Last time this happened, the president (of South Korea) was impeached, suspended, arrested, and charged with insurrection.
Look, I can dream, okay?

Basically a test to see if he can get away with calling for martial law.
I bet the cops fucking love this
slowly building their support so he will have fewer defectors when he declares full martial law.
Why would he declare martial law? Are there experts warning about this? If so, then who?
he's been announcing his intent to stay in the White House after his 4 years. Martial law would be one way to achieve that.

He said the same thing the last time he was president. He's full of shit.
I mean...he did incite a violent insurrection at the Capitol in a bid to overturn his election loss.
I think the key difference this time is that he can't legally continue to be president after this term's up, so things like martial law become the only way to actually accomplish it. He could bank on re-election before. He can't now.
I don't know if I'm ready to say he will do this, but it is unfortunately within the realm of possibility, and significantly moreso than it was in 2020. (Also, January 6th happened.)
Is he that scared of Eptein information coming out that he's going to occupy American cities to get the media to forget?
I'm like 99% sure he's doing this to have control over DC law enforcement so that when he does some absolutely outrageous thing that will cause a mass riot he'll be ready to crush it. :/
Yes, but it can be two things.
Remember, he's not only a demented rapist fraud, he’s also a tool of russia.
No, that is the distraction, so you can keep talking about the files while he occupies American cities.
Wake up.
There's fun scene in burn notice where they fill a can with thermite (aluminum and rust), put in on a gangster's hood and make him watch it burn through his engine block. This was pre drones and shit. Doesn't have much to do with this you just reminded me.
Firestarter? Hey, hey, hey
Are you saying that you're a fire starter, twisted fire starter.
It's really a sign of the times that "Removed by moderator" is quickly becoming a stand in for the call to action we all know is long overdue.
Nowhere in my comment did I call for violence 🤷♂️ the mods must have a direct line to big balls or something
You absolutely were (though I disagree with it being removed)
It would be horrible if they ramped up the rate at which they're doing it in DC.
Sarcasm isn't a magic cloak of deniability.
What? I'm sorry you believe you can detect sarcasm through text, but that's only possible through assumptions and projection. My comment very literally is against it.
Did the author die, or was it murder?
Sarcasm and irony can both be expressed through text, and neither require projection or assumption (beyond that required to establish basic context (like language)) when written or when expressed verbally. Why are you trying to pretend that's not the case, when the whole of the written canon is full of thousands of years of ample examples to the contrary?
But I wasn't being sarcastic, so your detector is clearly faulty? I'm not sure what to tell you except that you made false assumptions. You can either accept that or you can believe you are all knowing, lol
Sure and if you claimed anything different, you'd risk being banned. I get it. It's transparent, but I get it. Keep on dodging if you like, I'm certainly not trying to wring a confession out of you, just point out that the removal was justified and that you're going to have to try harder if you want to actually convince anyone.
Careful Lemmy mods will randomly ban you across multiple communities if you hurt their feelings.
Reminder that police who do not identify themselves are not police.
It is legal to kill in self defense or defense of others if unidentifiable people are trying to abduct people off the street.
It's moral to do so even
It may be legal on paper or by social media lawyers but courts and federal judges will be quick to ignore all that shit. Also I don't know about you but me pulling out an EDC to defend against a team of highly trained and equipped like they are taking a stroll through Baghdad Red Zone circa 2007 seems like unfavorable odds for me. I like living sometimes.
Equipped, yes. Trained, likely not.
No one wants to die, everyone needs to make the right decisions for themselves, and for legal reasons I would never advocate for violence.
However...

...turned out to be a bit of a surprise for the world's most powerful military.
Don't need to be well armed. Just smart and patient.
FYI - He tried this in Portland last time:
Bonus: The guy in charge of it, Chad Wolf (not making that up) had been illegally appointed and had no authority:

He tested it in California, now is going after DC. Next will be New York until eventually he will get to all states.
Remember that it is much easier to stop 1 10,000 people protest than 10 1,000 people protests.
If you wanna crack down on crime in DC, start with the biggest criminal in the whitehouse
Those quarter pounders need to get to work on those capillaries
Tf? Is it 1936 over there or what?
If the DC police just storm the Whitehouse and supreme Court, and publicly execute every Trump cronie they come across I think they'll find some really nice bonuses under the tree this year
Christ, he called out the statues again.
He and his racist base are just so butthurt about statues. So he's going to occupy a city to....1. protect racist statues, 2. go after the homeless, and 3. remove slums.
My dad (RIP) became nuts over civil war statues. I don't remember him ever saying anything hot/cold fora long time one way or another about the Confederacy even though we lived near Shiloh Military Park. We talked about Civil War kind of stuff normally for years, but then all of a sudden he was 100% white hot on Civil War statues and would not entertain anything but total agreement. He would slam the phone down on me and then call right back to chew me out if I didn't instantly and fully agree with what he was saying about they are part of our history and should be protected. He'd park in front of the county courthouse to make sure that nothing happened to the statue there. I felt like he was acting the same way that I did when I was a dumb idiot and getting mad about all the wrong things.
Title makes it sound like the DC police are a bunch of pussies and trump grabbed them
Didn't even declare martian law first.
Basically the Pedo Party are following in Hitler's footsteps and once again the world is gonna let it happen till a giant ass worthless ww starts
Over an ugly fat addled pedophile with a tiny dick and low IQ...
@Davriellelouna My first thought when Trump said this was that he pardoned the Jan 6 insurrections who spit on the very same DC and Capitol police officers.
He’s seized the country’s capital.
Seriously? Us citizens just shrug. Americans deserve all they get.
Live free or die, my ass!
They appear to have collectively picked option B?
It’s just going to take a little while.
Sure, storm the Capitol against the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen! Your 9mm and 12 gauge shotgun will surely make a dent and you won't just die for the 9pm news cycle.
Stay alive till an organized resistance is formed. Sure it might be awhile, but you won't die and be forgotten in 6 hours when something else pops.
There will be no one left to resist
Good lord, this has to be the most distracting of all distractions to ever distraction. Amazing.
Those are about to be the highest-paid and most poorly-trained cops in the country.
edit: is the oniony? I don’t know anymore.
No.
Hes cleansing the streets so when leaders come to his stupid new ballroom, they won't see the realities of life in DC. Also see what Beijing and Paris did during the Olympics.
Countering this is what the militia were supposed to be for, why the US was never supposed to have a standing Army, and why the National Guard is not an appropriate substitute for the militia.
