The answer is yes, but only in an extreme case. There is normally no need for the military to play any role in an election. The Constitution keeps the military in a narrow lane — defending the United States from external enemies. Civil order is left largely to civilian police. But there is an obscure law, the Insurrection Act, that theoretically could thrust the active-duty military into a police-like role. And governors have the ability to use the National Guard in state emergencies if needed.

Myself, I think if the military does get involved, it'll be only to protect infrastructure such as power plants, water pumping stations, airports, etc.

ReplyDeleteGot it going now.
DeleteThe virus is being used to control measures in place. Liberal Governors have extended multiple times for no good reason the state of emergency unconstitutionally. In Oregon where I live they refused to release the data which they are using to extend the state of emergency. Other states have made laws that allow them to not publicly disclose why they're extending the state of emergency until after 90 days has passed when they lift the state of emergency. They are absolutely without a doubt going to try to pull something everyone needs to be on the alert for pretty much everything at this point. They are bending twisting flat out lying and then claiming Trump is doing the very things they are doing while denying themselves doing it Marxism at its finest.

ReplyDeleteI could definitely see them doing what the JNA did in Croatia/Bosnia. They largely sat out of the fighting, but they did train and supply the side that they agreed with.
Oh ok I finally get it f u b1tches.

"The Constitution keeps the military in a narrow lane"
ReplyDeletelol. Damn, that was a good one!
If I'm not mistaken the sniper's bullet is also in a narrow lane
DeleteSo is the safe path through a minefield.
DeleteAnd don't use a bayonet to clear a path, we used fiberglass rods in a wooden handle, after removing anything metallic...
I think we are already at the point where martial law should be enacted in certain cities, otherwise known as "democratic strongholds" (or is it strong hoods?). When the public is endangered by thugs gone wild, it is the duty of governnment to step in to quell the disturbance. If the locals won't, the federales should. I liked the SecDef's response: "...only use the Insurrection Act in dire circumstances; we aren't there yet" - yeah, he doesn't live there!
ReplyDeleteTowards the end of Oct we are all going to be told the only vote that will count is the Quantum Digital Election. It is a digital way of voting on your smart phone or computer, all controlled through block-chain, tested for 10 years to be un-hackable and if you voted already you will need to vote again. Most libs and commies will throw up their hands and say "fuckit" and Trump will take 90% of the vote. It ain't vote fixing, it is only making the vote valid. For those who choose not to participate, fine. Fuck You.
