ALL HAIL KAISER OBAMA!!

I made some comment to this person's posting. In my first comment I wrote It ain't that easy for him to do such a thing.

Then someone wrote that he could do so. So I made a search and found the same wiki-page as you did and some article.

I don't know whether a President has to defend his or her step I presume that he or she has to. To declare Martial Law is not just some small step and when it's really no reason to make such a move I guess a President would have very difficult to defend this move.
(I tried to find the answer to my question)

Well, so long Obama, enjoy retirement!

Tomorrow should be the start of interesting times. I hope none of the people attending the Presidential inauguration are injured or killed by rioting extremists.

Oberon · 01-19-17, 10:49 PM

Should be interesting, certainly.

Wonder if we'll see scenes like this:

I mean, those million bikers are going to have to park somewhere, aren't they?

Today is the dawn of a new era and hopefully a positive one for the people of the USA.

Shaping up that way although the expected rain may dampen the enthusiasm a bit.

Um, did anyone tell Trump he actually won? His speech was just a rehash of the other speeches he gave on the campaign trail, nothing really new or compelling. I'd read and heard he was writing his own speech rather than use speechwriters, but this sounded like he gave the occasion very little, if any, thought or preparation...

<O>

I don't think Trump was ever going to be good for memorable oration.

USA is going to protectionism. Welcome to the medieval.

This day the world will be change to worse. It goes dark.

Sorry disturbing the party.

It's ok, we'll survive.
