Mike Flynn calls on Trump to declare martial law to hold a redo election. This man is a complete disgrace and enemy of democracy and the American republic. In a democracy this amounts to sedition. In a democracy what is worse than a call to overthrow the state?

1. And that is the definition of a military coup

[cilla4progress]

2. We ignore them

at our peril.

There are more of us.

[triron]

39. Worries me as well.

[Cha]

3. Fuck your Gaslighting SHIT, Seditious flynn

[EndlessWire]

4. Can Flynn be stripped of his rank

even if he's retired? I should know this...

I'm just tired of his being referred to as "General." He doesn't deserve it.

[dware]

40. Yes, he can.

He can be recalled to active duty, brought up on charges of Sedition, court martialed, and, if convicted, he can be stripped of his rank right down to a lowly Pvt, and receive a prison sentence.

[EndlessWire]

44. Well, that sounds good to me.

Joe, put that on your list of things to do in January 2021. Or sooner.

[LiberalFighter]

47. It needs to happen.

[fearnobush]

5. Use of Martial law, Insurrection Act against the constitutionally elected Government

May fulfill the Sedition Acts requirement of use of force. Especially since there is no constitutional means to even have redo election.

[rickyhall]

6. Is Criminocracy a word?

[Straw Man]

26. The closest we've got is "kleptocracy" ...

... although that's a very specific kind of crime.

[tblue37]

29. Kakistocracy.

[niyad]

7. Russian asset flynn.

[Doodley]

8. Quid pro quo. Trump gives a pardon and is immediately given something in return.

[cayugafalls]

9. Take note of the final 2 paragraphs. Ignore at your own peril.

You must also act, like Lincoln did, to silence the destructive media’s one-sided propaganda designed and proven to influence the election outcome, and end the unlawful censorship of Big Tech, to restore the confidence of the American People in our electoral process or we cannot continue as a nation. Failure to do so could result in massive violence and destruction on a level not seen since the Civil War. Limited Martial Law is clearly a better option than Civil War!

Many will object to these actions, as they did in Lincoln’s day, but we assure you that We the People understand that no less action will suffice to prevent the loss of our Constitutional right to vote and preserve our Republic. It is time to honor your oath, Mr. President. It is time for you to boldly act to save our nation as Lincoln did. We the People will support a national re-vote. We will also have no other choice but to take matters into our own hands, and defend our rights on our own, if you do not act within your powers to defend us.

[Nevilledog]

10. ...

[cayugafalls]

15. I think you get my point. Regardless of what Dump does or doesn't do

Ignoring this threat is at our own peril. One result is dump declares limited Martial Law, the other, if he fails to act is war in the streets.

Like I said, ignore at our own peril.

This must stop.

[Nevilledog]

18. Agree 💯%

[questionseverything]

14. He is openly calling for sedition?

Wtf

Are the lap dog senators cool with that too?

[cayugafalls]

17. Yes. Either dump does what they say or they go to war.

There is no option for peace.

This is no longer funny, silly or something to ignore.

Time to prepare...

[ck4829]

36. "Nice country you got there, would be a real shame if a... 'civil war' happened to it."

[dware]

41. This is clearly Sedition,

he should be recalled to active duty, charged with sedition, and, if convicted, stripped of his rank to Pvt., strip him of he retirement benefits, and sentence him to life in Leavenworth Prison.

[True Dough]

11. I would hope the military would stand down even if Trump declared martial law

As General Mark Milley said recently: “We do not take an oath to a king or a queen, a tyrant or a dictator. We do not take an oath to an individual. No, we do not take an oath to a country, a tribe or a religion.
"We take an oath to the Constitution, and every soldier that is represented in this museum - every sailor, airman, marine, coast guard - each of us protects and defends that document, regardless of personal price."

[dware]

42. That was drummed into our heads from day one,

also, it is our sacred duty to refuse to obey an illegal order and we took our oath very seriously, as does the Officer's Corp, NCO's, and every military member below them.

I wouldn't worry too much about a military coup, the way Pissolini has denigrated the military, the majority wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire, they might instead throw gas on him.

[regnaD kciN]

12. The second such call from people close to Twitler...

Are they speaking to him, or for him?

[Nevilledog]

13. Yes

[hedda_foil]

37. We need to take this seriously. It feels all too choreographed to me.

[Grokenstein]

16. And when Dim Don loses the election AGAIN,

we can frog-march Flynn out in front of a firing squad along with all the other traitors in the failed regime.

...Nah, it won't come to that. A Trump declaration of martial law would set off the shortest civil war in history.

[regnaD kciN]

34. Oh, I'm sure he wouldn't lose a second vote...

...because I'm sure the "new rules" would only allow in-person voting (and probably also allow for voting locales in direct proportion to the average per capita income in those regions, and God knows what other provisions to favor those in power).

[struggle4progress]

19. How many pardons will Flynn need from Don? Pardons only cover pre-pardon acts

[C_U_L8R]

20. Flynn belongs in North Korea. It's more his style.

Once a traitor, always a traitor.

[lame54]

21. The praying hands emoji looks like dick and balls

[sfstaxprep]

22. We Are NOT A Democracy

Perhaps we never were. But we're FAR from that right now.

[Bayard]

23. Just get us through to Jan. 20th

Then Biden's justice dept. can arrest this asshole and charge him with sedition.

This has gone far enough.

[BootinUp]

24. Hey Flynn we knew you were scum. Nt

[Afromania]

25. On my word, this dude needs to shut his treasonous fucking mouth.

[58Sunliner]

27. It's also a fund raiser. Surprise.

The asshat who actually wrote this pos is Tom Zawistowski, [e-mail]
1-866-427-9257

Be a shame if we called him and filled up his voice mail.

[SunSeeker]

28. That traitor should be in jail instead of out fomenting sedition.

[keithbvadu2]

30. 'traitor'

[dalton99a]

31. What the traitor Mike Flynn says:

[BGBD]

33. Let me be clear.

That would be a clear military coup, and a declaration of war on legitimate government of the United States.

At that point it would be either fight or live under a fascist dictatorship.

[dalton99a]

43. Absolutely. Their next step would be to actually arrest and eliminate the competition

if they don't like the results of "their" military-supervised election

[dware]

48. And let me be clear,

the military will not obey such an obvious illegal order, the JCoS have made it very clear that they will not get involved in the election, nor will they get involved in civilian law enforcement duties.

[BGBD]

49. I don't think

the war would be with the military.

But, I'm sure there are high ranking officers who would attempt to carry out the order even if most don't.

[dware]

50. Those high ranking officers can't do much without the junior officers, or, especially,

the NCO's who are the backbone of the military.

I'm not overly worried about a military coup, the way Pissolini has treated them, I don't think he'll find the JCoS very receptive to this.

[BGBD]

51. Maybe

But there wasn't much pushback when he ordered troops into Lafayette Square to tear gas protestors for standing there so he could take a picture. Besides that, there's still the old Blackwater guys who would try to fill that roll in a second.

I see this as a clear low probability outcome, but it has a really big consequence so I don't want to discount it.

If even 1 in 10,000 outcomes ends in the second American Civil War, that's too big of a chance for comfort.

[dware]

52. Those were Park Police and National Guard, not Federal Troops,

and Gen. Miley profusely apologized for being used for a political purpose.

Look, I spent the better part of my life in the military, our oath is to the Constitution, not any individual, plus, we are duty bound to refuse to obey an illegal order, which this would clearly be, and we took our oath and duty very seriously

[LudwigPastorius]

35. "We the People Convention"

...a bunch of batshit-crazy, birthers who don't want to pay their income tax. Fortunately, the IRS got tired of their shit and revoked the organization's tax exempt status 10 years ago.

These Cheetoh dust-encrusted basement dwellers aren't going to do dick, even with the encouragement of tovarish Mikhail Flynnski.

[hedda_foil]

38. Kick!

[EndlessWire]

45. Yeah, this is serious

Flynn's not the only one who recently called for martial law...somewhere here on DU there's a thread...

How does Flynn's pardon interact with these acts of sedition? He doesn't get carte blanche to continuously break the law, does he? I favor waiting until Trump is out, then nailing his ass to the wall.

"Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it. The following provides an overview of this particular crime against the government, with historical references.Feb 20, 2019

Flynn has SOLD HIS SOUL to the Devil Trump. He rises to the rank of freakin General, then throws all his honor, whatever he ever had, away in the gutter in order to serve the likes of Trump. What kind of person does this???

[LiberalFighter]

46. He needs to be recalled back to the military, tried, convicted, and
