Hey, anybody remember 12ish years ago when Alex Jones' worst fear was that Obama was going to use executive power to order the military to be deployed on American soil, violating Posse Comitatus, to massively round up and inter a bunch of Americans in FEMA reducation / death camps?

Anyone?

No one?

Whoo boy, growing up in a fundamentalist Christian household where I was the only one to go to college and everyone else became a Q Anon zombie sure was fuuuunnnnn!

I successfully ghosted mine to the point that they probably think I am dead.

Also moved many hundreds of miles away lol.

I don't remember that actually. I'm not saying he didn't say those things. I'm just saying that I never listened to a word that mouth breather said.

I remember that. He would usually say martial law. I think national emergencies are different and invoked more often by both Dems and GOP. Could be wrong

I guess if it was just illegal immigrants then it wouldn't be Americans, so it wouldn't be what they feared. But very close.
