68. He wants to be Dictator of the US

Sun Jan 15, 2012, 02:49 PM

Jan 2012

Tiffany has some serious mental issues. He has deluded himself into thinking he is some kind of potential potentate, a king or dictator. He thinks he can win the presidency and just waltz in and eliminate anyone who is connected to the government that fails to toe his narrow line. End the judgeships that don't agree with his disgusting governmental philosophies. Ignore established SCOTUS precedents. Trouble is, he would probably do these things he is always talking about, and the second he got into office. Sure, before he is done destroying what is left of the rule of law, there would be mass riots in every US town from Weaubleau, Missouri to New York City itself. But there are those militarized police forces in most every community. There are gobs of military resources he could call on. Millions would die, but those who were left would behave, I think, at least those who weren't working underground to topple such a dystopian "presidency."
