    I was told martial law was going to happen like 3 or 4 times now during this administration. Still waiting.

      Worth pointing out half of those were BY this administration. Point is it’s a trigger he’s been dying to push when the situation gets dire, and currently the polls are showing the midterms are very much not in his favor right now.

        No the logic I’m using is that the US is too large, too populous, too spread out, and too well-armed for martial law to happen all across the country. Not to mention that the federal government does not have the infrastructure to administer justice across the entire population, and they can’t just throw everyone in jail because there aren’t enough jails.

        But if you don’t want to take my word for it, keep the receipts. Save this comment and come back to it on November 4 after we’ve had midterms without martial law being declared.

        It ain’t happening. Nationwide martial law in the US has never been and will never be a thing.

        The only enablers are the ones who spread doom and the ones who capitulate and obey in advance.
