This seems extremely not great.
Trump just met with the My Pillow guy (which, why does that sentence make sense, this is the worst dystopia), and a WaPo reporter got a picture of Lindell's rather disturbing meeting notes

So when one has only 3/4ths of a sheet of notes one can't be sure
But oh boy, it sure looks like Mr. Pillow is encouraging Trump to blame the 1/6 insurrection on China and/or Iran, then move to declare martial law
Probably won't happen. Don't love it

Who is Kash Patel, the guy Mr. Pillow would like to make acting head of the CIA?
He's currently the Pentagon Chief of Staff and a loyal Trumper. He's one of the people who stonewalled on the transition of power in a very dangerous way https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-loyalist-kash-patel-blocking-some-pentagon-officials-helping-biden-n1250053

Yesterday, Patel wrote an article for Fox News in which he assured the nation that the transition would go smoothly, which is a hell of a thing to say 5 days before inauguration
I think it is maybe too late for a smooth transition and I have questions https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/defense-department-biden-transition-kash-patel

Let's look at the other people Mr. Pillow mentioned
Sidney Powell: a lawyer who thinks Venezuela hacked the voting machines and urged Trump to seize said machines
Trump considered appointing her as head of a "special council" to investigate voter fraud https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/19/us/politics/trump-sidney-powell-voter-fraud.html

(I have no idea who Bill or Kurt Olsen are, if anyone knows please tell me and I'll tack your tweet to the end of this thread)
Trump is desperate, but I'm not sure this would work even if he decided to take the advice of a reactionary pillow salesman
The military would have to go along with it. A lot of institutions currently marshalled in defense against insurrection would have to switch sides

I choose not to lose sleep over Mr. Pillow's martial law plan and hope I'm right
My completely arbitrary coup meter rises slightly to 7/10
Fingers crossed

Kurt Olsen may be this sketchy lawyer who worked on Trump's Texas election lawsuit for free: https://twitter.com/calinative/status/1350219418568183812?s=19
