Yesterday, the media erupted with the latest bombshell stories of how President Donald Trump is discussing plans for martial law and the appointment of former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell as a Special Counsel. It was a familiar bomb and bust pattern. A fair basis for coverage on the meeting quickly mutated into what bordered on panic coverage on the threat of a military takeover. This morning Jake Tapper headlined his show with “Conspiracy in the Oval Office” on how Trump discussed imposing martial law. He asked “How scared should we be?” The answer is not very on either count. President Trump publicly denied the report as “fake news.”
Tapper was right to describe the idea as “deranged.” He added that this is “alarming and scary.” I do not question the validity of the story, just the implications of the story. It is not as scary as the headline would suggest however.
This story has “sources” – the anonymous aides who have given virtually instantaneous leaks in the last four years from meetings in the Oval Office. In this case, within hours of a meeting, the sources apparently told various news outlets on Friday night Trump was discussing martial law and the appointment of controversial former campaign counsel Sidney Powell as a special counsel to investigate the 2020 election. The meeting was described as heated with various aides pushing back on the statements of both Powell and Gen. Michael Flynn, who was recently pardoned by President Trump.
There is every possibility that martial law and the special counsel were raised. The meeting was described as an informal gathering with Powell and Flynn. It would be no surprise that Flynn repeated his view. I criticized Flynn recently for suggesting that martial law would be appropriate given the election controversy. It was an outrageous and reckless statement that was tantamount to a call for tyranny. For those of us who defended Flynn over his abusive prosecution, it was also a disappointment that someone who has long defended this country would embrace such an anti-democratic call. Frankly, Trump should have reminded Flynn that he is speaking to the President of the United States in the Oval Office and such a suggestion is wildly offensive and unhinged.
Yet, having such a suggestion raised does not make this a conspiracy in the works. There are lots of looney and disturbing things said in the Oval Office. Some actually made it to the planning stage like nuking the Moon under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The point is that there is no basis for the declaration of martial law and neither the courts nor Congress (including many Republican members) would stand for it. However, the stories brushed over the fact that accounts indicated that it was raised by Flynn and not some agenda item of a meeting of the Trump Trilateral Commission. Despite his alarming rhetoric, Trump has complied consistently with court decisions and worked within the legal system. If he or his successor ever defied the court, they would be removed from office.
Flynn repeating his reckless comment in the Oval Office does not make a conspiracy. It is an embarrassment. Even if Trump lost his mind, he would have to carry out a martial rule without the military. The military has said to leave it out of such bizarre discussions.
The suggested appointment of Powell does sound like vintage Trump. However, a Powell appointment is only slightly more feasible than a military takeover. The problem is that Powell would be barred from such an appointment on a myriad of grounds. Let’s just name three.
First, a special counsel is appointed by the Justice Department. Trump recently pushed into Attorney General Bill Barr an early departure from the Department after Barr stated that he had not seen evidence of widespread voting fraud and followed Department ethical rules in not disclosing the Hunter Biden investigation before the election. Barr would clearly not make such an appointment and, even if he did, he clearly would not appoint Powell. It is unlikely that acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen would be any more inclined to do so.
Under the Justice Department regulations, such an appointment must not only be in the public interest but based on a finding that that is a need for additional criminal investigation and “[t]hat investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney’s Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances.” There has been no such findings by the Justice Department despite Barr making it easier for federal prosecutors to investigate election fraud allegations. To the contrary, courts have uniformly rejected the allegations.
Second, even if a special counsel were considered, Powell could not be ethically appointed. Powell served as counsel to the Trump campaign before she was severed by the Trump campaign after making controversial conspiracy theories. (For the record, I was one of the many people critical of the press conference held with Powell and the sweeping conspiracy theories). It would be unprecedented and unethical to appoint a former Trump campaign lawyer as special counsel under regulations designed to avoid conflicts of interest.
Third, and most importantly, no one at the Justice Department would do it. If President Trump ordered Rosen to appoint Powell, Rosen should (and hopefully would) resign. I have faith that the President would have to fire his way down to the DOJ motor pool before he found anyone willing to make such a clearly unethical and inappropriate appointment.
What is most striking is that such an appointment would doom the well-based investigations set into protective amber by Barr. As I have previously discussed, Barr effectively guaranteed that the investigations of both the Russian investigation and Hunter Biden could be completed even in a Biden Administration. By making Durham special counsel, Barr left Biden and the Democrats in a muddle. Trump may have discussed firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller but he never did it. Biden would have to do what Trump ultimately did not do. On the Hunter Biden investigation, Barr waited until after the election to allow the investigation to be made public. That will make it hard for Biden to even replace the Delaware U.S. Attorney until after the investigation. By waiting until after the election, Barr preserved the integrity of both the investigations and the Department from accusations of political motivations.
If Trump were to appoint Powell, it would be the excuse that Democrats are looking for to terminate all three investigations. Indeed, even the discussion of such an appointment undermines the strong position left by Barr on these investigations.
These are just three reasons why it is unlikely to happen. I do not blame the media for writing about the meeting if it has valid sources. I just wish it would show equal interest in confirmed investigations involving the Russian collusion investigation and the Hunter Biden scandal. Those are not chimerical but real. So is the allegations of sexual misconduct by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo make by a former staff member who was not anonymous.
It is all part of the withdrawal symptoms for a post-Trump media. This was one last sensational story to discuss while burying less popular or convenient stories. There is an alternative. You can honestly and fully cover them all like an independent media.
The greater problem is that, after the President pushed Barr out of office early, he has lost the critical stabilizing force of his Administration. He now lacks that fire wall and source of mature and measured advice. That role will now fall entirely on the shoulders of White House Counsel Pat Cipollone.
Very scared the military will NOT go martial law as to their oath of office. Which means the socialist communists win. The key point is if the Supreme Court Swears them into office OR refuses to do so. Far as I’m concerned it woud be the last chance for paredon and de Guello.
Ya, that darn military not going along with an overthrow of an election and trashing their oaths. How horrible.
“We, the U.S. military, we are sworn to obey the lawful orders of our civilian leadership.”
“We want to ensure that there is always civilian leadership, civilian control of the military, and we will obey the lawful orders of civilian control of the military.”
– Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
____________________________________________
Most certainly, the President of the United States has the power to issue relevant “lawful orders” to the military and to call forth the militia to suppress insurrections, which are irrefutably constituted by deliberate and willful violations of codified and manifest election laws, corrupting elections, manipulating votes and tampering with vote counts, the initial act in the suppression of insurrections clearly being the declaration of marital law.
Most acts of Lincoln, Roosevelt, Johnson, Obama et al. were and are unconstitutional. Congress has the power to tax only for “…general Welfare…” and has no power to deprive citizens of their private property, the right to which is not qualified by the Constitution, immutable and absolute,and has no power to regulate anything other than money, commerce and land and naval Forces. Lincoln willfully and wittingly violated the Constitution by suspending Habeas Corpus until corrected by Chief Justice Tanney. Obama forcibly and unconstitutionally imposed DACA, an act setting immigration policy, understanding that immigration policy is set only by Congress.
President Trump is definitively within constitutional parameters, as Commander-In-Chief of the executive branch, to call forth the militia to suppress insurrections, which the 2020 election tampering constitutes, as elections form the inviolable foundation of the American republic.

Martial law to overturn the election is not a lawful order.
Tell “Crazy Abe” Lincoln that secession was/is NOT PRECLUDED or PROHIBITED or PROSCRIBED by the U.S. Constitution. “Crazy Abe” had no legal basis to oppose secession, start a war of aggression, suspend Habeas Corpus, confiscate private property, etc. Everything “Crazy Abe” did was/is illegitimate and unconstitutional to this day, including the “Reconstruction Amendments.”
Tell Obama that Obamacare and DACA are unconstitutional.
Martial law to stop the Obama Coup D’etat in America is an order imperative to thwart insurrection and to obtain the salvation of the Republic.
Orders by the American Communist Deep Deep State to overturn, corrupt and tamper with the 2020 election, in alliance with China and its release of the WMD, COVID-19, were and are illegal and unconstitutional.
Read the previous post containing appropriate and applicable citations of law.
Security of America is the duty of the president and commander-in-chief.
The president has the power to react while awaiting action by Congress.
Anonymous, you have things all wrong. Trump said he would not use the military and the suggestion that was made was not to overturn an election
Why are we assuming that Trump said anything just because some idiots leaked nonsense ?
We have had this crap from day one.
Idiots stories that Trump would do something totally looney – because left wing nuts are not above doing totoally looney things – like stealing elections.
Yet, Trump has NOT doing anything outside actual norms. Despite enormous pressure he did NOT go to war with Iran, as an example.
As president everything he has done has been within norms. Frankly well within norms. The actual looneyness has been entirely from the left.
My biggest concern is that elected officials in the states will be “gaming” the election system for partisan advantage.
It’s not a new problem. But, when elections are very close, and the electorate is bathed in partisan infowarfare, I see elections becoming zones of illegitimacy. I’d much prefer States to move election design and administration to a neutral non-partisan referee with power to overrule a partisan executive office holder.
pbinca, Biden won by 7 million Popular Votes. That’s not close.
Bwahahahahaha! No doubt you believe you are financially secure because you have more checks available to write.
Unless you can prove the legitimacy of all those Biden votes, a real 70+ million voters won’t ever consider Biden as anything more than a Manchurian president.
Olly, if the election had been rigged, Trump would never have gotten the record number he got.
Trump’s record number of votes, for an incumbent, shows that ‘everyone’ appreciated the ability to mail-in their ballots; something Republicans are hard at work to roll-back.
Trump’s record number of votes, for an incumbent, shows that ‘everyone’ appreciated the ability to mail-in their ballots;
No Paint Chips. Trump’s record number of votes proves how much he is appreciated. The Keystone Kops’ panic attack on election night forced blatant rigging of the election. Rational people don’t dispute that.
Tony Bobulinski went on record saying that he met with Joe Biden to discuss the Bidens’ business dealings with Chinese communists. Bobulinski’s statements were corroborated by documents, signed agreements, text messages & recorded calls. Why isn’t Jake Tapper interviewing Bobulinski on his show and giving this *NOT anonymous* source some air time? Why has Fake Tapper completely ignored Tony Bobulinski? When will Fake Tapper ask Joe Biden a single question about the statements made on the record by Tony Bobulinski?
Election Theft Has One Head, and Many Tentacles
For a big picture view of how the election was stolen, in six of the swing states, read Dr. Peter Navarro’s recently released report –: “The Immaculate Deception: Six Key Dimensions of Election Irregularities.” Dr. Navarro, a Harvard educated economist, identifies those six tentacles in each of the swing states, provides helpful graphs, tons of evidence and citations — and writes in an engaging style accessible to a lay person.
The evidence he cites includes: dead people voting, people voting twice, illegal voting, corrupted voting machines, ballot stuffing, and garden-variety incompetence — such as this doozy:
There were “higher standards of certification and voter identification for in-person voters than mail-in and absentee ballot voters. In effect, these higher standards disproportionately benefited the candidacy of Joe Biden. . .” (P. 20)
https://bannonswarroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/The-Immaculate-Deception-12.15.20-1.pdf
That is just a re-hash of old and discredited claims. Putting it in a new form does not make it any less fake.
If you have counter-evidence to rebut the claims, then provide it. Otherwise, your assertion is arbitrary — and should be dismissed without consideration.
And we can but hope that, as the holiday rolls through and the dark morning appears on the other side, that trump lives up to his true lack of courage and guiding principle and just runs for florida. Or even russia. I won’t miss the fat orange boy.

President Erdogan recently threw 500 co-conspirators in prison for life for attempting a coup d’etat in Turkey.
No one was even detained for the Obama Coup D’etat in America, which concluded with a completely tampered 2020 election, commencing with the deliberate release of COVID-19 by the communists’ ally, China.
The American Communist Deep Deep State corrupted the 2020 election through deception and tampered with votes; communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, RINOs) cheated.
America is in a condition of hysteria, incoherence, chaos, anarchy, corruption and rebellion.
President Abraham Lincoln declared martial law, seized power, neutralized the legislative and judicial branches and ruled by executive order and proclamation to “Save the Union.”
President Donald Trump must now declare martial law, seize power, neutralize the legislative and judicial branches and rule by executive order and proclamation to “Save the Republic.”
Barring that act, America becomes a satellite of communist China.
President Lincoln did not declare Martial Law until Sept 1863, 2.5 years after open armed rebellion against the US Army.
Your head might be full of hysteria, incoherence, etc. but don’t project that on the rest of us. You seem to be imbibing the Koolaid that there’s a vast Communist conspiracy already in control of the Democrats, academia, Wall St. , Hollywood, and the MSM. It’s really more cause to keep a close eye on covert Chinese influence in the US, but not freak out and make the other side paranoid.
The way you couch our options in blackest and whitest extremes — either accept a Martual Law coup against the Constitutional election of Biden, or face an imminent Communist Chinese takeover? That shows you aren’t that strongly behind the Constitution when the election doesn’t go your way. This type of infowarfare is indistinguishable from the campaign that Mrs. Clinton-Brennan-Reid concocted in 2016 when she couldn’t accept her loss — erecting a false narrative of a Manchurian candidate having won the election with covert loyalty to Russia. What you’re building up in your mind is the same playbook, except China is the boogeyman you hypothesize to be controlling Biden.
Why shouldn’t people view you as a coup-supporter?
The article mentions Eisenhower and The Nike The Moon proposal.
You all should know that Trump had two tweets recently which were made on the same morning. One just said “I like Ike!”
The other said:. “Nuke da moon, baboon!”
Why do only communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, RINOs) cheat?
Why do actual Americans, those who adhere to the Constitution and Bill of Rights (i.e. conservatives), allow them to prevaricate, deceive and cheat consistently and repeatedly?
So declaring martial law and overturning an election is what you call adhering to the Constitution?
Most certainly, the President of the United States has the power to call forth the militia to suppress insurrections, which are irrefutably constituted by deliberate and willful violations of codified and manifest election laws, corrupting elections, manipulating votes and tampering with vote counts, the initial act in the suppression of insurrections clearly being the declaration of marital law.

I posted a comment about this news story yesterday, linking to the NYT and Politico stories about it and adding the following from Axios:
“NEW: Senior Trump administration officials are increasingly alarmed that President Trump might unleash — and abuse — the power of government in an effort to overturn the clear result of the election. https://www.axios.com/trump-officials-alarmed-overturn-election-results-a844d1d2-acb2-47a9-87ce-ac579458b1ea.html ”
“‘People who are concerned and nervous aren’t the weak-kneed bureaucrats that we loathe,’ the official added. ‘These are people who have endured arguably more insanity and mayhem than any administration officials in history.’” “Their fears include Trump’s interest in Michael Flynn’s wild talk of martial law; an idea floated of an executive order to commandeer voting machines; and the specter of Sidney Powell, the conspiracy-spewing election lawyer, obtaining governmental power.”
Jonathan Swan (Axios):
“What is different is these are NOT the Never Trumper types. These are people who have fully thrown their lot in with Trump but are legitimately worried about his receptivity to Flynn and Powell’s ideas and conspiracy theories. One month seems like an eternity in this context.”
At the end of my comment, I asked: “Will Turley condemn this?”
It appears that the answer is “no.” Turley calls the idea “deranged” and criticizes Flynn. He criticizes Trump for pushing Barr out, but apparently he cannot bring himself to acknowledge that Maggie Habermann of the NYT said “the president asked about Flynn’s suggestion of deploying the military” (not, as Turley claims, that “accounts indicated that it was raised by Flynn”) and to criticize Trump for discussing it. Unfortunately, I’m not surprised by Turley’s response.
January 20th can’t come soon enough.
Trump cannot overturn the ELECTION, but he can certainly overturn the THEFT of the election.
If Trump had evidence of a theft, he should have presented it in court long before now, whether in a case where he was a plaintiff or by passing the so-called evidence along to allies who were plaintiffs. To date, Trump and his allies have lost almost 5 dozen election-related court cases.
The courts are political entities; no longer judicial.
The Chief Ideologue, Comrade John Roberts, foisted upon America a preposterous, non-judicial and political decision regarding irrefutably unconstitutional Obamacare and its “exchanges,” embarrassing
himself and to the detriment of the Constitution and the United States of America.
By contrast, truckloads (literally) of evidence have been proffered in conservative (i.e. constitutional) media, which communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, RINOs) summarily and
erroneously dismiss and ignore.
“ If Trump had evidence ….”
Spare me the stupid and crazy, I’ve already heard more than enough. In THIS country, Boris, the evidence does not get to be presented until a court agrees to hear the case – and several Lefist clowns in robes have oh so cleverly found 50 reasons to pretend there is nothing to see, so the evidence has not actually had a hearing. That is all expected, and when the trials for treason begin they will need to explain themselves. You need to stop EVERY case, and that seems unlikely as the lower courts pass it along to SCOTUS.
Now, nothing is certain in politics and you Chinese may in fact succeed in putting your meat puppet Joe Xiden in the White House – but he will never be legitimate.
Yup, he needs to turn himself in to BYS AG Letitia James.
SMH. AZ GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward tweeted yesterday:
“Mr. President @realDonaldTrump – we are with you in #Arizona. We are working every avenue to stop this coup & to stop our Republic from crumbing. Patriots are united. Those who are against us are exposing themselves. #Liberty & #freedom are on the line. #CrossTheRubicon @GenFlynn”
A reminder from James Hohmann (Washington Post):
“An ancient Roman law forbade any general from crossing the Rubicon River and entering Italy proper with a standing army. To do so was treason. Julius Caesar’s crossing the Rubicon on January 10, 49 BC precipitated the Roman Civil War, which led to Caesar becoming a dictator.”
How disgusting that anyone, much less a state GOP Chairwoman, should be encouraging Trump to start a civil war. She is wrong about patriots being united in support of Trump. Plenty of patriotic Americans support the election results and a peaceful transition to a Biden Admin.
You and Hohman need to brush up on Roman history. The Rubicon is in Italy. The prohibition was against any general bringing his army out of his assigned province and into Rome (in the larger sense). The Senate, Cato in particular, precipitated Caesar’s act by declaring they would prosecute him as soon as he set his powers aside [sound familiar?]. The Republic was largely dead before Caesar. Remember Sulla and Marius.

“… the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror…”
Which in this case is spread by the sycophants in the DNC media
Whig98, Ralph Chappel and Molly G are all puppets used by our usual troll.
Molly is liberal. Why would the “usual troll” post liberal comments?
I do not post under any other username.
Correction.
Thanks for the compliment by comparing me to Professor Turley, but, as usual, you are incorrect. Ask not who the troll is, for he is thee (with apologies to John Donne)
whig, your ‘DNC media’ reference is pure troll. The DNC ‘wishes’ the media was that friendly.
Oh please, do you read what you write? I refuse to insult your intelligence by suggesting you actually read it before posting
Marital Law…..connotes actual Law existing….might be a pleasant change from the lawlessness of the Left that we are seeing so much of lately.
So what “lawlessness of the left” is so grave that if justified the president destroying our country?
Look at LA and Portland and New York and you might think the country is already destroyed.
Young, have you ever been to those cities?? It doesn’t sound like it. It sounds like you’re blogging from a cave somewhere.
I have riveting pictures I took of the Fashion District in LA where sidewalks are covered with tents and cardboard hovels inhabited by crazies, druggies and criminals. Rodeo Drive is collecting shuttered stores, again I took pictures. Same in Seattle and New York. I have a big cave.
I think city hall in LA had typhus infections carried into the building from the sidewalks. San Francisco has poop maps and cars are broken into and robbed every few minutes. I have been in better run cities in the Third World.
Young, you were staying on Skid Row because that’s all you could afford.
The President has done no such thing. He promoted rule of law, not rule of rioting and force. The left like the CCP promotes lies to its citizens.
Reported that the CDC wants to use the vaccine on black people before whites. I like that idea. I want to see what it does before I get it. The CDC must have found its old Tuskegee Manual. Unfortunately, Sharpton is on to them though.
Almost every zombie apocalypse movie begins with a malignant vaccine.
Why do we hire policy morons in the CDC?
The CDC’s performance has been horrendous. This idea of using the vaccine on black people first struck me like it struck you Tuskegee. This what the US is dying from, terminal foolishness that can be heard in DC and on this blog.
Yep, vaccinating people is exactly like allowing untreated syphilis to progress.
You have an odd understanding of people. Color shouldn’t be the determining factor of who gets the vaccine. Need seems to be a more intelligent way to figure out who gets the vaccine first. You also missed how that statement could be misinterpreted. Are you applying for a job at the CDC?
Color should not be the basis – but vulnerability should be.
We know this disease has both an age preference and a race preference. It appears that the mortality rate for blacks is about the same as whites 10 years older.
If CDC is prioritizing whites above 74, it should prioritize blacks above 64.
36,929 new cases in California yesterday. More than 2.5 times as many as Texas had.
Gauleiter Newsom(F) has imposed tyrannical restrictions. Newsom has killed freedom, but the virus thrives.
But you might still be able to lunch at The French Laundry or get a bottle at Newsom’s own winery–without masks.
I think there may be executive options that don’t require much in the way of a military presence or martial law.
The courts have dodged this from the beginning but they can’t run and hide from an executive order that invalidates election results corrupted by foreign electronic invasion on a level that imperils national security.
No inauguration without a valid election.
Just one thought tossed to the winds. I am glad many options are being considered.
Executive Orders are only binding on executive branch departments, and has zero influence over state elections. Trump lost and there is nothing he can do.
Molly– Tell that to Korematsu
That was done by the executive branch.
Yes, it was, but to whom and to where?
Was it binding on any person or place not in the executive branch as your original comment claimed executive actions must be? What if voting machines instead of people are gathered up?
EOs are presidential orders for the executive brace to take actions. In this case the order was to imprison innocent people of Japanese decent. The action was taken by the executive branch. Impounding state voting machines would be an illegal use of an EO. This is not at all complicated.
Yes, they were decent people. I think you meant to say they were of Japanese descent. 🙂
So you think the imprisonment of Japanese and Americans by EO is legal but rounding up machines would be illegal?
I think this *is* too complicated for you.
No. Both are illegal. If there is actual evidence of fraud related to voting machines the FBI can apply for a warrant. That would be the legal method.
Molly,
Korematsu went to the Supreme Court and was not held to be illegal.
Same should be true of voting machines in a matter of national security.
The FBI is pretty much a failure. They missed the Boston Marathon killers, Major Hassan, and many more.
They did manage to focus like a laser beam on Steven Hatfill and Richard Jewell, both innocent.
You shouldn’t trust them with anything.
This subject is too complicated for you.
Young, Molly makes things up as she goes along.
A Democrat FDR ordered the imprisonment.
The machines were used in a federal election involving federal officials tell us why you say “Impounding state voting machines would be an illegal use of an EO.”
Exactly.
Trump hasn’t presented evidence of election results corrupted by foreign electronic invasion on a level that imperils national security. Trump’s lawyer Giuliani has even stated in court that “This is not a fraud case.”
At some point foreign interference is not fraud but an electronic invasion by a hostile power intent on destroying the country. Putting a confused old man in the White House might do it.
There’s already a confused man in the White House.
There was an electronic invasion by a hostile power intent on destroying the country, and Trump said nothing for days before declaring yesterday that “The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control.”
“There was an electronic invasion by a hostile power intent on destroying the country”
True.
“Trump said nothing for days before declaring yesterday that “The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality.”
Since the media has been blowing everything up that is a reasonable assertion.
” I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control.”
Of course he has been briefed and the hack ended.
There is no confusion there at all. Why you would say what you did has no basis in what you wrote.
You lost me at “anonymous sources.”
Those are very commonly used. Sometimes even high ranked officials are “anonymous sources”. It may suck but happens all the time.
Typical hysteria from the MSM that has been unable to ask Biden questions about a real threat, his potentially criminal relations to China and to other countries such as Ukraine and Russia.
…And what is this all based on? Anonymous leaks, the same type that have been disproven for the last 4 years.
” Trump has complied consistently with court decisions and worked within the legal system. “
Not true of former Democrat Presidents.
The President of the US is discussing martial law in the Oval Office with a retired general. This general has said this before so he was invited by Trump knowing that he would discuss this issue. This is already a insane and we should rightful freak out twice, once because it happened, and the second time because the entire media and all the politicians did not immediately denounce it as lunacy and dangerous. The fact that the military would probably not cooperate is does not make it all ok. And JT, the president entertaining the idea of marital law to overthrow the constitution is orders of magnitude more important then the Russia investigation instigation or Hunter.
Why would we “freak out” over martial law to arrest the traitors trying to steal our elections? Democrats have already held the entire country hostage under house arrest for the virus they paid for and probably helped release. A few more days inside while the traitors are arrested, tried, and executed will be refreshing.
“Democrats have already held the entire country hostage under house arrest for the virus”
Where did the idea of lockdowns come from? The CCP
Did the US ever use lockdowns before for this reason? No.
Did the rest of the world every use lockdowns before for this reason? No.
Who told us to lockdown? Establishments loaded with CCP money? What has been the effect of the lockdown? Economic devastation.
Who does that benefit? The CCP
Are we at war with China? Not a physical war, but they are attacking our social structure. Is this unrestricted warfare by China against the US? Yes. This is part of the PLA counter strategy created by two PLA colonels.
One might want to disagree, but look at how things add up. Are they adding up in the US favor or Chinese favor? That is the question you have to ask yourselves and then you have to explain why.
It takes no explanation. Anyone who has seriously studied history can see the patterns as plain as if they were announced on the evening propaganda channels.
Hey, Turkey – it isn’t a theory anymore when you have mountains of evidence and a statistical impossibility of the election being valid.
Oh, and it was spell check that changed his name, but I like that version better.
Hey, “Jonathan,” there is no statistical improbability or mountains of valid evidence.
Lets bring back dueling. I don’t think you or Biden would last round one
Fake Jake Tapper is a dishonest, biased shill for the Left. All his negative reporting toward Trump relies on leaks and “anonymous sources” that become stories he gives substantial air time to….yet when Tapper had sit down interviews with Joe Biden, did Tapper ask him about the statements made by Tony Bobulinski? Did Tapper ask Joe Biden if he ever met Bobulinski or discussed his family business dealings? Nope.
Bobulinski went on record saying that he met with Joe Biden to discuss the Bidens’ business dealings with Chinese communists. Bobulinski’s statements were corroborated by documents, signed agreements, text messages & recorded calls. Why isn’t Jake Tapper interviewing Bobulinski on his show and giving this *NOT anonymous* source some air time? Why isn’t Tapper asking this question when he interviews Joe Biden or any of Biden’s surrogates?
Why is not a single “journalist” pressing Joe Biden to answer and respond to, on the record, about the statements made by Bobulinski?
The answer is obvious.
oops, this was a stand alone comment not meant to be a ‘reply’
Keep telling yourself that, Boris. You might even convince yourself, goodness knows you are gullible enough.
Assuming there is mountains of evidence that somehow exists but has yet to be seen by a court, declaring martial law and overthrowing the constitution is still extremely wrong.
Who said anything about overthrowing the Constitution? Martial law exists to PRITECT the Constitution m and that makes lefties cry.
“He asked “How scared should we be?””
More turning up of the fear dial. I think they hope it goes to 11.
More lefty fear porn.
There are now only two types of people who watch CNN:
(1) Those who are idiots and believe anything that they are told; and
(2) Those of us who laugh at the gullible left.
As we read the comments posted, we will be able to see in which category posters fall.
Good to know that if President Biden does the same thing, you won’t be concerned.
