I am making a very grim prediction

[edhopper]

Sorry to be so dark, but I think this will happen.

Sometime next year there will be a October 7th type of attack over our Southern border. This will allow the GOP Congress to grant Trump the power to let law enforcement detain anybody they deem a "threat". Internment camps will not be far behind.
The attack could be orchestrated by Putin working with the White House.

I hope I am wrong, but I think I am right. Our version of the Reichstag fire.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Personally, I think he will start this shit during his first week in office.

He has already said he will give blanket immunity to the police.

[Tickle]

19. Deputize them not immunity

How do I know this?

[rasputin1952]

22. He does not have that authority.

He may try, but the upswell will crush that notion.

[Mosby]

2. I wouldn't put it past them.

We know there is no bottom for MAGats.

[SomedayKindaLove]

3. He'll need to fix everything in the first few weeks

So he can concentrate on golf.

[bdamomma]

7. Yea

Vance will be the shadow pResident.

[ananda]

4. Wow. What a scenario!

I just don't think like that, but there doesn't
seem to be any low too low for Magats.

First thing we saw in 2016 was families detained
at the border, separated from children, caged and
treated abominably.

So I guess nothing evil is impossible with Trump.

[rasputin1952]

23. Resist!

Openly and loudly, no violence. Make him look like the idiot he is.

[Clouds Passing]

5. I think they're not going to wait until J20, they shirk the law

[bdamomma]

10. Calling martial

law on Jan 20th. I'm still very upset. This should of not have happened.

[brush]

6. A "Reichstag Fire" incident...so to speak, to get a conflict started.

Steven Miller may be planning it right now. trump will be lucky to stay lucid from day to day.

[hunter]

8. I've lived most of my adult life as a minority white guy in the U.S.A. suburbs of Mexico...

...where 40% of school children don't speak English at home.

All hell breaks loose if meat puppets Trump and Vance go there and then the Republican Party eventually dies of malnutrition.

9. MAGA Reichstag Fire

[Blue Full Moon]

11. They have been talking about interment camps for years.

[paleotn]

16. Yea, supposedly Dems putting THEM in internment camps.

That was a whole reich wing meme during Obama's 2 terms. Google FEMA camps. Oh, the irony.

[Blue Full Moon]

31. That's how they tell you what they are planning

[erronis]

12. Illegal crossing from Canada have soared.

https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/illegal-border-crossings-canada-new-york-overwhelm-towns

]Illegal crossings along the 5,250-mile U.S.-Canada border represent a fraction of those that occur along the border with Mexico. But that fraction is growing, as more migrants look northward to what they see as a relatively safer crossing into the United States from Canada.

This year, the numbers of illegal crossings along the northern border have remained as high as they’ve ever been, even as crossings along the southern border have dropped precipitously.

Northern New York, due to its proximity to the Canadian cities of Montreal and Toronto, remains the epicenter of that southbound surge. In August, the most recent month for which data is available, Border Patrol reported 19,000 migrant encounters along the U.S.-Canada border. Of those, 9,200 — nearly half — entered through New York.

[ecstatic]

13. I've been thinking the same. All their "enemies" will be dispensed of, then the gop will get rid of trump

after the autocratic rules are put in place.

[paleotn]

14. Interesting take on a "Reichstag fire" theme. At this point, I think anything can happen.

[summer_in_TX]

15. No doubt Trump will be looking for an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Protests, a basic 1A right of ours, could easily give them the pretext they are looking for. Especially with some of the radical right who are known for trying to use violence, vandalism, and arson. Several instances of that occurred during the George Floyd murder protests.

[AverageOldGuy]

17. That will be the least of his crimes

[JanMichael]

18. Or move to make the 4 year term 8 or 10 years.

That is highly probable.

[BidenRocks]

20. And away we go

Into a 2nd uncivil war.
We all have weapons, so tell me how this plays out.

[edhopper]

28. With the stroke of a pen

and the barrel of a gun.

[SCantiGOP]

21. Paranoia strikes deep

into your life it will creep.

[edhopper]

27. What's that sound

Everybody look what's going down.

[BidenRocks]

29. It also

Will annoy ya.

[58Sunliner]

24. Will they close the border to US citizens?

[Magoo48]

25. His overseers are oligarchs, billionaires, and other wealth fetishists.

He will only be allowed so far off the rails as it will enhance their wealth.

[edhopper]

26. His master

Is Putin.

[IzzaNuDay]

30. Sooner than October

From: https://immigrationhistory.org/item/muslim-travel-ban/

On January 27, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order that banned travel to the United States for 90 days from seven predominantly Muslim countries–Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen–and suspended the resettlement of all Syrian refugees.
