Nothing says "just following orders" like that pic.

You do bring up a good point, though. Back when the Bolsheviks killed the entire Russian royal family and took over Russia, they had a pretty fearsome, capable, and reasonably bright brute in Lenin who was not afraid to kill millions of dissenters once he got his revolutionaries into power.

The Biden crew doesn't have any such figurehead with the proper qualities. Biden is a senile old goat who hasn't done much of anything of worth during his past two centuries in office. Harris was the least popular candidate and prefers the bedroom to the death camps. AOC is crazy enough to order mass exterminations, but too stupid to manage the affair properly; she just doesn't put forth an aura of fear, more like nausea and hysterical laughter. Pelosi is too busy slamming gavels and eating gallons of ice cream.

So who can carry out what now needs to be done in order to usher in the grand Utopia of authoritarian collectivism? They need someone with stones enough to kill millions of innocent people, yet is charismatic and bright enough to not alienate too much of the base and still garner support for a holocaust. Seems they have quite a conundrum. Where is a Stalin, Lenin, Amin, Pol Pot, or Hitler figure when he is most needed?

If they really are serious it is true paranoia. There would be no point in it. Killing Biden would get Harris, offing both of them would get Pelosi. Each one from a Conservative point of view worse than the last. I think Biden is a semi senile possible child molester but his politics have generally been moderate in the past. whether he keeps it that way is hard to say with the far left pushing him along but i have no doubt he is Worlds better then Harris and Pelosi. Anyone who has looked at either of their histories, especially Harris, know how dangerous they could be.


All of America should unite in a single slogan, "keep Biden alive"

Sounds like the military needs to assign political commissars to each unit to make sure soldiers adhere to the correct political ideology.

Only the nutcases believe any of that.

Nobody banned Parler. Amazon gave them 7 weeks to comply with user agreements. They refused. Now, they’d rather play victim then get their own servers. If it was my company we’d have our own servers setup by now.

Here is a crazy scenario.

Say there are riots all over the nation and the national guards have failed to hold back rioters at several capitols. Trump may order marshal law over EAS (the "giant voice" he referred to in his tweet), orders all gov locked down (basically suspending the inauguration and constitution) until peace is restored, and orders in military. Say it happens on the 19th.

However Biden ignores Trump's order that the gov is locked down and he swears in anyway, in a secret location. Biden would say he is commander in chief, Trump would say he is!

That would cause riots from both sides. Biden rioters fighting Trump rioters? Would the national guard think it's commander is Biden or Trump? The military has just been ordered in under Trump, so they see Trump as their commander.


My suggestion. Stay close to home and avoid travel on highways right now that may become jammed or have road blocks. We don't know what's going to happen.

I've been there when it was actually happening. Have YOU? And yes, it looks a whole lot the same here now. Troop surrounding all government and historical buildings. Tanks. armor personnel carriers. A dozen different kinds of police combing the streets of the cities.

It's really not that hard to bring pictures up from Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, etc from years past. Use Duckduckgo to get a better search result. I realize that you've only been taught woke history, but all of these sorts of things DID happen south of our border. I was in Peru. But very similar things happened in most South American nations and Central American nations. So who is the nutcase? Those who actually SAW such conditions or those who claimed they never happened? Are you a Holocaust denier as well?

Washington DC, US of A:

They'll do what they're told no matter the political ideology or team giving the order. And the powers that be will have only one thing in mind when giving the order, the preservation of its own existence.
