Pototan

June 14th may well be a breaking point [View all]

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.
