Martial law

[u/Gwarsss]

If martial law is declared on 4/20 (also hitlers birthday) we need to make sure we prep. I saw a good post about that. But incase this happens I think we should email our governors, senators, and congressmen/congresswomen to declare independence from the 50 states and join Canada or stay as our own nation. All of Cascadia, and maybe some other blue states also. But we need out states to stand strong if this does happen, please email the governors of Washington, Oregon, and California asking if martial law is declared to declare independence and get in contact with other governors about this subject. Cascadia we need to stand strong, email your governor.

Check comments for the link to the preparations. And if your worrying about it being unconstitutional to declare independence, martial law will most likely be also and you could make a case for this being a overturning of the government by the people for taking away unalienable rights.

Before you hate read the linked post please… it’s also a rumor.

And no this does not mean I believe it.

Once again, a liberal who decided to name call rather than engage in the argument at hand.

Cutting massive government waste is not authoritarian.

It is when the president steals the power of the purse from Congress.

You should try reading the constitution sometime.

[u/WeirdSouth8254 → u/nikdahl]

Use an example. Because Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton all used executive actions to skirt Congress. If you're going to be upset when Trump does it but ignore when others use it you need to check yourself. It is either a violation to the constitution for everyone or no one.

Looks like you need to go do some reading.

Use an example? The entirety of doge is unconstitutional. Those funds were approved by Congress and the president. Stealing powers from Congress is unconstitutional.

Show me an example of Biden stealing power from Congress.

Clinton and Gore also tried government reform on spending. Jefferson, Jackson, Harding, and others all tried it too. Nice try.

Biden side stepped Congress in an "emergency" weapons sale to Isreal. And that's just 1 example.

Prove it

[u/WeirdSouth8254 → u/nikdahl]

Which part? Biden? Do a quick Google.

If you're looking at the other presidents, it's called a history book.

[u/nikdahl → u/WeirdSouth8254]

So nothing ?

Using emergency powers to sell weapons is not even in the same realm of what doge is. If you are trying to compare the two, you’ve already lost.

[u/WeirdSouth8254 → u/nikdahl]

Excuse me?

Doge is operating under the same principle of emergency powers.

Your blind hatred it showing.

[u/nikdahl → u/WeirdSouth8254]

There is no emergency. That’s a fucking farce and you know it.

[u/WeirdSouth8254 → u/nikdahl]

Crippling national debt is not an emergency? It is the most important national emergency. We can't default as a country. There are too many programs that need to sustain long term. But, we can not continue at the current rates. We have to trim something, or the whole thing collapses.

Continuing to pass the buck to our children and grandchildren is not a solution.

[u/nikdahl → u/WeirdSouth8254]

Correct, it is not, in any way, an emergency, let alone "the most important emergency"

There is nothing pressing about it the demands the President trample the constitution and wipe his ass on the separation of powers.

You sound like a fascist.

[u/WeirdSouth8254 → u/nikdahl]

You sound like an ignorant communist.

Do you honestly expect the government to just continue to write checks without money?
