I agree, When They realize the jig is up and the people are on the edge of revolt they are going to clamp down hard and take control whether the people want it or not. Forget voting our way out of this mess. They will throw off the pretense of being a legal governing authority and will show their teeth!

Let him do it. What's he going to do, declare martial law? That'll go over well with his base, when their Beemers get stopped by .50 cal armed National Guard units for being out on the street at five minutes past eight PM.

The Dems are overplaying their hand, badly. Let them show themselves for the demi-tyrants that they are. And let it be clear to even the most obtuse, slow-learner American that the media from which they naively expect impartiality, is effectively the propaganda arm of the DNC.

“What’s he going to do, declare martial law?”

With the right “crisis” martial law is not out of the realm of plausability is it?

What you fail to understand is, the majority of the public now live in large cities. They are easily controlled and threatened. They will gladly accept what ever the Government says so long as they are able to keep their TV sets, have electricity and flush toilets without being inconvenienced in any way.

To get them back in line quickly, all that needs to be done is the electricity shut off for a few days and Marshall law declared and check points set up on all major roads. They will be begging for their lives back and do what ever the Government says.

I guarantee it.

Of course they have scheduled martial law.

Of course some of their own will be angered.

They don’t care that much that they will murder many of their own. Less useless eater idiots to feed and manage.

A lot of their own will be enlisted in rogue gangs etc. murdering patriots and authentic Chrisitans . . . to set up . . .

the NEW AGE . . . THE NWO . . . THE UTOPIA . . .

barf to the max.

That would be to obvious. He'll call it something else, and for won't use the National Guard, at least not for the dirty parts.

Besides, martial law is not allowed unless the civil courts are not able to operate. That's not to say that the military might not be enforcing the civil law, perhaps under the terrorism exception to posse commitatus. But any cases that were tried, and any habeas corpus appeals would be handled by the civil courts, not military courts. And of course the Constitution allows for suspension of habeas corpus, "when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
