so I left for a nice 2 hr long walk and came home to find american twitter absolutely losing their minds. what the fuck just happened?
Merry Ladymas
from a distance it seems like a trump speech that was bad
6LilacMimeLions
trump was more garbage than usual and is threatening to send the army to quell riots
Merry Ladymas
ugh
Merry Ladymas
I'm so sorry
izzy.vrm
the LAPD police chief literally blamed floyd's death on the protesters
Merry Ladymas
holy shit
6LilacMimeLions
the us armed forces aren't allowed to operate within the united states unless the insurrection act is invoked
6LilacMimeLions
which, in theory, trump can only do at the request of a state governor
6LilacMimeLions
most of whom were like "lol fuck off"
6LilacMimeLions
but he might try it anyway
Merry Ladymas
he doesn't strike me as someone who knows a single law of anything
6LilacMimeLions
Insurrection Act - Wikipedia

Merry Ladymas
