RULE OF LAW FCS, while the other side can do everything up to and including to a coup and coalesce behind a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, Putin-loving, Kim Jong loving, Victor Orban loving, Xi loving and gaslighting "the enemy within" (that would be us.)
We have to decide if we are going to actively resist, knowing the Orange One would LOVE to impose martial law, the Insurrection Act, and whatever else for the sole sake of bloodshed, punishment and to be like his DFF's. "Why can't we just shoot them?"
I wish Washington or Lincoln could come back and smack this motherfucker square in the face for what he is advocating, embracing and projecting throughout the world.
Embarrassed for our country, afraid for our allies and know full well that he is in bed up to his ass with Vlad and Friends. That should be the show. Fuck Fox and Friends. Let's do Vlad and Friends and cut through the façade of any faux loyalty to the U.S. and our Constitution.
Orange Boy and entire (prove me wrong) GOP are in to burn us to the ground. And MSM just whistles past the graveyard. Disgusting.
