Trump is right about the enemy within, the military should be used

[daveman]

False of course.

That's what the military does.

That's why we don't use them on american soil.

That's why we have many other huge institutions to keep peace on american soil.

You once again find yourself saying many dumb things, to defend the indefensible.

Like posting pictures of the military giving food to children. Good god man. You're embarrassing yourself.

Yes, trump.means for a violent use for the military. And you'll have to argue otherwise to someone dumber. I'm not interested.

I saw some National Guard Soldiers deployed to a small American town just a couple of weeks ago. They were...GASP!!...directing traffic for a community celebration.

You should call 'em up and tell them they're supposed to be killing people.

 

[daveman]

Sure.

That's what Trump's talking about:

Quelling an insurrection!

Sure.

Your victimhood fetish is strong.

 

[daveman]

He thinks he can and that ALONE is disqualifying

What law says that?

 

[daveman]

Have you never understood how we elect Presidents?

Joe believes that if a Democrat is running, the Democrat should be declared the winner.

 

[daveman]

I know that twice-impeached, feloniously convicted, rape-adjudicated, failed one term former president Trump told you he has nothing to do with Project 2025 but you need to remember that if that motherfucker's lips are moving he's lying.
It's not a good look to just mindlessly parrot things he says.
It makes you look cultish....and dumb.

MY CULT TELLS ME TRUMP ALWAYS LIES SO THERE NEENER NEENER CHECKMAET

You're really not very good at this.

Trump's Remarks on the Military and "Enemy from Within"

Recently, former President Donald Trump made controversial statements suggesting the potential use of the military to address what he refers to as "the enemy from within." This phrase appears to target his political opponents, whom he describes as "radical left lunatics" and "very bad people".

Context of the Statements

In an interview, Trump expressed that he believes the threat posed by this "enemy from within" is more significant than external threats from countries like China or Russia. He indicated that if necessary, he would consider deploying the National Guard or military forces to manage these perceived threats, particularly on Election Day.

Implications and Reactions

These remarks have sparked alarm and criticism, with many interpreting them as incitements to violence against political opponents. Critics have drawn parallels to his previous rhetoric that contributed to the January 6 Capitol riots, suggesting that such statements could further escalate tensions.

So, Trump's comments reflect a continuation of his aggressive political rhetoric, framing his opponents as a domestic threat and suggesting military intervention as a possible response.

==> That depends. Radical left lunatics? They really want the civil war again in America? Think for yourselves, US citizens!

Sources:

Trump suggests he'll use the military on 'the enemy from within' the U.S. if he's reelected

During his first term as president, Donald Trump tested the limits of how he could use the military to achieve policy goals. If given a second term, the Republican and his allies are preparing to go much further, reimagining the military as an all-powerful tool to deploy on U.S. soil.

Harris Blasts Trump For Urging Military Crackdown On ‘Radical Left’ On Election Day: ‘Enemy From Within’

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign said Trump’s words “should alarm every American who cares about their freedom and security.”

Who's going to be President on Election Day?

 

[daveman]

Change it to include what? A 'patriotism' test? And if you fail, you get deported?

The conservative impulse toward authoritarianism is unfortunate.

Most conservatives just want to be left alone.

Most leftists believe they should be able to tell everyone else how to live, despite their own lives being flaming dumpster fires.

 

[daveman]

Of course not. Sorry. You people are far too fragile. Look at the flamboyant, hypersensitive, metrosexual NY City billionaire you adore and follow like Jesus. Holy crap.

More leftist projection. That's really all you're got.

 

[Skylar]

I'm sure that 10 year old child that had a baby raped into her in Ohio, that had to cross into Indiana so she wouldn't have to have her rapist's baby.....was very sympathetic to the idea that 'most conservatives just want to be left alone'.

Your candidate's core electoral philosophy is "I am your retribution". But tell us more about how conservatives 'just want to be left alone'.

Oh boy.
Well Hector, you leave me no choice.
Once again on the forum, here's Uncle Yuri Bezmenov from way back in 1985 to explain the function and extent of communist subversion within the United States throughout the 20th century....

 

[daveman]

The two stupidest things we do in our foreign policy, regardless of who is in charge.

1) Blindly support Israel no matter what horrible shit it does.
2) Needlessly antagonize China over non-issues because we are jealous they are beating us at our own game.

So, you had a situation where a crazy person was doing whatever he could to cling to power in the US, something no one has ever seen before, and the Chinese were legitimately concerned that Trump MIGHT start a war.

Milley calmed them down and said, "No, we have this in hand."

I'm not sure why you guys want a war with China so bad. We couldn't beat Afghanistan, why do you think we can beat China.

We don't want any wars, retard. Unlike Democrats, who love war.

But if we are forced into war, it'd be swell if American military leaders were on America's side.

 

[daveman]

Too bad for them.

They should probably stop calling themselves the "Republic of China" if they don't want to be considered part of China

Yeah! Don't those people know how great it is living under Communism? Freedom's for sissies!

Could you suck Commie Chinese ass any harder?

You're fucking nuts if you think our economy sucks!

Biden/Harris made it more expensive for you to live, and you thank them for it. Pathetic.

 

[daveman]

Can you name a candidate more populate than Harris among democrats? With evidence, please.

Or is the rectal database the extent of your argument?

Her first Presidential run, she got less than 900 votes nationwide in the primaries.

So very popular!

By name please.

 

[daveman]

The ultimate fault line on how someone votes is their level of education. People with higher education, the people Trump calls the radical left, vote overwhelmingly Dem. That's the people Trump sees as the enemy within.

Are you aware that "educated" and "intelligent" are not synonymous?

 

[daveman]

An embarrassing lie meekly attempting to deflect what the poster knows to be true.

It's always funny when someone unable to think for himself insists he knows what others are thinking.

People who don't or won't vote for Orange Shit Bag.

Man, you guys sure do bitterly cling to your victimhood fetish.

No? The trendline is essentially unchanged.
