On day 1 of the 2nd term, Trump signed an executive order that asked for a report due 90 days in on additional actions on the southern border. It specifically asked them to write if they thought the Insurrection Act should be invoked.

They aren’t going to recommend invoking it. If you heard people concerned about April 20th, this was the report they were talking about

Keep the pressure up. They’re starting to feel the pushback. Join the nationwide protests tomorrow April 19th

    It is not an eventuality, it is a possibility that he tries

    That’s literally what “eventuality” means:

    eventuality | əˌvɛn(t)ʃəˈwælədi |
    noun (plural eventualities)
    a possible event or outcome.

      Oh hmm, maybe I had just heard people misuse it in the past? Had only heard it being used as a synonym for possibility in the context of “every eventuality” but other times meaning something definitive. Looking it up I see that it’s supposed to just always refer to possibility

        Found these two, which seem to cloud the issue. These don’t say “possible”, the first even says “eventual”.

        the state or fact of being eventual; contingent character

        The coming as a consequence; contingency; also, an event which comes as a consequence.

        I think people get confused because it sounds so similar to “eventually”—i.e., something bound to occur given enough time.
