When you are the man in charge, and have the power to undo bad, and evil, policy like the Vatican-China deal, to speak of such a policy as being “visited” upon him is asinine beyond belief, especially since the Pope just recently extended the agreement. This monument to betrayal of faithful Chinese Catholics is in place because the Pope wants it to be in place, period.

Agree. And likewise Trump should use the full powers of his office to restore faith in our Constitutional government. Accordingly, The Insurrection Act enables Trump to use the military to seize the key electoral evidence in contested states and deliver a transparent, accurate accounting of the vote. Trump must do this. He really has little choice.
Such an act Michael would be evil, unconstitutional and futile. I can think of few actions more likely to destroy the conservative movement. The idea of using the military, which would disobey in any case, to resolve an election dispute is congealed insanity.
Many of these suspicious machines are in states with a Republican Governor. Using the State police to seize and secure voting machines would allow solving this at the local level. Democratic governors on the other hand will use state police to deny entry or evict legally designated poll watchers.
Is seems that each day we see more evidence that this fraudulent election is a wide conspiracy, with Establishment Republicans as as part of the fix.
I think that Taylor Marshall is correct with his opinion that a primary reason for the CCB supporting Democrats is because government payments to the church for resettlement projects has become a major source of revenue.
Likewise the Chinese Communist Government have the wealth and power that gives Pope Frances the freedom to pursue policies that faithful Catholics would not support.
Poor Pope Francis–the ChiComs threw him into the briar patch again.
My apologies Michael for focusing on voting machines in my previous post when when your reference was “key electoral evidence”. As Barnes has explained the greatest yield for voter fraud is signature verification, if the governors of Arizona and Georgia had seized voting evidence immediately it may have been easier to establish a patter of fraud. I suspect mailing envelopes and other evidence of fraud have been destroyed at this point. The Republican leadership also failed to clean voter rolls before the election as Judicial Watch was suing for.
The governors states of most concern for fraud:
Georgia (R)
Arizona (R)
Michigan (D)
Wisconsin (D)
Pennsylvania (D)
Nevada (D)
The elections have revealed that the judiciary is worthless, as are the usual run of Chamber-of-Commerce Republican politicians. (I have a suspicion that Raffersperger has been bought off). Someone has to start organizing the Proud Boys so the next time this happens, the judges and the scam artists working for the Democratic Party are going to have to face down a militia. At that point, local police are going to have to decide whether they stand down or enforce the criminal conduct of Democratic officialdom. That’s where we are.
I think a large share of the general officer corps is at this point insubordinate to Trump, so martial law is not an option even if you have impeccable justification for it. Kurt Schlicter, who is a retired army colonel who has also participated in domestic policing (the LA riots in 1992) was this summer throwing cold water on the idea (implicit in some of Tucker Carlson’s commentary) that it would be advisable to put the military to work domestically. The essence of his argument was that without co-operation from local forces, the logistics are very expensive though not necessarily insuperable. He also thought that the effort would be fairly bloody and used by the enemy for public relations. Schlicter also offers the opinion that most of the general officer corps is composed of institutional politicians and that a new Republican president would be well-advised to cashier the whole lot and invite some of the best among them to return. No clue if that’s wise, but Schlicter does have an informed opinion on the matter. (I have little doubt that Schlicter’s advice would be advisable if applied to the lawyers in the Department of Justice).
