in about the 14th paragraph, there is this gem of understatement: "Trump wasn't entirely accurate."

is a gorilla] woman, comes reassuringly to mind.

However, I suspect the odds of traitortrump peacefully and lawfully relinquishing the Office of the Presidency are not good. And, there are myriad hate networks out there, capable of creating plausible threats - we need to be alert, wary, and prepared, with our own varied networks.

5. If the office is taken away from Trump, through election or criminal

proceedings, he will relinquish the office.
If he wants to fight, he'll be removed by force, by the proper armed authorities.
It would be up to Trump to decide whether or not he wants to survive that.
Attempts to prevent the lawful removal of Trump would probably
not end well for those obstructing justice.

The SECOND the Secret Service is legally required to remove him from that building, whatever the reason, that's what WILL HAPPEN; and DJT can either cooperate with that action...or not.

But it's GONNA happen lol.

Leaders of the veterans group Rolling Thunder are poised to roar back to Washington to defend President Trump if Democrats move to impeach him.

They say Trump hasn't changed their mind about ending their annual massive Memorial Day biker gathering. But some bikers will be back to demand House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., halt impeachment proceedings if she cranks them up.

“I think he's doing a great job, and I wish Nancy Pelosi and her cronies would get off his back,” executive director Artie Muller said Thursday after returning to New Jersey from the group’s final planned national gathering in Washington.

Muller predicted a large convergence that would feature “not just bikers, but patriotic Americans.”

Ride organizers cite costs and logistics for the reason the ride is ending this year, WUSA reported.


They also said they’re tired of being harassed.


“A lot of people are fed up with D.C. It’s not only me. We’re tired of the harassment,” Rolling Thunder Inc.’s executive director Sgt. Artie Muller told WTOP.

He said the ride is mismanaged every year by Pentagon officials and access was denied to parking lots after organizers paid “exorbitant permit fees,” to be allowed to use the Pentagon property to stage. It cost, according to Muller, $200,000 to hold the ride in 2018, WTOP reported.

Pentagon officials deny there were issues other than expected delays into the facility.

Local versions of Rolling Thunder are still expected to continue.

“We’re tired of the aggravation there. For 2020, our chapters are going to do demonstrations throughout the country, nationwide in their states,” Muller told WTOP.
