I have an expectation that this will happen.

More blood on trumps tiny hands.

Clear as day.

DOJ needs to get on this, NOW.

Oh, who am I kidding? Merrick Garland won't do a thing.

We should be dusting off some old law books.


The south may rise again, but it will also be put down again.

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

How about a superseding indictment to add these charges? This is insurrection, as clear as anything. Not just against the government, it's also against the Constitution and it's against the recent SCOTUS ruling. Add this charge and he's absolutely going to be convicted.

I don't think it was meant to be difficult to understand.

The evidence of the crimes is even simpler.

Isn't that pretty much the definition of inciting insurrection? Trump is not going away until he dies, and even then republicans will deify him for decades, even more than Reagan. He's going to be godlike for about a quarter of the U.S. population until someone worse comes along.

I want someone to explain why this isn't a blatant incitement of another insurrection. Does Trump think that his status as "GOP frontrunner" will protect him from yet another indictment? Why are we letting him get away with this?

What did he do in the first one? He gave a speech encouraging people to come to the WH and fight. What's he doing here? He's giving a speech encouraging other states to come to Texas to fight. And, he doesn't mean fight with migrants. He is trying to create an army large enough to cause Biden a big headache.

He doesn't care if any of those American troops get killed or not, any more than he cared if any of the J6 people got hurt, just as long as he gets what HE wants. I think that this matter should be referred to the DOJ for possible indictment against Abbott, Paxton, Trump, and that other guy. Just start making a list.

Everything that Trump touches withers and dies. I wonder how all those guys will feel when they are standing in front of a judge accused of insurrection and obstruction. Is Trump worth it? Destroy your future for the likes of the Orange Turd?

an invitation to start a. Civil war from the traitor and insurrectionist in chief? Lock him up!

fucking COWARD

He's acting as if he's still president.

Thinking there are some legal issues with his advocacy for insurrection again.

Ultimately this is going to backfire on him and the maga republicans.

IMO a strong majority of voters don't agree with this, which is essentially a re-igniting of the Civil War. This will bite the repugs in November.

Or Bannon and Miller.

like when he recently mixed up Nancy Pelosi and Haley.

I was just talking a friend about is trump will again avoid debating, likes he's done against the other maga republicans. We're wondering how he's going to try to weasel out of debating Joe Biden?

I don't know how, but his handlers know he can't go on a debate stage as he can hardly keep his thoughts straight now.

And the Confederacy lost. No, you don't get to make up your own laws.

He's even been overseas to "talk" and "negotiate" with foreign leaders, since we kicked him out of the WH. Isn't that fraudulently impersonating a president? Lord knows, he wants the honorific spoken each time someone addresses him. To him, it's more than just an archaic, polite way to refer to someone who once held the office. Like everything else, *rump abuses this tradition... and in so doing, makes it confusing as to who, in fact, IS running the country. What deals has he made behind our backs with what countries for "when" he "gets back into office?" I remember when this kind of thing was so frowned upon, we actually brought back legislators who walked too far over the federal line.

Between *rump doing things like this, and Abbott and De Santis ruling their states like mini-fiefdoms, separate from the U.S. (except for taking the federal money, of course), they're on a trajectory to force us into a true constitutional crisis. In fact, to my mind, Abbott already has put us there by ignoring federal law and the supreme court. We have to start reining in these mini-dictators and indicting them for insurrection... each and every one of them. Otherwise, I fear the states are going to break apart just by default. Never mind an official declaration of secession. We're letting them get away with way too much. The time to put a stop to it was a couple of years back, right after the WH insurrection. Now it's going to be so much harder, and probably cost way too much in heartache and manpower.

The orange gibbon is asking STATE governors to send NATIONAL GUARD members down to another STATE to aid that STATE in interfering with NATIONAL Border Agents and troops who are doing what we are supposed to be doing for the NATIONAL immigration policies while they refuse to pass any legislation that will aid our NATIONAL efforts to gain better control over the border.

Gotcha, rethugs!

not just 'day one'. Does Dump think he's the Second Coming?

in the United States on day one.

Amass all the neo-Confederates in one place and dispatch all of them. Maybe we can convince them to have Cadet Bonespurs lead the assault.

Will proudly lead the way in his golf cart.

WV might give you a run on that. Justice is jonesing so hard to be senator that he’s likely to use his power as governor to send troops. Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

The ONLY way a National Guard unit can legally cross a state line is if it's been federalized by the President of the United States.

Upon federalization the affected unit loses its authority to conduct law enforcement operations.

And last I checked former presidents don't get to order anything except all those damned Quarter Pounders he eats.

National Guard units routinely travel between states for training purposes, and states have all sorts of agreements with one another allowing for assistance with emergencies without Federalization of the troops. While active duty and reserve units are restricted, the National Guard works for their state governor as the state militia, and one state governor can absolutely authorize other state troops to enter in the state and do whatever.

Here's a press release from TX from last August: http://tinyurl.com/bdn4ndmm
Several states sent guard units and police to assist Texas with stopping immigrants in the exact same place, and they weren't federalized. It was (of course) called "Operation Lone Star".

This is after a SCOTUS ruling saying the NG can't block federal agents.

especially when the courts have clear and recent orders saying not to. I was just clarifying the earlier post wasn't correct regarding Guard units operating in other states. Details matter, especially if we're talking legal issues.

Bottom line is who is funding the out of state units? Every major command, be it Active, Reserve or Guard, has a spending budget which flows down to individual units. As to the NG,, If a state did not previously budget for out of state support it would be up to the host state to fund them. At least in a sane, non-republican world. So if TX is not funding the out of state units, then it's up to the supporting states to fund their troops.

More cost to the state taxpayers with zero benefits. Pretty screwed up.

He can't have it both ways, the moron.

and all his minions listen to him and say "Yes Sir"

That asshole Justice will do anything to be senator

Thank you for pointing it out!

Treason ought to lead to consequences fit for traitors. Or the insurrection will keep recurring.

into handcuffs

into a straight jacket

and does not appear to be in any hurry to get home & take control of the situation.

Put his ass in jail for treason against the Constitution.

He’s infected with delusion of grandeur.

against the Government of the United States,
and WITHOUT the "plausible deniability" of 'free speech' rhetoric!

(Not to mention so cavalierly tossing aside the legal decision
of his hand-picked 'Supreme Court' ! )


It is well PAST time for one of the judges to REVOKE his bail for contempt,
and throw that stinky orange traitorous son of a bitch into a CELL---

WITHOUT his 'cell phone'....

I would dearly like to see someone who COULD....

According to Newsweek Abbott has declared himself a wartime leader with powers that supercede the presidents.

The Biden administration's failure to "fulfill the duties imposed by" Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution "has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, "which reserves to this State the right of self-defense," Abbott said.

"For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary," he said.

tRUMP calling on repug state governors be insurrectionists too (and tRUMP too of course).

The Supreme Court, which is considering this very issue, should add this tRUMP-related insurrectionist call out to the state governors for further proof of tRUMP's insurrectionist tendencies. There should be no doubt in anyone's mind about what tRUMP wants.

But If one state sends troops to another, wouldnt that make it a federal issue, and thus throw control of those troops to the Commander in Chief?

Big if.

this is what happens.

For interfering with government function, or something.

Calling on states to fight the Federal government is clearly insurrection and it's clearly why Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was written.

The Confederacy is dead. You assholes lost that war, remember? And your fucking state constitution does not supersede the US Constitution.

The Texas governor is already claiming they are under attack so if additional state militaries are there and the federal government comes in this could be whats sparks a larger event. Not sure if Biden needs this to happen now.

Trump knows that he is setting this up as an us against them super charged environment.

In the real world, none of this is even news in Texas. Everyone take a breath.
