Maher's Warning -- Democrats Better Have A Plan & Play By ONE Set of Rules

Peaceful transition?

The Left had better get its shit together cuz if 45 wants you to know one thing, it's that he doesn't lose, other than

two marriages
three casinos
an airline
a football league
four magazines
a vodka brand
a steak brand
a university and
a charity

45 never loses anything! And never wrong!

A sore winner is an even sorer loser.


My question is: since depending on rule of law enforcement hasn't really worked so well, what will. Seriously.

1) that he and Dump are in the same business
2) that Dump won't leave

Maybe the only thing that will work is ridicule--from his own base.

And with the number of federal judges trump’s appointing, we could be finished.

... the inside. If he/she is still there, better start making contacts with 'Home-of-the-Brave' military just in case?

They're not going to crown a well-known non-cadet bone-spurs and let him self-proclaim IMPOTUS for life and keep putting their troops at risk on crazy irresponsible whims won't they???

Obedience to orders seems to trump any other overrides like thought or morality.

Given the presence of AI in their system, sources for our military's money might come from sources other than Congress, and thus, no accountability except to unknown payors.

This isn't some Wm Gibson fantasy; this is likely reality.

We could very well be on our own with no one coming except to stop us, whatever we try.

Cynicism on my part, sure, but born from watching patterns of how military is adjacent to, but not protective of, its home country's civilians.

over the past 3 years - not a big splash like Mattis, but there has seemingly been a steady stream. Sadly, I'm guessing most have been replaced by Trump loyalists
