President Trump appears to be out of options in his quest to con his way into a second term in office. The court challenges didn’t work. Pressuring Republican politicians to hold up the certification of the election results didn’t work. Inciting a mob of thousands of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol building didn’t work. As things stand currently, Joe Biden is still scheduled to be sworn in as president on January 20th.

But Donald J. Trump isn’t one to give up. No, he’s going to “fight like hell,” just like he told his supporters before they attacked the Capitol last week. He’s still got a solid five days to drum up another ill-fated scheme to stay in office, and he’s calling in the big guns. Mike Lindell, the MAGA-friendly affordable bedding entrepreneur also known as the MyPillow guy, was seen entering the White House on Friday.

So just to reset where we’re at here: As states are struggling to inoculate their citizens against a relentless pandemic that has killed nearly 400,000 Americans, and as the nation continues to reckon with how a violent mob of extremists was able to infiltrate the Capitol and kill five people in an attempt to overthrow the government, the president of the United States is meeting with a pillow salesman to discuss the possibility of instituting martial law. Sound about right…CONTINUED….

He is still alive so of course there is more insanity ahead

2. This headline...

3. Good night nurse

4. What the fuck does a My Pillow guy know about instituting martial law?

[Elwood P Dowd]

12. Probably learned it from fellow traitors Gen Flynn and Bannon. (nm)

[MyOwnPeace]

5. And why not?

Even until the bitter end, it's "Only the Best!"

[lordsummerisle]

6. I know it's a cliche

but this simply must be from The Onion...

[NickB79]

8. It's not.

[IsItJustMe]

7. From what I read, he was kept away from Trump after an initial 10 minute meeting.

9. Mein Pillow

10. The reason we need a pillow salesman...

Is because for the first time in four years we will be able to sleep peacefully

13. If Trump calls martial law, he must be arrested immediately and McConnell must immediately

reconvene the Senate to remove him from office.

It is obvious that the only reason that a Trump will call martial law is for him to stay in office. In the remote chance that he succeeds, politicians, the Supreme Court, federal Judges and anyone he views as a threat will be arrested and most likely executed after fake trials. He can’t be allowed to succeed.

14. He doesn't have that kind of power under martial law..period!

Martial law is used to restore order if state and local police are unable
Or if there’s not a functioning court system

Neither is the case. His time is up on 1/20 at noon. Martial law will not change that

15. We have seen how he works, I am surprised that you think that he will

follow the law if he makes martial law work. He will make his own laws and quickly disable anyone that can stop him, like the Courts, Biden, Pence, McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, ect.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. Why not? He has a purse saleswoman as a special advisor.

And why not? She's also a bean expert.

[Sogo]

17. Call for martial law when all 50 state capitols are under assault this weekend....

Let's see, that will be Plan B or C or D.....What letter are we up to now?

Signed, Donald J. "I'm Smarter than all the Generals" Trump

[greenjar_01]

18. I hate it here

[Brother Mythos]

19. Trump's next meeting will probably be with Ted Nugent, Kevin Sorbo, and Chachi.

And, if that doesn't get him results, he might bring in Kristi Alley and Kid Rock. You can practically smell the Trump desperation wafting out of the White House right now.

[Quixote1818]

20. I'm guessing Trump is going to sleep on it.

[Talitha]

21. I guess Scott Baio wasn't available.

22. Bring me the soft pillows!

They're forming the Spanish inquisition Brigade.

23. Does he have clearance to participate in CIA leadership, Acting National Security, major foreign

policy, and declaiming marshal law with POTUS? I thought you needed background checks for that. I needed tons of clearance to stand by the water cooler in a government facility.
