This is reporting from the WP folks, so it is unlikely to be fictional and a story like this meets journalistic standards and practices. It might be spun a bit by the posters, but it is what it is.


BREAKING: Washington Post drops Sunday morning bombshell, reveals that Trump and his allies are quietly “plotting” to “deploy the U.S. Military to quell potential unrest on Inauguration Day” if Trump wins in 2024.

But it gets WAY worse…

In today’s explosive new report, the Washington Post just unveiled a meticulously detailed plan being hatched behind the scenes by former President Donald Trump and his inner circle. This shocking scheme, to be put into motion if Trump secures a second term, involves leveraging the formidable powers of the federal government to target critics and adversaries.

The most chilling aspect? Discussions are underway about invoking the Insurrection Act on Inauguration Day, a move that could pave the way for the deployment of the military to quash civil demonstrations, plunging the nation into uncharted constitutional territory.

Trump's readiness to unveil a list of individuals deemed ripe for investigation or prosecution, including former officials like John Kelly and William P. Barr, adds a layer of vindictiveness to this unfolding saga. Publicly, Trump has even threatened to appoint a special prosecutor to go after President Biden and his family, despite a stark absence of tangible evidence to substantiate these claims.

However, what raises the most eyebrows and concerns is the concerted effort to dismantle well-established policies that have long separated criminal prosecutions from political considerations. These discussions have triggered widespread alarm, with critics arguing that such actions have the potential to erode the core tenets of democracy and, in some instances, draw alarming parallels to autocratic regimes.

A significant part of this secretive planning has been outsourced to a coalition of right-wing think tanks collectively referred to as "Project 2025." This consortium is hard at work crafting a comprehensive strategy, which includes the deployment of the military domestically under the provisions of the Insurrection Act, a law that has seen minimal use since its last significant revision in 1871.

The Washington Post's revelation comes in the wake of previous instances where Trump's supporters had urged him to employ the Insurrection Act during his first term. In recent public statements, Trump has expressed regret for not taking such drastic action in the past, signifying a willingness to entertain more forceful measures in the future.

This revelation provides a disturbing glimpse into Trump's unwavering determination to seek retribution against his critics, which has become an unmistakable and central theme of his campaign. It underscores the notion that a second term would serve as the ideal platform for settling scores.

He should worry about going to the big house before concerning himself about going to the Whitehouse. Disqualification, even in the primaries, is still on the table too with the Colorado case and the SCOTUS will speak on the primaries, one way or another

His recent public utterances should disqualify him anyway, he is pledging to destroy the constitution and rule of law if elected, having previously sworn to uphold the constitution.

How should you feel about someone who votes to put you in a concentration camp and destroy the US constitution? He already tried to break the constitution once already and has been indicted for it.

Talor Swift has made an impact on politics and is now the target of fascists, someone with the handle of X user @TheButcher_1776 posted and presumably created this fake image. She should be able to sue the bastard for every penny he has or ever will have, she runs a multimillion-dollar business, and this shit causes it financial harm. Perhaps they should inquire as to his motives, I have little doubt he is a magat and has abused her and her public image.
