  1. This statement alone should be enough for all Americans not to support Donald Trump on Election Day.

  2. Trump really didn’t like most of the generals during his term because they refused to follow any of his wacky illegal orders.

  3. >Donald Trump declared on Sunday that the way to ensure the 2024 election goes smoothly is to have the United States military used against “people from within” the country whom he has identified as “bad” and “sick”—like California representative Adam Schiff and other “radical-left lunatics.” That should be a deeply shocking, five-alarm statement for the FBI to look into, but in a society that’s experienced eight-plus years of this kind of rhetoric, it barely registers as a blip on the “shit Donald Trump recently said” meter.

    >Speaking to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, the GOP nominee for president said that when it comes to potential chaos on Election Day, “the bigger problem” is “the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and [are destroying] our country…I don’t think they’re the problem in terms of Election Day. I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people; we have some sick people, radical-left lunatics. And it should be very easily handled, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”

    Please vote

  4. Just gonna put this here so the military can identify me: I will never support a violent, hateful, criminal, rapist, psychopathic liar to lead the country. He can go straight to hell without passing GO.

    Trump can ‘want’ until the cows come home. He isn’t the fucking president, and he won’t be up to and including election day.

  6. I would have refused any order to treat American citizens as enemy combatants, taken the Article 15, and gone to Leavenworth.

    * Isn’t Biden still in charge unti Jan. ~~26~~ 20th, 2025?
    * Hasn’t SCOTUS basically given the current president a get out of jail FREE card for official acts?

    Sounds to me like Biden is the only one in a position to evoke a National Emergency over a (2nd) insurrection attempt.

  8. The same people who were so offended by players kneeling during the anthem, citing “disrespect of the military….why are they so quiet right now? That classless act at Arlington and now this. Where’s that same love of the military now?

    Conservatives: “Oh, well he doesn’t really mean that.”

    Sane and rational people: “Then why the fuck did he say it?  And didn’t you vote for him because he says it like it is and he means what he says?”

    Don Old is not the Commander in Chief.
    So his threats carry as much weight as a wet diaper.

    Vote Blue!

    Fuck that stupid orange dipshit.

    Donate blue, volunteer blue, and enthusiastically vote blue with friends! Do all you can to flush this turd again.

    I kinda want to know how he thinks HE is in charge of the military this Election Day.

    I mean, he has no say right now, so if they were to mobilize I would think it would be to stop red districts from having voter intimidation in swing states just to piss him off.

    My uncle is a sheriff’s deputy who has been in the Army Reserve for about 34 years. The dude is a Trump supporter who posts weekly pro-Trump news on his Facebook feed. He recently posted this news, and I was relieved to see that he is against this action. Looks like there is a sliver of morality and adherence to the Constitution among Trumpers.

  14. Come get it! Fuck DJT you hitler loving human trash!

    FYI for all the MAGA morons. This is why the second amendment’s exists. Bring it on

  15. I_like_dwagons on

    I would like the military to escort him to his final campaign stop in Guantanamo Bay.

  16. It’s probably a good thing he has no power over the US military for this election.

    I doubt there will ever be another presidential election if he wins, so it’s a moot point

  17. shadowofpurple on

    and that right there is EXACTLY why this fucking scumbag should never ever be president

  18. Well his militia minions have caused FEMA workers to pull back because they were being threatened by the militia idiots.

  19. Main-Algae-1064 on

    And I want the military used on people who don’t accept the outcome of the election. Rawr!

  20. I’m in the military. And I’ll say it straight up…..I will refuse this type of order. And I will turn it around and say “This is a blatantly illegal order. It cannot be carried out and the one giving that order needs to be held accountable.”

    Contrary to belief, military members do not have to follow orders that go against laws and/or the Constitution. We have regulations that literally state that.

  21. You have to love that Trump is calling Harris a communist, then he says the stuff of fascist dictators.

  22. That statement alone should disqualify him from ever being voted for by any American that claims to love America. Because if you like that statement you don’t love America you love a dictator.

  23. I will not be intimidated into voting for someone who views fear as synonymous with power.

  24. relytbackwards on

    Let’s all remember this when there’s political violence all around the US on and after election day. It all started with trump!

  25. Why are the Republicans supporting this candidate? They should have pushed him out along time ago. What does Trump have on these Republicans? He is a bad human experiencing mental decline.

  26. SpellConnect8675 on

    Just fucking arrest him already. I swear the DOJ, CIA, FBI and New York State are all fucking PUSSIES. AREEST TRUMP FUCKING NOW!!!

  27. Pauly-wallnuts on

    Just like Hitler’s fascism in the 1930’s that eventually resulted in the death of 6,000,000 innocent men women and children. DON’T give the orange turd the opportunity to let history repeat itself

  28. “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.”
