President Trump's former campaign adviser Roger Stone told TMZ that any politician who votes to impeach Trump "would be endangering their own life."
"Try to impeach him. Just try it," Stone said. "You will have a spasm of violence, an insurrection in this country like you have never seen before. Both sides are heavily armed, my friend."

(82,849 posts)If they could hold power through constitutional means, they'd do it. If they're in danger of losing power through constitutional means, it's time for threats. Is this the same Roger Stone who frequents swinger clubs in Florida, and has a Nixon tattoo on his back? If I were on the Trump side of the spectrum, I can't say I'd trust Stone's word about violence and insurrection; he seems like a "let's you and him fight" kind of guy. All talk until the melee is joined, then you can't find him for some reason unless you dive under the bed or slip out the back door.

He wants his fans to kill a journalist or several. That's why I'm so glad that Katy Tur is in studio and off his campaign circuit. He tried daily during the campaign to cause her physical risk.

While the cause of death is initially being considered natural, since Shirinskiy suffered from high blood pressure, s even Russian ambassadors have died in mysterious ways over the last two years.
Two of them died from heart attacks, and Shirinsky would be the third.

(2,120 posts)If Trump is impeached and his supporters hit the streets they will be mowed down by the police and National Guard. No matter how many guns they own, they can only wield one at a time... and there are more law enforcement and military than there are of these disgusting excuses for human beings.
