    War on Terror, the global US born protest against the bullshit invasions following 9/11.

    So if you can’t keep him out legally, and he’s taking away your legal options anyway…

    Hey what are your amendments again?

      War on Terror, the global US born protest against the bullshit invasions following 9/11.

      I don’t mean to make you feel bad about this, but our protests weren’t that loud over here. Mostly because people convinced the populace that they had WMD’s. I was young and stupid and believed in our government.

      Hey what are your amendments again?

      Have you seen our police force? They have tanks and usually the option to shoot to kill. I know there are some to risk everything to against this regime, but they’re not the ones that are going to help the situation. They’ll just get mowed down. A financial hit to our economy is the only thing that will wake up the people who will do anything about this. Right now, they think that they’re the ones that won’t be hurt.

        Did the tanks stop Luigi?

        Sorry, I’m just tired. It seems like every time Americans talk there’s a million excuses for why they can’t clean up their own mess and instead we all have to wait until this spills into WW3 or something.

          Dude, you’re hand waving away some pretty extreme things. Let’s say that trump has a heart attack and dies from too many hamberders, it is shit buckets all the way down. There are many countries all over the world that have dictators and didn’t/don’t know what to do.

          Trump causing our economy to shit itself is the only way it’s going to be stopped at this point. Later, that won’t matter.

            I have a pretty damn good idea of what we are up against, and I don’t think violence directly towards the figureheads is going to work. Mainly because of their untouchability

            Lower level officials however will start getting their tickets punched if things keep going south with the economy.

            It’s all connected to money; healthcare, housing, and food. If the economy takes a hard enough hit, which will happen almost certainly now (trades falling apart and tariff threats create a pretty unpredictable market), there will be more and more people pushed to the brink. Just look at the Republican town hall videos, even their base is being riled up.

            There will be violence and a terrible economy in the near future
