragged in to ww3 (lol, as if) because of a civil war that will never happen?
Insurrection act invocation = pedo king gets hanged
The irrational behaviour of ICE and the deployment of national guards is clearly setting up to agitate and provoke the ordinary Americans into drawing first blood to justify invoking the Insurrection act. Don’t fall for this my American brothers and sisters. You don’t want to be the Southerners this time who attacked Fort Sumter.
“first blood”
To the Trump admin it won’t matter if the reason to invoke it is real or fake. The federal government is corrupt to the core and using the shutdown to prevent congress from losing the MAGA majority until the insurrection clause is invoked. There is no ideal solution, it’s just that if you aim for the king, you best not miss.
The MAGA base is not suddenly going to be turned around and convinced unless you are able to puncture their Sinclair echo chambers, the federal is increasingly going to deny funding to Democratic states, SCOTUS is still going to overturn any impediments federal judges try to throw at Trump, ICE is still going to be ignoring any and all laws since they know they get to eat pardon cake if it ever becomes an issue, ICE is still going to get the biggest slice of the federal budget … “Drawing first blood”, you lose. Hoping a system rotten to the core in all three branches of government turns around and becomes semifunctional when no matter what you will still have Republicans and MAGA at the end of whatever solution comes up, you don’t lose, but at a cost that’s going to be comparable or greater than losing.
Someone should do it.
Biden. Too late, but at least we gave a shitload of money to big construction companies.
Tell me you want a General Strike without telling me you want a General Strike.
Epstein files, you say?
