Not to get anyone riled up, but uh, it looks like Trump is moving forward with those early instructions.
I think this is just repeating what was shown in the notes, not that it's actually happening.

Well, shit.
Trump's pretty stupid, but after the capitol backlash, I think he knows that trying anything right now would fail spectacularly and push him further toward conviction in the senate.I think this is just repeating what was shown in the notes, not that it's actually happening.
Yeah. It's not completely impossible, but in all likelihood he has no path here.Trump's pretty stupid, but after the capitol backlash, I think he knows that trying anything right now would fail spectacularly and push him further toward conviction in the senate.
Can someone remind me why this asshat is acting like a high level presidential advisor ?
I totally get it, here's a couple Twitter threads to read to help calm your nerves:
(Mike Dunford also has several other Tweet threads this afternoon that you can look through that should also help.)
Step 1: Make a pillow
Step 2: Help Overthrow a government through violent insurrection and martial law.
Step 3: Profit
Thanks. I'm stuck at work trying not to break down. Really looking forward to January 20th coming and going.
Trump will not succeed.Thanks. I'm stuck at work trying not to break down. Really looking forward to January 20th coming and going.
Antifa switched out the notes.
Same energy as Trump, guess why they like each other.
Man, imagine if those documents weren't photographed, we could have had a full blown insurrection in the next few days.

no we wouldn't. Trump cannot suspend the constitution even with "martial law"
I'm sure most of you thought people wouldn't actually storm the Capitol building a few weeks ago, but look what happened.
I don't count out Trump trying anything in his last few hours. If he doesn't get what he wants in the end, it would cause hell for a few days.
People storming the capital was entirely possible, but they wouldn't have magically given Trump the power to suspend the constitution either and the process completed.
there is no avenue for suspending the constitution. What would Trump do? As stated by others, even the insurrection act only allows the military to uphold civilian law and support police. Biden is president on Wednesday no matter what Trump says or does.
and immediately in Wednesday the military (as acknowledged by the top generals) answers to Biden.
No. Never qualify any "trump is stupid but-" statement. He doesn't learn, he can't read a room, he has no awareness of the reality around him, he doesn't understand the gravity of his actions or gravity in general, and he's so bone-shatteringly stupid that there's no longer a fitting comical analogy to compare it to, so in the future people will have to use him to conclude these jokes.Trump's pretty stupid, but after the capitol backlash, I think he knows that trying anything right now would fail spectacularly and push him further toward conviction in the senate.
Because it's written on the actual paper what they're discussing- martial law, installing a stooge at the CIA to get things done, etc.this is... comically stupid. why are there posts in this thread treating it as anything remotely serious?

Lindell said he gave POTUS this document & also provided to me. Said, falsely, it was clear Biden lost and Trump won — by 11 million votes. Said the truth would one day come out. After meeting with WH lawyers, who he said weren't interested, he wasn't let back in to see POTUS.

The generals don't really have to do anything, because I'm pretty sure the Posse Comitatus Act prevents Trump from directing the military to interfere with in law enforcement without congressional approval he very much will not receive.Serious question:
If Trump tries to implement martial law can the generals just say no?
