They need a 9/11 style support for war.
They want this.
But irans plan is literally laid out. They're doing everything they e said they'd do.
They're going to fuck us economically. It's going to get wild unless something wilder happens. Neither is good.
If there was another 9/11, Trump wouldn't be able to decide whether it was bad because America was attacked or good because he doesn't like New York City.
Likewise, a global economic crisis might also be the point. Would undermine China’s trade and growth, would help fascist parties in the west and give Trump an excuse to cancel or rig the elections because of a ‘crisis’
Here comes another 9/11 and Oct7 to make things worse.
From another post I made: “ I don’t think another 9/11 will unite Americans how they’re thinking it will this time. I can imagine he thinks that there will be a grand incident in the US and everyone will unite behind him as our savior to stomp down the “big baddie” and he’ll be looked at as a hero.
That’s not gonna work this time. He’s too hated and will be looked at as the one who caused it and fracture even more. You can’t play that card twice. ”
I hope so.
Dude elections aren’t going to be canceled. That idiot can try but states do what they want by design.
People need to stop saying this, or at least say every time that they can try it but it’s not going to work.
It can't happen here.
-Person to whom it will happen.
You're still assuming that legality means anything to them. So far, they have been trying to maintain a fig leaf of legitimacy, but that could change at any point. If the military obeys Trump's illegal orders, he can override or ignore any law, up to and including the Constitution. Laws only have meaning if they are enforced. That has not been happening for a while now.
Trump has the capability to send troops to seize state capitals, or to bomb them, or to arrest state governors and legislators. We all hope he won't, but what is going to prevent it if he tries?
They gave someone on a terrorist watch list a VISA just sona CI could never leave his side till the FBI picked him up for an "assassination plt" the CI planned and the guy on the list wasn't even into.
The only thing crazier than that, would be thinking it wasn't done once.
