Democrats are already plotting treason for when Trump is elected

An excerpt:

Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

“We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to,” said Mary McCord, executive director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law.

Part of the aim is to identify like-minded organizations and create a coalition to challenge Trump from day one, those taking part in the discussions said. Some participants are combing through policy papers being crafted for a future conservative administration. They’re also watching the interviews that Trump allies are giving to the press for clues to how a Trump sequel would look.

Other participants include Democracy Forward, an organization that took the Trump administration to court more than 100 times during his administration, and Protect Democracy, an anti-authoritarian group.

“We are preparing for litigation and preparing to use every tool in the toolbox that our democracy provides to provide the American people an ability to fight back,” said Skye Perryman, president of Democracy Forward. “We believe this is an existential moment for American democracy and it’s incumbent on everybody to do their part.”

America’s commander-in-chief has vast powers at his disposal — some well-known, others not so much. Some lawmakers and pro-democracy advocates worry there may be nothing stopping a president from mobilizing the military to intervene in elections, police American streets or quash domestic protests.

Wary of Trump’s staying power — he is running about even with President Joe Biden in the polls — Democratic lawmakers already known to be adversarial to Trump are working on a parallel track.

Among the least-understood tools available to a president is the Insurrection Act. Vaguely worded, it gives a president considerable discretion in deciding what constitutes an uprising and when it is OK to deploy active-duty military in response, experts say.

Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill worry that Trump might invoke the act to involve the armed forces in the face of domestic protests or if the midterm elections don’t go his way.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is crafting a bill that would clarify the act and give Congress and the courts some say in its use. Its chances of passage are slim given that Republicans control the House and are largely loyal to Trump.

“There are an array of horrors that could result from Donald Trump’s unrestricted use of the Insurrection Act,” Blumenthal said in an interview. “A malignantly motivated president could use it in a vast variety of dictatorial ways unless at some point the military itself resisted what they deemed to be an unlawful order. But that places a very heavy burden on the military.”

Damn right we are! Just keep telling your camp that

NBC is literally admitting to a group plotting treason. And they you are admitting to being an accessory to it.

Do trump supporters ever just take a deep breath and ask themselves why the overwhelming majority of well-adjusted adults everywhere hate the fucking guy? Do they ever just look at his behavior and realize why he's constantly fighting off lawsuit after lawsuit, and criminal indictment after criminal indictment?

Of course they don't, but if it wasn't a true cult, they might take a moment for some analysis and reflection. Instead, they're hellbent on destroying democracy for this guy.

Pathetic losers would rather destroy America by worshiping a criminal traitor than honestly asses the situation.

It's not always Trump they are fighting for in at least 50% of cases, it's the fact that they hate anything from the DEMs, hence the gaslighting "leftist, communists, and socialists" or worse - name calling.

They got their FOX / BREITBART script and they are sticking to it.

As a matter of fact they've added this little ditty, " What the Dems are going to do after Trump is elected", to keep stoking the fires and ginning up the base.

Hell Fox News constantly talks about how Trump will be persecuted afterward he would win, and that Joe biden's going to drop out before the race even starts.

You can't spin "conspiracy" better than Fox and conservatives. It's in their DNA. But then again it would have to be to elect an asshole like Trump.

You know why right berry? He is a treasonous. Remember maybe you for got three years ago, hundreds of people got hurt, hundreds of people went to jail, 5 people got killed. One woman had to be shot when they told her to stand down from entering the congressional chambers.

So yes he is a treasonous. If the republican judges he appointed didn't take care of him, he would already be in jail.

And you somehow think this is ok ???

Will you also be ok with mass riots by the leftists of such a scale that only the National Guard can contain them ?

How would you feel if you child got killed being a guard at the capitol that the soon to be ex President knowingly lost an election by over 7 million votes and telling all his crazy's to storm the capitol and fight like hell.

I bet you would want every normal person to do everything possible to stop him from being in power again. You should have watched the trials on TV and you would have heard all the republicans telling exactly what happened.

Your Maga's are causing what is going to happen. We only have one law not two. Trump is not above the law and the people need to take over.

Thank you once again for confirming how Democrats are willing to commit treason and destroy democracy and how you support doing so.

I guess laws do not matter to leftists. You are willing to commit treason. You are willing to destroy democracy. All because someone you do not support will be elected President by the voters. Think about what you are saying and supporting. Seriously.

BTW - I am not answering your question on a prohibited subject here. And there were no "trials" on TV. Unless you are referring to the fake soviet show trial propaganda the leftists in the House put out for their gullible and ill informed voters

This place would be a better place if fellow members stopped saying 'Aha! You admit it, don't you!'


People are quite literally saying 'no, you!' to every rebuke and legitimate argument.



Cody never said that he is supporting treason. We all need to stop projecting onto others. It's unbecoming of us as adults here.

I'll break it down because this is a rather long run-on sentence.

There is a network of public interest groups and lawmakers, who are nervous about Trump's potential return to power.
They are quietly devising plans to foil any effort Trump makes to pressure the U.S. military to carry out his political agenda.

How the heck do you get 'plotting treason' out of this? If Trump gave the order to launch a nuke when he was in office, and the generals who do the checks and balances refuse by saying 'Sir we can't nuke another country, we would suffer retaliation. We refuse your unlawful order and declaration of war'
That isn't treason! You are thinking the the POTUS has a god given unquestionable authority to do whatever he wants. Our country is built off of checks and balances. All they are doing is trying to prevent Trump, who has already said he is open to being a dictator, from... actually using the military to turn our democratic republic into an actual dictatorship.


Unless you believe that the POTUS actually has the right to use the military to carry out his political agenda? What the fuck?
Please, explain yourself.

Thread is not about Jan 6th please move on.

Why are NBC News and leftists supporting undermining the U.S. Constitution and committing treason?
