“…tucked away in section 6B of #Trump’s day-one #ExecutiveOrder declaring a national emergency at the southern border was this pearl… :
‘Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secy of Defense & the Secy of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report…about the conditions … & any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary…, including whether to invoke the #InsurrectionAct of 1807.’”

@Nonilex he is setting this up by causing a depression now… by 4/20 we will be “ready” for martial law, then he will never leave office. this is his plan
He is absolutely itching to do it. As the insurrectionist-in-chief, with an id unchecked by a superego (Freud's language is helpful here), it's just a matter of time.
@CindyWeinstein @Nonilex Do we believe for a second that Rubio will be allowed to recommend anything else?
@CindyWeinstein @Nonilex I hadn't yet but it's in keeping with what we've seen.
Anyone who initially resisted Trump was smart and engaged, when they got compromised all of those assets turned into liabilities for the USA.
@MarvClowder @CindyWeinstein @Nonilex I need to figure out where I crossed my wires, I was under the impression that it was up to State to recommend whether this gets pursued.
State is more international. And Pete and Kristi are more on-board than Marco. Barely.
Republicans in Congress have 90 days to get their act together, or face Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. What to do when the snowball rolling down hill at your village is the size of a castle?
@huntingdon @Nonilex No, it’s 90 days from the EO, which was on 1/20, so it’s like 15 days.
@Nonilex 4/20. Also known as hitler’s birthday.
@Nonilex can us Brits repeat 1812 and burn the White House?
