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.”
Redux you’re right. First we have a coup attempt and now a Civil War with an invasion on our southern border. Joe’s right buy a gun!
I think the hot war will start when ex-military sharpshooters who are diagnosed with terminal illness start taking out leftist loudmouth, violent perps and officials, from long range.
I don’t want it to come to this; but you cannot converse with these anti-American, anti-God, anti-Constitution commies.
Depending on how Trump’s presidency ends, I suspect it will go hot either just before or not too long after his last day.
If he leaves office in the normal way, it will be after. If he is impeached, etc., it will be before.
In order for our side to fight back in any meaningful way we must first organize. We seem to have some natural refusal to do that.
The radical left are in firm control of our corrupt stasi state, corrupt courts, fakestream media, skools, hollyweird and social media. And the blue states are in open rebellion to the Constitution—the rule of law.
The left are on the march and I haven’t seen any indication out of this admin that they’re going to crack down on this lawlessness.

Ping.
But, however strange, it was a very real coup attempt...and that is enough to announce the beginning of CWII (which will most likely develop into WWIII).
"Soon"? It will be determined as the date by which recently passed legislation is formally published; i.e., a matter of days or, perhaps, today?
Everyone wants to throw the bums out, but they also want to keep their bum because he/she has acquired political clout in d.c. and can bring pork to their district. The problem is, they can only vote for their own bum, so rarely does a bum get thrown out. Thus 40 year bums in d.c.
Our modern-day "Stamp Act" occurred in the 1960's and 1970's... Our modern-day "Boston Tea Party" occurred in 2009-2010...
The time for our modern-day "stand at the bridge" cannot be too far away...
“In order for our side to fight back in any meaningful way we must first organize. We seem to have some natural refusal to do that.”
The other side seems to have more cohesion, although that seems to be getting frayed in spots.
The other side (socialists, communists, etc.) tends to purge their ranks after they have won; conservatives tend to purge their ranks before they can win.
He is so quick and clear minded. I wanted him for AG.
This series of abuses is getting to where homicides might soon be protected.

Seth Rich would probably agree, if he could..........
TERM LIMITS, NOW AND FOREVER.
I agree. Stunning comment.
Based on my long history at Free Republic, the description is “self purge”
It is apathetically correct to do nothing. Sanctimonious apathy is at the root
You’re 100% correct. I guess that segues into a certain level of selfishness in most people. A little... I don’t like what’s going on or my taxes going up, but we’re getting a new park...or some other nonsense like that. The fact that folks can’t see past their BS is beyond me.
A year ago I would have disagreed with his point of view. I don’t anymore.
The Leftists care not at all about wounding the country with a civil war. In fact, it goes right along with their desires. Sort of like the attitude that enabled the Civil War, except the rhetoric is not quite as rabid, yet, as it was back then.
Usually in a civil war all sides suffer casualties. Sadly, the left is almost untouched so far.
