On its face, a tweet President Trump sent last week is fairly benign. It doesn’t mock anyone, isn’t personally nasty and hasn’t caused any hair-on-fire controversy.
Yet it is powerful in its own way, for it artfully sums up the Trump era from the perspective of the president and his supporters. With a likeness to the Uncle Sam “I want you” poster, the disrupter-in-chief reaffirms in 14 words the belief of Trump Nation that the political establishment, the media, the permanent bureaucracy and yes, the deep state are trying to crush him and them.
Critics regard it as fear-mongering, and there is no denying that the president wanted to rally his base, lest it be discouraged by the day’s events.
Yet Trump’s oblique reference to a weaponized and powerful adversary is hardly unfounded, with a partisan, flimsy impeachment the latest example. The tweet’s siren call to believers is a shorthand way of saying that impeachment is just a continuation of the endless attacks against us.
Indeed, his presidency effectively begins with a prophecy of those attacks, one that came 17 days before Trump took the oath.
“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Sen. Chuck Schumer said on MSNBC.
It was an incredible thing to say in a nation where the people are supposedly sovereign, but soon it would become clear that Schumer knew what he was talking about, which still raises questions.

You many be making inferences to the implicit right of a state to secede from a Federal govt that violated its original intentions?
Is it a coincidence that Federal power grew exponentially once Lincoln “settled that question” [with 500k-1 million deaths]?
I see the image at the top of the article. Don’t you?
I just read up on the gun-grabbing in Virginia. It is chilling. Nazi Germany springs to mind immediately.
Yes, I see it. Not everyone can see, however.
I was not thinking anything of the sort, and I certainly wasn't implying anything about succession.
I was thinking about people like Ilhan Oamar and Rashida Tlaib, who come to our country hating it, and run for Congress while hating our government, and accept their appointment to Congress while hating our country and its population, and proceed to do as much damage as possible with the power they've been given by the voters, a level of power they would never have had any hope of attaining in their own countries.
They of course are just two examples out of countless millions of examples. People who accept our freedom with the goal of ending it and who live under our system of laws but hope to destroy it.
Well said.
So true.
The atheistic Communists started infiltrating all our major institutions and organizations as far back as 1930.
In just two generations, they have almost succeeded.
They are in our churches, in the shadow government,
in formerly trustworthy orgs like Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. They foster the LGBTQ assault on private clubs and businesses, etc. They must be stopped.
Safety in numbers.
They can make one “gun nut” disappear quietly, or silence him through Lawfare.
But if you assemble 50 or 100 or more armed patriots in the town square, there isn’t much they can do short of machine-gunning the entire mob, which makes for some really bad visuals. If we have to pitch tents so they can’t grab us individually, so be it.
Start thinking of strategy and tactics, FRiends. Hard times are near at hand.
“...Communists started infiltrating all our major institutions...”
K - 12 education is a root source for the spread of the communist propaganda that is poisoning our children’s minds. The children have been indoctrinated for several generations now and there are no plans to stop this.
The “successful” fruit of their efforts can be seen in the millennials who support Bernie and communism.
Anybody that has half a brain and has been around during the past 75 years should not be surprised that the endgame has finally started...
IMHO, there are more communists (as a percentage of the adult population) in the U.S. than in any other nation on the planet...
Every one of the many, many warnings over the past 75 years have become the reality we now face...
it was around for years, i recall it fromaround time of election or not too long after he won.
The Boston Massacre comes to mind.
But that will look loke a Sunday School picnic when those bitter times come again.
BTTT.
If someone wants to put that meme up on billboards around the country, let me know.
I’ll pay for one in my Upstate NY neck of the woods.
BTTT.
BTTT.
BTTT.
And how about the return of the Trump flotillas?
When will We the People notice that
the tweet goes back to:
Esther 3
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Bttt.
5.56mm
Love the idea of more flotillas, but since I’m a land lubber (I get seasick sitting at the dock 😔) I’ll have to stick to road rallies!
Bump!
BTTT.
