We have treason by the Democrat Party.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And more than half of the GOP or we would be rectifying it.

Actually we don’t have a civil war. We have treason by the Democrat Party.

We don't have a Civil War ... yet.

The Democrats are doing their level best to start one, and the filthy bastards should be careful what they wish for.

Precisely. This is not a civil war. It is a war against te insurgency of anti Constitutionalists, that is, by Communists and corrupt plutocrats who have gained immeasurable wealth under color of office.
To wit: We are under attack by our elected and selected officialdom who seek to satiate their greed by consuming US.

"But Goeas, not a fan of the president’s, said he believes that Trump didn’t start the rudeness in today’s politics. “He is a symptom of where we are, not ‘the’ disease,” he said, adding, “One of the things that I have focused on as we have gone into this death spiral of incivility in the country, that we had to be at a certain point for Trump to become acceptable.”

Key ppoint. Occasionally the mask slips and you'll see. Remember Carville and the trailer park comment? How about "smelly Walmart people"? "Flyover country"?

Partisan political division and the resulting incivility has reached a low in America, with 67% believing that the nation is nearing civil war, according to a new national survey.

OK, so two-thirds of the respondents believe that we're "nearing" civil war...

“The majority of Americans believe that we are two-thirds of the way to being on the edge of civil war. That to me is a very pessimistic place,” said Mo Elleithee

It's also not what they said. Nobody asked how close we are. If I said that I thought we're 37.5% of the way toward civil war somebody surely would wonder how I came up with that number. Mo, apparently not.

When you can go to prison for four years for defending yourself against Antifa, changes are needed. Not sure how “civil” it will be when we start playing by their rules.

When you consider this violent society and how many millions of innocent victims are stacked upon each other over the years, you start to get the feeling that this is exactly what is coming.

No flame intended, but can anyone explain what a civil war would look like today? So who would I meet up with? Where do I report to since I don't even speak to my neighbors? Who do I trust? Who is going to carry my gun and ammunition to the front line? Will there be Lipitor provided to us senior citizens or should I bring my own? Should I leave my wife and dog home? Who is going to feed me, given my dietary restrictions? What will the enemy look like?

So many questions, so much BS....

Have you seen the weekly murder totals in Chicago? We aren’t on the verge, it’s going on already. We’re just in denial over the existing insurrection in most of our cities, from people killing others openly in their neighborhoods to occupations of our parks and roadways by the homeless to the possibly tens of millions of illegals in the country.

Vast amounts of people never answer to the civil authority.

I have very conservative, level headed Christian friends who I would never even suspect are conspiracy theorsits who say they see the same thing coming.

They told me this a couple years ago at least.

I had to agree with them and I still do.

Just another reason why we’re leaving NY and heading for parts more defensible and safe. And not anywhere within a several hour drive of even a moderate sized city.

One of my friends from church urged me to go through defensive handgun training and get licensed for a handgun. A number of other folks he knows are doing the same thing. He took me shooting with him one day to show me the handguns he has and how to use them.

These are level-headed folks, not preppers or militia types. The fear here is more the civil disorder that is already happening in our area from the homeless and wandering crazies. The police have stopped enforcing the law in a number of ways.

“Mayor de Blasio, you need to do more to protect the men and women who protect and serve this city,” Barzilay said. “The city is spiraling down to a chaos where there’s no respect for nobody — buckets of water thrown at police officers, assaults on EMTs and paramedics are on a daily basis, assaults on MTA workers is on a daily basis … our city has run down to a point of no return.”
