Do you think the US President will declare martial law within the next 18 months?

[TheAppletons]

Title says it all.

[blaze master]

No. The hysteria on here is becoming scary.

[riclag]

Everything is on the table.it seems as though the terrorist sympathizers are disturbed  that he and the Gop are closing down 

the piggybank of waste fraud & abuse.

They are also frustrated that their foot soldiers with the scarfs are getting arrested & deported.

 Also their millions of illegal potential voters, that they were counting on are 

very worried about getting deported !

 

How does the left react towards that,

Hakim Jefferies said it best “fight in the streets”. Maxine Watters , taking it to the streets.

I'm sure a lot of the left wing lunatics would love the idea of a full on war with the conservatives.

 

The big issue they ignore. The conservatives are the ones that have all the guns.

Do you think this thread is an indication that a certain syndrome exists?

[Mike_Hunt]

In the history of the United States, several presidents have declared martial law, either nationally or in specific regions. Here are the key instances:

1. George Washington (1794) – Whiskey Rebellion

• Declared martial law in western Pennsylvania to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion, a tax protest.
• Sent federal troops to enforce order.

2. Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865) – Civil War

• Declared martial law and suspended habeas corpus in some areas.
• Used military tribunals for civilians in rebellion states.
• Justified it as necessary to preserve the Union.

3. Ulysses S. Grant (1871) – Ku Klux Klan Act

• Declared martial law in parts of South Carolina to combat the KKK’s violence.
• Used federal troops to restore order.

4. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1941-1945) – World War II

• Did not declare martial law nationwide but allowed it in Hawaii after the Pearl Harbor attack.
• Military rule lasted until 1944.

5. Harry S. Truman (1950) – Korean War (Steel Seizure Case)

• Attempted to take control of steel mills during the war but was ruled unconstitutional in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952).
• Did not fully implement martial law, but it was a significant constitutional crisis.

6. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1957) – Little Rock Crisis

• Sent federal troops to enforce desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas.
• Did not formally declare martial law but used military force to maintain order.

7. John F. Kennedy (1962) – Ole Miss Integration Crisis

• Sent federal forces to ensure James Meredith could enroll at the University of Mississippi.
• Again, not a full martial law declaration but a significant use of military force domestically.

8. Lyndon B. Johnson (1968) – Civil Rights & Riots

• Sent troops to control riots following Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination.
• No formal martial law declaration but heavy federal military presence in cities.

[Briggsy]

He will threaten to declare martial law and then wind it back less than 24 hours later and then threaten it again later that day and then wind it back the following day and then hype some crypto and threaten New Zealand, Western Samoa and Bermuda.

Ah, back already after your 48-hour ban. And not a moment wasted. First post up within minutes of the restriction lifting. The AN withdrawal must have been brutal. We all saw you lurking the entire time, logged in but muzzled, just waiting for the moment you could spew nonsense again. The agony of silence must have been unbearable?

 

That’s two bans in less than two weeks now. Impressive. The next one should be the final 86. Then what? Who will you reincarnate as next? That’ll be what, your seventh comeback with a fresh account? Or will you finally take the hint and stay gone? Wishful thinking, I know. Your obsession won’t let you quit. AN is your life’s purpose at this point. Too bad it’s as a miserable troll-pest who just doesn’t know when to walk away.

They probably read it or something 

similar on Cnn.

“The Alien Enemies Act  of 1798”

 

Not to be confused with Declaring Marshal Law.

So No he won’t invoke Marshall Law!

Wrong. The "conservatives" have the fat. Most couldn't climb a flight of stairs without gasping.

 

Plenty of us "lefties" have weapons and have used them on behalf of the country being destroyed by the clown in the White House. I have absolutely no problem culling traitors.

Trump’s tariffs will be paid by the poor – while his tax cuts help the rich

 

So what? I'm not poor or an American.

No need to declare martial law...

They will never realize they're being played for fools.

The MAGA sheep are docile and compliant. 😭

No

[Middle Aged Grouch]

What about the anarchy created by the ultra violent south american mafia cartel gangs that were spreading fear and chaos for the last 10 years in America ?  Strange, that the media never mentioned the situation. Now Trump is trying his best (or worst) to clean up the streets and it's a global woke influenced uproar. Really....

  Interesting.  You took this in a direction that I hadn't considered when constructing the thread.

 

  FWIW, I don't think Americans are much in an uproar about the President ridding the country of illegal citizens.

 

  My original thought was that Americans may, at some point, begin protesting about job losses, higher costs, threats to entitlement programs, etc.  And that those protests, would in turn, spur the action specified in the OP.

 

  Especially if those protests intensify somewhere around the mid-term elections (hence the 18 months timeline.)

All three of which are 1) small enough to not be able to fight back, 2) are English speaking so don't test his linguistic skills (doesn't that rather foxy Melanie Jolly sound good with her "French accent"), 3) and will be of interest to his billionaire backers!

No.  Unless the lefties unleash another summer of love and mostly peaceful city burnings.

 

But the MSM will spin some of his executive actions as some version of martial law.

 

I read an interesting website looking for some stats about the Summer of Love...

 

8700 protests during the period, with 3,692 involving illegal acts.  574 involved violence.  100 in one city alone.  2,835 incidents of looting, 624 incidents of arson, including 97 cop cars burned.  2035 LEOs injured. 16,241 arrests, but most of them quickly released.

 

And they keep pointing at Jan6 which lasted, what, maybe a couple of hours?  And so appalled even the righties that it never happened again.  Versus 8700 times...

For those who refuse to do their own Googling, that's the Major Cities Chiefs Association, of police chiefs.  (And I do apologize that I can't seem to get live links to work.)

 

If the lefties go on another howling, I hope martial law follows.
