Trump Could Invoke Insurrection Act on April 20

Friday, April 18, 2025

On that date, the president will receive a report from the secretary of defense and the secretary of homeland security "about the conditions at the southern border of the United States and any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border, including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807."

Trump and his fascist gang talk about invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807, which allows a president to use the military domestically to quell civil disorder. Will Trump's abuses of power inspire sustained mass protests that he'll deem to be "disorder"? Will he cite immigration as a pretext? 4/7

@#9 ... Invoke the Insurrection Act and round up all the Democrats, their liberal judges, and their NGOs that enabled the 10M+ illegals to flood the country. Charge them under RICO for the drugs, human trafficking, and crime their migrants committed in the US....

... and what if Pres Trump does not invoke the Insurrection Act?

Will you criticize him for not doing so? Your current alias seems to be quite firm in its belief that it should be invoked.

"Invoke the Insurrection Act and round up all the Democrats, their liberal judges.. blah blah blah."

I say let's do it. Come and get me.

I am already tired of watching you maga maroons slow walking this country into a dictatorship anyway. My federal tax return is in my account and I am armed and ready to make a stand now.

Let's start the damn Purge.

Let's get down with the sickness and get it out of our system.

I think the MagaTards will be surprised on how many of us non-MAGAt's own fire arms. By the time it registers in their tiny minds it will be too late.

I've been investing in lead. Bring it on shortdiks!
