I do NOT vouch for this report, but there has been a lot of similar speculation elsewhere. Save that he did NOT attempt to invoke the Insurrection Act on Inauguration Day and put it on this timer instead, Chump has pretty much been doing what he telegraphed he would do. His latest decree (Executive Order) calls for a lot of direct Federal intervention in DC.This includes maximum cooperation between cops, courts, and ICE. Confederate states (only one in storate being the Albert Pike statue we pulled down June 19 2020) to go back up. A "beautification" and "crime control" plan no doubt aimed at sweeping away the nonwhite and especially the unhoused.
