Are These City-to-City, Troop Occupations Just Mini Experiments in Martial Law?

Is this how tr💩ump determines if he has the full support of the military? Nobody is fooled by his transparently desperate, city-to-city bully quest, trying to pick a fight to become Master of the Puniverse. tr💩mp is definitely a legend...buuut only in his craven, mentally disturbed mind. No Nobel Prize awaits him; a convicted, criminally insane felon!

Note to Us All: Do not give tr💩mp a reason to declare (national) Martial Law.

1. HOPE THEY FUCKING FAIL.

[Hekate]

2. Yes they are

[J_William_Ryan]

3. Trump can't lawfully, constitutionally declare 'martial law.'

Trump doesn’t care about the law or Constitution, of course.

There will be a constitutional crisis if Trump tries to establish military tribunals or detain US citizens absent due process.

One would hope that the military would refuse to obey such unlawful orders.

6. Trump already doing military tribunals.

Did you not read this week that 600 Military Legal Officers (JAGs) were being moved from the Departmrnt of Defense over to the Department of Justice to serve as “Immigration judges”.

That’s their new military tribunals. They set up for immigration first.

Then they will be judges to order the mental cases into asylums.

Then they come after the democrats, the educated, those fluent in more than one language, etc.

It’s worse than you know.

14. All of this is in the realm of possibility.

[Bread and Circuses]

4. Indeed.

[Justice matters.]

5. Pedo felon hopes that protestors in Chicago will break "his" windows...

"his" windows of "his" awful tower there... or put it on fire... you know, the Black Bloc, or others...

That will enrage him and he will invoke the insurrection act to suspend the midterms.

Will the courts fight him (and win)?

7. He's pushing the envelope

on every factor and front possible. He already knows he can't be punished. His singular philosophy is "let's see how much I can get away with".

[Cosmocat]

13. Correct - it both is and isn't an "experiment"

in that doing this and all the other crazy shit he does is meant to wear people down and break the system, so it serves that purpose. At the same time, they are using each of these to learn from to do things differently the next time.

Cause, we have no history of operating as a autocratic nation, so they are working the kinks out in that regard.

[BaronChocula]

16. Haunting words - "is meant to wear people down"

I'll TRY to make this short. Though not religious, my parents were friends with the chaplain of the old folks community where they spent their last years. He eulogized them both. At my mother's memorial in 2019 he quoted a current theologian and philosopher whose name I can't remember to drive home the point of evil. The chaplain who was calmly mannered and not fiery raised his voice and said "... the point of evil is to wear you down!"

He didn't need to mention any names. It was just additionally comforting to know how well he knew my mother.

For context, a few months prior my mother was in the hospital after a stroke. One morning a nurse coming on shift came in to check Mom's cognition with the little battery of questions. When she asked who the president was my mother answered "donald fucking trump." the nurse fell out and asked me "did she say what I thought she said."

8. He's going to do what he wants

He knows nothing will be done to stop him.

9. Already did the dress rehearsal in LA

Court ruled it was illegal to send troops into LA. Krasnov ignores the ruling, to send troops to invade Chicago.
The regime doesn't care about court rulings and there isn't a department that can uphold the court rulings.

Krasnov wants war on our soil. Krasnov wants to shoot US citizens. It's all a matter of time, very little time. If Krasnov invades
Chicago and people protest there will be violence against citizens.

I can't even fuckin believe this is happening. We shut this shit down in the 40s. What are we even doing here?

Release the Epstein files now

10. They are attempts at creating an excuse to institute martial law.

He is trying to goad people into becoming violent. Violence would be his excuse. It didn't work in L.A., so he moved on to DC. Not working there, either, so on to the next target. It won't work there, either.

[Martin Eden]

11. Yes. The highest priority of an authoritarian regime is to sieze and hold onto power.

These fascists are determined to ensure they don't lose the House and/or Senate in the 2026 midterms, and for that they need martial law.

[Scrivener7]

12. Yes.

[Brainfodder]

15. IMHO it is pre-NYC, working out the kinks?
