I’ve seen the rumors online, but I haven’t been ale to corroborate that with anyone I talk to. I think that’s going to be a tough sell, though - they’re claiming the border is safer than ever and everything is going great. He can’t declare martial law just because.

He absolutely can & will. He will do anything to cling on to power, including crushing dissent. He is already well on his way to doing so. There is no more Constitution or law in the US. It is now Russian.

I know a couple of Colonels in the army. I asked one of them if he was afraid of being deployed overseas. He said he was likely to be deployed to the southern border instead. They are definitely ramping up for the insurrection act. It gives the felon all the power, no more first amendment.
