I refuse to tremble before "What if Trump declares martial law right before the midterms." [View all]

Sure...the way things are going, he might. But that fear has been popping up all over social media and I'm not going to buy into it.

And there were articles yesterday with Republicans acknowledging that a big Dem win next November is a guarantee of Trump's 3rd impeachment.

Here's the problem.

"The center won't hold."

The midterms are in 18 months.

After 100 days of Trump, America's hurting, and the worst hasn't hit yet. We can still find stocked grocery store shelves.

Trump cannot sustain 18 more months of this bullshit and THEN declare martial law.

I'm not Nostradamus. I can't predict how this is going to shake out.

I just know Trump can't keep sodomizing America for another 18 months without some kind of major "course correction" in the Universe.
