But you can certainly see the outlines of a fascist Trump brigade of thugs, armed and angry, ready to mobilize and intimidate.  Trumps has already signaled his support.  All it really takes at this point is for Trump or someone else to organize these cretins.  And the lockdowns could be the triggering excuse.


They existed long before Trump

You should know.

It looks like nothing may have happened, Kid.

Her description of what happened is almost exactly like a scene in a particular novel.

A novel written by her father, before the alleged incident.


Yes.  Noted.

Yeah, there have been militia weirdos and racist hate groups for few decades. 
But they have mainly been in the rural areas, favoring Idaho and surroundings and formerly with outposts in San Diego.
The guys who blew up the OKC Fed building were somewhat connected with that.

The GOP has also been denigrating the Fed Gov't for a long time now.
(they love that Constitution though!)

Trump as an outsider, cult figure, who rails against gov't (the Deep State!), supports conspiracy theories, and has contempt for the media could be the type of demagogue to catalyze all these disaffected armed losers into a political mob.  We've never had such a lone wolf, demagogue, unbeholden to a party establishment as Trump before.  We're probably fortunate Trump isn't organized or disciplined enough to pull it off.

One problem is that the USA is such a big country.  It's not like in Europe where all you really need to do is intimidate and trample folks in the capital city and your work is largely done. And as I said, the cities in the US are liberal bastions.

Jeeeeeez, Chinese!



The country's Nine Network claimed that Chinese operatives had offered luxury car dealer Bo "Nick" Zhao $679,000 to run as a candidate for a parliamentary seat. The 32-year-old ended up dead in a Melbourne hotel room in March after reportedly approaching ASIO, Australia's counterespionage agency.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang brushed off the allegations, claiming Australian politicians and reporters were being paranoid

A significant USA political firewall is that most state capitals are not the largest, most important city.  Therefore you have Albany and Springfield, Sacramento, etc.  Not that taking them over wouldn't be a concern, but controlling Albany and not NYC only gets you so far.

The fans of a new hot domestic race war are wearing Hawaiian shirts instead of brown or black this time around.

Gun owners for Biden needs to organize a million man march to send the cracker cowards scurrying back to caves and holes they crawled out of.

Conclusion of MJ Lee, CNN - (Tapper's guest - and an interviewer of Ms Reade)

"If something were to turn up in the National Archives, it would be concerning sexual HARASSMENT, not sexual assault"


Well, alrighty then.
