How about martial law?
Still struggling.
One of Donald Trump’s fiercest supporters, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, went to a meeting at the White House with notes suggesting “martial law if necessary”.
That’s the ticket. Just throw caution to the winds and get the military to lock us all up. During a pandemic: bonus points.
The notes, captured by a photographer as Mr Lindell entered the Oval Office on Friday, come after Mr Lindell tweeted then deleted calls for the president to “impost martial law” in the seven battleground states that won the election for Joe Biden.
- Impose martial law
- ???
- Profit!
The page is curved and not fully visible, but the heading is titled something like “[illegible] taken immediately to save the [illegible] constitution.
It references a “cyber” attorney and “Kraken” attorney Sidney Powell, while recommending “Kash Patel to acting CIA”.
“Insurrection Act now as a result of the assault on the… martial law if necessary upon the first hint of any…”, it read.
“… foreign interference in the election trigger [ineligible] powers. Make clear this is China/Iran.”
Sounds promising, but who is going to join in? The reporters are telling us the building has emptied out, and Trump is in there alone throwing ice cream at the walls. Nobody is going to execute his cunning plan.
Just to be clear, even if Trump declares Martial Law, all that happens is that at midday on the 20th, Biden’s Presidency begins under Martial Law. Declaring Martial Law in and of itself doesn’t change anything. Tp prevent Biden becoming President at this point would require either a military coup (not going to happen) or a civilian coup in which the military opts to stand by (also not going to happen).
Goes to show what incompetent delusional fascist freaks these shits are though.
Also, of course: the MyPillow guy?! I suppose he can make a tidy profit by selling the go-to pillow for white supremacists, but what the hell does he have to contribute to public policy? What a ludicrous cast of characters the Chicken Caesar has assembled around him. I look forward to learning what Diamond & Silk have to say about trade imbalances with China.
Helicam,
It’s especially ludicrous when compared to how irate conservatives get that AOC (who is a bright, capable, educated woman) “was just a bartender” (working “ordinary” jobs only makes you a virtuous salt-of-the-earth American if you’re white/conservative/rural). And I’m sure we’re soon going to see a lot of hand-wringing about how Biden’s nomination for Deputy Assistant Undersecretary for Something-Or-Other is underqualified because he (nah, it’ll be a “she” they save their venom for) “only” has a Master’s degree and seven years of experience in the department.
“Throwing ice cream”?
Ice cream because one of the earliest accounts of Trump in the White House was about a dinner at which, among other things, the guests were served a scoop of ice cream and Trump was served two.

Thanks.
