Is Trump getting ready to invoke the Insurrection Act?

The people have been primed for such an event. With the destruction of the East Wing of the White House, what better time than now to send the military into Portland and Chicago?

There is really no one is Washington that will prevent it from happening.

The Courts have shown themselves to be paper tigers, especially the Supreme Court.

The people are over-whelmed with the lawlessness of this regime and invoking the Insurrection Act would be just another chapter.

Our democracy is teetering on the edge.

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

His braindead supporters and the GOP would buy it.
