Ah, yes. The old “martial law to suspend elections” bugaboo. Unfortunately for The W0n, there aren’t enough federal agents, even combined together from all agencies and meshed with the entire US military, to impose martial law on more than a few of the larger cities. All anyone has to do is look at how much manpower it took to handle Dorner, or the Tsarnaev brothers, and you can see their problem. Trying to maintain control over, say, Los Angeles, NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Houston alone would strain their resources.

Sure, they could start with an on-paper martial law that just suspended the election “for the duration of the crisis” whatever that might be, but it would very quickly have to become a boots-on-the-ground martial law, because a large segment of the country wouldn’t stand for that. The US didn’t suspend elections for the Civil War, WWI, or WWII, and while the Presidents during those conflicts were nothing like the petty poseur in office today, cancelling elections over anything short of an all-out nuclear exchange on US soil would be met with derision and resistance immediately. I’m not saying they wouldn’t try it, or that they’re not considering it, but I cannot see how they could possibly expect it to have any kind of positive outcome for them.

I wish you were right.

Unfortunately, he needs to do much less than that. All he has to do to successfully "postpone" the elections is get the polls closed in some of the states, and get the media to go along. He doesn't even need to get the polls closed in every state.

He has already replaced the military leaders who would oppose him.

He has already created a shadow army of his own by arming many civilian branches of the government, including SWAT training and gear.

He has already given himself authority to kill any American simply on his order.

He has even given himself authority to confiscate your food and supplies.

The NSA has a record of all your electronic communications. Are you a prepper? They know. Are you an NRA member? They know. Are you a patriot? They know.

Congress stood by and did nothing when all of this was happening, including these outrageous executive orders. Thank you Paul Ryan, and your spineless "Republican" friends.

Obama has even had the military planning and practicing on American soil how to crack down on dissent when he makes his move. Our Obama picked military leaders went along with this.

Everything is already in place. All Obama needs is a pretext to make his move. He's clearly working on that too.
