    The Mad King is losing his control and lashing out on the People.

    Trump says he could use Insurrection Act to bypass court rulings blocking use of troops in US cities


    What we're covering

    Federal troop deployments: The Trump administration’s efforts to deploy National Guard troops to Democrat-led cities have prompted a legal showdown between the White House and state and local officials.

    Illinois sues: Illinois and Chicago sued the administration on Monday, asking a federal court to halt the federalization of National Guard troops from that state and Texas, calling the move “patently unlawful.” Trump had authorized 300 Illinois guard members to go to Chicago to “protect federal officers and assets.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott also volunteered 400 of his state’s troops for deployment at Trump’s discretion.

    Judge blocks Oregon deployment: On Sunday, a federal judge temporarily blocked the deployment of National Guard members to Portland, Oregon, for the second time. The decision came after the Trump administration tried to circumvent the original order by deploying troops from the California National Guard to Portland on Sunday, which led to the state of California joining the lawsuit.

    This is such asinine performative nonsense.

    U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, appointed by Trump during his first term, issued the order
    pending further arguments in a lawsuit brought by the state and city. She said the relatively small protests
    did not justify the use of federalized forces and allowing the deployment could harm Oregon’s state sovereignty.​

    While people are worrying about the Epstein File
    Trump and folx are putting a Standing Army into American Citizens
    So
    When the Files finally come out . . ..
    Trump will say:
    YEA WE'RE PEDOPHILES . . . Now send us your children or ICE will kill you all .

    Same guy who said to these guys...

    Screenshot_20251007-105742.png

    “We love you, you’re very special.”

    “I know your pain, I know you’re hurt. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace.”

    If hundreds of protesters in any cities stormed barriers, broke into ICE facilities or government buildings like this, beating agents and using bear spray and tasers he'd give his approval to just shoot them all. I have no doubt.

    I wonder if that dumb reporter followed up with "uh.....hello?....Jan 6th???" Probably not.

    Also, Stephen Miller is really weird. Definitely gives off a Joseph Goebbels vibe.

    I generally suspected libertarianism to be a giant scam and no doubt smugly pronounced as such many times here over the years.

    But, HOOO BOOY - the lack of dedication to refreshing the tree of liberty or whatever - even I did not think it would be abandoned this fast.

    I still like "Pee Wee Hermann Göring" just because it sounds good.

    My biggest question is... WHY NOW???

    I mean the guy hasn't even finished his first year yet, and we are ALREADY doing the whole martial law troops in the streets fascist stuff. Why now?? Why so damn early?? I get it that Charlie Kirk's death was an opportunity but was it THIS MUCH of an opportunity to be like... yep.... NOW is our time!!"???

    So, by his textbook definition of domestic terrorism he just admitted that Trump pardoned a whole butt load of domestic terrorists as one of his first actions after taking office.

    if people aren’t arming themselves or currently in the process of doing so, then they’re simply not paying attention

    This post reinforces how liberals, once they gain life experience and responsibilities, realize that Republican policies were right all along. Be thankful we have been protecting your right to keep and bear arms for all these years.


    GOOD DAY

    TBH, I have actually thought about this, for several years I have been kicking around the idea of getting something for the house but now I am going to actually do it......................this **** is not normal yet the entire maga group in congress just acts like it's another Tuesday. Tramp wants martial law and the more cities the better. Sending troops into Portland Oregon?? Project 2025 isnt such a big joke anymore, its the playbook and it was the playbook all along, shocking tramp lied when asked about it while on the campaign trail

    I`ve got news for people who don't vote, you better use your voice....................Democracy is an experiment and if were not careful the experiment will be over
