Iraq was bogus from the get-go, but CheneyCo was a force. It took a lot of heavy lifting from a lot of people to pull that one off. In comparison, Trump is one freelancer on a toilet with a cellphone.

...that's full of posts pledging armed conflict if Chump is impeached. Seriously.

Disturbing stuff but forewarned is forearmed...

their little armed insurrection would be obliterated in minutes if not seconds. But there will be plenty of portapotties in case of spontaneous incontinence. That seems to be an issue with this group. Maybe they shouldn't eat such garbage.

Might be wishful thinking... but they seem less 'trump infected' than other parts of the government.

We should be very concerned.

I still don't understand, Why Ghouliani hasn't been brought up on charges of inciting violence?

from his safe space in Scotland. Bastard basically told them to be ready to fight if tRump is impeached. I hope when indictments are handed out, that he is one of the recipients. America’s Mayor, my ass.

was supposed to be their Lexington and Concord. One year later they couldn't even get 50 people to show up and the main organizer is live streaming from daddy's house.

You don't need to be worried. They like to talk tough but they'll slither back into their holes the second things get too hot for them.
