State National Guards report to the Governor of each State they're guard of, and while State units can be commanded by the President in certain emergencies, the adjutant general (i.e. leader of each State national guard) always serves at the pleasure of the State's Governor - not the President or the Secretary of Defense.

He'll declare a civil war and invoke Martial Law. Making himself an entrenched dictator.

but after their disastrous meeting last week with all the Generals, declaring Martial Law
just became more difficult for him IMHO.

so how long until that general is fired? He might be asking for it with statements like that.

Media to make the ridiculous statements of violent protesters.

I myself have been advocating for dance offs with protest music against the ice gestopos.

MAGA can't take being the butt of a joke. It's why they hate the TV comedians.

And it will make onlookers all the more horrified when MAGA responds with violence.

Generals Dwight D.Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, and George S, Patton in 1945.

Looks ANTIFA to me.

Justice matters.
