Roger Stone Calls For Trump To Declare Martial Law To Seize Power If He Loses
Trumps ally says the president can bust Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, the Clintons and others who oppose him.

Long-time Donald Trump confidant, and convicted felon, Roger Stone said that the president should declare martial law to seize power if he loses what Stone characterized as an already corrupt election.
The results will only be legitimate if the real winner Trump takes office, regardless of what the votes say, Stone declared. A loss would apparently be justification for Trump to use force to take over the nation.
Stone, who worked as an adviser in the last Trump campaign, made the astonishing statements Thursday on the InfoWars program of far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Both men talked of an ongoing coup against Trump, and Stone inexplicably claimed that he predicted almost three decades ago that this moment would come.
Stone appeared resigned to a Trump loss but blamed it on the baseless claim that early voting has already been corrupted.
To safeguard Trumps position, Stone called for federal authorities to seize ballots in Nevada, for FBI agents to physically block certain voters from casting their ballots, and for Trump to use his powers for widespread arrests to solidify his power, Media Matters first reported.

(31,112 posts)Doesnt matter what the results are, he and they will say they are phony votes.
I sure hope someone has a plan for when this happens. GOP will go along because they are in bed with putin and cant oppose him.
It is over folks, unless...someone does something.
I would like to see Obama, Jimmy and W call a press conf together and demand Barr resignation and that the GOP must not support fascism.

(509 posts)if the ballots were stolen by Trump. So all the votes wouldn't count. Because of that, the the House terms would end too as well as the Senators who were on the ballot in 2020. Their terms end. Only the remaining Senators who weren't up for re-election would be still in office. Dems outnumber Republicans in the Senate in that scenario. So Pat Leahy would be the Speaker Pro Temp and the next president of the USA in presidential succession.

He is deranged, and his words are dangerous, especially knowing there are plenty of other deranged individuals out there just itching to start a fight.
This is damn frightening!
