(12,165 posts)Will there be some lunatic armchair militia that gets its collective underpants in a twist should Trump get removed from office? Probably.
Whats telling is that Trump knows this moment in time is different. He is anticipating failure.
The case isnt just airtight against him, its damn interesting, too. A secret server for storing presidential call transcripts? Really? Leaked talking points? That pulled the rug out from under the Republicans and set them behind in a response. And since theres no honor among thieves, there will be Trump associates who will sacrifice him to save their own skins.
This started breaking hard just four days or so ago. Four days.
The majority of the country is coming together as we recognize the threat to our democracy. Trump is still playing games on Twitter.
Civil war, indeed. Pfft.

(13,524 posts)whoever actually posted this knocked out in a matter of moments (the real dumbfuck has been known to need, oh, 15 minutes between posts)
In one of the posts, the tweeter uses both the words negate, which I can guarantee, the real df would never employ, and unpardonable, which this idiot couldnt spell correctly under any circumstance.
And lastly, there are too many words NOT randomly capitalized for this to be a genuine DF45 shitgag tweet.
Thus ends my yakkin and no, it doesnt matter who wrote it, because ultimately, the intent is heinous and vile, just as he/they intended fuckers all

Slavery has been described as America's Original Sin. The thousands of deaths associated with our Civil War can be seen as a form of karmic retribution for that sin. However, there is more atoning and self-reckoning to be done by many of our citizens before the true work of healing can be completed.
BTW, Pastor Jeffress, Jesus has been more often regarded as a healer than a provocateur of violence, you dumbass.

I'm feeling especially cranky this evening. A New Yorker stuck in the south, where many still call the civil war the war of northern aggression!

MyMission
(1,850 posts)I first heard it up north, as an assistant teacher in a Montessori school, for God's sake. The teacher was from Virginia, had attended William and Mary. While teaching about the.civil war, she said "where I come from they call it the war of northern aggression." That was in the late 1980's. My jaw dropped!
And within 4 months of moving to NC, in 2002, I saw a man from SC wearing a t-shirt that said "South Carolina, standing alone against Northern aggression since 1861" Jaw dropped again.
I also just found a New York Times article from March 16, 2011, titled "Not Forgotten" where it is mentioned.
It's not that common, but apparently it is used by proud Southerners who have not forgotten. smh2

(118,295 posts)or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort
And yet -- is that not an exact description of what this shallow fellow threatens to call forth against our society, our country and fellow countryfolk, our established form of government, for which so many have already during long generations labored and bled and died?
But who would make such an uncivil beast our lord and master, and who would have us bow down as obedient serfs before a corrupt clan?
By what right could such criminally unsound minds plan to sow dragons' teeth upon our land?
No one, regardless of position or political stance, could benefit from a civil war here -- though perhaps some twisted minds poisoned by hatred might find a sadistic pleasure in the thought of a convulsive Götterdämmerung scarring our cities and descendants and landscapes for generations
No -- let us plan to brush them all aside as quickly and lightly as possible, like the fragile halfwits that they are, and recommit ourselves to our old and inspiring journey towards a government of the people, by the people, for the people

They all involve a descent into Darkness.
Except for the American people, the Sun will shine once again, and leaders from overseas will ring and ask 'Is everything OK? Are we still friends?'
There will be no civil war. The 'courageous' Trump supporters will deny their past, and go around muttering quietly to themselves words of failure and despair. 'Not fair, not fair . . . '
