    As more and more whistleblowers and witnesses come forward exposing fraud and corruption its becoming painfully obvious the recent election was rigged. Our Democratic Republic is hanging by a thread and on the verge of becoming a banana republic if this sham election is allowed to stand.
    Trump should declare martial law and cancel the election. A new election should be scheduled for next year which would give investigators time to ferret out the criminals in this election and put safeguards in place for the next one.

    "In short, martial law can be imposed when civil rule fails, temporarily being replaced with military authority in a time of crisis. Though rare, there have been a number of notable U.S. cases where martial law came into play, including in times of war, natural disaster and civic dispute — of which there has been no shortage in 2020.

    "While no precise definition of martial law exists, a precedent for it exists wherein, “certain civil liberties may be suspended, such as the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, freedom of association, and freedom of movement. And the writ of habeas corpus [the right to a trial before imprisonment] may be suspended," according to documents from JRANK, an online legal encyclopedia. "

    Or a national emergency which gives him additional powers.

    Evidence of a rigged election is indeed a national emergency.

    More like Lincoln.


    "President Lincoln used the authority granted him under the Act on September 15, 1863, to suspend habeas corpus throughout the Union in any case involving prisoners of war, spies, traitors, or any member of the military. He subsequently both suspended habeas corpus and imposed martial law in Kentucky on July 5, 1864."

    Here come the ones who ACTUALLY want to steal the election. Not surprising, though. They'd throw our democracy into the dumpster, just to get 4 more years (or 8, or 12), of their leader in power. And, after that, on to Ivanka.

    So you want Military Commander Trump to suspend habeas corpus for 75 million Biden voters? You want Trump to be Maduro - kick out the opposition, send
    the military into Democrat cities, and declare himself President.

    And you worried about the Dems turning the US into Venezuela? Holy crap, dude.

    Trumps already president. He just needs to remain so one more year to give ample time to investigate and prosecute the criminals who attempted to steal this election and destroy our Republic.

    Sure thing, and then the next year, there will be another election, after which Trump takes emergency powers to prosecute more criminals, err voters who didn't vote for him -- rinse and repeat until only Trump voters are left.

    Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? Do you realize that nobody will take you seriously after such posts? Oh, maybe a few fellow Trump dictator lovers still will.

    So you are making the same argument Maduro in Venezuela made in order to keep Trump in power.

    But there is no evidence, only claims. They should and most likely will be investigated, but this is in no way a failure of civil law; however, imposing martial law inappropriately would certainly qualify as a failure and abuse of power.

    You know, we have our disagreements on policy, but I never thought I would see you jumping into a thread, advocating for what is
    essentially the same tactics that Maduro used to hold on to power in Venezuela, and think that was OK.

    Wow.

    Again I thought republicans were the party of individual rights, but here you are declaring people to be criminals and election fraud without any trial in a court having taken place, effectively you are taking away the centuries old right to being presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty.

    A better idea would be for the courts to disqualify the states that had massive fraud... and if no candidate has 270, the election should go to the House.

    I guess I should be relieved that so far only two Trump supporters on PF are openly promoting a dictatorship and an actual armed coup?
