    So are you posting this narrated pic as actually Trumps words or is it fictitious, slanderous and never said?

    So Trump wanted to hear his advisors tell him it would not be a good idea to activate the military to enforce martial law? Is that what they told him because they knew that is what he wanter to hear?

    This thread is nonsense. After nearly an entire year of rioting and antifa thugs trying to burn down a Federal Courthouse night after night, Trump did nothing more than send US Marshalls to protect the courthouse. He called on Governors to mobilize their National Guard to quell riots, but never did anything at all to warrant speculation that he somehow has an iron fist. More fake news.

    When has Trump ever been subtle? He was stoking the fire of civil unrest when he was claiming voter fraud before Election Day. His favorite pastime is creating chaos and division.

    I agree. The Trumpettes are becoming more unstable and dangerous by the day.

    Actually yes. His first instinct is "dictator like", as in, he doesn't think about law as being a guideline. He is also a narcissist. Trump has to be at the center of everything. You can't deny these things. Unfortunately for him, there are others in the government who took their oath seriously, and at some points had to basically tell him that they would say "no" to some of his ideas. Of course, they don't want to do that, so they have figured out to derail some of Trumps worst ideas. He appears to me to be easy to manipulate. I mean c'mon, watch a couple of episodes of "The Apprentice" and tell me it ain't true! He's the reality show, "Donald Trump goes to Washington". He says he hates the media, but he LOVES them, as long as they serve his agenda, but even if not, as long as they are talking about him.

    Some folks are addicted to their own adrenalin. This is how they get their fix.

    Fake News. When your wild fake news claims fail to materialize we are all going to return to this subject and soundly rub your nose in your foolishness like we would a poorly potty trained puppy so that you learn and grow from your foolishness. Fake News Maggie is a well-known fabricator and click-bait whore. You should work to not be so easy.

    That's fine, do just that. I have before said I'll eat humble pie if proven wrong, for example when I predicted the fallout between Fauci and Trump long before it happened. And then there was the stmulus check with Trump's signature on it. Of course, all Trump fans cried "fake news" at the time and said I am suffering of TDS. What happened?

    The issue: There have been sooo many things that people said Trump would never do, because they are so far out there. And then Trump did just that. So, if I were you, I'd be careful sticking my neck out.

    Once again Trump supporters need to rationalize/explain/interperet what Trump says. Any talk of that type is unpatriotic at best !!! Gen Flynn should have a star removed for such language. !!!!!

    Trump is irrational, period !!!!

    So, if it were proven that the "fiction" was actually true, and the conversation about martial law did happen in the oval office, would you pull your support for Trump?

    It would be surprising for Democrats to be self-critical at this time, considering that a vast majority of voters have just elected Joe Biden at least until 2024....

    That is not what happened in Portland, and I suspect you know it.
    Talking rationally with the far right I have found to be an exorcise in futility.
    Sending in the feds made the situation in Portland much much worse. they violated so many Constitutional rights had it happened to the right wing they would still be having fits over it!
    Unmarked vans, unmarked, unidentified agents snatching citizens off the street for no reason, never identifying themselves, unlawful search and seizures, unlawful detainment and then dumping citizens miles from where they were snatched with no charges and no explanations.
    Think about that, if that had been done to the wannabe's that stormed the capital in MI, how much of a FIT would the rightists be having right now months later?

    History shows that 'putting down' protests only make them worse.

    Just looked out the door - no armed militia for as far as the eye can see.

    Yeah - Fake News.

    President Trump has never considered doing that either.

    That never happened. The agents in question wore identification that showed they were law enforcement.

    That is not true. The first few days they were completely unmarked. Once that was pointed out they added a very small number, which meant nothing to anyone not in LE.
    They kidnapped Americans off the street for weeks. Why are you OK with that?

    Even dictators have "advisors". Stalin did but when Stalin did not agree with or not like their advice or the advice went wrong the advisors got an all expense paid vacation in Siberia or e firing squad.

    I said earlier that Trump wants to be careful not being seen as the instigator of civil unrest.
    That kind of treasonous behavior could put him in jail for a long time.
    That's why he has been, shall we say, restrained in his language.
    'Stand back and stand by'.

    So I think, if Trump plans a revolt as a means to stay in power, he might wait as long as possible.
    Perhaps until only days before Biden's inauguration.

    If civil unrest fails to materialise he can still flee the White House in his helicopter.
    But if Trump calls for it NOW, and it fails, his goose is cooked. And he might only leave the White House in a prison van.

    Crazy idea or perhaps not...?

    A simple embarrassment would be an improvement.

    Woah!!! Another “person” said they overheard Trump saying “something”!!! Wonder if Twitter will cancel anyone’s accounts for spreading unverified news?

    Naaaaah. It’s something bad about Trump someone made up. That’s perfectly acceptable. Only unverified news about Biden gets cancelled and censored.

    I wish I made that up but sadly our tech industry is officially propaganda arms of Biden now, much like the MSM.

    If Trump did such, activated the EO, Insurrection Act, whatever, I'd be unhappy.

    But why in the F would LW be unhappy? It validates everything you all post here day after day after day after day and have for four years!

    Unless you are in fact scared of something. Hmmm.
