  1. This is exactly what it sounds like. This can’t be allowed to move forward.

  2. South Korea tried to enact martial law and millions were in the street and their leader was ousted

    Do it Trump. It’s not gonna end how you think it will

  6. Unfortunately people like Trump tend to double down and dig deeper when cornered. They will never admit any mistakes. We can absolutely expect an increase in this sort of action as his popularity dwindles

  7. I truly believe he is going to pull something like martial law to postpone the midterms.

  8. > Sec. 2. Legal Defense of Law Enforcement Officers. The Attorney General shall take all appropriate action to create a mechanism to provide legal resources and indemnification to law enforcement officers who unjustly incur expenses and liabilities for actions taken during the performance of their official duties to enforce the law. This mechanism shall include the use of private-sector pro bono assistance for such law enforcement officers.

    The Attorney General must take all action to indemnify law enforcement against liabilities and to provide them with free legal representation.

    Read it. That’s what it says.

  10. Local PDs need to decide what they stand for: law and order or state repression.

  12. Arm yourselves and stock food and coffee and ammo. If they’re allowed to do this, large scale violence will erupt.

  13. It would end with Trump ordering American deaths. He’s going to do it because that’s what he wants to do. We have a dictator.

  15. I actually want him to do it. Please go down the martial law path. It will cause mass protests like South Korea and support getting him removed from office just like South Korea. The sooner we get this Hitler want to be out of office the better. It’s daily terror with this insane freakshow.

  17. I’m sure those checks and balances will kick in any second now.

  18. We need to study South Korea’s example. President Yoon FAFO’d with martial law and we see how that turned out for him

    Americans need to follow suit

  19. Every step of the way has sparked what-ifs and every time it has come true.

    Remember how Trump promised us there would be no more blue states and no need for another election? This is how.

    Even if the left were to stage it’s own Jan 6th on the Capitol, following everything the right did down to the T it would result in him leveraging this power without a second thought.

    Trump knows he’s in too deep and that if he loses the presidency that his last year’s will be spent in prison or in constant investigation. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain. He must do these things now or he will be destroyed. And that is an unacceptable outcome for any mammal.

  21. There’s that word again. “Concerns.” It has no business being used in these contexts. The mad king is literally in the act of sending troops to cities to enforce his edicts and they are using this word.

  22. It is martial law. I’m sick of news networks pussyfooting around.

  23. Wake me up when the concern is sparked with the people who can actually remove him from office.

  24. Sounds like Martial law bc that’s exactly what it is. Curfew times aren’t posted yet.

  25. “Marshall law” for those dumber members of Congress.

  26. Once these 90 days pass, there will be no turning back anymore. The time to act is now.

  27. When there was the fear of him doing this on 4/20, there was a lot of people saying it wouldn’t happen cause there would be military personnel moving… Well, here we are!

  28. Oh look. We’re screaming full speed directly towards the *exact* thing we literally all warned you about, right before being called “fear mongerers”.

  29. I’m a fairly well educated fellow. And I can safely say that when any society turns its own military upon itself, you can no longer call that society “free”, in any sense of the word.

  30. Expect another sternly worded letter from the Democratic leadership.

  31. This is him positioning his pieces, before he disbands the Supreme Court and shuts down the news outlets.

  32. If you have a military that can be so easily used for martial law in “the land of the free”, then Trump is the most minor of problems.

  33. Fun fact
    35 us states have stand your ground laws
    Know your rights

  34. Martial law, martial meaning relating to the army or military life, is using the military to enforce the law. He declared martial law without using the term.

  36. Everything has been foretold, yet people are surprised, he has no respected for law and order, he’s a convicted felon, that’s allowed to continue to break the law, just like any good dictator.

  37. Concerns? His polls are tanking, Canada elbowed up his ass and he’s gonna need to find a way to secure this power. Both him and sissy spacex said if he didn’t win the last election they’d be incarcerated. 

  38. There’s supposed to be national May Day protests, maybe they got intel it’s supposed to be big, so big it might’ve made a difference.

    To prepare, he writes the new EO, thus justifying the actions of police & military from now on, especially since they’ve been floating warnings about how to behave or be punished, or calling anyone who opposes Trump (including the SC) can be arrested.

    TLDR: the regime is expecting protests, they preemptively give police immunity for any actions. They have to squash the resistance.

  39. He’s normalizing military force in public as a need. This is how you do material law with less resistance in the future.

  40. If congress fails to act then they are complicit.

  41. One thing I’ve been saying to all my friends… “you know what we need in this country? Police to have even more militarized equipment.”
