In reply to the discussion: Retired Major General Paul Eaton Issues A Chilling Warning [View all]Magoo48
(5,870 posts)29. "Nobody will stop him", is the part that I find disconcerting.
Given that nearly every kind of enforcement agency you can think of has tiptoed and shuffled around him, head and eyes down,, while he bellowed across America committing crimes faster than an army of Bonnie and Clydes every where he went. It seems like everyone in charge of protecting Our common welfare is mesmerized by him.

Martial law, arrest co-conspirators. It's a special time and requires special acts to preserve the nation.

And who can authorize that? Biden won't and for good reason because that would definitely cause a civil war.
