The FDNY said that six firefighters suffered injuries. They pushed in heroically, they were knocking down the fire, they found one occupant of the apartment on the 50th floor,вЂќ Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said. вЂњThe apartment was virtually entirely on fire. The NYPD identified the victim as Todd Brassner, 67. And itвЂ™s what we need right now.ДЄ four-alarm fire on the 50th floor of New York CityвЂ™s Trump Tower left one man dead and six firefighters injured, the FDNY said. This is known, my friends, as house-fire nationalism. Okay, not Reichstag-tier, but we can still work with this.ДЄ burning building was once used to give a great leader dictatorial power over a nation.

Chief among these are repealing the Insurrection Act, which lets the President put federal troops in our streets repealing the National Emergencies Act, which gives the President enormous powers when he or she unilaterally declares an emergency and overturning National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 51, which gives the President even more powers after he or she unilaterally declares a вЂњcatastrophic emergency.вЂќ One would be to require approval of Congress before the President could issue such a declaration. 20, Congress will need to pass laws, on the double, that would prevent a future President from even considering martial law. Trump has exposed the weaknesses of our much-ballyhooed system of checks and balances.ДЄssuming that Trump does leave office by Jan. His chief of staff reportedly argued strenuously against it, and military leaders have shown no inclination to go along вЂ“ quite the contrary.Д«ut the very idea that he is considering doing this should put all of us on our guard.ДЄnd even if he fails, he is setting the table for the next narcissist or Fascist who would ride into the Oval Office. Trump probably wonвЂ™t be able to pull it off. When democracy is under all-out threat, minimizing the risk is a dangerous course of action. Republican officials again have remained cravenly quiet.ДЄnd with the exception of CNN, most of the media have given it only faint coverage.

Outrageous as it is, TrumpвЂ™s consideration of martial law hasnвЂ™t received the attention and denunciation it deserves and demands. To even consider imposing martial law should be anathema to anyone who respects democracy and is sworn to uphold the Constitution.ДЄnd to consider it for the sole and selfish purpose of holding on to power marks a new low, one that even Richard Nixon didnвЂ™t stoop to.ДЄnd letвЂ™s remember, Trump did this after his defeat was upheld in every state court and every federal court, including the U.S. This will leave the ultimate stain on TrumpвЂ™s reputation, along with the blood of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died of COVID due to his negligence and narcissism.

Michael Flynn was in the Oval Office urging Trump to engage in this grotesquely unconstitutional and anti-constitutional maneuver. 18, Donald Trump held a discussion in the Oval Office about imposing martial law.Дisgraced Gen.
