FYI...

I recently spent the night at one of my best (when we were young) friend’s (near BIG MAC bridge) house. His wife brought out the wine with dinner. The conversation eventually turned to politics. WHOA BOY! She was so vehemently anti-Trump that she eventually said she wanted to off POTUS. I said, “do you want to shoot me also?”. That gave her pause. I slept with one eye open in the guest bedroom. I did make it out of there alive. I should’ve brought my handgun with me. I didn’t know she was that cray cray. (I was a bit concerned for my own safety...didn’t want to wake up with a knife in my neck.)

Just sayin’

First order of business for them will be gun control and the abolition of the 2nd amendment. They will force pass a repeal resolution with 66 votes, and then force ratify the repeal in less than a couple of months.

THAT is what they are planning.

Then pack the Supreme Court so that it will always be on the democRAT team.

I would think that they would pack the court first, then move the repeal, that way when any challenges are heard they will be dismissed.

IF the LEFTISTS/CRIMINAL PREDATORS/ARSONISTS/RIOTERS get their wish, I suspect that the formerly law-abiding people will deal with those vicious predators under Rule 7.62x51.

War-game the possibilities. There are worst case scenarios and scenarios too horrific to express. This next 50+ days will tell us a lot.

Keep your weapons close and your other weapons closer.

Why? Any Democrats who eliminate the filibuster will warp our electoral system so severely that the Republicans face severe and unprecedented, almost insurmountable difficulties in winning elections. But even if Republicans somehow thereafter regain control of Congress, they will “conserve” almost all of the programs, no matter how liberal and destructive, that then exist. The best that the Republicans ever do, when fully in power on the top of their game, is pause usually only partially the progressive agenda, delaying for a few years the inevitable march to outright Maoism. When last did Congress reduce spending and balance the budget? In 1954 during the Dwight David Eisenhower administration amid the deescalation of the horrid and expensive war in Korea. The deregulatory trends under Trump consist mostly in a shocking, dramatic decrease in new regulations; only a tiny proportion of the existing ultra-voluminous corpus of regulatory law ever gets repealed, even now. Republicans generally propose, pass, and preside over expanding, ever more intrusive government, just less rapidly than that under Democrats.

To take one very prominent example, what happened to the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act? After years of pouting and loud noise about ineffective, halfhearted repeal efforts, it continues almost entirely intact. Sure, Congress cut a few of its most offensive provisions, and the bureaucracy revised some ridiculous and offensive regulations, but the overwhelming majority of provisions and regulations continue in full force and effect, unaltered and unconstrained.
