It will soon have been three weeks since the Las Vegas shooting massacre, but already the news cycle has moved on.

And how many were killed in Chicago, but that never makes headlines. Which is a big reason no one takes a nimrod like you seriously.

Abortion. Yes it will.

An armed uprising against the elite mother ####ers if they kick out Trump?

DEFINITELY.

“Donald Trump’s (un)fitness for the presidency”

You just know the article is going to be impartial and objective when it starts out that way!

Things would have to get much, much worse in the US before there was an uprising.

Only 10 per cent? Probably much higher. Hopefully, 10 per cent will have the courage to actually rise up to fight a tyrannical government.

People are sick of the Libs getting away with so much for so long.

People would not tolerate the injustice of them trying to remove DJT from office.

Pray for the safety of President Trump. We can put nothing past the evil bastards.

I had this very conversation with members of my family who are in the military. I told them if that happens I become what would then be considered a terrorist. That is who they will be fighting.

If Trump is impeached after all this bogus crap it will start a civil war. I'll be on the Trump side.

If the process is followed to the letter of the law the military will support the government but there will be lots of patriots in the ranks it will be a fraging nightmare all the way around.
