US Politics, June 2020 — You have to dominate.

Insurrection Act can't be officially in effect yet as it requires a call to disperse "or else". My guess is his call to the States to use the National Guard as a "last chance" before he invokes it, and he's mobilizing them in anticipation of invoking it.

Technically he can go around the States on this too.but he's using this the opposite of the way it was intended

ACLU, time to shine

What's the difference between Martial Law and Insurrection Act?

LOL I walked past the TV when he was doing that one law bit... one law *holds up a finger* ... one beautiful law... I was like WTF is this turd going on about and left the room again.

how fast will the Roberts Court review the Insurrection Act?

#BREAKING: Carmel, Indiana's mayor announced Monday that the city plans to sue Minneapolis for negligence so the Hamilton County city can recover expenses for protecting itself as a result of police actions in Minnesota.

Hearing that the same cops who took the knee were beating people up an hour later or elsewhere almost immediately turned around and ordered protestors tear gassed.
THought there were some decent ones who might just dislike people abusing the role for a moment.
But is this the spin about how the barrel isn't corrupted or something. Or an attempt to portray things as that.

The finger pointing up gag is probably mimicking evangelical Christians, who like to do it as a way of indicating God is involved. Like all those football players who touch their hearts and then point to the sky after scoring touchdowns.

gang i'm starting to get pretty freaked out but i have also been spending a lot of time on twitter so....

well anybody not getting freaked out rn is part of the problem

I’m pretty freaked out but when that happens I just start hoping to spontaneously die

ts: cops vs. yr parents

that's not two sides : /

:( i feel ya

detailed look at what invoking the Insurrection Act (which he hasn't done yet) would entail. why do I see ACLU lawyers having an all-nighter tonight?

so it's different from martial law in that martial law means government run by the military, suspension of habeas corpus, etc, whereas via the Insurrection Act, the military's rules of engagement are very limited, comparatively speaking.

wouldn't be surprised if this turns out like every other thing where the threatens to do something, then invents an excuse why he didn't have to ue it ("the Governors really stepped it up!")

Oh, it's 99 percent authoritarian theater, like a lot of things he does. But like the Sec. 230 thing with Twitter, he's very nakedly showing his inclinations. Needless to say a president who got re-elected on that platform would feel emboldened to try all kinds of very bad shit, and god knows 40 percent of the country will apparently go along with just about anything.

and then call the other 60% crazy

lmao this fucking guy. this fucking bible holder

Can’t be assed to thump it

really stupid alpha move right on schedule

where the threatens to do something, then invents an excuse why he didn't have to ue it ("the Governors really stepped it up!")

or just says he did it and the people who get no news but trump news believe it

it's a pretty ingenious way to pad your resume

didn't catch it live, but Don Lemon calling him out on answering "is that your bible" with "it's *a* bible".

Two Corinthians

pardon?

I imagine if Trump owns an actual Christian Bible, it's one of the tacky personalized ones from Salesman (that was probably stolen from someone else--Mike Huckabee perhaps).

Genedis, Exosus,Levinthians, Deuteroshua,

i can actually recite all of the Old Testament due to a cheesy bible rap I learned as a 12 year old

the books or every single verse??

Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
Joshua Judges

I'll tell you the truth
About the book of Ruth

Yea
First and Second Samuel
First and Second Kings
First and Second Chronicles
and all those things

Ezra
Nehemiah
Esther
And Job
I wanna go to Heaven
in a righteous robe

THESE ARE THE HOLY BOOKS
TELL ME THE NAME AND I'LL TAKE A SECOND LOOK

i forget the rest

fuck Trump

pfft. yknow the entire books used to be oral tradition? shape up!

Now do it in Hebrew!

i think silby can?!

(goodnight from Canada)

I can’t lol I’m not very learned

usually these thread titles are at least kind of funny but fuck this one is off-putting

i respect your right to do your thing of just neurotically shitposting all the time neanderthal but... could you do it a little less please?

go fuck yourself, bruh, this title was crowdsourced, if you could read the first few posts

I kinda like "positively toward negative" as a thread title

in about five minutes I'm sure you'll be off in another thread faux-apologizing for how "aggressive you're being lately" and then doing the same aggro bullshit again ten minutes later, I'm just fuckin over it, man.

but hey, I actually posted on topic shit in this thread, you just swoop in to do your usual schtick

lads

love Pop

it is cool that there's one sports league where you can openly shit on the President

theres no MAGA dudes at a basketball game

or at least rather few. there are all those luxury boxes you know.

eh they always leave in the 3rd

Lol

The Pacers are still located in Indiana IIRC

at some point very soon trump/the hardcores are going to find themselves in a corner where the only options are to back down or straight-up murder a bunch of civilians in plain view of everyone. neither are likely to go over well
