Trump Calls in Pillow Salesman to Discuss Possibility of Instituting Martial Law

President Trump appears to be out of options in his quest to con his way into a second term in office. The court challenges didn’t work. Pressuring Republican politicians to hold up the certification of the election results didn’t work. Inciting a mob of thousands of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol building didn’t work. As things stand currently, Joe Biden is still scheduled to be sworn in as president on January 20th.

But Donald J. Trump isn’t one to give up. No, he’s going to “fight like hell,” just like he told his supporters before they attacked the Capitol last week. He’s still got a solid five days to drum up another ill-fated scheme to stay in office, and he’s calling in the big guns. Mike Lindell, the MAGA-friendly affordable bedding entrepreneur also known as the MyPillow guy, was seen entering the White House on Friday.

Now why, exactly, is Trump spending his final days in office meeting with the CEO of a pillow company? We don’t have to guess. Lindell left his notes exposed as he was heading into the White House, and it looks like he and the president were set to talk about something related to … steps to be “taken immediately to save” … something, something … “Constitution.”

OK, this doesn’t seem good. Let’s keep reading.

“…Insurrection Act now as a result of the assault” … something, something … “martial law if necessary upon the first hint of any…”

OK, then!

So just to reset where we’re at here: As states are struggling to inoculate their citizens against a relentless pandemic that has killed nearly 400,000 Americans, and as the nation continues to reckon with how a violent mob of extremists was able to infiltrate the Capitol and kill five people in an attempt to overthrow the government, the president of the United States is meeting with a pillow salesman to discuss the possibility of instituting martial law. Sound about right.

So be careful what you wish for. Stauber's been slamming Walz lately.

And they'll all be slamming Walz before it's over, though not one of them could have done half the job Walz has done. I'm just thankful he's been governor through this. (Though really, he must have days when he wonders why he wanted the job.)

Scary thing when a Third Party POS runs for Gov. And Minnesotans love their divided legislatures.
