    he wants the country to be ‘at war’ so all those wartime laws that give him more power come into affect. he can lockdown the entire country and claim that when a democrat sneezes its a national security issue, and oh look at that, this ancient law says he can lock citizens up.

    that and he is a literal russian asset destabilizing the united states on behalf of putin.

    thats my guess.

      Seems like he could do that way more easily on our Southern border.

      Send a helicopter to shoot at cartels near the border, wait until they finally shoot back. Send a mission deep into Mexico to attack the cartels and wait for the inevitable blow back.

      Thats not a guess, thats a valid prediction based on the facts that we already know.

      I agree with your prediction 100%, and add to it: When HitlerPig starts his war, whether in Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama, etc., he will call for a draft. In the past, there were deferments for those in college, or with good political connections, and those will still be in effect, but with restrictions. If you have student loans, you will be eligible for the draft. Only college students who have the money to pay cash for their college education will be deferred. That way the rich kids get out of it, but the poor and middle class still go. Only Republican connections will count for deferments, and even then only those who make substantial campaign contributions.

      Anyone caught protesting will be drafted. Dissidents and critics will be drafted. Criminals will be drafted. Prisoners will be drafted. Age will not be a consideration, and you can be drafted even if you are retired. Basically, anyone they don’t like will be drafted.

      Of course, declaring a draft for a highly unpopular war will cause even more protests, where even more people can be detained and drafted.

      I will declare this right now: There is absolutely no way I will allow my son to be drafted to fight in a MAGA war, for any reason.

        What you describe is the least effective army that can be assembled. Not saying they wouldn’t try, mind you… But that’s not a group you give guns and put into a battlefield.

          Obviously, MAGA isn’t concerned with competence, just look at the people that they replaced competent leaders with.

          They wouldn’t care anyway. They are the types to just throw as many people at a front line as they can get. Kapo Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has said that he wants to reduce our population from 335 million, to 100 million rich white people. A war that kills millions of middle class/poor people plays right into that plan.

      I agree with a lot of that, but Trump is such an idiot, I can’t imagine Putin would trust him enough to coordinate that closely. Maybe if it’s just sheer manipulation. This is the weirdest fucking timeline.

      I can’t fucking believe it. Trump is taking over DC police, preparing for the inevitable civil backlash. Are all of those assholes really going to fight for him?

      I legitimately have to worry that on my anniversary trip TSA is going to go through my phone and perhaps decide I’m a traitor for anti-Trump sentiment. I guess if I disappear in April and no one hears from me again you’ll know what happened.
