Upon His Emergence from the White (House) Bunker

1. Can you spell B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T. S.P.E.W. Ladies and gentlemen?

[ancianita]

2. It's way more serious than bullshit, I'm afraid.

There is the distinct use of force ahead. And only the governors can mediate that force.

He has called American protestors terrorists. What you heard is tyranny.

Bullshit doesn't even approach what he wants to do, imo.

[Guilded Lilly]

3. Agree. This has been serious tyranny against our nation since the day of...

the election. All I have to fight off my chilling fear are angry words right now.
I simply don’t know what else to personally do.

[ancianita]

4. I hear you. He's warning the governors that he still has martial law power to use if they don't

do what he "suggests" they do.

[PNW-Dem]

5. Please explain to me

how he can mobilize the US Military against US citizens? It's against the Posse Comitatus Act. In theory, he can circumvent it, but I doubt that it can be done quickly. When he loses the election, can the same be done to quell his idiot followers?

[Pachamama]

6. Look up the Defense Act of 2007

It made important scary changes to both the Insurrection Act and the Posse Comitatus laws...


OMFG....I’m shaking and feel sick to my stomach.

[ancianita]

7. He's warning that he will do it if the governors don't, by declaring martial law. Remember, he

cares not at all for rule of law except to use in the smashing of democratic government and institutions.

He'll be competing against governors who have some control over their national guards.

If he moves to order the US military into Democratic cities and other "terrorist" strongholds, what attorney general is there to stop him? Will the Joint Chiefs refuse to carry out his orders under martial law? We'll see.

About your Posse Comitatus Act reference ... again, when has he ever respected rule of law? Say he declares martial law. If the House wants to act on this, I don't think that any Posse Comitatus impeachment case -- he'll probably laugh about how the House will waste time on that -- even if fast tracked, will be productive, except to include in the Congressional Record; because we know it's not getting past this Republican Senate.

The issue, imo, is martial law and his going after Democratic blue states, so he can show his base just what a real tough manly president looks like.

Just my layman's opinion.

8. The one thing those tanks will do is bring out the vote in November. The tanks will be ...

gone for months by then, but the memory most assuredly will not.

He doesn't have a peaceful calm bone in his pathetic body. He's not a war President, he's not a peace President: he's no President at all.

[ancianita]

9. Tanks? Where are the tanks?

[marble falls]

10. Do you think he wasn't threatening tanks in DC? He said he was going to ring in "heavily ...

armed" regular army.

This is what the Army's new armored troop carrier looks like.

Here's what its replacing:



The average citizen does not know the line between this and a tank.

[ancianita]

11. Right now, no tanks, the national Guard is on phalanx marching through Atlanta protesters and police

are arresting the protesters.

Police snipers are on San Diego rooftops.

They won't need tanks if the National Guards work with police to paralyze mayors' and governors' attempts to allow protesting and the national police problem that black Americans have.

[marble falls]

12. There will be "heavily armed" regular troops in DC if he's good for his word ...

can you imagine him claiming he restored "peace" in his campaign ads using footage of US troops on US streets???

[ancianita]

13. Imagine? I know he'll use ALL of this in his campaign. We all have to know he will.
