  - If Harris wins, and the GOP starts these shenanigan again, then the Biden admin needs to declare Martial Law nationally and start arresting traitors. -- nm - Jovian Nov 1, 09:41 4
    - not that I'd ever expect that from Joe or his weak feckless bitch of an AG, Merrick Garland. -- nm - Jovian Nov 1, 09:45 3
      - In the face of an insurrection of this scale I think they would have to act in some way. I don't know that martial law is their only option - pmb Nov 1, 10:02 2
