I've been saying since dumpster came into power that he's gonna attack the US, or attack another country that retaliates, so he can declare martial law and stay in power until the fat POS dies, hopefully painfully.
They need a 9/11 style support for war.
They want this.
But irans plan is literally laid out. They're doing everything they e said they'd do.
They're going to fuck us economically. It's going to get wild unless something wilder happens. Neither is good.
If there was another 9/11, Trump wouldn't be able to decide whether it was bad because America was attacked or good because he doesn't like New York City.
The have been 'IS' themed attacks in new York already.
I expect a false flag attack before the elections.
Likewise, a global economic crisis might also be the point. Would undermine China’s trade and growth, would help fascist parties in the west and give Trump an excuse to cancel or rig the elections because of a ‘crisis’
Here comes another 9/11 and Oct7 to make things worse.
From another post I made: “ I don’t think another 9/11 will unite Americans how they’re thinking it will this time. I can imagine he thinks that there will be a grand incident in the US and everyone will unite behind him as our savior to stomp down the “big baddie” and he’ll be looked at as a hero.
That’s not gonna work this time. He’s too hated and will be looked at as the one who caused it and fracture even more. You can’t play that card twice. ”
I hope so.
Dude elections aren’t going to be canceled. That idiot can try but states do what they want by design.
People need to stop saying this, or at least say every time that they can try it but it’s not going to work.
It can't happen here.
-Person to whom it will happen.
You're still assuming that legality means anything to them. So far, they have been trying to maintain a fig leaf of legitimacy, but that could change at any point. If the military obeys Trump's illegal orders, he can override or ignore any law, up to and including the Constitution. Laws only have meaning if they are enforced. That has not been happening for a while now.
Trump has the capability to send troops to seize state capitals, or to bomb them, or to arrest state governors and legislators. We all hope he won't, but what is going to prevent it if he tries?
The thing we don’t know though is how the general public would react to these types of actions.
The general public is still largely unaware of most of what has been happening, and they still believe they live in a democracy and will continue to do so until they can’t vote in mid terms. That will be the first major wake up call for a huge percentage of Americans and we will see what happens if the regime does take that action.
I agree. If that happens, things will change, but there's no telling in what way. All I can do is cross my fingers and make sure the filters in my painting mask are current.
They gave someone on a terrorist watch list a VISA just sona CI could never leave his side till the FBI picked him up for an "assassination plt" the CI planned and the guy on the list wasn't even into.
The only thing crazier than that, would be thinking it wasn't done once.
