    Garland, “Why do you keep asking me about Trump? This is all perfectly reasonable Republican speech. Now if a Democrat did it, they would never see the light of day again, but that’s just the way the law works”

  2. If you don’t vote for Kamala Harris everyone you care about is going to be put in a concentration camp and tortured until they die.

  3. This is the bright red line that only aspiring dictators cross. When they threaten to use the forces that are meant to defend us to enslave us. That’s why this exists:

    “The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.”

    This is how you let the general walk into Rome.

    I am fucking terrified about this whole damn election. Every single day, my bafflement increases at how Trump can continue to spew such terrifying threats and hatred and STILL HAVE SUCH A LARGE FOLLOWING?!?🤯😵

  5. Anyone remember when he tried to arm the national guard with literal BAYONETS during the protests? 

    Insane man. Imagine what this man would do to Americans if just-barely-more-honorable people didn’t stop him. 

  6. Make no mistake…this old man has the most diseased mind in the country and he’s about to be sent back to the White House because of the utter ineptitude of our American media.

    They want him back. ALL OF THEM. Because his train wreck of existence feeds their bottom line.

    Sure our democratic republic is on the precipice of destruction we don’t care…we want viewers and listeners.

    Believe me our European allies are watching in horror as we go down this road again.

    It’s sickening to watch it happen again.

  7. He said he’d use the military on “radical leftists”. Fuckin’ vote! Talk to your friends and family – everyone you can while you still can

    Fuck him. Fuck his fans. He’s going to prison and I’m throwing a rager that night. Y’all are invited.

  9. He just wrote the latest Harris ad.

    This is why Trump can’t be reelected. Whether you’re Liz Cheney or AOC, whether you’re for pro-Palestine or grocery prices are your #1 issue, there’s nothing more important than maintaining a civil and democratic country that respects the rule of law and constitution.

  10. There’s a new documentary out called “War Game” where some former military people and former White House people gamed out what a coup would look like if part of the military decided to follow Trump. It’s pure nightmare fuel.

  11. “There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”

    -William Adama

    Good thing Americans have been protecting that 2nd amendment. This is what y’all have been keeping it in your back pocket for right? To fight a tyrannical government.

    Except the military owes their allegiance to the Constitution, not the president. He can’t send out army guys to kill or hurt people who said bad things about him, no matter what he thinks he’s going to do.

  14. Trump is the enemy from within.. end he’s currently has 83 felony charges against him and he’s still managed to run for president..

    When he loses, it’s time to do what we should have done on January 7, 2021. Prompt trial, prompt execution, Nuremberg tribunal for the enablers.

  16. That’s gonna be a weird conversation.

    Trump: I want you to take out the enemies within our country.

    Army: What?!

    Trump: You heard me. I want you to eliminate the enemies of the US, that are part of the US. Bring them down.

    Army: Are you sure?

    Trump: Absolut…*blam*

    Army: What now?
