What saddens me is that the U.S. could have been the complete opposite.

After WWII, the modern day version of carrier strike groups could have been made more numourous and larger. But instead of just patrolling chunks of the ocean for no goddamn reason, the MOMENT a country's armed forces cross into a neighboring country that agressor country gets obliterated by the strike group in that location.

In turn, the US could never seek to expand its borders, and would remain neutral in all future conflict.

Sure this would have pissed Russia off, but look at China - other than their childish problem losing Taiwan and Hong Kong (RIP) they probably wouldn't have had a problem with it.

Hell, the US DEMONSTRATED the capability to do this with the first Gulf War.

I will now wait for a chaotic inbox.

Ground zero please

Instant annihilation sounds pleasant

That's the thing though - there are no courts to be involved here. Every state runs their own elections. There's nothing he can do other than send federal law enforcement to essentially be poll watchers in every single voting location.

The red states can continue their bullshittery. I don't see any blue states allowing that.

And none of that actually gives him any power to do anything like that.

He is not the States.

That only happened when it was clear to him that he wasn't going to win.

I sort of wonder if Trump has that foresight.

I don't think we were talking about that?

It's sort of why I'm vocal when I see those comments pop up. Remind them that it's a stupid position to have to start with, anyone actually planning to do something knows what OPSEC is, and they know any action has to be extraordinarily precise, not just shooting at feds.

Idk where this idea came from that he has any legal basis in postponing elections.

Even if Congress gave authorization to declare war, and Trump enacted martial law, the worst he could do is use law enforcement to intimidate voters. Which he's already attempting to do.

Sure. Most of us recognize it too. You realize the entire country is built around keeping us tied to an employer right?

Without a job, I have no health insurance, I have no roof over my head, I have no food. Those of us helping with the community orgs can only do so because we can afford it.

Good luck inspiring people to go die while they have those basic needs being provided.

Heh. I asked at work what the plan was when these companies go bankrupt in the next 6 months.

"We figure it out when we get to it."

Hahahahahahahahahaha. We're so fucked when this bubble bursts.

False Flag I bet.

And he's gotta make it bigger than 9/11. That's the worst part.

The reason why is because it's quite literally the last resort. Most of us aren't there yet.

A collapsed lung is painful as hell, and while you would eventually bleed out from the gunshot wound you'd probably be aware of it for longer than you hope
