My daughter woke up this morning and she said she had a dream...

that Trump lost the election and he refused to leave the WH. He said the Dems cheated. The SCOTUS orders him to leave the WH and the white supremacist and militia groups guarded the outside and inside of the WH to prevent him from being ousted. She said there were a lot of fights and bloodshed. I told her that I could see that happening, he's horrible enough to do that.

whatever combined forces who would show up to escort Trump out of the White House.

And I can't see any court getting in the way.

they are not completely stupid, and like the white supremacist at the Charlottesville when confronted with jail time put the video out crying and shitting his pants, well they too are cowards who will know they don't have a chance against the army, they won't "guard" the idiot for too long. We have to expect the army to do its duty and carry the SOB out of the White House.

myself to stop doing it.

A couple of months ago I fell sleep with my ipad on my lap listening to Rachel Maddow, I was so tired, turned it off, put my head on the pillow and then I started thinking about all the crap the creature does, boom! I started feeling anxiety, woke up and had to get up from the bed, walked around the house for a while, picked up a book and read for a couple of hours until I fell sleep with the book on my lap. From that moment on I have disciplined myself to not think about the creature because I know its not healthy for me.

Tell your daughter that all will be fine, we are going to get out of this one intact, and that although white supremacists like to look tough, they are not stupid, they know they would not win that one, there are plenty of examples from the not so distant past where they have tried to get tough and ended up leaving with their tails between their legs, they are not that brave, they pretend to be against people who will not fire back at them, and the army WILL fire back at them, same with the police, so tell her not to worry, we will win this one.

see who won the battle?

I could see that happening too but I suspect it will be sooner, like this year or early Jan. due to removal from office after convicted of impeachable crimes. He'll refuse to leave. We'll probably need to burn the WH down to cleanse it after this regime's using it for an outhouse anyway.

The thing is, once removed from power, he no longer commands anyone and he will be removed by our LE forces who are pretty well attended by firepower when needed.

Let them invite every nutjob to DC and then have real soldiers—The U.S.military—engage them in a take-no-prisoners battle against traitors.

They wanna play army? That’s how it’s played in the real world.

Thu Oct 10, 2019, 09:48 AM

He's far to much a coward to make a last stand. When he loses in 2020 he'll claim the election was rigged and call for his followers to publicly ignore the election results.

He may flee the country to avoid arrest for his many unearthed crimes, and lead the "resistance" from afar, probably Russia, possibly Brazil.

His sons will go to prison.

His daughter-wife will probably not go to prison, but her husband (I hope and pray) will.

Meanwhile, the man, himself, will foment rebellion from a penthouse somewhere, eating cheeseburgers, drinking diet Coke, and tweeting mindlessly and with no effect. Ultimately losing favor with Putin or Bolsonaro, and left to his own devices, he will end up dying on the frigid streets of Moscow (or a bleak and filth strewn back alley in Brasilia), muttering to passersby for months before passing that he is the rightful president of the United States of America but was ousted by the mexicans, the islamist terrorists, the blacks, browns, and jews.

I favor the frigid streets of Moscow, but in Brasilia his passing would be more obscure and merit just a whisper of comment in the MSM. So, yeah, either venue would be cool.

Grab a few ringleaders, load them into the paddy wagons (careful maintenance of a clear gap between ringleader's skull and door frame optional), and the rest will run home to change into clean undies.

...ignoring subpoenas, court orders, laws, decimating the institutions that make our democracy work...all of it, is exactly what I feared would be the result of his taking office in 2017. I think your daughter's dream will come true. and I fear Russian troops will help the militias and white supremacists with their agenda. I pray there are enough patriots in our own armed forces to resist what may come.

I say build a wall around him and lock the gate. We likely need to build a new White House anyway as he has corrupted the one we have. Encircle the militia and Trump and any Republican seeking refuge with their great leader. Leave them in there as a living instructional monument to the cost of greed and arrogance. We can build the prison around him.

The white house is just a building. Once the new president is sworn in little donnie orange is a nobody once again. The real president can call in any force he or she deems necessary to take out the invaders.
