martial law

If martial law were implemented, would they have enough military personnel here to do it, or would they have to bring home troops and close some of the 100+ bases we have around the world? If the latter, perhaps that would be the silver lining. Most of those bases never should have been opened in the first place.

Local law enforcement will enforce. They're fully militarized

I would trust the fucking corrupt clown and his incompetent administration imposing martial law as much as I would Putin or Kim Jong Un, not to mention Hitler.

In 1878, Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act, which forbids military involvement in domestic law enforcement without congressional approval.

Re. R3, the point is, martial law by federal imposition is not something Pumpkin can do easily.

Governors can impose it as well, within the state.

It will not happen lightly.

Don't spread that fear.

r4, they had it in Katrina. So I'd call that happening pretty lightly.

Yes, and during the Occupy movement, I hid in Housewares R7.

I thought we were playing a game and we’re not.

I would trust Gov Cuomo, brother of hawt Chris Cuomo, with imposing martial law on New York State but not Trump.

Let me put this way. Will the American elite give up sovereignty over all the borders they had to steal on senseless wars for decades to aid the populace?

For this occasion, I’m in perfumes chucking Gautier canisters at the police.

Make sure those “organic” gummies don’t contain a sorbitol that makes you shit, btw.

Martial law would be perfect for Drump to become the dictator he wants to be.

It would be his Reichstag fire.

Then the executions begin.

Martial, Martial, Martial!

My definition of Martial Law is as follows: 1) Military style uniforms and armed with automatic weaponry. 2) Curfews which we're already starting to see. 3) Control of the media - not such an easy job anymore. 4) Soldiers posted in strange areas like supermarkets, WalMart etc.

Those are the clearest indicators i know that we'd be under martial law.

Why are you people so determined to believe martial law is coming?

I won't try to dissuade you with facts, but I am so curious as to why you seem to prefer to believe it's inevitable? Is it some kind of masochistic coping mechanism? Are you conspiracy theorists? What facts ground your conviction martial law is worth taking seriously?

by Anonymousreply 21March 16, 2020 3:44 PM

Trump is a deplorable person, but he's far from a dictator or someone who would rejoice in being one. Many here are just as crazy as the far right loonies who believe Coronavirus is a communist fabrication to bring down the west.

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha Law, R6. And don’t make me call the J Law. That’s even worse.

But just think of the EST potential!

I seek your counsel, DL. Sorely in need of some fresh air, I Larked it out to the veranda this morn; my girls Tiara and Diadem on lap and a Bombay Sapphire & Dubonnet in hand. I had anticipated a hour or so of hand-sewing and soothing music. You see, it was time once again to reinforce the poor, tortured seams of Mother's vintage Pucci caftan. Mother was a tiny woman — like a bird, they all said — but I long ago made a vow to honor her spirit by "rocking" the caftan whenever a breezy, carefree mood struck.

Well! Just as Mister Lonely by the ever-young Bobby Vinton was ending I was shocked to hear rhythmic grunting and a distinctive [italic]fap-fap-fap-fapping[/italic] coming from behind my prized Show-Off Starlet Forsythia. My gasp had startled a very handsome young soldier who was now staring straight into my disbelieving eyes! And then, as his primal drumbeat of lust sped up, he started walking directly toward me!

And where is Joel?

I lived through dusk to dawn curfews and National Guard tanks rolling down the of streets of Berkeley, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Washington, New York, Mississippi, Alabama, etc.

Wuflu is a pathetic joke in comparison.
