So, according to you, when vote fraud happens to benefit your side, it's okay to sweep everything under the rug.
NO proof any court could accept.

Why are you still believing this lie?

Again. There are multiple influential Republicans active and retired advising Trump to order the military to toss out the results of the election. Openly. The Congress and Senate can impeach and convict tomorrow. Not a peep.

When did I say we didn't have political beliefs? Of course we have political beliefs and our politics tend to lean conservative* or libertarian. We also took oaths to uphold and support the constitution of the United States and rule of law. I'm good friends with hundreds of active law enforcement officers and high ranking military personnel. There are no serious rumors about martial law or a coup. Why? Because we do believe the rule of law. How many cops, military personnel and veterans do you know? Were you this concerned when "peaceful protestors" rioted and raised hell in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Portland and Seattle? Millions of dollars in public and private property were destroyed including people's businesses. vehicles and homes. Some people may never financially rebound from the destruction of their businesses and loss of income. Antifa anarchists nearly burned down the federal court house in Portland last summer. Then there was that absurd spectacle in Seattle. While it was largely peaceful it disrupted the lives of residents of that neighborhood and local business owners. You're looking for seditious and violent culprits in the wrong direction. Was the protester's violence acceptable because you believe that their cause was righteous and that their victims were merely collateral damage?

*Whatever that means in 2020.

That's a title.

It refers to the civilian control over the military.

No president has any authority to command an illegal act. The military knows this, and they know they do not have any authority to carry out an illegal act. At trial the excuse " I was just following orders" will not be accepted as a mitigating factor. If so ordered they will refuse.

Obama didn't have the benefit of mail in balloting, nor was he up against a monster like Trump. Oops.
After Biden takes office they can recall Flynn to active duty and court martial him. It's already been suggested by some Generals.


Why the insurrection act won't work for Trump from the Cato Institute legal scholar Walter Olson.

You all put too much faith in a parchment. Trump and his followers don't want him to follow the rules. That's the point.

You mean Trump and his followers want him to violate the law. Trump has done that his entire life he doesn't understand why he can't do whatever he wants. Trump viewed his supreme court justices like he hired them as employees of his. When they didn't rule in his favor he can't seem to understand that.

It will not happen.

If it does, do you honestly think we'll stand for martial law? Maybe not because many Americans are too fat and lazy to do anything about it. Most are all talk and no action. Big bad macho men behind computers venting their frustrations.

On the other hand, we're sick and tired of being pushed around by the government. Especially with all these lockdowns and control that these politicians are doing.

Government has gotten too big for it's britches. It's time the American people take back our freedoms.

But..like I said. The American people will not do anything about it but bow, kneel or ask how high to jump.

What law? Trump and his merry band of misfits have violated every law and tradition in the book. The man invited a General who is openly calling for a coup. What more do you need to see? The tanks on the streets???
