    Sadly, invoking the insurrection act without an insurrection could create the need for an actual insurrection. He’s just praying for someone to start murdering his gestapo so that he can justify a violent crackdown.

    The hard part is resisting the urge to fight wanton violence with wanton violence.

      If he can declare an insurrection without an insurrection, he can justify a violent crackdown without protesters being violent.

        Imo at this point it doesn’t matter. He’s gonna do whatever the fuck he wants whether Congress, the Senate, or even the Supreme Court tell him otherwise.

        Shit’s been hitting the fan for a while, it just hasn’t gotten to a full spray yet, but it’s about to. We need to get this shit over with and rip the bandaid off.
