Yeah. I can't think of any reason a domestic law enforcement agency should ever need guided missiles...especially not for an agency specifically tasked with enforcing civil violations. This is as ridiculous as giving tanks to the IRS.
Well, when your plan is to declare martial law and take over, it’s important to have the right equipment for crushing insurgents. It won’t take much, because most US citizens will fall in line after one or two missiles explode.
Why wouldn't they just use the military's at that point? If the military isn't on board then they will crush ICE easy peasy even if ICE has military hardware.
Because martial law is the legal way. It gives local power to the military and it overrides the state government. You see how the states bend over for him. A judge can’t “postpone” martial law (I’m guessing).
Weapons to locals Trump troops, meetings with military generals, kicking the press out of the pentagon, I’m sure there’s lots I’m forgetting.
Everything he’s doing now is testing the water to see if we panic—and we just say “you mean! Where are the Epstein files?” And he waves his hand and distracts us from his literal weaponized takeover.
He wasn’t joking we he said we would never have to vote again. It’s called project 2025, not 2026
Did you know that the SS started out as hall security at party events?
