You got this backwards.

Obama's failure to act decisively then enabled us to get where we are now. That line of thinking is so old it's how we ended up with Confederate generals in the US Congress after Reconstruction, who then became statues, which brings us right up to the present again.

It is time to stop this bullshit and build a new paradigm. Neurenburg trials for them all.

I remember Prince from his original Blackwater tour.

I'm thinking more along the lines of changing locks, freezing assets, and withdrawing secret service protection, but I'm well-aware of the gravity of the situation. This ain't my first rodeo.

Ping, ping, ping! We have a winner!

Voter suppression, for sure. I think Portland is a test ground. They're planning massive voter intimidation on Election Day, and this is how they recruit their "troops." I think they'll be all along the Mexican border, as well as major cities in blue areas that are surrounded by seas of red (NOLA, Denver, St. Paul, DC, Atlanta, etc.). There's gonna be a lot of people waiting hours at polling places while twitchy, obnoxious, heavily-armed white men and their loud-mouthed, fouled-mouthed womenfolk menacingly pace around them.

It's easy to forget, at times, that there are many sane people in government

who work very hard to maintain some semblance of normality in governance. And not only the Lincoln Project Republicans, but Democrats at all levels who haven't been fired or left in disgust and frustration. And I'm pretty sure Biden/his campaign is working with the Never Trump Republicans to counter any attempt at a coup. He would be stupid not to. I know for certain Joe Biden is not a stupid man. It makes me feel a bit more confident that this democratic experiment might be saved.

About the same time the federal stockpile of PPE

was being confiscated for, as Jared put it, "us, the federal government."

BTW, check out those high-quality face masks on the troops. You know they're marching against masks while off duty. But it makes for a stylish, updated KKK look.
