The Army chief of staff was forced to issue a statement Friday stating the military has 'no role' in determining U.S. elections after Mike Flynn, a close former aide to President Trump, demanded martial law. Flynn downplayed the importance of using military power to oversee political change, and in an interview called for using military 'capabilities' to oversee a rerun of the election in states Trump lost. On Friday Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville responded with a statement asserting the military's long-held position against involving in U.S. political decisions. 'There is no role for the U.S. military

Let's see DNI Ratcliffe's report. If there was foreign intervention and collusion with Democrats to steal this election then President Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act. These perfumed princes will get on-board or get replaced.

If President Trump declares martial law, who puts the martial in martial law? The DOJ?

How about if the dirty politicians who stole the election decide to defund the military. I don't mean Obama type cuts I mean dissolve and sell off for scrap.

We’re Not Calling For Martial Law-
We’re Calling For Triggering EXECUTIVE ORDER 13848 if it’s determined that there was FOREIGN INTERFERENCE in The Election
NOT because we “Don’t Like The Result Of The Election”
Do you Really Not Know That?

Army Chief of Staff spoke too soon! Flynn is a civilian with full of ideas and opinions. The Chief of Staff just threw oil in the fire for the democrats and the liberals to use against Trump and 74 plus milliion voters.

Call me crazy, but I DON'T like the outcome of an election that was a deadly farce. Some people will be killed because of this. Some have been already, because they supported this President and wore the 'wrong' hat. They were hunted down by a pack of Blueshirts. This isn't a game anymore. This isn't about liking or not liking politics, THIS is the fall of the republic. Yes, it has been sick for a long time. So sick we allowed a fraud to be President for 8 years. Or maybe not. Maybe as biden bragged they stole those elections as well. One thing is for sure, they STOLE this one with massive voting crimes. The rats and status quo desperately want us to knee before their rigged game. Shut up, the Supreme Court decided it, the electors voted on it, it is over.
Yes, the coup attempt is over. With the help of a truly evil media, a corrupt FBI, DOJ and a blackmailed Supreme Court, bend over and take the communist/globalist medicine. Joe the braggart will make you an outlaw if you have a gun and he will use the military to enforce it. Not at first. At first, corrupt, 'it's just my job,' cops or citizen army types will search houses. When that goes sour, then we get the military and if you don't think a rat controlled country will order US Military to war on us, you are a fool. The ONLY question that matters is will the military and other 'oath takers' obey. Many of them will. Many of them are looking forward to it.
You think it is 'foolish' to imagine standing up to a military force. Read some history. People don't do it because they get to hang out in a mob, acting out a sick movie while rat politicians and gutless cops encourage them to burn cities. People die fighting overwhelming odds because their lives have been destroyed every minute of every day. THAT'S what a rat world will bring us. No, I'm not disappointed by this election. I'm extremely sad that so many morons are accepting it and that so many are gleeful that they cheated, lied and stole enough votes to 'take over' the country. Personally, I'll take my chances, the tank crew has to sleep sometime. I knew a great country. If that is gone, I'd like to try and serve a little justice to one of the slobs who stole it. My motivation is, it is an outrage, but worst of all they ruined it for my kids and they ought to pay for that. So, yeah, I'm a tick more than 'disappointed.'

We need martial law asap so we can Make America Great Again!
But just in the blue states or in cities anywhere that are run by dems.
DC is run by dems so it would be very cool to see the White House surrounded by Abrams tanks so our courageous president can remain in office for as long as he wants to.

Martial law would be inappropriate. They didnt declare it when the communists were burning down the cities and it would have been appropriate. What they need (and dont seem to have) is an AG who isn't a deep stater covering up for the thieves. Four years and the president couldn't find a single good American for that job. What we need is a Supreme Court who reads the Constitution and cares more about it than the blackmail they are enduring. Didn't get that either.
The communists have been slowly eroding my freedoms for decades and have gotten away with it. They are continuing as we speak. We dont need martial law to suspend the Constitution because its already been done.
A few National Guard checkpoints would be good though. I can always use more rifles and ammunition.

There is proof, #12. It's out there. However, this is ongoing and there will be lots of court business before this is settled. So unless you are way up the chain in government, you just have to wait til it's time to show it. This election is being stolen. If that's not worth fighting for, I don't know what is.

If they didn't cheat, they have nothing to worry about. Idiot twirley-head General should have just said, "The Pentagon has no comment," and let it go. You'll do s you're told by your Commander, General.

#4, stop the nonsense of your constant trolling. You are one tiresome poster. Perhaps, you could find a nice, leftist blog on your fishing trip, where they would appreciate your constant harangue. Your posts have been reported.

Thank you, #12.....and Merry Christmas to you, as well! I'm fairly certain that most in our salon would graciously, though very sadly, accept the election results if the level of criminal intervention were not so substantial and obvious. However, it simply cannot be allowed to succeed if we want to retain our republic.
After my life and my sons' lives, my vote is next most sacred to me! I, for one, am hurt to the bone because that has been taken away from me, and obviously I am not alone in those feelings!! It is indeed enough to make us all a bit 'cray-cray'!
Also, be aware that there is much happening in the background to which we are not privy and do not have facts readily available. Some of the information cannot be revealed to the public due to timing issues, as well as the fecklessness of the widespread media.
We await with interest the DNI's report to determine just how many of our suspicions will be confirmed. Powder is being kept dry for the time being. All in due course.

It's funny, funny like cray cray, when we see Joe biden and Hunter biden getting on a plane, going to China, meeting with high level communists, get back on the plane and lo and behold when they land in the USA, Hunter has over a billion bucks for a hedge fund. A crackhead hedge fund/bank/money laundering scam, BUT to think THAT could have any influence on rat politics is crazy. So what if Chinese have agents as drivers for rat senators, spies in every university research center, agents in every government research center. That doesn't prove anything, that's normal. A country dredging up military bases in the South China Sea, has no interest in who is President. They harbor no ill will to the one President who didn't roll over for them. Besides, bribing or blackmailing people of influence isn't something they would do, except they just got caught doing it. You people are nuts, I'm going fishing because it makes no difference who is President, or something.
Trying to get into an alternative frame of mind and the space is far too small and dark. Joe biden has been the worst kind of political hack for half a century. Even after 4 years of the media making up stories and pushing a hate Donald line of propaganda, the rats had to amp up their usual corruption. Soros DID pay millions per campaign to elect traitor to state AG offices and other pressure points, because the globalists knew this plan from the BO years. YES, CHINA did more than influence this, they directed it in conjunction with every politician they bought or blackmailed.
BTW, as an art student at a school that required a foreign language, I took Mandarin as my foreign language. Went to the labs, learned 'how are you,' and immediately forgot everything else. This was late 1960s when China still had famines. So glad I've lived long enough to hear fools joke about learning the language of organ harvesting thugs. The beauty of learning Chinese vs any non Asian language is no matter how good you are with the various dialects of Chinese, you will always be inferior in their eyes. Just like how 1940 Germany and Japan viewed America.

I can't read the article so I don't know if Flynn actually made the ever-popular demand. I would say though to #12 that the "little militia pop guns" versus military weaponry argument has been around since the Clinton days and is very flawed. I heard someone use the "what are militia going to do to F-22 Raptors?" a few years ago.
In answer to those statements, nothing in war is one-on-one, weapon vs. weapon. Raptors and tanks need fuel and spare parts. You want a militia target of opportunity? Drive along Hwy 190 at Ft. Hood and the fuel tank farm is easy pickings. Take out some B1-Bs? Interdict the truck routes for parts and support. Think Soviet partisans on the Eastern Front in WWII and the Germans had 150, yup 150 divisions and had to take a number of them off the line for rear area security. We have what? A measly 10 or so divisions. .50 cal. or not, there is no guarantee the military would clean up.

One should assume that the Joint Chiefs are Obama loyalists who have their instructions in case of this contingency.

When the keyboard Pattons take themselves to the village green for a militia muster...let me know. I want to be there for that 21st Century Shot Heard 'Round the World, and see the man who fired it. Have at it...
Instead, let's understand this government wasn't lost six weeks ago. It was eroded by a unending process since at least 1988 and Bush41's "New World Order" eliminated the Soviets as our enemy. The erosion was largely promoted by lots of "conservatives" who thought Republicans had their backs in Congress and in the White House. These are the useful idiots that nominated Dole, McCain and Romney...not "perfect candidates" but we had to support them. As Mitch would say, best we could do. They used forums such as this to bully compliance and shout down disagreement - something that seems to be repeating itself. And ol' Dubya, once the GOAT among Presidents, proved his allegiance to America.
This is NOT a conservative issue, rather an American challenge, to restore democracy, ensure full communication of news and issues, hold fair and honest elections with informed people voting. Make it anything but, and who will rally to your cause?

The retired whatever may still post his/her opinions, but as one of the original members of this group, you run the risk of arguing facts and qualifying opinion with people who might be more conversant in specialized education. Those who are aware of the great motp's ignominious and embarrassing daily smack-downs regard your posts as maybe a cry for help. Whatever, there is a more tactful way to state an opinion than to start out with snarky remarks. It is a sign (that some take) that you dismiss every other view than your own and it doesn't contribute to the discussion. I've learned more from my 21 years reading comments from L-dotters than I could ever have squeezed out of a post graduate degree.
