9. The worst thing for Trump would be to TRY to put in place martial law

Thu Jun 11, 2026, 02:20 PM

Thursday

AND FAIL to have a significant fraction of the military support him.

They really are not at all Dan Bongino knock-offs.

I don't really think Trumps administration wants to be present as unwanted, essentially tourist protestors in cities where they try to enforce the unpopular order that would be.

It would be Minneapolis upped a couple of orders of ten. Of course, we must remember that the revolution started with a riot (boston massacre) and although not much taught in public schools, this nation has a reoccurring bend into rebellion in the face of what was seen as authoritarian over-reach
