"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

This is the inevitable outcome when you only recruit the dickless wonders that were found sitting around their local bars still talking about that time they almost made the game winning catch senior year.

Stunted, little men playing army while attacking those who peacefully honor the 1st amendment.

What began as a routine investigation became a propaganda gift...proof that caution without courage is a weapon aimed at yourself. Arctic Frost isn’t the scandal...it’s the mirror.👇

Sadly, those of us paying attention can see the writing on the walls. Legitimate elections are a thing of the past while this cancer still festers.

The only reason that Trump is allowed to personally profit from the White House and break laws is because of Pam Bondi. She is the most corrupt AG we have seen in our lifetimes.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

No Portland, Chicago, or San Francisco business should be feeding trump's troops. If they need to eat, they can heat up an MRE.

I understand the military goes where commanded but civilians don't need to support #trump 's domestic terrorism.
