The Insurrection act will be invoked in the U.S. somewhere between July 2025 and July 2026 depending on the opportunity/excuse.

Can anybody clarify for me the source of the funds for Trump's destruction of the whitehouse.

Was it congress or does some regular maintenance budget hold enough to do this?

There is a difference between wanting somebody to be dead and wanting somebody to be murdered.

For example, while I don't want anybody to murder Trump, I want him to be convicted of his many crimes, jailed, and ultimately die in prison.

That would be healing.
