How can they have a military tribunal for someone who was never in the military?

It’s going to be alright everyone. The Biden campaign stated that Biden will not expand the courts. Why? Because when we go high they fuck us in the ass with a cactus.

The man is literally telling us what he’s going to do. Is the message not clear enough? Is it not loud enough? Is it not violent enough? How ingrained is American Exceptionalism exactly? What’s it going to take America?

The people who can stop this are sufficiently privileged that they don’t feel they’ll be affected by Trump, and/or they hate paying taxes more than theyre worried about fascism.

They’re also oblivious to history, both recent (Nazi Germany and the Night of the long knives) and modern day (Putin’s Russia, and the fate of oligarchs who crossed him)

What’s it going to take?

I think you know the answer.

Get your guns, beans, and gasoline.

They want to hurt us. It’s the common denominator for many.

The other stuff is noise. Porn stars, confidential papers, fraud, none of that matters. Because it doesn’t matter.

It’s the backlash. We weather it or we don’t.

Oh man. Trump plans on going full dictator if given the chance.

A military tribunal or commission is most usually used to refer to a court that asserts jurisdiction over persons who are members of an enemy army, are held in military custody, and are accused of a violation of the laws of war…. Military tribunals also, generally speaking, do not assert jurisdiction over people who are acknowledged to be civilians who are alleged to have broken civil or criminal laws. However, military tribunals are sometimes used to try individuals not affiliated with a particular state’s military who are nonetheless accused of being combatants and acting in violation of the laws of war.
