Talk inside the White House about invoking the act has ebbed and flowed since Trump took office again in January, said the five people, who include the senior administration official, two people familiar with the discussions and two people close to the White House.

But the debate inside the administration has shifted recently, from whether it makes sense to invoke the act to more deeply exploring how and when it might be invoked, both people close to the White House said.

    Civil war is looming more and more everyday. If I was American I’d be so scared and angry right now.

        Yup.

        Terrified, angry, disappointed, despondent, hopeless, disgusted, in disbelief.

        So many fun emotions! 🩷

          Nah, im ready for the roundups. Fuck Trump, fuck the administration, and fuck all the corporations and organizations that are deepthroating his gangrenous rot. Each and every one of you will get your under the new regime just as i will get mine. The american people failed to act when you had a chance, and now were all going to suffer for a very long time. Shouldnt have licked the boot.

      I’m Canadian and I’m scared. I have little faith the American people will successfully revolt. Who would lead?

        My guess is some combination of Pritzker, Walz, and AOC. Gavin too, though I hope his political star falls into the sea. Kinda like Churchill.

        In any case, America is a big nation. It is too big for the MAGAT serpent to swallow. So long as the entire leadership of the Blue States isn’t decapitated in one fell blow, resistance is inevitable. Considering the clumsy and brash nature of the Turdpublican, the only real advantage they have is sheer unthinking aggression. If they miss the opening blow, I think their fate is sealed.
