He's treating the American people as an enemy. He has declared civil war.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I’m going to say it again. If you are active duty, and you follow these orders, you an enemy of this nation.
A crime. He's prepared to commit a crime.
He's prepared to escalate an ongoing crime.
Is he ever not committing one?
I think the president is capable of durations up to seven seconds where he’s not actively committing a crime. However, this measurement and the conclusions it reaches disregards background crimes that are only in progress, and only measures new crimes initiated.
He's committed so many crimes, his existence has become illegal
Only while sleeping, and even then I’m not so sure.
Still a crime against humanity asleep or not.
He's commited to crime.
Not according to the Supreme Court. President is immune from law.
Another crime.
So, more treason?
I'll keep saying it.
Everyone should be arming themselves and everyone they know. Eventually they will try to prevent anyone who registered/voted Democrat from purchasing a firearm. Everyone should be forming networks with like-minded people using only end-to-end encrypted messaging apps. This is not going to stop. This is not going plateau and fizzle out. We're locked in now. It will escalate until we live in a fully authoritarian state or until we do something about it.
Random fact of the day... cap and ball colts are percussion instruments with no federal regulations, unlike "firearms"
So gun registration lists are bad now?
Reasonable gun control measures to reduce gun violence, especially in schools vs. blocking any possible dissenters of a fascist regime from defending themselves. I'd say that the latter sounds like a bad idea.
*with unpaid troops. Yes, I am sure they will be chomping at the bit to obey the orders of a disingenuous master while they scrounge up whatever they can to feed their families.
Maybe they'll encourage plunder like the good old days (the 1300s).
They got private donors to fund the troops, I believe.
They received a donation to fund the troops, which paid for a whopping 5 hours of military salaries. The donation was $130 million and the daily cost of military personnel (not including veterans' benefits) is about $600 million.

Doesn't that mean they cease to be the US armed forces and are now a private militia? Is that what those troops that signed up for? I don't think so.
That's the big question isn't it? I don't know the legality behind it, but being paid by someone other than the citizenry is extremely problematic. Taking an oath to the Constitution (that protects the rights of the people) while being paid by an individual, well that starts turning the corner from standing army to being mercenaries.
I really have no idea what goes through one's head when they sign up for the US military nowadays, besides it being a rather straightforward career option.
Wealth redistribution with extra steps
I think it's just them realizing that without the military protecting them by threat or actual force, they're liable to be literally on the chopping block. To that end, I will note that the private military contractors have seemingly been disturbingly quiet for having an authoritarian in power.
This feels like wishful thinking. To date, only 2 service members are refusing orders. They are national guard women.
No way the Democrats don't cave now that Republicans are denying SNAP.
I honestly don't know... why would they draw the line at food, and not health care?
He's still gonna need a lot more troops.
The HF is growing more aware of just how badly the numbers are stacked against them.
In time the more people understand this, the easier it will be to hang each and every fascist for their war against humanity.
from "thoese crazy russians" to "thoese crazy amercians"
Maybe Governors need to deploy the National Guard to watch the "Texas" Nation Guard.
I really hope the next states to have the "Texas" National Guard deployed have a better plan than lawsuits. Maybe have all National Guard personnel reviewing unlawful orders, or learning to have conflicts so they cannot deploy, or something.
Or just deploy Nat Guard to their own borders and airports and turn others away on entry.
The Handmaid’s Tale. Seriously people, this is what’s happening.
Like fecees? He's talking about sending poop. President poopy pants is in love with poop.
Unfortunately he is talking about sending people who are trained to kill
You forgot the piss. He also loves piss. President Piss ‘n Shit.
He's gonna send all his full diapers in via jet.
Obviously has no idea what appropriate means
Yeah, I wouldn't trust someone who was best friends with Epstein to know what's appropriate.
The next step towards a full fascist takeover of the United States.
And I still get downvotes when I tell Americans two No Kings protests in four months isn't going to be enough.

Perhaps you're getting downvoted because thats a strawman argument you're creating? Is there anyone of any legitimacy saying two protests would be enough? Of course not, you know better. I can tell you thats why I downvoted you.
To be fair, you get downvotes because you're an asshole. Grass is also green but you don't see me posting it. Hope it is bringing you joy to be such an immensely correct person though!
But a lot of them asked really nice for them to stop being fascist!
