It’ll happen here. Our government will call it something differnt. Health crisis maybe.
Our instututions are all in.
CRAVEN seems to be the first requirement to be a Dem politician.
Who in power cares anything about a minor thing like the constitution anymore?
When even conservatives don’t care about the Constitution, you know it’s a dead letter.
I care. But I’m a dinosaur these days. Waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ or the grim reaper, whomever comes first.

I understand that requirement for the POTUS, but is it a requirement for serving in the senate too?
No, and I had no problem with him as Senator.
When he ran for President he exposed himself as a fraud.
All riots are equal, but some are MORE EQUAL than others!
Like the Reichsherr, our domestic rat fascists are moving very quickly to silence opposition and consolidate power.
The lights are going out.
Great comment. Perhaps you have read this phenomenal “you are there” book, I recommend it highly. “In the Garden of the Beasts-Love, Terror and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin. Erik Larson.
From the diaries of the family and extensive author research. The ambassador, a history professor, arrived with his family in mid-summer 1933, 5 months after the Reichstag fire in February which was exactly 4 weeks after Hitler took power. There from 1933 to 1937, they experienced (through their embassy interactions) the Night of the Long Knives (the murders of the SA, et al).

That was exactly their objective, and the chicken shite repub senators especially— folded like a cheap suit. No bravery, not even patriotism or Constitutional Oath they took. Disgusting. The objective was a threat, and FEAR. Not all responded this way, nor in the House. Particularly Steve Scalise, and certainly Ted Cruz was not hindered- but they busted up his hard won coalition of 30 Senators.
The POINT of the objection was the unConstitutionality of the State’s illegal voting process and certain fraud.
They let that Genie out of the bottle with Obama. Cruz would be better than anything the Democrats would put up.

(CNN)Justice Department prosecutors have formally walked back their assertion in a court filing that said Capitol rioters sought to "capture and assassinate elected officials."
A federal prosecutor in Arizona asked a magistrate judge in a hearing on Friday to strike the line in a recent court filing about defendant Jacob Anthony Chansley, a man who is alleged to have led some in the crowd in the first wave into the Capitol with a bullhorn while carrying a spear and wearing a fur headdress.
The entire line the prosecutors want to omit from their court filing is: "Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government."
The stunning move comes a few hours after Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, said at a press conference there was "no direct evidence of kill and capture teams" at this time in the siege of the Capitol building.

I certainly hope that her behavior and those like her will open the eyes of many liberals before it’s too late. Silencing the opposition is what dictators do.
