OT NYE terror attack in New Orleans. 10 dead, 30 injured

Isn't he the one who yelled "you lie" during President Obama's State of the Union speech, then fund raised off it? Or was that another asshole? Hard to keep them straight.

 

Sounds like a prelude to martial law........or worse.

 

Facts don't matter.

 

The Tesla driver in Vegas was stationed at the same army base as the driver in NO....coincidence?

 

I was reading yesterday that from 1965-1971 the govt ordered the National Guard to confront US demonstrators 260 times. martial law has been declared mostly following natural disasters but has been declared many times going back to the 1700's. America has a pretty wild history of protest and public unrest.

 

Good to have plenty of excuses for declaring for when people actually protest… but I have to wonder if the fight hasn’t been beaten out of most of us already.

 

From my view civil unrest and domestic terrorism is on the rise...Jan 6th was pretty recent in terms of history...the BLM marches are pretty recent history. It tends to repeat itself. Globally, right wing politics are on the rise in Europe and definitely here stateside. Hopefully there are still enough voters willing to continue to fight against bad legislations that are most certainly going to be introduced over the next 4 years.

 

Since we don’t get to vote on the legislation we must rely on the stout hearts of Democrat politicians. I’m trying not to laugh too hard writing this.

 

At least I get a vote on local legislation. We actually will need to rely on the few dozen moderate Republicans in the house and senate to maintain checks and balances for the foreseeable future..the Dems will probably hold serve as a party ..a couple of their stumbling block votes have retired now like Minchen.

 

I am fully expecting that Trump will use the "rally" just prior to the inauguration to encourage (in the way only Trump can) his MAGA followers to engage in disruptive acts to provide cover for the outrageous (and democracy defying) crap he is going to try and pull from Day One. Why else, after having won the election, would he feel the need for a "rally". I can't believe I am actually considering buying a firearm after 70 years of not needing one.......
