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

So, this blog is suppressed on April 20th, and most of its users named as criminals.

Not a question.

It's a shame Biden didn't invoke the insurrection act in response to January 6th 2021.

Democrats failed to protect this nation and now Trump is well on his way to destroying our nation.

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.

Once again you prove what a braindead s^*%heap you are.

Utilizing emergency powers for a state of reality that's existed our entire adult lives because your boy is doing it is stupid as hell.

As is usual for skidmarks, you'll cheer every erosion of civil rights until it's you in the crosshairs. Then you'll stand there mouthing words of protest that will fall on deaf or incarcerated ears.

Ahh look at the Nazis giggling with glee at the misfortunes of others.

Just remember friend what happened to the Nazi. Nazis from WWII are still being hunted down and prosecuted even to this very day.

Your posts are well documented for the next administration the President of which will also be immune from prosecution.

I am not saying it will happen but it is still happening from the last time the Nazis flexed its muscle in the world.

Enjoy your karma friend.

@#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.

The tree of Liberty is thirsty.

Sic Semper Tyrannis.

Semper Fi

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!
