June 14th may well be a breaking point

[Pototan]

No Kings demonstrations around America I believe will be a situation that allows Trump to declare martial law. The declaration in LA does not specify a city but gives Trump broad authority to use federalized National Guard and other Federal troops anywhere in the United States.

It will be only a small step to invoke the Insurrection Act. suspend Hablas Corpus and take full authoritarian powers.

I hope I'm mistaken but I may very well be correct.

1. anwar sadat threw a military parade to glorify himself. how did that work out?

[Lovie777]

2. I'm not watching that shit...........

but will follow the protest.

5. That parade

Of military weaponry needs to make all left hand turns and surround the seats occupied by trump, all his billionaires guest and his cabinet of cultist traitors. Surround them then arrest every fucking one of them.
Fuck due process. Try them, then use the stated penalties in the constitution they ALL, including military, swore to uphold. Then sing Happy Birthday, 250 years to America, not that far ass enemy of the nation.
Just simple birthday wish.

6. My OP refers only to the protests

[msongs]

3. btw June 14 is Flag Day. Wave em high

[Ocelot II]

4. Maybe, but I think it will break the other way.

Huge protests will embolden more of us. The Kent State massacre didn't scare anyone away from protesting; it provoked more protests.

[Pototan]

7. Oh, I agree

the protests will be huge. I think that Trump will use that as an excuse to overreact.

[Ocelot II]

8. No matter what he does, there are exponentially more of us

than there are of his goons. They can't arrest or shoot all of us.

[Pototan]

9. I'm just saying that June 14th

will be a flash point.

[Bread and Circuses]

10. We all expect TACO to attempt military action against us....

We know it will be in Blue states. I’m in NORCAL and more and more people will be out on the sidewalks on June 14th

11. I don't think June 14th will be violent except a few isolated spots. No excuse.

The difference between June 7 and June 14 is that June 7 in LA had a big reaction to ICE abductions.

June 14 is a day of generalized protest, planned well in advance. Many people will attend and about 99.99% have no interest in violence.

There will not be enough violence for tRump to have even a flimsy excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act. If he tried it would be seen through in an instant and would backfire on him. Even some maga would be against it. If 75% of the country is against invocation and 25% for, it will not succeed. It would lead to strong calls for impeachment and Vance and the cabinet would mutter about the 25th Amendment and might even act. I think even tRump can figure this out.

Even if the Voughts and Millers and Bonginos in the Executive like to think they can bullshit their way through massive overreach (they do like to think that way, hence the "shock and awe" blitz of Executive Orders) ... even so they will see that they can't bullshit their way into the appearance of an insurrection. Not without 90% of the public knowing it is bullshit because they will go to work Monday June 16 knowing there wasn't a big nationwide riot on Saturday.

Bullshit is self-limiting.
