You won't like the result...there are plenty of us in those swing states that aren't afraid of jackboots and know exactly what to do with them.

It’s a picture of Yoda saying “Nazi you are, fuck off you must”. I guess I’d have to upload it somewhere on the net to get it to work and don’t really know how to do that.

.

1) Mouse over Create

2) Select Make a Meme

3) Select Upload New Template. It can be from a PC or a URL link.

4) Add stuff if you like. There is a default of 2 text boxes. You can add more. Text options in grey area to right. Above the image are other graphical things you can add, like images and word / thought clouds, etc.

5) Click on Generate Meme

6) Click on Go To Image Page at bottom

7) Mouse over image, if there's an enlargement icon where the mouse is, click on it to enlarge.

8) Right mouse click image

9) Select View Image Info (Firefox's name for it)

10) Text select the name of the actual file and copy it. The file name should look something like (Note: I added a space added after // to prevent the image from displaying instead of the text): https:// i.imgflip.com/4qubzr.jpg

11) Paste that link in any website comment section. At DU, click Preview to make sure it works the way you want.


Now, I went to CNET.com and downloaded MetaData Stripper to remove the metadata of any image I upload.

but I predict if they do, it will fail, biggly.

I've been watching some of their websites periodically (I have to tune out at times for my own sanity). More and more they are talking about invoking the Insurrection Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurrection_Act_of_1807 to keep Trump in power. Frankly, I think there is real possibility they will try.

If they do, it will be the end of the republican party and Trumpism.

Trump calls General Milley, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"General Milley, I am declaring martial law to order a new election that I will win. Order the troops to the states that I lost and arrest all the Democrats you can."

"Mr. President, that's insane. There are laws against doing that. Besides, I have no operational control over the troops. Contact General VanHerck at Northern Command."

//dial...dial...dial...//

"Is this General VanHerck? Commander of Northern Command?"

"It is."

"This is President Trump. I am ordering martial law to cause a new election that I will win to happen. Deploy soldiers to every state I lost to arrest registered Democrats."

"Wait there. I'll be right over."

//wait three hours for General VanHerck to fly himself to DC in a fighter jet at supersonic speed...//

//General VanHerck walks into the White House with a platoon of soldiers from the Old Guard...//

"Mr. President, you're under arrest for treason, un-Americanism, and actions detrimental to a free society. We already arrested the vice president and the rest of the Cabinet, and now it's your turn. A firing squad will be convened in the morning. We have already alerted President-Elect Biden he needs to get his ass down here by 8 tomorrow morning to be sworn in."

"But...you can't do this!"

"Yeah, yeah motherfucker, and you can't declare martial fucking law and arrest Democrats because you don't like that you lost an election. But don't worry, we'll let you watch Joe Biden be sworn in before we shoot you."

At least that's a major motivation. Still sucking up to Trump and his whacko cultists has to be another.

Flynn is still vulnerable to new state and/or federal charges, and he can no longer plead the Fifth if called to testify in an investigation into what his pardon relates to. If any of this comes about, they'll claim vindictive Democrats are framing him.
