Trump is telling us every day how his 2nd term would look.

"TDS" is Trump Denial Syndrome. Cultists refuse to believe what he's telling them.

TDS is Trump Derangement Syndrome, not Trump Denial Syndrome. Redefinition fallacy.
Trump's campaign platform is on his own website. I agree with it.

Question often overlooked by the MAGA cultist is what do they think Trump was going to do if Pence delivered as Trump ordered him?

Given the obvious reaction in the country do they naively think Trump wasn’t prepared to declare Martial Law as several of his favorite advisers instructed him? That he wasn’t ready to declare the election null and void and justify keeping himself in the White House indefinitely? Or with his army of attorneys stay on Pennsylvania Ave till a decision was arrived at in the Courts after his strategy of endless appeals and delays?

And all of that was with three months to prepare, image the scenarios he has ready now with three years of planning?

Pence broke the law.

Those who haven't already should buy a hunting rifle with scope and a lot of ammo. Something common like the NATO 7.62 is good. Become proficient with it and then identify all the likely local Trump Sturmabteilung should the Resistance need to go into action.

War mongering.

So, a single "expert," not plural, with a Progressive Leftist think tank is warning people Trump is bad... Is this like the 51 intelligence community experts and leaders that signed onto a letter saying that Hunter's laptop was a ruse and disinformation only to be totally discredited months later? I suspect it is...

Indeed
 
Trump talks big, but pussies out often. He likely would not act on his big words. Still, his weakness is dangerous and one day may really make good on a threat.

[FONT=&]Former President Donald Trump said while campaigning in Iowa this year that he was kept from using the military to quell violence in primarily Democratic cities and states during his presidency. The 2024 Republican primary frontrunner called New York City and Chicago "crime dens," telling his audience, "The next time, I’m not waiting. One of the things I did was let them run it and we’re going to show how bad a job they do,” he said. “Well, we did that. We don’t have to wait any longer.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The former president has not precisely explained how he plans to employ the military during a potential second term, though he and his advisors have suggested they would have a far reach to call its units. While regularly deploying the military within the nation's borders would depart from precedent, Trump has already foreshadowed his aggressive agenda if he wins, including mass deportations and travel bans imposed on certain Muslim-majority countries, the Associated Press reports.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]A law crafted early in the nation's history would give the former president — as commander in chief — almost unbridled power to call upon the military, legal and military experts told the AP.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The Insurrection Act authorizes presidents to summon reserve or active-duty military units to respond to unrest in the states, a power that is not reviewable by the courts. One of its few limitations requires the president to request that participants in the unrest disperse.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“The principal constraint on the president’s use of the Insurrection Act is basically political, that presidents don’t want to be the guy who sent tanks rolling down Main Street,” Joseph Nunn, a national security expert with the Brennan Center for Justice, told the AP. “There’s not much really in the law to stay the president’s hand.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Nunn said the act, which passed in 1792, just four years after the Constitution was ratified, is now a fusion of different statutes enacted between then and the 1870s, a moment when local law enforcement had few restrictions.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“It is a law that in many ways was created for a country that doesn’t exist anymore,” he added.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]It's also one of the most significant exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally bars the use of the military for purposes of law enforcement.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Trump has openly voiced his plans around using the military at the southern border and in cities struggling with violent crime if he wins the presidency. His agenda has also included employing the military against foreign drug cartels, a measure echoed by fellow Republican candidates Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, the former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor. Those threats have prompted questions about presidential power, the meaning of military oaths, and who Trump could appoint to further his plan.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]He's already floated the idea of bringing back retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who served briefly as the national security advisor in the Trump administration and twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during its Russian interference probe before being pardoned by Trump. In the wake of the 2020 election, Flynn suggested that Trump could snatch up voting machines and order the military in some states to aid in rerunning the election.

That was dumb, even by your standards. The concept is exactly what Trump has been saying on his media platform and at his rallies. He already tried to overthrow the government to keep power. He has had 3 years to refine the plan. He has shown no contrition. He has sunk even lower.

Closet authoritarian masquerading as a Libertarian.

The Libertarian Party pushes tolerance, Fat Boy, not an authoritarian fist hammering political opponents. That's what the fucking Nazis do, dumbass.
