Be Prepared To Go Batshit Crazy Like SGT Riggs "Lethal Weapon" In The End. .

Every day we hear more absolutely insane deluded demented and dangerous rhetoric from Trump, his supporters, GOP politicians that go pretty much unanswered. The MSM moderators and show hosts just sit there in concerned passive amazement and lets them get away with anything said no matter how vile or dangerous, racist or bigoted it is. Their challenges are weak and inefffectual.

In the end someone is just have to really combative and militant with one of these dangerous pricks. Understand we are in a really new territory. No amount of protests, petitions, requests, admonitions, resistance et al are going to work. The GOP and its allies are out to literally fuck, rape and pillage the general public.

The question is what are we going to do about it and how are we going to do it. We will find out that we have ourselves backed into a corner with no way out. Read the writing on the wall as we go forward. Look at what is coming down the pipeline from these political terrorists.

What I do not understand is all the silence and apathy about what is going on generally. Polls showing most non voters do not regret they complacency is absolutely appalling.

Sgt Riggs character played by Mel Gibson in "Lethal Weapon".

We are at a point where we are seeing and hearing a lot of things that are so completely off the chart they must be responded to and pushed back. For instance that idiot not treating his kid. The GOP closing down the Flint investigation. Michigan governor putting in a computer program the is labeling so many unemployment claims fraudulent forcing claimants to pay penalties when they have NO job. Cruz putting up NATIONAL antigay legislation that would make religious discrimination legal and unprecedented. And it goes on and on.

they always think they have a mandate. All they need is enough power to activate it.

In Lethal Weapon Mel's character was faced with some extreme situations that required him to take some extreme actions.
Of course I am not recommending the same kinds of extreme actions he took. What am saying is that we are facing situations that are now beyond anything the US has seen.

Non cooperation and passive resistance will not really suffice in the end based on what is going on right now. The GOP is prepared to go to extremes never imagined in recent times. Look at where we are going instead of where we are right now. For instance the GOP want to eventually make even birth control illegal. They also want make being LGBTQ illegal and allow discrimination of all kinds for that group and even other groups NOT approved of by the religious right.

There will be a time that we will have to confront these GOP bastards personally.

since the members of my family that have died from booze have gone pretty crazy before the end.

I do know I'll look for ways not to cooperate with this Comey enabled coup.
