    It’s a great thing that the No Kings protests didn’t make a single demand. And now President King Trump is going to go on a rampage and the dem pols probably won’t do much to stop him.

    I just had a thought. I won’t be surprised if the GOP justices eventually say that because Trump is in charge of federal and federalized forces - those troops can’t be tried for any crimes by any state if the troops are “maintaining order”. And after the ruling Trump just comes out and says “Democrat protests? Illegal. ICE or the Marines or whatever can shoot the bad people. And I don’t need to pardon. My FBI won’t investigate anybody for shooting the right people and my DOJ won’t charge anybody.”

    Then dems can do…

      I think he is saving the big martial law stuff for when the US goes to war with Iran and there are protests about that. They’ll do massive crackdowns, and call protestors terrorists or something. Wouldn’t be surprised if they give young healthy protestors the option of joining the military instead of going to jail too. Since their recruitment numbers have been horrible lately.

    Has anyone on the right considered that “let these demon-rat run cities suffer the the consequences of their soft on illegals policies”? Like, why spend millions on “helping” these obviously ungrateful cities?
