      The guy’s been screaming his intent for years now and y’all are still convinced he doesn’t mean it.

          Depends, will anyone actually do anything if he does?

          So far, the answer has been mostly “nope”.

            Then you haven’t been paying attention. Almost everything he’s been trying to do that is actually against the law, has been blocked in court.

            And if you’re one of those folks thinking that he could at some point just invoke the Insurrection Act and use the military to take over…then you should know that the majority of the generals in the military would not follow those orders, unless there was a clear and obvious threat to the nation.

            There would be no “Order 66” moment…only the beginning of a “civil war” within the military, that would most likely result in a stalemate due to officers simply refusing to order their troops to fire on their own people.

              This trust the process stuff is just copium. The fact george bush wasn’t prosecuted for WMDs and Reagan wasn’t prosecuted for Iran Contra are the original sins here. Unless Bush gets prosecuted we can’t even begin to fix the problems trump created because they are all downstream.

              You’re trying to dam a river at the delta where it meets the sea. Threaten to prosecute bush though and you pave the path for prosecuting trump and fox news and all these billionaire media owners.
