Trump has too much respect for the Constitution and the example of our Founding Fathers to use the Insurrection Act martial law under these circumstances.
To: aces
My god - the delusion is real. Trump is fighting because he is a fighter and he's fighting out of respect for his voters. They expect him to fight and he is fighting.
But he is not going to declare martial law or insurrection of any kind. To expect him to do that, is deep denial on many levels and then to state he is a coward, if he doesn't, as someone posted a few comments ago is the height of buffoonery. That's not unexpected on Freerepubic. Losing is hard, but don't make Trump the enemy, as you and others seem prepared to do.

Of course there was never going to be Martial Law declared. Now PDJT confirms it.

There is an immediate threat to the nation under a Biden-Harris Administration that will be far more aggressive in suppressing opposition than Clinton and Obama were. If, as in Biden's very words, the Democrats have perfected a massive vote stealing regime, they are assured of reelection for decades to come. Our foreign policy, including trade, will be under Chinese sway, as Biden and many politicians are influenced by the CCP. The full force of the FBI, ATF, IRS, etc., will be turned on conservatives and patriots. Big tech will shut down anyone to the right of Romney or the National Review cucks. The Fairness Doctrine will be revived to shutter conservative talk radio. Banks, encouraged by their regulators, will atop funding or providing banking services to gun manufacturers and conservative groups. Trump and his family will be prosecuted and their wealth seized, probably by the state of New York.
Perhaps Trump will leave office quiet if the court and Congressional challenges fail. But the USA is doomed to rule by a leftist oligarchy, perhaps for decades. The Bill of Rights will be as meaningless as guarantees of rights in the Soviet constitution.

I know, but many people are not attached to reality. I’m sure Trump is now doing 27D chess, is what they are thinking, completely unaware that Biden will be sworn in on Jan 20th. Even after that date, they will still be thinking that Trump will do something. Meanwhile, Q will post The storm is coming on Feb 1st, which will generate multiple threads with thousands of comments speculating what is this storm? It will be the mid terms before some will begin to realize there is no plan b or c or d. You are right, unfortunately. I believed all the rumors about the seized German server and how Trump laid a trap for the cheaters. I have waited 4 years for the 2016 Obama coup conspirators to face justice, and now they will be part of a Biden administration. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but at least I'm not going to be strung along any more. Better late than never. I'm already taking on extra work projects for 2021 to ensure I won't have any free time to think about the state of the country. I'll isolate myself from all things political and work, work, work. I've suffered familial grief more than once and work got me through it. I'm now in mourning for America.

This looks like a rehash and slight modification of the DN trash I read yesterday.
Including the lie that Powell was on Trump’s legal team, implying that she was ibn some sort of an official capacity.
She wasn’t.
Are these the same reporters/authors?

“Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are.”
“You hate me because I am gay.”
“You’re going to use martial law.”
The evil ones have a pattern known to all. The righteous, however, do not telegraph their thoughts and plans.

There’s no widespread evidence that he said such a thing. And besides, it’s been debunked.

Now that he has distanced himself from the idea, I really doubt he’s going to do it.

Every single word you posted is the truth. We can see exactly what they going to do and it isn’t going to be pretty for us.

For the next four years we'll be treated to and endless parade of threads about the next lawsuit filed in Federal court by an Orly Taitz-ish attorney with a mail-ordered law degree seeking to invalidate the election and return Donald Trump to the White House.
"I'm not an attorney but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night" Freeper internet lawyers will pontificate about how this case looks really good and citing some arcane 18th Century essay on English Common Law, there's a good chance that we'll see Joe Biden removed from office, charged with treason, and sent to GITMO.
Actual Freeper attorneys will post that the case will be dismissed without comment because it's garbage. They will be derided as trolls, #NeverTrumpers, and told to go back to DU.
The case will be dismissed without comment.
There will be threads using blurry photos of men who vaguely resemble these judges allegedly on Epstein's Pedo Island attempting to explain why such a solid case was tossed out. "The judge was corrupt!"
On to the next lawsuit filed in Federal court by an Orly Taitz-ish attorney with a mail-ordered law degree seeking to invalidate the election.
And repeat.
