I suspect the first people arrested would be CNN and MSNB journalists.The enabling act at last. trump will use it to arrest his political opposition.
I don't think they care because the idea is that there will never be another Democratic administration if they cancel elections.Let's turn this around: How would this affect the right wing if under a Democratic administration with a Democratic House & Senate? What could have Obama & Pelosi done with George Sauros (spelling?) funding the P.R. for it? Let's work within the architecture of their fear, uncertainty & doubt media golem.
Elections are written into the Constitution. You can't just cancel them.I don't think they care because the idea is that there will never be another Democratic administration if they cancel elections.
Sure you can. You just don't have them. Trump is fully capable of ignoring the Constitution, and all the other people who are supposed to stop him are unwilling to get in the way.Elections are written into the Constitution. You can't just cancel them.
You don't have to cancel elections. The USSR also had on paper and in its constitution elections, and we all know how this one worked out.Elections are written into the Constitution. You can't just cancel them.
Habeas Corpus is written into the Constitution. This bill would cancel it. The Supreme Court is out of session for the near future, at least. If you manage the first, you've already crossed the Rubicon.Elections are written into the Constitution. You can't just cancel them.
Nothing is too hard to believe now. What if someone catches Biden or Pelosi coughing?I think trump will place the Democratic leadership into "protective custody." It will be in the thousands and include all of the Officers of the Democratic Party.
I'll be sure to send them thoughts and prayers.This would explain why Trump isn't fighting the pandemic aggressively. Let things get band enough, get Emergency Powers, then take over the government. What I find so ironic is that it's all those MAGA-hat wearers who have been so paranoid about a federal government take-over, but they handed the country over to Trump. I guess it's only the possibility of a liberal take-over that upset them.
Of course, meantime, they get sick and die. Small oversight on their part.
I’m not sure how many people here have ever lived under martial law in the US. I did. For months. It’s annoying but not difficult. You generally have designated places you’re allowed to go at given times, with allowances for emergencies. Whoever goes for supplies needs ID. You‘re generally dealing with either national guard or local FD/PD who are actual humans and will generally understand exceptions. There will be the usual concerns about individuals abusing authority which you have everyday in America, but it’s much less dramatic than people seem to think it is. This also allows for the possibility of allowing national guard to set up local supply relief stations so people that need emergency supplies can go to pick them up.
Martial law is temporary. Police state is not.Aren't a police state and martial law the same thing?
That seems like a minor difference. Are we to take politicians {trump} words to heart something like that is temporary?Martial law is temporary. Police state is not.
It is when appropriate civilian oversight is missing. That’s why the President is a civilian, not that it will do us any good now. We’re clearly in an attempt at a coup.Aren't a police state and martial law the same thing?
