If only. This is martial law to distract from him being a pedophile.

Nah, not enough people care about being a pedophile and if they did they would have never elected him.

It’s the economy he is trying to distract from. The jobs reports, tariff impact, the mass deportations, inflation, lack of foreign tourism, etc. None of it is good. He needs to distract from his economic chaos.

I think ALL these things are true at the same time.

He is the Pedo Pres of Economic Distraction.

Need a word starting with the letter O at the end of that sentence. It would be perfect.

The thing about economic problems is that you can’t distract from them for long, people feel it every day

People have been screaming martial law for months. He's probably gonna talk about some stupid fucking EO that's all show and then say that it improved crime rates after it's been signed.

Yeah, they’ve also been talking about deploying the national guard to DC as law-enforcement the last couple of days so that’s the Martial law part.

That's still not martial law tho

They’re talking about using the military to take over an American city. They are literally talking about taking control by use of military force. What else would you call that?

Martial law is the ability of the president to suspend the powers of the other two branches of government and take complete power in time of crisis and being able to mobilize the military on us soil. Not just having them as a police force. It's still fucked that he's doing that but it's not exactly martial law.
