    Where is the popcorn we are watching a movie. In the movie it looks like the hero is about to be finished then something happens and the bad guys go down. We have watched this with Trump how many times now that the plot is getting boring. I guess it is time to sit back and watch the show.

    We should also look at what we're being distracted from. For example, the Twitter files, Biden's political bottoming out, the status of the Ukraine war, and the destruction of our economy and of the nation. Instead, we're supposed to be concerned with whether or not Trump will be going to jail for paying off a hooker several years ago.

    Someone I read lately, perhaps Victor Davis Hanson, said the Democrats do what they do because they know that if the Republicans act in the same manner, the Republic will fall, and the Republicans would never allow that to happen. Apparently, something similar was what happened to the Roman Republic that led to the assassination of Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic when Augustus took over. So we have to watch things rot from the inside to avoid sudden collapse.

    I wonder what the founders thought when they talked about watering the tree of Liberty, etc etc etc. They had to know that anything emerging from violence would lack legitimacy.

    When you allow coup de tats to exist and not hang those responsible this is the end game and we have witnessed it being only the first of many to come until a couple hundred thousand armed citizens make things right again. There are not enough agents to rat on that many people and then ole nancy will know what a real rebellion looks like while attempting to keep ten toes in contact with the ground. I hope the pig is alive if it ever happens in our life time left. I know who all the rotten bottom feeders are and so do a lot of other people. You can't forget people who have destroyed America while we all sat around watching. Having a strong Army today is a myth, we couldn't provide force to any part in this world that wouldn't take less than 6 months to a year to assemble them and transport them. Then you would have to try and draft them which I don't think will ever happen simply because we don't use crack heads and thugs, at least I hope it hasn't come to that.

    The founders had just undertaken a violent revolution, yet they considered their new government to be legitimate.

    Most of them were natives of the American Colonies, while nineteen were born in other parts of the British Empire, but they were all subjects of the Crown.

    I saw some saying, somewhere, paraphrasing it…
    Democrats pursue agendas that destroy the country,
    Republicans work to preserve the destruction.

    Sounds to me like that episode of Andy Of Mayberry when Andy was trying to teach the kids to learn History because they were all interested in playing cowboys n Indians but not interested in History.

    Of the 6 living Presidents of the United States, only Donald Trump is not descended from slaveholders. Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden were found to have slaveholding ancestors.

    It will be getting deeper by the day, the articles of impeachment have been voted to go forward in the house so now the real thief and criminal will have to endure the heat. This time there is actual evidence to impeach that no one can deny. Not only that but I am sure the FBI will be on the hot seat for giving special treatment to the crackhead, and don't be surprised to see the people responsible gone before the end of the year. That leaves that crooked AG and he will be no exception. Honestly I don't know how any of these people actually became representatives of the United States, they are worst than most foreign enemies because they are so organized in covering their trails or flat out lying about the illegal things they have been involved with. No point in listing all those things because we're all paying for what they done starting just as soon as that half wit was sworn in.

    Our government is corrupt, plain and simple, and sad to admit.
