The Automatic Earth: The US is at a serious risk of becoming ungovernable.

Note: Words in bold type are my edits.

There are a number of websites where I get my news. The Automatic Earth (TAE) (https://www.theautomaticearth.com/the-automatic-earth/) is one of them.

To those who are not familiar with TAE: According to Media Bias/Fact Check (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-automatic-earth/), The Automatic Earth has a left/center bias. Furthermore, "The Automatic Earth is [a] financial news website. TAE is different than most financial websites in that they oppose the hording of wealth and criticize bankers. All information on the website is sourced to credible information. When curating news from other sources most fall on the left-center of the political spectrum. Overall, we rate this site left-center for bias and factual in reporting. (D. Van Zandt 6/3/2017)".

With that being said, I found this in the TAE post of June 20, 2020:

"But what really bumped me off my rhythm is reading the stories, and reactions to them, about AG Barr asking US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geffrey Berman to resign, and the latter refusing to comply. Reading through all the related articles had one notion, one fear, creep up on me: that the US is at a serious risk of becoming ungovernable. And I mean: serious.

"Whoever wins on November 4, Trump or Biden(?!), may well be unacceptable and unaccepted by half the country. And what happens then? Are we going to have a civil war? I’ll get back to that soon. It’s not like this is the first time it ever occurred to me, but it has gained a lot of weight -and risk- lately."

1. Half the country is an exaggeration by 20-25 points...

If there are 2-3 trumpers and trumpets out of every 10 people I could agree, but 5 out of 10, no way...

And if those 2-3 have to be dragged kicking and screaming all the way thru a Biden presidency, so be it...with a black female VP and a black female attorney general for good measure...

2. "On April 25, 2018, the judges of the Southern District of New York, unanimously

appointed Berman U.S. Attorney for an indeterminate term that expires 'until the vacancy is filled' which may or may not include the appointment of a Presidential nominee being approved by the Senate" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Berman

Berman was lawfully appointed, and Barr is trying illegally to remove him

4. Yes it did.

The Eastern half became the Byzantine Empire and lasted for another 1000 years.

The Western half was gone in 70 years.

The perfect option for the northern border states is to join the Canadian confederation.
