Oh you know he can't WAIT do do this.

Yes that is coming

tahitiguy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think we all know Trump and Musk will not hesitate to do this.

No way am I going to let those 2 wackos take over Canada and make us the 51 state. GO CANADA GO.

My dude, Canada declared an illegal state of emergency and froze protestor bank accounts.

bennyking9.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes. Those so many accounts belonged to only a handful of people who were gaining money through unlawful means. It was declared unlawful by the Canadian Supreme Court. Where are the protesters now that Trump is talking trash? So much for those tough freedom fighters

sheonabelle.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s untrue - our government froze bank accounts of over 200 people, including accounts of people who simply donated to the cause. This had nothing to do with money gained through unlawful means.

The protest was over vaccine mandates in Canada. What does this have to do with Trump?

bennyking9.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sorry. It was 200 accounts. Most belonged to a handful of people. I know many people who donated who were not affected. Give me a name. I don't fall for bullshit. Funny how they smoked cigarettes and did blow but wouldn't take a needle

Soon to be firing army brass and replacing them with "psychophants".

First step in declaring martial law against citizens? I see it coming.

firstflight.bsky.social•2 days ago

They will stir up demonstrations , then declare martial law, then try to start the race war they’ve been dreaming about for years. Buckle up…

With recent confirmations the use of marital law is no longer an improbable or impossible outcome.
Protest must remain peaceful even in the event of provocation and verbal sabotage.

stir up civil unrest => martial law => suspension of constitution => instalment of xsto nazi party (previously known as @gop) dictatorship - RIP USA

Travel would be severely restricted. Peaceful assembly, you can forget about that too. Harsh actions by the 'administration' would precipitate a global depression.

Yep I’ve been saying this since before the election. He wants to outrage us so we protest in the streets. This gives him reason to declare Martial law, suspend constitution and then he’s got his kingdom. I feel so helpless.

duhthinker.bsky.social•2 days ago

I honestly think this is why there have been few protests so far. We all know what he wants to do.

We are now living in 1939 Nazi Germany.

Every modern president uses executive orders and emergency power. Their mere existence isn’t a sign of autocracy. If the concern is about specific policies being authoritarian, the argument should focus on those policies, not just the fact that they exist.

fordavi.bsky.social•2 days ago

Rick, tick, tick. The time is coming.

wisedisscus.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's coming. Trump and Musk are itching to invoke the martial law against protesters now that Hegseth, Bondi, and Patel are in place to weaponize federal law enforcement agencies and the military to protect Trump's and Musk's destruction of the government.

feraljoe.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh yeah. They will got for some kind of a Reichstag event. I

neverforgetjan6.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yup, exactly what Trump is waiting to declare and his militia is locked and loaded just waiting for the word - going to be sooner than anyone is expecting for the element of surprise - wake up people!!

dennis-moore.bsky.social•1 day ago

Three this week?
Or did I miss some?
