I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist...But, that part of his rose garden rambling was very unnerving. This is how martial law begins in authoritarian regimes. They are doing it for "your safety". #NoWall

i was very alarmed, by lots that he said.
-
Yes, it's straight out of the Soviet play book too.
-
Hitler playbook......he declared a state of emergency, martial law and took complete power.
-
This is what scares me. He wants to be the last president and the first ruler.
-
This is a nightmare scenario that I never would have dreamed if not for Donald Trump:(

Renato question, this so called state of emergency could also keep him in power, correct,?
-
There is no “emergency” that could lawfully permit a president to suspend elections or remain in power if another leader is elected.
-
Not lawfully, no

Here’s what he could do though!https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/01/presidential-emergency-powers/576418/ …

He could also declare himself King of no one stops him. Technically, he *can* do anything Congress lets him get away with. We shouldn't consider ourselves protected by our laws. The law only matters if it's enforced.

I fear what may happen if he tries this but I think we all have an idea “deep down in places we don’t talk about at parties.”
-
A lot of violence will happen if he tries this.

Is that like seizing legally purchased rifle stocks or magazines with capacities greater than X rounds?
-
Seems pretty obvious that one is not like the other, but at least you got to do your false equivalency exercise for today.
-
At the core: Government seizing private property in both cases.
-
Yeah, remember that time someone killed like 17 people with that acre of land?
-
It was a dastardly PLOT!
