  1. It’s not only the convicted felon who is at fault for America being thrown into the swamp of despotism, it is also his many enablers in Congress and the Supreme Court. History will never forget the guilty ones, and hopefully justice will eventually prosecute them for treason and throw them into prison.

  2. A very grim report by Jonathan.
    In just a few months, one of the world’s great countries has been transformed into a crypto-putlerist nightmare that wants to invade friendly countries.
    Ideology straight from putler.
    You only have to look at the putrid trolls that work for this rotten regime for proof.

    • Just think, it was our highest court that started the ball rolling last year, and made all of this possible.

  3. What is Trump trying to deflect attention away from? Is the economy down the pan, unemployment rising, the dollar growing weaker every day, or is there some other reason for Trump escalating this by threatening to send in US marines?

    • While all that is true, maybe he just wants to accustom the American people to the sight of federal troops performing law enforcement activity so that, when he ultimately pulls the trigger on the Insurrection Act, there is less public resistance to the idea.

      There are now army tanks in Washington DC. Is it really just for a parade, or is there a deeper plan?

      • If there is a deeper plan, and I think I know what you mean, then every Army officer and soldier will be committing treason.

        • “every Army officer and soldier”

          …who goes along with it. Hopefully, most will remember that they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, and not to support a wanna-be dictator.

          • Sure, that’s what I meant, of course … only those who fall in with any treasonous acts.

    • The economy, dollar, the unemployed, or anything else is not important to the convicted felon. What he wants is power.
