Backing Trump, Some Ex-Military Officers Spread Conspiracies, Urge Martial Law
SOTT ^ | 12/05/2021 | Greg Myers

The White House on Monday nominated O'Grady to be assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs at the Pentagon.

But in a review of his public statements, CNN found that O'Grady called former President Barack Obama and some military generals "sworn socialists" in a radio interview. On Twitter, he endorsed a tweet that called former Defense Secretary James Mattis a "traitor." And he has backed multiple conspiracy theories, retweeting the baseless claim that Hillary Clinton and George Soros somehow helped facilitate foreign interference in last month's election.

O'Grady's nomination still requires Senate confirmation. Even if he clears that hurdle, he's almost certain to be replaced when President-elect Joe Biden becomes commander in chief next month.

O'Grady, who headed the group Veterans for Trump during the campaign, is just one of several prominent, retired military officials who have promoted some of the most outlandish election conspiracy theories and, in some cases, voiced approval for martial law.

My suggestion President Trump: I President Trump in full rights and authority of my position hereby declare a 30 day period of martial law contingent on a successful re vote of the Presidential election for the United States. This election will be held in manner that ensures voting integrity and the absence of mail in voting. If this order is not complied with I declare any government formed to be illegitimate and lacking any ethical or moral of obedience by the American people.

I understand we are under rare and unique times in our country but the rule of law and our countries right to vote is more important than any one individual or party seeking power.

Sincerely

DT

It’s a little late now, considering Trump is completely cut off from the outside world now. The coup already happened,for all we know he could be handcuffed to a radiator.

Gee, more ‘outlandish’ than the five year snipe hunt the media led the American voter against Trump?

“The White House on Monday nominated O’Grady to be assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs at the Pentagon.”

Clearly, the only reason why President Trump would nominate O’Grady was if he was sure he would be serving a second term.

Possibly, but I don't know how they would be able to not handcuff the kids as well. I see that Don Jr. posted on Parler 7 hours ago and Eric 12 hours ago. One of them would have mentioned that their father has been kidnapped by the deep state.

“Baseless Claims” = TRUTH that we don’t want you to know about.

Your martial law and new election idea are absolute complete fantasy. He has absolutely zero backing.

Visually image this: President Trump resembling a porcupine with all the knives stuck into his back, with traitor Pence giving the coup de grâce while Trump utters “Et tu, Pence?”

But MAGA will live on. America is awake now. Will Trump still lead, or will someone else emerge? Too soon to tell.

Bwahahahahaha, Trump has zero power, the WH gardener has more authority than him.

These Q-tard fantasies are finished

I thought the USA was one country. But, it could be two sooner than later.

President trump already said there would be no Martial Law, but he may have another plan he is setting in motion.

As Trump Moves to the Military Control Center He States There Will Be a Peaceful Transition of Power

Before you poo poo this video, keep in mind he has never said he has conceded. He said there will be a peaceful transition on Jan. 20, 2021. 8>)

Trump has at least 75% of Americans ready, the military, most police and if he does not declare Martial law based on insurrection we have lost America. These communists have started killing conservatives.

Remember that play someone put in a park with Trump as Julius Ceaser being stabbed? In hindsight, that was a prophecy.

Re vote? No. We know Trump won. And in a landslide. That phase of this is over. The legal phase was shut down by the OJ justice system as well. Past that now.
