The precedent being set, imo, will only hurt the country worse. We can root out Dominion and its ilk while Biden is president.

Remember when the Dems enacted the Nuclear Option and McConnell warned them that they would regret it?

I agree. Martial Law should only be a last resort in serious situations... I get with a lot of the shit going on why some people could argue why they would want it, but nothing going on right now comes close to justifying it to me.

If we become that which we oppose, we have lost ourselves.

Agreed, which is why I support idiots burning the flag. Even though I think its disgusting, if I were to push to make it illegal, that would make us no different than any communist, authoritarian, or fascist government who outlaws the burning of their flags and disrespect of their government. I think the freedoms given to us in the constitution are absolute.

I've been unable to look at the Trump Memes for a while now. The number of people deifying him was disturbing. The guy ain't perfect, but I appreciate some of the things he's doing. However, I'm not willing to give anyone total control of the country. I don't care if it's a Republican or Democrat.

This poll makes my eagle flap his wings in anger, lol.

Could it just be people are just venting their frustrations? I dunno if we conservatives can change that quickly and drastically, from "don't tread on me" to "burn loot murder". We're too nice. 🤔

Fear leads to Panic, which breeds Desperation, which allows them to be Controlled.

People are experiencing that exact set of emotions right now over the election.

Yeah, some folks r frustrated, not to mention being bombarded by the fake news. I think that alot of things needs to happen before invoking martial law laws.

How did it feel the last time martial law was invoked? 🤔

Idk when was the last time? 🤷‍♀️

You're way older than me if you remember that @Rocci 😆

There should be past records of the martial law being invoked.

Last time was 1963.

War, Natural Disaster and The Civil Rights Riot are the only times I know of.

The Posse Comitatus Act regulates the Military's powers during Martial Law. The National Guard isn't part of that, and neither is the Space Force.

What about on a federal level? The whole country...like what "folks" are asking for.

I sure hope they don't use Orbital Bombardment to try an stop a riot or something, dang ol space force man

The Civil War was probably the last instance of Nationwide Martial Law.

Maybe a World War

Yikes, that didn't go well...but it did end well.

just imagine firing a tear gas canister... from the ISS

The massive expansion of Federal powers, post civil war, wasn't the best thing for this country, imo.

or the USSS if trump seizes it under martial law for the space force

Might as well be using live rounds at the speed those cannisters be hitting the ground from space.

Russia is talking about abandoning the ISS and building their own @VirtualTools_

saves money on explosive ordinance if you drop it from high enough

Has to be able to survive reentry. That's why massive titanium rods are necessary for the Rods From God.

I know ur refering to a movie...but i just can't place my finger on what.

Rods From God is an actual thing.
The movie was one of the shitty GI Joe's

There it is...now i remember.

What do u think folks mean by asking for martial law? Is it because of foreign election meddling, or if trump loses we riot, or if trump wins skinny lefties riot. 🤷‍♀️

I'd love to hear from a Pro-Martial Law voter.

Yeah, me too, I don't know if the situation is that dire. I might've missed something.

Pro-Martial Law voter: "Free and fair election."

I'd guess that they're young, with a public-school level of historical education.

I get that mini, martial law usually means getting the military (national guard) involved.

Against whom? Rioters

I'm just saying what "pro-martial law voters" would say. 🙂

Oh okay...lol

Some people have forgotten that God Emperor Trump is just a joke, not something to make real, lol.

no
