Nancy Pelosi turned down the National Guard!

Upvoted...if I was on my way to overthrow the government, the first thing I would do is put on my patriotic face paint in my pajamas, no shirt, head horns and a mega phone then head down to the capitol unarmed...BE SURE MY IMAGE IS CAPTURED ON ALL DEVICES for world to witness!

Amen! Did you ever state that the right way. Sadly, Conservatives, People of Common Sense, Republicans are too passive. The Left, Libtards, Progressives are so filled with virulent rage that they are able to out-shout those of a more thoughtful bent.

Upvoted.

Fortunately for the radical Left -- which is now in charge of the Dem Party -- they do not expect or want Dem Party voters to think for themselves. Considering that this jibes with what it MEANS to be a modern day Dem Party member, this works out well for both groups inside the Party.

I fear for this wonderful experiment that the founding fathers conceived. The Left has figured ways to work around the constitution and pay themselves and bankrupt America. Between overspending, fraudulent giveaways, like welfare to non-citizens and cancellations of student loans, we are pretty F*cked.

I am a confirmed political cynic and so, alas, I agree.

It feels like the end of the Roman Empire...

Doesn't it though? All while the barbarian segment of the population mindlessly cheers because they lack the intellectual capacity to grasp that they will be going with it.

They are either too brainwashed or so lazy intellectually to figure their way through it. Perhaps...

First they came for the far right, and I did not speak out—because I was not a far right.

Then they came for the Conservatives, and I did not speak out—because I was not a conservative.

Then they came for the Republicans, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Republican.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Also Britain had the 'most modern military' at one time and look what happened there.

They jacked with the wrong Fleet with Lord Howard of Effingham in command and Sir Francis Drake as vice admiral.
