THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

[DriveInDriveOut]

Trump at one point “floated the idea of having 10,000 National Guardsmen deployed

Shame the Democrats chose to ignore credible intelligence warnings and leave capitol police unprepared.

“Most importantly, the unselect committee did not produce a single shred of evidence that I in any way intended or wanted violence at our Capitol.”

Very true.

Can The President Really Order Troops Into US Cities?

Texas A&M experts explain the Insurrection Act of 1807 and the powers it gives a president to deploy the military on domestic soil.

We would then have to define insurrection. Would burning down buildings and attacking others in riots all over the country qualify? Would you have been fine with Trump putting the military into the streets to stop the 2020 riots? J6 was a protest that turned into a riot. An armed insurrection it was not. You guys don't seem to get that if Trump was going to usurp the election and trample the Constitution he would have ordered troops into the streets to arrest Congress and SCOTUS and set himself up as dictator. He never did and all of this for show kangaroo court proceedings is a farce.

Another waste of time and money. All the while knowing it is during the process.

I lived in Detroit in 1967. 82nd and 101st Airborne were on the streets and rooftops in my neighborhood.

What historical fact?

It was two sentences, both are factual. Which do you disagree with?

Don't blame them, you're dangerous.

We were glad to see regular Army, the National Guard was out of control.

What was?

It was.

No candidate has had more investigations, more raids, more attorneys, more committees, more swamp rats, coming after him with both barrels to find him guilty of something, but never have.
Talk about finding more ways to lose.... your camp has the champions of losers.

@BrownFlush , what do you disagree with, or are you trolling?

I don't troll.
I wasn't there but, the National Guard wasn't out of control, but could not control the riots. Is that what you meant?

Maybe we should just shut our MAGA attempts down and pull together for another candidate that has a better chance.

That is not what I meant. The DPD was 92% white, the MI National Guard was 99% white, and the MSP was 100% white. There were indiscriminate killings by law enforcement. The Army was about 25% Black, and operated under different rules.

This is a good overview of the occupation of Detroit:

This is a good movie about that time, and still available on various platforms:

That was then. Would you have agreed with Trump putting the military into the streets in 2020? Of course you wouldn't. You'd be screaming things about Hitler and Mussolini.
