Just under half the presidents in sitting history have invoked the insurrection act in some form.

I love how all of the Panicans and "principled conservatives" around here like to act like the insurrection act is some sort of unprecedented thing that can only be used in the most dire of circumstances while they watch the entire establishment throw every dirty trick in the book at subverting the rule of law and the duly elected POTUS while ignoring that it has been invoked by nearly half of all POTUSes throughout our history.

Which will make the ensuing melt from the left and the Fake MAGA iNfLuEnCeR class that much more delicious when he pulls the trigger on invoking it and we finally see shite get biblical.

I think that is the plan, VD. The corrupt Judiciary MUST be neutralized along with the Urban ‘warlord’ “sanctuary “ cities which determine elections. That cannot happen within a system that is rotten to the core.

This Board has known this for ten years; that is why they hammered it via censorship back when. A shot across the bow as it were. Now the pendulum has swung and the hunter has become the hunted. And it is not going back as the Military takes front stage.

This is what happens when people lie and cheat. Even delusional people.

So what are the specifics on this?

He's going to invoke the IA for cities that have had crime decreasing since 2023? Is this specifically limited to ICE/DHS operations for deportations?

Make me want to puke. Mainly because when you ask them to identify their principles - they can’t. The “way it’s usually done” is not a fricking principle. It’s chickenshit.

He knows those stats were bogus and they’ve been proven as much, but one thing about slo…. He NEVER admits he was wrong.

We do need specifics.

But what we always get is vagueness and runaway ambiguity as usual. By design. "Insurrection" broadly defined can be a license to flex over any words or actions deemed a "threat to national security".

Good questions.

Assume the widened expansion of Police-State Powers.

I may or may agree with you -- but your assessment is ambiguous and has no context.

So...What IS a "conservative"? And what principle seems to be bogus or feigned?

Yep, this President is NOT afraid to use the Insurrection Act. That's why I'm really concerned they're going to make an all attempt to assassinate him again. Especially now that President Trump has shown no fear of using Donroe Doctrine to blunt the spread of communism into this country. No secret Venezuela was a communist staging area for movement north.

IMO they'll empty their terrorist cells in an attempt to "Get Trump". All to the delight of the demoncrats in Congress and the MSM.

We are particularly blessed that at this time in our history, God has sent us a Mighty Leader to lead us against these Communist demons. It will NOT be an easy fight, but a necessary one if we are to save this 250 year experiment in self-government for our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

THE battle of our time.
