Wonder if he will suspend his ban on Big Gulps....
That is FUNNY!! but at the same time so sad, because it actually reflects the alternate universe that these people live in.......suddenly Big Gulps would prove useful.....
I too have worried about Martial Law over the years as a political weapon. It’s taken me some time to realize that Martial Law can only work if the Law abiding go along with it. Lose them and you lose it all.
And that goes for all levels of government too.
The scary part is that the top levels of the military seem to be in the process of re-configuartion......then, O has the DOJ, the Military and the Press....the perfect storm
You make good points, but the government also has to have the PEOPLE, when they lose the LAW-ABIDING percentage of the populace Martial Law can’t be adequately enforced everywhere. Certainly it can be done in relatively small areas, but everywhere? It would take the cooperation of the citizenry to do so.
And that’s where the media comes into play and their power has been waning for years. Yes they are still strong and as long as they can stay in front of a story with their chosen spin they can keep things going the way they want it to go. But with alternative means of getting out the opposing point of view being more prevalent that power diminishes quickly and believe me, their are few things more powerful than an irate person or populace that knows they have been fooled and mislead and can DO something about it.
The constitution is no more.

If it weren’t for the Second Amendment the communists would be slaves today. The Marxists would have already made their move decades ago.
Well—we need to fix that!
I’m one of the 5 million.
Nice rifle.
Neither of those bodies have an Army, Governors do, if they can hold on to them.
