So let me get this straight. Trump called out the CA National Guard in L.A. but he blocked the use

… of the D.C. National Guard via acting Sec. of Defense Christopher Miller who gave a stand down
order 2 days before Jan. 6, 2021 extremely violent and illegal storming of the Capitol Building by
Trump’s MAGA supporters who believed his lies that the election was stolen from him in 2020.

This is a dictatorship kind of thing.

BTW I believe Trump and Stephen Miller don’t really care about illegal immigrants but
want to provoke violence so they can declare martial law.

Trump knows he lost in 2016, 2020, and in 2024 and he and Miller, Bannon, Bondi,
Noem, and that bag of hair the Senator from Tennessee are all in on killing Americans
who disagree them.

All it took was a few shouting latinas and some kids throwing rocks at speeding goon mobiles. Violence my living ass.

Capitol Police on Jan 6th. They paid out $5 million to traitor Ashley Babbit's family. The Proud Boys want $100 million for destroying the Capitol and assaulting police.

trump wants to declare martial law. He wants to become a stronger dictator than Xi, Putin, or any other RWNJ.
I say Fuck him! He needs to disappear and once again, I don't give a shit how.

When his white trash was close to killing capitol police officers and tearing up the place he sat and did nothing but when he is called on his racist deportation scheme we bring out the national guard.

What Trump is doing now is to finish his coup.

This is a continuation of J6.
