Will the President of the United States declare Martial Law and SUSPEND ALL ELECTIONS? Will the President SUSPEND THE SUPREME COURT, and, remove the three Justices nominated by the treacherous ex-president? Some elected Republicans are giving signals to Putin they are on his side. This coup is not over, and the Republicans are indicating they will not recognize MORE VICTORIES by the Democrats. There has been talk of another Civil War – for over two years! One elected Loon suggested Canada be invaded when the Republicans – have more power!
You have to ask – what if the coup was successful? Would Trump – with the approval of most Republicans – suspend the elections and dismiss Congress and the Senate? Only a handful of Republicans are ADMITTING there was a coup attempt. This denial is doing much damage, and encouraging Putin’s criminal aggression.
Trump was saying the system was broken and the Democrats were going to steal the election – before the election! This might have lost Donald the election because ENOUGH Republicans, and ENOUGH Democrats – knew declaring Democracy does not work – is UN-AMERICAN! However, enough damage was done. Few Republicans tried to PREVENT this real crisis – and emergency!
Without the Congressional Hearings, the Democrats would be – EXTREMELY ANGRY – and for good reason! There is NO REASON for any Republican to be angry. Sure, they lost. But, losing elections, and winning elections, is what Democracy is all about. Surrender to the truth- now!

“They knew what they were doing,” he added. “These Republican members of Congress knew what they were doing, and they need to be shamed for it in the very least.”
GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger: When You Try A Coup In The U.S., You Have To Pay For That (msn.com)
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) appeared on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Wednesday to discuss the Jan. 6 committee hearings that have painted a damning picture of former President Donald Trump’s effort to overthrow democracy.
“When you try to overthrow the will of the people, and you try a coup in the United States government, you have to pay for that. Period,” said Kinzinger.
Kinzinger also found it telling that a number of Trump’s close allies ― including his White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and at least six GOP lawmakers ― had requested presidential pardons after the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“You do not seek a pardon unless you actually think that either you committed a crime or you’re concerned that maybe you committed a crime,” Kinzinger said.
“They knew what they were doing,” he added. “These Republican members of Congress knew what they were doing, and they need to be shamed for it in the very least.”
‘Truth matters’: Liz Cheney lambasts Trump-backed rival in Wyoming debate (msn.com)
Down in the polls and facing losing her seat in Congress over her opposition to Donald Trump and membership of the House January 6 committee, Liz Cheney came out swinging in a Republican debate in Wyoming.

“The truth matters,” she said in Sheridan on Thursday night, targeting Harriet Hageman, the candidate endorsed by Trump, and challenging her to say the 2020 election was not stolen.
The Supreme Court’s announcement on Thursday that it will hear Moore v. Harper, a case that could concentrate an unprecedented amount of power in gerrymandered state legislatures, should alarm anyone who cares about democracy.
The case is perhaps the gravest threat to American democracy since the January 6 attack. It seeks to reinstate gerrymandered congressional maps that were struck down by North Carolina’s highest court because they “subordinated traditional neutral redistricting criteria in favor of extreme partisan advantage” for the Republican Party.
Martial law can be used by governments to enforce their rule over the public, as seen in multiple countries listed below. Such incidents may occur after a coup d’état (Thailand in 2006 and 2014, and Egypt in 2013); when threatened by popular protest (China, Tiananmen Square protests of 1989); to suppress political opposition (martial law in Poland in 1981); or to stabilize insurrections or perceived insurrections. Martial law may be declared in cases of major natural disasters; however, most countries use a different legal construct, such as a state of emergency.
Martial law has also been imposed during conflicts, and in cases of occupations, where the absence of any other civil government provides for an unstable population. Examples of this form of military rule include post World War II reconstruction in Germany and Japan, the recovery and reconstruction of the former Confederate States of America during Reconstruction Era in the United States of America following the American Civil War, and German occupation of northern France between 1871 and 1873 after the Treaty of Frankfurt ended the Franco-Prussian War.

“[A person] let me know you have your deposition tomorrow. He wants me to let you know that he’s thinking about you. He knows you’re loyal, and you’re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition,” read the message. The redaction was Meadows, the sources said.
Gorsuch Takes Victory Lap In Continuing His Family Tradition Of Dismantling The EPA (msn.com)
Gutting the Environmental Protection Agency runs in the Gorsuch family.
Anne Gorsuch, the justice’s mother, was former President Ronald Reagan’s first EPA administrator, and the first female administrator in the agency’s history.
She slashed the agency’s budget by a quarter, staffed its departments with people from the regulated industries and presided over a plummeting number of cases brought against polluters. She even bragged that she’d reduced the thickness of a manual of clean water regulations from six inches to a half inch, according to the Washington
The FBI has issued subpoenas to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann and state Sen. Kelly Townsend, compelling them to release records believed related to former President Donald Trump’s effort to stay in power after losing the 2020 election.
Fann, the longtime Republican lawmaker from Prescott who ordered the partisan review of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, told The Arizona Republic the FBI issued a Freedom of Information Act request “in the form of a subpoena for my emails and communications. I’m instructed not to discuss.”
Nato vs. Russia: who would win in a war? (msn.com)
Nato got a boost ahead of the military alliance’s summit in Madrid this week when Turkey lifted its objections to Finland and Sweden becoming members. The two Nordic countries asked to join Nato after Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year, and now face only a “technical step” before their membership is confirmed, according to The Guardian’s defence and security editor Dan Sabbagh.
