The REAL REASON Trump is putting National Guard into the streets

[AverageOldGuy]

Has NOTHING to do with crime, nothing at all.

Trump is putting federalized National Guard into the streets. "Federalized" means that chain of command for the Guard does not go through the states, instead, they are under federal control -- that means Trump is in control.

So, why is he putting federalized NG troops into major US cities -- that vote Democratic and in many cases have Black mayors?

THIS IS A DRY RUN FOR THE NOVEMBER 2026 ELECTIONS WHEN TRUMP WILL USE FEDERAL TROOPS -- FEDERALIZED GUARD OR ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY -- TO INTIMIDATE VOTERS AND SEIZE BALLOT BOXES, VOTING MACHINES, AND OTHER ELECTION MATERIAL.

Remember back in 2020 when Trump was raving about a stolen election? This from NPR, Jan 2022:
https://www.npr.org/2022/01/23/1075219215/jan-6-panel-is-investigating-a-trump-administration-plan-to-seize-voting-machine

The House panel looking into last January's attack on the Capitol is investigating a plan that would have directed the secretary of defense to seize voting machines in battleground states, the chairperson of the Jan. 6 committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told Face the Nation on Sunday.

"If you are using the military to potentially seize voting machines ... the public needs to know," Thompson said.

Politico reported Friday that an executive order was drafted in December 2020 citing conspiracy theories about election fraud and foreign ownership of Dominion voting machines.

The order, complete with a dotted line ready for Trump's signature, would have directed the secretary of defense to "seize, collect, retain and analyze all machines, equipment, electronically stored information, and material records required for retention" under a law that relates to preserving election records.

And there you have it, folks. Better believe me.

And WTF will we or anyone else do about it?

1. I think it is a given that Trump will send US troops to Dem precincts.

[orangecrush]

2. Nailed it

[BoRaGard]

3. repubes are a party without honor

they wallow in BEARING FALSE WITNESS
and working to deceive the American people about elections,
climate change, tariffs (taxes), etc. etc.

4. Den local leaders should be challenging what "emergency" means RIGHT NOW !!

Hitler did similar after Reixhstag fire and opposition leaders on Germany did little to challenge the "emergency" edict also. Deployment of troops on US soil shouldn't be left up to the whims of any leader but have a framework.

We should fight this in court right now

5. Yes we should be fighting this in court right now.

But this is also an attempted distraction from the epstein scandal. His version of "look! squirrel!" Only it's not working as well as he had hoped.

[live love laugh]

6. Because he stands to be held accountable if fair elections happen.

[OhioTim]

7. Agree, But Trump Ignores

the fact that the the two cities with the highest crime rates are Memphis and St Louis, both in red states. It's NOT about crime. This is what dictators do.

[Johonny]

8. Because he thinks it looks good on TV

This is presidency by reality TV. He doesn't care about problems or results. He cares about the show.

[Hieronymus Phact]

9. Thinks?

This is all choreographed with fox news. Nobody watches it here, but if you want to be really frightened informed about the level of collusion between the gop government and fox news and how they manufacture propaganda, you need to watch it.

10. MAGA are convinced there's widespread voting fraud

yet the people who have been caught for voting fraud have been MAGA.

The 2000 mules MAGA movie had some seriously idiotic assertions. They showed a video of one person depositing one ballot into a drop box as some evidence of nefarious conspiracy. It was bizarre.

[Callie1979]

17. And DiSouza himself stated the movie did NOT prove fraud at all

I believe he also lost a lawsuit by someone who was shown in the movie. Not positive but I think so

[BidenRocks]

11. The tree of liberty

Will be watered by the blood of chump!

Isn't that what they said ten years ago? Only with liberal tears or some bullshit.

What happened to those 2nd amendment remedies?

Their outrage was made up.

This is real. Be prepared!

[Brainfodder]

12. Going with his heart giving out, and he can't run again without severe consequences?

He'd have to cheat to win again after all this.

Whose standing still when 82ish conman tries to run again just so he can pretend to win with 30% tops approval then until he allows robots to vote?

I'm in the dropping dead before then of heart disease camp and where can we bet on it?

New product ideas for Newsome camp: Golden T urinal cakes, flyswatters and CONdiment Bowls?
Make them made in America and embarrassingly high quality! (unlike some people!)!

[Historic NY]

13. As soon as those yahoos whack civilians

its all over.

[BidenRocks]

18. They have already fired on a vehicle

after breaking the window, not having a warrant and terrorizing the occupants who took off and called the police.
ICE fired on the car illegally.

[NoMoreRepugs]

14. If it occurs I think the majority of people will DO NOTHING. There will be social media wailing but that's a flacid

response IMO. My question is where will the young people who are watching their future dramatically altered be? On their phones or in the streets??

[IbogaProject]

15. Time to reduce consumption

We need to figure out ways to to make the wealthy feel uncomfortable and get them to back off on this idiotic evil tack. WE can fight about the tax cuts and eliminating regulations later but we have to get this straight. I wish we as a party banned larged donations in our primaries awhile ago.

[Callie1979]

16. When it becomes obvious thats what he's doing someone will take him out.

And it'll be HIS fault that it happened.

[Martin Eden]

19. Fascism 101: Once you have power, do ANYTHING to keep it

NOBODY should be surprised when Hair Twitler uses the military to sieze ballots. He's been itching to declare martial law since his first term.
