Part of me wants to say this is just an interwebs hard man talking bollocks... the other part of me knows that in this febrile atmosphere there may be something to this because now they have their 'guy' in the WH - they in no way want to give that up. Nazi's everywhere cannot believe their luck having Trump in charge and mainstreaming their far right hatred. They will do anything they can to keep the current status quo. At this point an examination of how quickly Hitler destroyed democratic norms in Germany is probably not a bad plan, with the violent reinforcement of power with the very specially evil brownshirts to give him the back up on the ground to ensure total obedience...

(9,426 posts)The gop scraped the very bottom of their barrel to reach tRump. He is the very worst, dumbest, least liked person EVER to get into the WH. The gop bend over backwards to protect his orange arse. It is a joke, and the joke is on us ifwe do not destroy the gop party. The entire world is watching, shocked that the US is sliding off the cliff into raw Nazi territory. Let tRump face the music for the first time in his mis-spent life. He is well on his way to completely destroying the USA, all for Putin's benefit. Someday we will discover the truth behind all of this.

(2,275 posts)It says right there in the Constitution that only a "well-regulated" militia has the right to bear arms, i.e. the US military. By extension that murderer posing as a Navy Seal which the orange devil pardoned was unconstitutionally pardoned.
Don't ever let an asshole posing as an American patriot tell you we have an unconditional right to bear arms. "For the purposes of a well-regulated militia" is right there in plain language. We LET THEM omit it.

But not to worry. She will be very concerned about Anus Orangeanus' behavior but she will vote against conviction.

(9,963 posts)I believe we have a major problem in this country with the hundreds of self-appointed citizen militias, all of whom are armed to the teeth. I could not find much information on how many people belong to these groups, but theyre in all 50 states. Theyre Trump supporters, and they believe they are preparing to overthrow the government if necessarymeaning if Trump asks them to. Hes vindictive and unstable. Who knows what crazy thing he might ask the militias to do.
Threats like this one are another reason for the Senate vote to be secret.

(184 posts)As weve seen a thousand times in the past, these limp wiener jack legs couldnt and in reality wouldnt do what they chicken schmidtly claim they are going to do. How many times were they going to overthrow Obama and it was a dozen cross-eyed idiots walking in circles pretending to be thousands (in their mind). You could send Barney Fife and theyd hide in their mommies basement shaking in fear.
