Cuppa Thought Fodder Dec 30th, 2020 Trump Calls for Protests on Jan 6th's Certification

 


This makes me VERY nervous. Not because I think they have a leg to stand on, but because once again, these miscreants are normalizing tyrannical oligarchal behavior ala Putin.

GOP senator to delay affirming Biden victory by forcing votes on Electoral College results

" urging Trump to “immediately declare a limited form of Martial Law, and temporarily suspend the Constitution and civilian control of these federal elections, for the sole purpose of having the military oversee a re-vote.”"

I HONESTLY believe that without a full blown military coup -which assuredly will not happen, according to Military peeps- and a 1-for-60 lawsuit win record, he's just grifting. However, his Crazy Cult supporters are VERY SERIOUS.

Donald Trump Has Never Understood the Military—and He’s Not Going to Be Able to Co-opt It for a Coup

The Military Times wrote this rather frightening article clarifying martial law...

How the president could invoke martial law

“A really important limitation in the event that there is martial law is that it’s highly unlikely to be tolerated in a situation where our civilian institutions are working,” Banks noted. “Martial law requires a complete meltdown. It requires the inability of our civilian institutions to manage government. It’s hard to imagine that.”

and our civil institutions regarding this election ARE WORKING.

Even the Bulwark agrees that our Military won't abide.

The Military Would Not Participate in a Coup. Trump Can’t Understand Why.

even the Military Times disagrees with #Trumpery's self-serving and destructive stunts.

Calls for martial law and US military oversight of new presidential election draws criticism

and the Hill, also Conservative:

Trump's final days try to turn the military into a political pawn

and I have Faith in the integrity of our Military. They serve the COUNTRY, not a Party, not a person & not the President; THE COUNTRY.

Personally, I most sincerely hope & pray that this bites the GOP SO HARD on the arse as to destroy this radical insurrection of the Party of Trumpery. This puts the GOP in a position to ACTIVELY VOTE AGAINST #Trumpery's illegal activities to purloin the 2020 Election. And what with the rabid cultish violence-prone behavior of his ProudBoi vigilantes, I see calls on the horizon for Primarying on their behalf. #Trumpery's tacit support of Authoritarianism has given them permission to be brazen about their anti-Democracy bigotry. 

GOP Sen. Hawley Will Object To Electoral College Certification

Again, just as a reminder, he has lost 59 out of 60 court cases.

Trump's election fight includes over 50 lawsuits. It's not going well.

and now, I guess we wait, and gird our loins against the expected violence #Trumpery is advocating on Jan 6th.

Trump Encourages 'Wild' Protests in D.C. on Date of Electoral College Vote Count

"*Resident Trumpery has called"

‘President Trump Has Called’: Supporters Plan D.C. Rally To Overturn His Loss On Day Congress Certifies Election

Ex-Pence aide turned Trump critic ‘very concerned’ about Jan 6 violence
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS is the Message that #Trumpery supporters are putting forth. It's not We the People, or the Democratic Party, or really, even the "typical Republican"  who is advocating this divisive violence, it's the Party of Trump. 



Please be careful out there. #Courage #Steady #Resist BE SAFE
