Sums this up perfectly: “Imagine if a large group of black men with assault weapons and ski masks were marching in the VA capital.“
Oh, that happened. Wondering what the response was?
”The Mulford Act was a 1967 California bill that repealed a law allowing public carrying of loaded firearms. Named after Republican assemblyman Don Mulford, and signed into law by then governor of California, Ronald Reagan, the bill was crafted in response to members of the Black Panther Party who were conducting armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods while they were conducting what would later be termed copwatching”

I flipped over to this for 5 minutes and saw some scenario that involved a baby in a car seat being launched from a rolling vehicle and landing in a tree unharmed. Not the actual scene of that happening, which could have been amusing in a Sharknado way at least, but rather the aftermath where they’re just climbing a ladder to take a baby out of a fucking tree.
That was some the most cringeworthy television I’ve ever seen. I mean, even with today’s low standards, I have to ask ... is this supposed to be serious?
Medical Police on Netflix is better written and produced.

“The Know Nothing, formally known as the Native American Party and the American Party from 1855 onwards, was a far-right nativist political party and movement in the United States which operated nationwide in the mid-1850s. It was primarily an anti-Catholic, anti-immigration, and xenophobic movement, originally starting as a secret society. The Know Nothing movement also briefly emerged as a major political party in the form of the American Party. Adherents to the movement were to simply reply "I know nothing" when asked about its specifics by outsiders, providing the group with its common name.[1]
Supporters of the Know Nothing movement believed that an alleged "Romanist" conspiracy was being planned to subvert civil and religious liberty in the United States, and sought to politically organize native-born Protestants in what they described as a defense of their traditional religious and political values. The Know Nothing movement is remembered for this theme because of fears by Protestants that Catholic priests and bishops would control a large bloc of voters. In most places, the ideology and influence of the Know Nothing movement lasted only a year or two before disintegrating due to weak and inexperienced local leaders, a lack of publicly declared national leaders, and a deep split over the issue of slavery. In the South, the party did not emphasize anti-Catholicism as frequently as it did in the North, but it became the main alternative to the dominant Democratic Party.[1]”

4 hours ago, Mrs Whiggins said:In the back of my mind I've gone full Brisket and figure their (GOP) back up strategy (if Trump is out) is full on civil war using whatever police/military/militia white supremacist supporters they can muster to cause chaos and unrest. Then they begin the process of dismantling what remains of the full and fair electoral system so we have what all the other unstable countries have.
But, if the republic and America can hold on, we better get to work.
The police, military, etc. do not want the chaos and unrest that you think they can cause, because that means they stop getting paychecks, the local grocery stores stop getting food, the power stops working, their families start having problems feeding and taking care of themselves, not to mention that if you have chaos, cops and their families are going to have a big bullseye on their back. And there won’t be working phones or radios to call for backup.
Let’s say Trumpkins appeal to the militias. Bubba in his double-wide meets up with his militia. They are going to come into conflict with the local cops. Let’s say they kill some cops, maybe take control of a town hall. Then what? The state police, National Guard, and feds are going to run a train on Bubba and Co.If the GOP foments chaos, that is going to create a lot of bad shit for the BMDs of the GOP It could wreck insurance companies, banks, power companies, oil & gas companies, manufacturers, food companies, etc.and the list goes on. There are a shit-ton of BMDs who would lose billions in wealth of a civil war erupted
Hell, we don’t bail out car companies or farmers because we give a shit about a few tens of thousands of auto workers and a few thousand family farms, we do it because there are BMDs, whether they are wealthy investors or companies, who will lean on Republicans, and who will switch their allegiance to the Democrats In a heartbeat if the Rs don’t give them what they want.
If Trump is somehow out, the GOP’s absolute best strategy is to get Pence or another complacent Republican who can do better at the polls against the dems, into place ASAP, and that’s what they will do

In other words, we are fucked.
We know the Senate will cover for him, and because of how it plays out, they will be doing so very visibly.
Who will be more inspired to get out and vote? Pissed off Dems and moderates, or smug Trumpkins?
And how is Trump going to pull off Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona? Well, scratch Arizona, that’s a lost cause. And plenty in Wisconsin are furious that the taxpayers got publicly fucked over Foxcon.
So that’s 21 electoral votes gone. And that’s before we start talking about anger in Michigan.
