    I agree, i think these Oathkeepers are dumb putting this on twitter and I always feel that this is really the big threat, that a group like this will go to an area and conduct a mass shootout. When the 'Oathkeepers' threaten violence I have to wonder who it is against, because if it is against the US Military then it's a suicidal mission so one has to think when they threaten violence it'll be against civilians.

    Then you'll have a lot of the 'lone wolf' wackos who'll be mad because their white ethnostate was never a reality.

    I don't think it'll be a full civil war but I am always concerned that one of these far right militia groups will take things in their hands and start committing violence.

    I know it's all just tumpannista fantasy but some anonymous person on Twitter proposed that a man instigating Civil War should immediately be removed as Commander -in-Chief.

    I sort of believe Admiral McMaster would just personally walk into the White House and drag him out.

    Man, we are off the rails aren't we? Who would have believed this ****?

    You won't see anything happen if the dems impeach. The senate won't approve it... unless they want to lose all their seats.

    I mean that certainly is a likely scenerio.

    I'm pretty sure Nixon would survive impeachment today with how people can be isolated into a propaganda bubble.

    A huge segment of the GOP is choosing retirement so, they aren't going to have a seat in the future anyway.

    It's going to be a serious test of the astroturf industry to not lose those retiring seats. Money and algorithms versus democratic outrage. Time to buy Facebook stock?

    while a little more than half of the US supports an impeachment investigation, less than half the country supports removing Trump from office. Good luck to the Dems.

    Were you around for Watergate?
    The flow of public opinion seems quite similar to me. And Nixon's accomplishments had a much broader appeal across the political spectrum (when we didn't know about him negotiating in Vietnam before he was elected and extending the War)

    Again there is no 'Voice Of God" defining our National norms now, and the outlets for counter claims are much louder. But "Americanism" is about the higher moral ground, whether it's just self-delusion or not.

    I don't think antifa has gone as far as to promise armed uprising, but they Black so you can never be careful with Thugs.

    Good thing we got these Patriots armed with weapons you see on some playgrounds.

    So easy to use even a child, or worse, should carry!

    In a perfect world they’d lose all their seats anyway for betraying their country and duty.

    Just me trying to reconcile the fears being leveled with an organization that hasn't taken any lives against the threats of groups in this thread who get glossed over by the antifa fear mongers.
