How Trump could use the military to go after the 'radical left'

[Ahlevah]

Trump’s the Anti-Christ, and Elon Musk is Cerberus guarding the gates of hell.

God, people are so gullible. They even got my 90-year-old mother, a lifelong Republican who’s voting Democrat.

Remember how in 2016 Democrats said Trump was gong to start WWIII if he were elected? Yeah, I believe Democrats are talking about it, because they sure don’t want to talk about how they’ve ****ed up the country.

I figured this would happen. We are now sliding to leftists. This is basically what Mao did.

This isn't good. It won't stop with leftists. Radical is a very subjective term.

This is un-American

I do not think he is just talking "radical"left (whatever that means) . I think he is speaking to all opposition. If I were a Republican not in lock step with his whims.....I would worry.
Look on this board. Republicans that are not in lock step have been marginalized as "Rinos". IIRC, someone on this board actually referred to Reagan as a Rino the other day.

Trump and his loyal followers are sowing the seeds of division and hate in this country. He acts like an authoritarian strongman....but he makes us weak.

Interestingly enough, Trump is making that statement now, If he is not elected WWW3 will start. More than once he has said it.

Yeah, and “based on his own words” Democrats said in 2016 that Trump would start WWIII if he were elected. In four years of Joe and Kamala, the world is probably closer to WWIII than at any point in my lifetime, and that goes back to tbe Eisenhower administration.

I’m more interested in what a politician does than what she says. Kamala says she owns a Glock. She also signed an amicus brief in a case that went to the Supreme Court arguing against an individual’s right to own a gun and supporting a handgun ban. When she was California’s attorney general, the Supreme Court ruled against her on First Amendment grounds in a case where she argued non-profits should be required to disclose their major donors. Coincidentally, her office “accidentally” disclosed the names of donors to select conservative non-profits. So when Kamala Harris says Donald Trump is a threat to freedom and the Constitution, pardon me if I feel a sudden need to vomit.

Democrats and their fawning media darlings aren’t averse to taking things Trump says out If context and putting their own spin on it if it will further the cause of driving a stake through Dracula’s heart. For example, in his Charlottesville comments he said, "You also had people that were very fine people, on both sides." The part they left out was where he said, "I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally." Basically, Democrats will lie if it helps further whatever narrative they’re trying to create.

We're discussing his own words over the last few weeks.

Have you heard them?

Are we discussing his words or the Democrats’ latest partisan spin on them? Did they forget about the time President Eisenhower called in the 101st Airborne Division to invade a high school in Arkansas? He thought we had an “enemy within” then, too. Turns out we did.

We're literally discussing his words over the last few weeks. You need to keep up.

He may be right. He wound down our war in Afghanistan and defeated ISIS while Joe and Kamala have their fingers in multiple wars after appeasing autocrats in Russia and Iran. Democrats said Trump was in Putin’s pocket while Trump was telling Europeans to stop getting so cozy with Putin and Russia. He told them, particularly the Germans, that they should diversify their energy sources away from Russia and increase their defense spending because they were making themselves vulnerable to Russian coercion. They didn’t listen, even though Putin had already invaded Ukraine. Now Democrats are saying—again—that Trump is in Putin’s pocket.

So what’s the problem? There is an “enemy from within” that wants to destroy this country and would do anything it can to disrupt civil society and prevent Americans from exercising their constitutional rights. What did Democrats do in 2020 when Antifa hoodlums were rioting and burning down their cities other than tell the cops to stand aside and let them do it? Why would things be better under a Harris administration? She’s useless.

Ahhhh - the good old "enemy within" argument used by petty tinpot thugs and dictators from time immemorial raises its ugly head again.

One can hardly wait until Mr Trump starts referring to a "stab in the back".

So what’s the problem?

Well, he wants to be a dictator for a day and he's speaking of using the military of people like Nancy Pelosi.

You want Democrats to use our military on your kids??

Yeah, well, Democratic Chicken Littles said in 2016 the sky would fall if der Fuehrer were elected back then based on what he said:

At Sunday’s debate, Donald Trump revealed that he is not running to be America’s president so much as its dictator.

The debate’s most unnerving moment came early. “If I win, I’m going to instruct the attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, because there’s never been so many lies, so much deception,” Trump told Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump confirmed our worst fears about the kind of president he would be

Donald Trump is running for dictator, not for president.

www.vox.com

Trump never followed through on his threat to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile, Trump was being investigated even before he was elected president going back to the Obama administration and the “Russia collusion” hoax. Since then we’ve had multiple U.S. attorneys and two special prosecutors investigating Trump. He’s probably the most investigated president in American history.

Trump had guardrails in 2016. Now he's going to crush all of the sane people and only install the Mike Flynns of the world.

You not being able to see that is meaningless.

13 former Trump administration officials sign open letter backing up John Kelly's criticism of Trump

Kelly told the New York Times that Trump meets the definition of a fascist and also said he observed the former president on multiple occasions praising Adolf Hitler.

More desperation two weeks from the election. You'll see these types of stories pop up in the media and liberal lemming will eat it up. It doesn't do anything but how desperate liberals are to retain power.

If he followed the law he couldn't.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.

However, Trump has over 13,000 Truth Social posts from January 1, 2023 to April 1, 2024, where Trump has vowed at least 19 times to weaponize law enforcement against civilians. This includes deploying state and local police, multiple branches of the military and federal law enforcement agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, FBI and Homeland Security agencies against people crossing the southern border, homeless people and protestors.

And let's not forget the Constitution itself.

That’s a big “if.”
