Expect violence after the midterms...

I've been thinking about this and at first thought was; if we take back the house the right wing will go crazy and try to exact some infantile revenge, but then I thought; if we lose the house the right wing morons will be emboldened ad still go out to exact revenge, because they always feel the victims even when they have everything.

So be prepared and stay safe. It's going to be a weird fucking ride

Just a little more verbose...

Hang on tight,.. if the Dems pull this off and regain the House...
... and maybe the Senate the Nazi Fascists are going to go bonkers. trDump will whip things up internally by stoking rabid domestic nationalism and externally on the international diplomatic front Bolton will start beating the drums and rattling the sabers of war. Thus making the King of Orange a war president in all his frothing glory. Then the Nazis, the Fascists, and the warmongers will come out in force to become full fledged trDump jackbooted brown shirts.

Once Mattis is gone, Erik Prince then privatizes the Afghan and Iraq Wars, and trDump gains a firm grip on the American war machine - the Nazis, the Fascists, and finally the warmongers on his side and under trDump's beck and call and total control - who knows where the mad Generalissimo the Fascist Oligarchic trDump will then lead America.

We had best better have a contingency plan in place before hand - if trDump gathers this band of angry Fascist Hessians to March under the trDump Royal Coat of Arms and we sit back and do nothing - bye bye rapidly and with great haste the America we have come to love, know, and cherish - because American Democracy will be only a quaint, passing, and distant memory that was allowed to slip on by.

We will not be magically out of the woods come election day - that may be the day the Fascists formerly sign their Declaration of War against Liberal Democracy and inflict what they hope to be the final death nell that seeks to permanently crush it once and for all.

Remain vigilant - what they seek is an Authoritarian Fascist Oligarchic - Extreme Right Wing Orthodox Dominionist Reconstructionist Theocracy. They have marshaled their forces and are damn close to achieving that result. This close to achieving their end game - they are not going to sit back as we endeavor to over throw their regime and dismantle their firm grip they have over all branches of our government.

Fasten your seat belt and strap on your crash helmet - it is bound to be a bumpy and stomach churning ride just ahead.

It is bound to be nauseating - have your barf bag handy. This ain't going to be a walk in the park to look at the pretty flowers and feed the swans and the squirrels.

We have to herd up the Fascists and lock them back up in the box - from which trDump opened and allowed them to roam free and escape.

Rampant Fascism and Liberal American Democracy are a toxic and explosive mix.

... all three branches of our government. They will not be happy when we snatch it back from them and likely prosecute them for near treason.

The first inclination of the Fascist Neanderthal Deplorables will be to go immediately violent. Who knows how that will be manifested once trDump riles and hypes them up during his Nazi-fest rallies.

If the shit does not hit the fan the day after we take the election,.. then once the multitude of House Committee Investigations begin the fireworks will surely begin.

5. Erik Prince won't privatize anything.
Thu Oct 25, 2018, 09:59 PM
Oct 2018

Without the much, much larger US military footprint backing up his efforts. If what you claim about his capabilities was true, he would have stayed in Iraq when the US military withdrew in 2011, he did not, he left also and only came back after the US military started again having a large footprint in Iraq and Syria in 2014. Prince is fundamentally impotent, regardless of the size of his private military, they can't match a military 10-15 times their size, with resources that are 20-40 times larger.

6. Oh Really,...Here's the blueprint for Erik Prince's $5 billion plan to privatize the Afghanistan war
Thu Oct 25, 2018, 10:40 PM

Comment,

Mattis is about to phased out at the Pentagon,.. trDump feels it is a time for change. Bolton has trDump's ear and is calling more shots at the Pentagon/NSA. Erik Prince will be back a third time to sell his $5 billion/year idea to privatise the Afghan War and fatten his wallet.

______________

Article - Military Times:

(begin snip)
When Americans put their nation’s credibility on the line, privatizing it is probably not a wise idea,” Mattis said.

Nevertheless, Prince is undeterred. He suspects that interest in his plan at the White House will grow as senior national security staff remaining from McMaster’s days depart and new staff under Bolton increase their sway.

Prince also thinks that, ultimately, cost savings might convince the president to try something new. Prince said his plan would cost $5 billion a year, a fraction of what it currently costs the U.S. to operate in Afghanistan.

Erik Prince's Plan to Privatize the War in Afghanistan

7. Let him try to privatize the Afghan war.

Doubt that he would remotely succeed where three major nations have failed.

Please chase after possibilities instead of shiny objects like Prince doing what powerful militaries have failed to do. His "blueprint" has as much value as the toilet paper that he wipes his ass with.

... Erik Prince would gain access to $ billions per year and trDump would have his covert personal army of at the ready storm troopers and Praetorian Guards.

Maybe during trDump's third, fourth, and fifth presidential terms Erik Prince could become his vice-president and Pence elevated to the Liaison Officer for Religious Affairs and Minister of Rapture.

3. remember what Trump said prior to general election
Thu Oct 25, 2018, 09:48 PM

He said he would accept the results if he liked them.

[link:https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/20/us/politics/presidential-debate.html|


In a remarkable statement that seemed to cast doubt on American democracy, Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he might not accept the results of next month’s election if he felt it was rigged against him — a stand that Hillary Clinton blasted as “horrifying” at their final and caustic debate on Wednesday.

Every losing presidential candidate in modern times has accepted the will of the voters, even in extraordinarily close races, such as when John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard M. Nixon in 1960 and George W. Bush beat Al Gore in Florida to win the presidency in 2000.

Mr. Trump insisted, without offering evidence, that the general election has been rigged against him, and he twice refused to say that he would accept its result.

“I will look at it at the time,” Mr. Trump said. “I will keep you in suspense.”
