  • In Wake Of Mob's Siege Of Capitol, Trump Hands Out Medals For Golf

    A day after inciting a mob of his supporters to riot and breach the US Capitol, President Donald Trump returned to his very important work. Trump's public schedule said he would have 'many meetings' and 'many calls.' CNN reports on Thursday, Trump also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to golfers Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player. The president's attempted return to business as usual comes amid the ongoing global pandemic and after a stunning siege, which he personally incited. In one of his 'many calls,' Trump phoned into the Republican National Committee's winter meeting. But the RNC is currently an active crime scene. As a pipe bomb was found outside the RNC on Wednesday, Trump was forced to cancel his planned Thursday evening video address.

  • Michael Flynn: President Trump, Please Suspend The Constitution And Declare Martial Law

    Former national security advisor Michael Flynn shared an ad from a right-wing activist group on Twitter on Tuesday. The group is calling on President Donald Trump to invoke martial law, to 'temporarily suspend the Constitution,' and have the military hold a new election. In his post, Flynn tagged several Trump-supporting lawyers and media personalities, and wrote, 'Freedom never kneels except for God.' Business Insider reports the ad came from Tom Zawistowski, the president of a right-wing Ohio activist group called the We The People Convention. In fact, the president may not unilaterally cancel, delay, postpone, or change the date of an election, even if he declares martial--that power lies with Congress. Declaring martial law also does not suspend the Constitution, and the military has no role in administering elections.
