Which of these is beyond the pale, no Barr or Rump wouldn't do it or TRY to do it?

Having been scolded repeatedly for saying he is guilty of treason (the day after he was elected) and other things, and VERY recently for suggesting something else, I thought I would give this a try.

Go ahead and tell me what they would not do or try to do, it is important to include "try."

people from voting.

Mostly, because I don't think the military command would go for it.

How's that?

4. I agree, the handful of Generals and Admirals would not, what about the one million or whatever

the number is of natl guard and all branches of the service and white nationalist police?

Do you think the generals could control all soldiers and sailors and marines if rump, pretend prez, told them to attack us?

there would be various "militias" coming to stand with guns and scare people off by threatening them and the cops not doing anything.

8. I dont have any answers, either. What I do is I imagine what is the worst possible thing they

could do including kill me, and I predict that, and they then do that, every fucking time.

Now we see rump admin forcing hysterectomies on BROWN Women so they wont have any more BROWN babies.

Guess there is nothing they wont do, eh.

And no the command wont allow that, but they could be overcome easily by the sycophant rank and file especially if the traitor tells them to do it and he has their back.

I'm really scared that no matter what happens, there will be horrific things happening on the days just before and after the election.

Mentally preparing for the worst, hoping for the best.

W did speak out but he has to go on natl tv with Jimmy and Barack and demand Barr resignation and NOW

as if it has some significance. It doesn't. It is a meaningless ritual - a courtesy polite candidate extend to each other.
