We won't know a thing what's going on. WE cannot wait until TFG gets his people in place. I don't know what to do. Our Generals gott see what i'm seeing. Holy fuck!!

Mike Flynn's brother was on duty that day and took calls for help and turned them all down.
The Army lied and said he was not involved but then had to walk back that lie when confronted
with confirmation.

Then the Army promotes him to a higher rank of general and gives him a plum job as
head of the army in the Pacific in Honolulu. So that tells you how the Army feels?

Yes. I think there are pro Trump generals in the US military.

First seduce and flip an entire US political party, greedy and corrupt US politicians.
Then get them to turn the country over to Russia.

This is the same plan Xi has for Taiwan.
When he invades Taiwan, it won't be an invasion but a civil war.

completely different.
The cracks are already starting to show after only a few days.
John Thune was just elected to replace McConnell as senate leader. This will be the first thorn in Trumps side, and there will be many more to follow. It appears GOP Republicans aren't any more fond of Trump now than they were last time.

All he had to do was come in and appoint people who had some type of institutional cred, but would do most (but not all) of what Maga wanted anyway.

Instead he's appointing the likes of Gaetz, Gabbard etc - who are out and out freaks that are likely to meet opposition from the GOP itself.

firing any Generals or top brass who isn’t loyal to him and promised to be a dictator

Instead of laws. For fuck sake, you can’t work at Arby’s without a criminal background check. Who knew being President was a felon-friendly job?
Our biggest current mistake is the Democrats following the norms while the republicans are getting ready to steamroll the laws.
I know there isn’t anything Biden can do but goddammit quit acting like you arent handing a bus load of kids to a drunk driver on a suicide mission. He should be talking to those of us in the country who know what the fuck is happening and at least giving us some advice on what we need to do to protect ourselves and our families.

and I say that with the utmost sadness. You and I have no power. We were always told the ballot box was our power. Well, that's to be taken away. And, I stand convinced, it was taken away from us with this election, itself. Unless those in power push something we're sunk. And frankly, I think most of them are too afraid of what trump would do to them if they opened their mouths or tried to initiate any action.

Anyone remember the one congresscritter some years back who refused to recognize the inauguration of the candidate? I want to think it was Bush they were protesting, specifically because it was SCOTUS who put him in and not the people. It was a female. ONE lone female. Anyone else remember what I'm thinking of? Anyone thinking we'd have anyone willing to stand up for our country and do it this year? I wish I did.
