Guess what #JoeBiden didn't do?!! Thanks, Joe! Would it have been a mute point? Perhaps! But it would have sent a message!

Democratic senators urge Biden to try to limit Trump's ability to use the U.S. military domestically

Trump could reverse a policy directive from Biden after he takes office but, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal are trying to highlight the issue.

"Two Democratic senators are urging the Biden administration to issue a policy directive that could temporarily limit President-elect Donald Trump's ability to deploy #USMilitary troops domestically after he takes office.

"Sens. #ElizabethWarren, D-Mass., and #RichardBlumenthal, D-Conn., both members of the Armed Services Committee, sent a letter dated Nov. 26 to President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that urged them to issue a policy directive that would ensure that U.S. troops can be used only when local or state authorities ask for federal help or are unable or unwilling to protect the public."

Transcript from 13 minutes in...

"#InsurrectionAct sounds familiar because it is this is the same act that #Trump wanted to enact during the #GeorgeFloyd protests of 2020 this is a law that's almost as old as the United States and allows the United States president to deploy troops into the streets of America to maintain their idea of Law and Order and balance.

"Now the smarty pants Folks at NPR summarized the Insurrection act as granting the power to the president to suppress any Insurrection domestic violence unlawful combination or conspiracy which is direct language but it's still pretty broad. Okay it's Broad and Trump knows that it's broad which is why he openly said that he regretted not enforcing the Insurrection act back in 2020. Now David Gross also points out that whenever you hear discussions surrounding border use and the word Invasion it is likely so that the state can point to Article 1 Section 10 of the Constitution this section denies States the power to engage in war unless they are invaded which is why they use the word invading in the section before. Article 1 Section 9 protects habus Corpus unless in case of #rebellion or Invasion where the #PublicSafety may require it so you can see what they're starting to set up here. Okay they're setting up this idea of a border crisis they are projecting what's happening at our Southern border mostly as an invasion. I mean are you doing that to invoke the constitutional rights you have to start a war or like lock people up without trials like starting to look a little spooky here..."

YouTubeJudicial Insanity | How Trump May Declare Martial Law in AmericaBy Under The Desk News
DoomsdaysCW

"V" uses humor and sarcasm to get their point across! A must watch!!!

Under The Desk News, Feb 7, 2025

"It’s Friday night, and you’re staring at the movies on your local streaming service. Up next in the queue is a little film called 'Martial Law,' which leads you into two questions. One, why wasn’t Cynthia Rothrock a bigger star? And two, what even IS #MartialLaw?

"Outside of the context of that film, martial law is a loosely defined concept that would enable the president to enact FULL power over the law and the troops in the event of an emergency. Think a state of emergency, like we saw in the recent Hurricanes, but to the max: martial law is a forced curfew, trial by MILITARY, and a complete dissolution of our civil rights like we’ve never seen before.

"But how likely is it to happen in America? Has it happened before? And will it happen again? The answer honestly shocked the hell out of me - it may shock you, too." [It shocked me!]

The very impressive thing about Jan 6 2021 in terms of optics was the near total absence of dead bodies and rivers of blood.

My bet is that Trump wanted mass slaughter of Americans live on TV to happen - and thought the bodies would be his suppporters.

Such a sight on American TV screens would have made #45 using his #PresidentialPowers seem reasonable to many.

And would have let Trump take the 2020 election result to his corrupted SCOTUS.

Is there a legalistic path this time?

The Washington Post · Trump loyalist pushes ‘post-Constitutional’ vision for second termBy Beth Reinhard
Ukraine News

The Central Election Commission stated that if the president's term ends during a state of war, his authority will continue until a new president elected after the war takes office. This is stipulated in the Ukrainian law "On the legal regime of martial law." The president's term can be terminated early in case of resignation, inability to perform duties due to health reasons, impeachment, or death. #Ukraine #PresidentialPowers

"Trump says he declassified Mar-a-Lago documents. Experts say it's unclear whether that will hold up.
Legal experts say presidents have absolute authority to declassify documents, but it's not clear whether Trump ever took action to do so."

A former president can't take home state secrets and claim without evidence that they declassified them while in office. Declassification must be documented properly.
