Who is scared of Trumps New Army

I am referring to his Nazi Party of tracking people down for anyone saying anything negative against his Boy Kirk.

Threat is a threat.

Laws are Laws.

We have Freedoms ....

Bill of Rights.

Freedom of Speech.

If the government takes our rights away, we do not have a Government and what laws empowers those who abuse the peoples rights, forfeit their office.

The US doesn't have those things any more.
Freedom. Bill of Rights, etc.
They are GONE.

Of course the US has enjoyed a number of miracles to save its ass.

George Washington lead a rag tag group of colony farmers against one of the greatest
military forces in existence at the time. And won.

Lincoln won the Civil War.
And FDR and Churchill with the help of Eisenhower and the US military won WWII.

As you know, I am not optimistic about current events today.
But I do have to point out the US has been in the crapper before and pulled out.

But this time seems rather hopeless doesn't it?

all indications are the surge is coming in.

People say you can't time the market. I think there is one time you can time it . . when Mango Mussolini names his replacement for Fed Chair, and a date is set for Powell's stepping down.

They forfeit their legitimacy as democratic rulers, but they still govern.
