Mpls has been my home for 30+ years. My home: my house, my wife, my life. There is nothing, nothing that has prompted this hell but hate. They want to hurt
We have looked to escape but there is only return, to home. We don't go down alone. Gobless Amerika. Slava Ukraine
Americans need to look at what the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto did to the Nazis during WWII. They made then pay a heavy price before they were finally beaten. We are the most heavily armed country in the world. That shouldn't happen to us. Make the ICE Gestapo afraid to set foot on the streets.
When the arrests occur for, and the charges are brought against, the Trump regime, I am betting many criminal defense attorneys will decline to represent. Everyone has their limits. 🤲
Rather than attempting to descalate the situation in Minneapolis, DHS is sending in thousands more heavily armed "agents" under the pretense of cracking down on welfare fraud. It is obvious that the stage is set for provocation of violent response to any serious protest of federal invasion of "enemy" Blue states and cities. The lines are drawn and there will be no compromise. Yes, a new Civil War is a very real outcome. Unfortunately, this time we have the polar opposite of "Honest Abe" as president.
My question is, what happens when the shooting starts? MAGA now has its own heavily armed Gestapo, but it is inexperienced and undiscliplined. They might terrorize and kill civilians, but there is too much at stake for chaos to remain unchecked and allow a nuclear-armed Banana Republic to fall into anarchy. The Military has an oath to protect the Constituion and the Nation from enemies both foreign and domestic. Those of us who have been in the miliary know they have their own proud subculture with traditions passed down through the millennia.
Historically, when a government collapes and anarchy occurs, the military stages a coup and declares martial law to restore order. The disrespect and abuse Trump has directed against military leaders and their honored culture has probably not endeared him to the Joint Chiefs who know he is a threat to the nation and the Constitution. I can assure you that there are plans on the shelf for just this "doomsday" scenario and I am sure they have been dusted off and updated recently. It is ironic that what Trump did in Venezuela is likely a blueprint for what will occur here. Perhaps Maduro and Trump can become cellmates.
Having served in the military too and been exposed to unsafe senior military leaders, I don’t share your same faith in the military and its (likely) response to all of this.
Senior military leaders clearly led the unconstitutional attacks on Venezuela fishermen and then on the mainland of Venezuela, the unconstitutional strikes in Iran, and active duty troops in U.S. cities.
Let us all be clear that the only ones capable and willing to protect and defend the American people are the American people - not any institution or any agents of institutions.
The biggest obstacle continues to be the myths that have never actually helped anyone but those whose masks are all of the way off as they try to tear our democracy asunder. The biggest obstacle continues to be Americans believing in what they want to see, instead of being crystal clear about what IS.
Thanks for your thoughts! I keep hoping our armed forces have a plan . They must be out of their minds trying to internalize this possibility! I wonder what ice would do if a US tank started toward them?
Mike says: ". . .the regime in Washington knows perfectly well that if they are impeached, removed from power, and proper oversight is exercised over the machinations of the federal government, they will be subject to criminal prosecution. For this reason, they will resort to brutal means to hang on to power." An insightful observation explaining why dictators resort to increasingly violent means to remain in power.
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion (every action produces an equal but opposite reaction) also applies to politics, meaning that the opposition tends to respond with violence to match, producing civil wars or revolutions, which, if successful, can result in similarly repressive and brutal governments (as we saw in France (1789) and Russia (1917)).
Had George III resorted to more brutal means of tyranny than those listed as "Facts submitted to a candid world" in the Declaration of Independence, our reflective Founding Fathers might have more closely resembled Robespierre and Stalin rather than Aristotle.
This line of reasoning makes it imperative for the opposition to peacefully capitalize on the advantage in numbers now and next November to short-circuit the otherwise irreversible escalation of violence on both Left and Right.
I said the very thing about the civil war to my husband this afternoon. I am a Minnesotan and felt strongly that Minnesota had a huge part to play in the Universe’s current plans when the George Floyd travesty happened. And now this tragedy with Renee Nichole Good, may she rest in the sunshine that her family and friends say she was. My hope and prayer is that love will indeed take us home and this will be the beginning of the end of this abhorrent and treasonous regime
We are indeed at just such a moment as you describe. It remains to be seen whether we will get through it without one or more seriously high-casualty events. I pray we do not.
From what I have seen and read, it appears clear that the 25th amendment is applicable. That none have attempted to apply it, suggests those that could aren't ready for that just yet. (Am I correct in thinking it can only be called by someone on his team?) If so, it may be strategically beneficial to get ahead of them and create chaos amongst their ranks.
We have the numbers, and we have justice and history on our side. We need to summon the same courage and resolve as the protesters putting themselves in far greater danger in Iran. We need to fight tyrants everywhere in global solidarity.
My candle is glowing bright but those around me are trying to blow it out! They are like those little monkeys who see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil! When will there be the "shot heard around the world!!!????

I have called & left messages with my Congressional Rep & both my Senators.
We are dealing with a malignant narcissist with escalating dementia. He MUST go.
None of us are safe. He will start WW3.
He will invade Greenland & destroy NATO—to Putin’s benefit. Now we have a Gestapo.

I don’t know what I think of this. Especially on the Founding Fathers point. But it’s got me thinking.

Thank you and Bless you🌞♥️🇨🇦
Amazing- your thoughts and expression of them. Thank you.

I so appreciate this article. Thank you❤️
Just the plain truth. No rationalisation.
We have the numbers, and we have justice and history on our side. We need to summon the same courage and resolve as the protesters putting themselves in far greater danger in Iran. We need to fight tyrants everywhere in global solidarity.

To remove a President by impeachment requires 66 Senate Votes. Impossible to gain enough seats in the midterms.
