that all the tough guys support this big fat pussy snowflake. I think once again he has deluded himself

You should edit before you catch a "hide"...

Cohen testified that he feared that Trump could call for a revolution of his supporters if he fails to win the election. I have no doubt that he may very well go to that extreme. Remember what he said when asked if he would concede if Hilary won. He said that you will have to wait and see. This is the key to our system in which the loser gracious concedes unlike the other governments in which it results end up in armed rebellion. If it comes that our nation will be in great peril. There are thousands of his supporters who are armed to the teeth and just need and excuse to start a internal war. Just today he said that he has a lot of tough supporters, military, police and bikers who are his supporters and will not hesitate to defend him.

a domestic terrorist along with his followers.

stand up to his craven followers. Something tells me that they won't have the red hats on.

He does have supporters in the police. And doubtless some in the military as well, albeit hopefully not much in the officer corps. His blanket statement that he "has the support" of the police and military isn't true, but "zero supporters" isn't either.

Are they ready to die for MF45? Are they ready to murder for Dump?

Spend the rest of their life in prison for tRump?

Not many redhats willing to go that far.

There are a few though...

I'm sure Duh Furor thinks the whole US military and every cop in America ready to rise up in violence for him.

When in reality its the brain addled 70 YOs plus that have their TV tuned permanently to Fox noise and couldn't get out of their easy chair and run to the bathroom if their life depended on it much less lead an armed overthrow of democracy!

We are still a nation of laws no matter how much Trump tries to thwart them.

are tuned in to Rush Limbaugh every day. Our friends (who are very progressive) have a son who went into the Marines and came out a right wing ideologue.

to express political opinions in any way. Even the kids of military are not allowed to. One guy in my dad's group got called in and officially chewed out because his wife wrote to the President on a military related subject. When some kids did some painting of words on base once all the men were told to remind their wives and kids that this was not allowed as we were not to have political opinions in public. If the Generals say or do anything they are breaking the rules.

Should trump give them one

few responders to harsh events (as opposed to consoling the victims of tragedies). Dictators always curry favor with authorities and NOT the oppressed.

At this point those remaining are now officially known as: Suckers for Trump. May as well put a sign on their ass saying "kick me".

The few RW type acquaintances I know on Facebook and elsewhere have been dead silent concerning Trump lately and actually the hero worship has been fading for quite some time now.

Instead, most political comments, if any, are about scary socialists and AOC or Warren.

He has tons of support with the police, the military and biker gangs. We see them all the time where we live.

He can't imagine how cowardly he looks in that photo! Good grief.

Those are the Village People.

And they all blame the Democrats for them not getting paid for 35 days. SMH

He also issued a similar warning in November.

good on this. bonus: we have no secretary of defense.

Not that it would matter. Trumps a blathering fool.

Everything is black & white for him. Like how he resents helping blue states after a natural disaster, in spite of the fact that every state has tons of republicans, too.

How does this fucker get away with this shit?? Hell we said that here and we would be BANNED!!

I figure by the time the entire case against Trump is laid out, those groups he claims support him will be against him.

And when things get tough he will coward in a corner and cry...

I would like to know who, in the military, would go out with their guns and hit against his "opponents"...If that is true then they need to be outed and they need to resign/discharged from the military, that would be breaking their oath..“will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”, and the orange buffoon is definitely a domestic threat...he wants to have a militia the same way Chavez and Maduro have in Venezuela (Colectivos), who have killed a lot of innocent people "defending" the "Robolution" (Kleptocracy - 'Robo' ---> to rob).

a little plausible.

I knew guys who would jump at the chance to murder minorities, gays, strong independent women, etc. They were a little unhinged.

because there is no way in hell I would jump in to take a bullet to protect this guy.

Imagine going from the Obama detail to The Donald's detail. Bummer.

And he will tweet and say more concerning harming his opposition. RWers are talking about another civil war. These people are seriously endangering the USA.

His solution to being defeated by democratic constitutional processes is to threaten violence against his opponents.

There are more of us than them. This is sedition, plain and simple.

A bully and a coward. Oh and also a LOSER. sad.

It would really help if law enforcement threw down the gauntlet toward the head of organized crime in the U.S. by arresting, at least, his son-in-law.

like a 7th grader running for class president - and now he's sounding like the 7th grade bully!

Send him to the Principal's office ("Excuse me, Mr. Mueller, I've been sent to see you...........&quot and throw his a$$ out of school!

Then use it to his advantage if he can. Martial law , so he can bypass Congress with it? Twitter should ban him.

Twitter: Should I pick the right choice, or the choice that gets me publicity? Hmmm....

I really fear for this country in the days following the 2020 election.

him and he feels powerful enough, so when will he feel cornered enough?

I don't think the military is as much in his pocket as he thinks.

Yes, it is a real threat... "saying it would be "very bad" if his supporters in the military, police and a biker group were provoked into getting "tough"

This is against the U.S.Constitution (I believe)

How does Trump define, "provoke" and how will that happen? Is Trump going to provoke them to act?

Lawyers that are here in DU.. .Is this a threat?
How would a reasonable judge interpret this? What would a constitutional historian say? But one thing is very good.....

And that is this: ..It is out there for all to see. Everyone can read and see this and comment on this. Everyone..and the country will decide if he broke the law.. (because he just did for everyone to see.)

Of course, he doesn't know it, and is too stupid to see the significance. But the lawyers know, and so do the courts know. ......

Did he mean to threaten Dems with violence? Fuck yes he did.

Did he explicitly, proveable-in-a-court-of-law threaten the left? Nope.

He needs to be thrown under the mental ward in a high security prison.

for making this veiled threat. Oooh tough guy.

Far more stupider than anyone thought. He has taken that step that could do it. No President threatens the opposition with force in this manner. He could apologize for saying this, but he won't..This one he will not get away with. This one could unify much of his opposition against him. Yes, I do believe some Republicans will stand against threats like this. (some)


It could be a long ACT IV...the last act. Or it could be very short.
Talking like this, is indeed an impeachable offense. Trump is much too stupid to know it, but many others do know it.

This will get "normalized" by the goopers and the media. "Well, you know how he is, he says stuff he doesn't mean"..."they're just words, he's not serious when he makes comments that "may offend" others"...etc etc.

admissions story.

But believe it or not, the admissions story is huge. It would be hard to underestimate how many middle class Americans it affects. My son is a high level college bound athlete. I get emails from recruiting outfits who will help raise his profile for a fee every. single. day. To include from the IMG academy who is caught up in this. I'm guessing every family with any kid in any club sport in the country is receiving the same emails. The savvy among us can see it is plainly a scam, this sheds a little more light. My kid is lucky, he is genuinely being recruited but there are thousands, probably millions, of kids who wish they were, with parents willing to do "whatever it takes."

Do you think.it's above 50%?

I have witnessed this first hand, I have seen progressives join & come out racist, tRump loving nuts, some scary stuff.

They don't get facts.

contract when he gets the boot.

He certainly doesn't have a majority.

This is absolutely insane and terrifying. If he's threatening his opponents in the U.S. with armed violence, just imagine what he could do to foreign opponents.

1. No cover ups..
2. No arguments as to what he said. (It is there for everyone to read and see)
3. No easy way out of what he said.
4. It is clearly against the law to threaten people
5. Some, yes some, republicans will stand up against this threat.
6. Since the sentence is clear and easy to understand, everyone will know and understand what he has said.
7. It is very hard to defend statements like this.

And...in my opinion this is it. The very last straw for all to see.. He has just struck out in the last of the 9th and the other side...(that is us) has won the ball game. He doesn't know it yet, but the lawyers and congress people will take over and show him the door, or carry him out of the theater... I think we have moved to the last act with this very public, and very stupid statement..

Ever since he had that epiphany during the campaign, that he could do anything, even shoot someone on Fifth Ave., he really thinks he can do or say anything without repercussions. He repeatedly crosses lines and either doesn't realize or doesn't think it matters.

We keep seeing "last straws", I wonder if this is really the one. What does this man have to do to get republicans in congress to act decisively and quickly? To quote a republican, "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud", only WE really mean it! The man is a clear and present danger and no one has any control over him except Vladimir Putin.

Well, at least he never wore a tan suit!

Just release the indictments, have him arrested, force the GOP to act like adults and lets move on with Pence as POTUS. Is it not obvious at this point that if he is allowed to run again, he will at some point be out right inciting violence?

asks the king. "rhetorically", of course.

Knowing that some actually will. Then he claims he had nothing to do with it, if it happens. Shameful so many believe this monster in this country. Inciting violence between people in his own country is acceptable?

He is far too stupid to be a member of the "Stupid Club" Trump needs to start his own club called, "The Stupidest People in the World Club"

He thinks he's a mob boss. Real mobsters take care of the families of those who do jail time for the higher-ups. Trump won't be able to help anyone who takes a hit for him.

Or weren't they tough enough?


Trump is a clear and present danger.

She wants him UNDER the jail. Amen to that!

if it is "conduct unbecoming." He sounds like a mafioso. He would claim it was a "joke." But saying it shows he does not respect the office he is in and its constitutional limits.

Also, it is not at the Washington Post.

Could Trump's allies have killed this story, or are other sources waiting for additional verification of these comments?

of citizens to be "safe in their persons" and every other constitutional amendment protection.

It's not a bully's threat when it comes from the nation's president.

This is a high crime. In full public view.

To be president to finally and fully discredit the current Republican Party and to finish off the evangelical movement. The blatant hypocrisy and and immorality is an abomination.

Sure sounds like it.

It's not a threat, it's incitement. The alt-right thugs are their target audience.

...?? Why not? I don't know. This looked very important and significant to me. "The President threatens his opponents" I think is an important story to all of us.

But if I remember correctly the oath I took I swore to obey legal orders from the chain of command and to protect and defend the constitution. A bunch of guys I took it with really meant that with all their hearts. And those are the ones who would foil any illegal suppression of American citizens.

military if the crunch comes.

Let us pray these people remember their oaths are not to Trump but to this nation.

Armed Forces
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

National Guard
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of (STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.

Federal Agents
I [name] do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

The clauses that should bind the military and national guard are, '...according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice,' and '...according to law and regulations.'

So, if it comes out that Trump has broken the law, and he is impeached, tried and removed from office, then he's no longer the president. Or, if he loses in 2020, and refuses to leave office, then he is also no longer the president. It is at that point that our armed forces, National Guard, and federal law enforcement MUST remember and uphold their oaths.

I guess the real question here is:

Will our institutions hold?

We'd better hope they do. Fervently.

Fomenting insurrection.

Rolling Stones hired the Hell''s angels to protect them on stage at Altamont ... and asked, "How can I hire these guys???"

ended either.

I'm very suspicious with all signs pointing to a resounding 2020 tRump defeat.

ANYWHERE THEY CAN and DEMAND to be heard, and should proceed to read IQ45 the freaking Riot Act.

The big corporate owned media really doesn't want to hear from little peons like me, I guess.
