Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Philadelphia’s DA have warned troops they’ll face charges that Trump can’t save them from if they violate residents.
As Donald Trump floats expanding his authoritarian military crackdown to liberal-led cities beyond the nation’s capital, troops deployed to carry out his anti-democratic schemes might be at risk of prosecution themselves — and the pardon-happy president may not be able to save them.
Thus far, by my count, two Democrats in states that may find themselves targeted have vowed to spur local or state prosecutions — which couldn’t be overturned with a presidential pardon — for anyone who violate residents’ rights if and when the Trump administration expands its troop deployment.
If not within minutes of his inauguration he should have for sure done it after the Supreme Court ruled that presidents have immunity for official acts. Every single one of those traitors should have been staked out front of the capital after that. Biden’s lack of a spine 100% is responsible for the shit we’re dealing with now.
If that was too “totalitarian” they could have used it as a reason to make the legal amendments necessary to ensure that no president can do unhinged shit again after the fact.
