Commenting on the double standard the political left and the liberal media play -- conservatives are pilloried and leftists are coddled -- former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova explained that America is in a "civil war" now and that things will get much worse before they get better -- "total war."
DiGenova, who also served as special counsel to investigate the Teamsters and as counsel to the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, made his remarks on the Feb. 21 edition of The Laura Ingraham Podcast.
During the discussion, Igraham noted how the left and the liberal media work hand-in-hand to spin and cover for wrongdoing on the left and yet endlessly attack the right. For instance, the leftist press constantly refer to President Trump as Hitler, Stalin, a dictator, a Nazi, Mussolini, racist, white supremacist, treasonous, disturbed, demented, bigoted, etc.
Also, the left has essentially forgotten the shooting of Republican congressmen by a Bernie Sanders supporter in 2017 and they largely ignore the death threats and assassination attempts against President Trump. They downplayed the anti-Semitism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mich.) and immediately rushed to defend Jussie Smollett who, as we now know, has been accused of perpetrating a hate crime hoax.

“There’s two standards of justice, one for Democrats one for Republicans," he said. "The press is all Democrat, all liberal, all progressive, all left. They hate Republicans, they hate Trump."
"So the suggestion that there’s ever going to be civil discourse in this country for the foreseeable future is over," said the former federal prosecutor. "It’s not going to be."
"It’s going to be total war," he said. "And as I say to my friends, I do two things – I vote and I buy guns.”
Love your post!
Just chatted with a neighbor today from my car for almost an hour. Our small community is on the same page.
It is difficult for me to comprehend and believe that human beings are doing this.
My state is quite literally loaded with militia groups who all keep contact with each other. That’s our leadership.
Oath keepers, militia groups.
UN troops are not usually armed. I would suggest Rwanda as a good study for the start of a civil war.
“There are only 3 possibilities:
1. The Left wins....
2. The Right wins ….
3. We....divide the … US into 2 separate nations.”
I fear you left out a 4th possibility, and one which seems most likely, given the examples from history.
4. During the civil disorder accompanying the breakdown of the constitutional, representative republic, a Man-On-A-White-Horse, a Napoleon emerges, neither Left or Right, who establishes, maybe not even intentionally, a dictatorship or even a Monarchy. This almost happened at the end of the American War of Independence, and might have if Washington had not refused to play along. Like Octavius Caesar, he might keep the forms of the old republic in place; there would still be a Congress, a Supreme Court, perhaps even an elected President, individual States, but the power would have passed to the Man who won, who brought peace and order, what ever his title is.
That is what we have to fear the most, if the unspoken social compact which upholds the Constitution breaks down and open warfare between the factions begins.
Depends on the caliber.
have I left anything out?
= = = = = = = = = = = =
The only possible thing you could have left out is, you were All-State your senior year at “I Can Top That” club.
My bolt action is a Savage 30-06. I use Fusion 165-grain skived-tip boat tails. Muzzle Velocity = 2790 FPS @ 2850 FT LBS energy. At 100 yards, the bullet is traveling at 2590 FPS, with 2460 FT LBS energy. At 300 yards, it’s 2400 FPS and 2110 FT LBS. I have the weapon zeroed in at 100 yards; and, with my scope set at 1 1/2” above the bore line, the trajectory is -13” at 300 yards.
Agree .......
diGenova's right - it's starting.
Agreed
"...I am going out for a few hours to snipe some leftards..."
Imagine if I jumped on an assaulted say Joe Biden. Do you think I would get 30 days in jail like Rand’s assailant? I think it would be more like 300 days - if I am lucky.
If you look at AOC’s latest rant about global warming, its bad. We have lost a generation to Marxism via the public school system.
Marxist millennials, otherwise known as imbeciles.
Every public school system should have to give its pension dollars to the parents who got screwed.
I think it launches with a president who decides to confiscate guns, as an emergency.
The first houses will surrender, but then they will hit a “concord” moment. After a riot occurs, after another Sharpton scam BS story. Then Snipers are picking off the gun collection teams as people know they are just fish in the Antifa BLM Marxist federal barrel.
Think Ruby ridge on a grand scale. But a war of hit and run sniper shots. Patriots wont be standing in uniform, like yellow jackets.
"...door-to-door gun confiscation and collection..."
