It's a great thing that the No Kings protests didn't make a single demand. And now President King Trump is going to go on a rampage and the dem pols probably won't do much to stop him.

Hey now, it's "No Tyrants" now. We wouldn't want to upset weapon sales to our Saudi friends, would we?

They're gonna wave the flag so fucking hard.

Don't worry, there was buzz about the "next protest on July 4", so I'm sure there is a big threat of more taco jokes if he doesn't change course

And it will be perfect if Biden walk-stumbles out of his Crypt in show his support of "more funding" the pigs to prove the dems are more patriotic.

Biden's gonna compromise with a, "shoot'em in the ankle."

Yeah but it sounds like "shoobin-inka-thankle" and having unwittingly spoken those words that were ancient before even the first pyramid stone was hewn he accidentally triggers the end of this world.

I just had a thought. I won't be surprised if the GOP justices eventually say that because Trump is in charge of federal and federalized forces - those troops can't be tried for any crimes by any state if the troops are "maintaining order". And after the ruling Trump just comes out and says "Democrat protests? Illegal. ICE or the Marines or whatever can shoot the bad people. And I don't need to pardon. My FBI won't investigate anybody for shooting the right people and my DOJ won't charge anybody."

Then dems can do...

I think he is saving the big martial law stuff for when the US goes to war with Iran and there are protests about that. They'll do massive crackdowns, and call protestors terrorists or something. Wouldn't be surprised if they give young healthy protestors the option of joining the military instead of going to jail too. Since their recruitment numbers have been horrible lately.
