Already looking ahead to the turmoil his re-election could cause, Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly circling an idea to invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, deploying the military to act as domestic law enforcement.

          Reality is Stranger Than fiction, not because we live in a world of Wonder and miracle or there’s some kind of magic in the world that makes things happen. But simply because people who write fiction typically want it to make sense.
