This right here is Trump's ultimate goal: staying in power
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"

Hey @marcelias.bsky.social... I'm curious. Since anyone could put on an ICE uniform (including J6 thugs) & since they are abducting people off the street while getting paid bonuses for everyone they grab, would this qualify for prosecution for human trafficking & violation of the RICO act??
