Trump suggests taking over New York City and Washington

Can someone list which laws he would break if he did this?
Laws don't apply to him.
both because he is legally allowed to break the law, and even if anyone tries to sue him to stop, the supreme court will end the knee and alow it.
there's no rule of law in the US.
asking what law he broke is 100% irrelevant.

For anyone still unsure, it is time to purchase weapons and start training. I don't care what episode of Real Housewives of Whatever is on this week. It's time to arm up and accept the reality that you may actually need to take up arms against your government if things continue on the track we're on. You don't want to be caught behind the curve on something like this.
Sure. That 1911 will sure help against that V-22 dumping Marines on your front lawn.

Thats not how it works.

Marines would get wrecked in a long term occupation on us soil. It is just completely counter to their skill set.

You Americans always skip to shootouts for some reason. You went from "I don't have stamps at home so I am skipping voting this decade" to fantasising about shootouts with police real fucking quick, skipping millions way more useful and way more non-community-destructing ways to resist, as if resistance isn't the point, but dying "glorious" death is.
but boom boom

How does it work? Is there like a website or something?

They’ve got their Revolutionary Guard Corps now, so your best hope now is probably for Baron Greenback to choke on his own tongue or something and then the rest of the regime tear each other apart over control.

The US lost in both Vietnam and Afghanistan because occupation is hard. There isn't an army on the planet that can even come close to taking on the US military in open combat, but insurgencies are a completely different animal.
Social media and AI mass surveillance might make a difference, but I kinda doubt it.
I don't think this is where we are headed, but it wouldn't be an automatic win for the military. Unfortunately, the people who end up in charge after an uprising usually end up being worse than the people they replace.

They may not be able to occupy an entire city (without bombing it to the ground) but when they come knocking at your door, if you insurge you're likely dead.

I'm not American, but I feel like I would rather go out in a blaze of glory, as it were, than be sent off to the
queer prisonbiblical re-education camps that don't seem to be very far away. -
This is dementia ramblings.
They could have asked him about cheese and I bet he would've talked about doing a tremendous job at making cheese grate again.
making cheese grate again
I'd bet bigly yuge that Trump is incapable of that gouda pun.

While I have my own comments to the contrary elsewhere, I'm also in agreement that everyone should arm, which is also contrary to me 8 months ago. The military aren't cyborgs and hopefully wouldn't kill their own people, other countries would step up if our country truly tried to kill us, and if we dropped a nuke on ourselves, everyone's dead across the planet anyway.
The numbers don't look good, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to live and be free, if we can't escape. Even escape isn't an end, per se, if the evil spreads, it will eventually be everywhere, and no nation will be safe. Might as well destroy the cancer before we need chemo.

He's going to attempt to do it unless somebody fucking stops it.

Those marines that couldn't defeat the Taliban?

Cool that will work great in new York city.... I am sure they will be able to kickdown all the doors in an orderly manner.

Kinda hard to accomplish anything material from the other side of the country.
google any major US city and put protest behind it and you will get swaths of news about ICE protests. It's not hard to step outside and unite with the people of the US, no matter where in the US you are. The notion that it only influences you, once those ICE thugs are knocking up your neighbourhood is the downfall of the will of the people. Grow some empathy and get active! Defending democracy is a hard and long task, but one ultimately worth fighting for. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.

Thus my note about "social media and AI mass surveillance". What makes insurgency so effective is the enemy of the occupier could be anyone.

Assuming the V22 doesn't dump itself on your lawn of course.
