If the Senate assists this attempted framing of an innocent President and votes to remove him, then I support President Trump in dissolving the gov and declaring martial law.

I definitely do not support that. Luckily for me, Trump respects the law and the Constitution and won't do that.

One Trident Sub can ruin a Deep State’s whole day. Cause, see, it was Swallwell who threatened to nuke conservatives.

One Trident could also glaze over Mara Lago and a bunch of golf courses. The problem with Swalwell is he wants to destroy America through the tyranny of vote fraud and majoritarian rule. The Deep State has different methods and motives. They are also very hard to nuke being spread out actors.

Yes, I believe that would do it.

Your erroneous assumption is that the military sides with Trump if he dissolves the Republic.

Exactly the opposite of the truth, troll-boi.

Red voters are spread out. It's lib votes who are concentrated in large cities.

On a related but seemingly unrelated topic, the DC suburban sprawl into Virginia has turned its state government blue and that has resulted by design in draconian gun control laws that are blatantly in violation of the 2nd Amendment

Huh? You mean proposed gun laws. There are people fighting against that, and we have not lost yet.

You’ve switched from Deep State to liberals, a version of the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy.

Just remember - it's 2/3 "of Senators present", not 67.

It was my understanding that all members of the Senate must be present during an impeachment trial, thus the senators running for president would have to suspend campaigning during that time.

the GOP political party instantly becomes non-existent forever ...

So they all join forces with the Leftists in the name of fairness, decency, cooperation, shared responsibility...and govern as the Uniparty from now till the nation crumbles.

Which wouldn't/won't be long.

No one said anything different.

It’s not about winning that fight.

With all things remaining the same, the patriots in Virgina WILL WIN THAT FIGHT.

It’s not about winning, it’s about timing.

It’s a state action so it can only go to federal appeals court on constitutional grounds.

Think about how long it takes for a state court case to wind itself through the federal appellate process.

It can be 2021 before the appeal can be won.

In the meantime, the Left led by Pelosi et al are going to remove the President and Pence because they have to.

Pelosi as Speaker will become President and Commander in Chief.

It’s HOW THEY THINK.

It’s not how we think, it’s HOW THEY THINK.

...people who say they don’t want a Civil War.

Shootouts in the streets.
Strategic cutoffs of power/utilities.
Economic devastation.
Families divided.
Openly weaponized governmental agencies deployed.
Starvation.
Epidemics.
Death of the vulnerable.
Lethal retaliation against patriots.

Yeah, it’s difficult to understand why people dread a Civil War.

...as soon as the senate exonerates President Trump, the DIMs will just “investigate” him again to see if they can create a perjury charge.

Libs are concentrated in cities and inner ring suburbs. Look at the county-by-county election totals maps.

Maybe as a result of our side winning the war, but the collateral damage on the way to that victory will be horrendous.

We’ve been prepping for 50 years. Now, we are elderly, have sold our property to downsize and all that effort and preparation is less viable.

I want this resolved in our favor by Constitutional rule of law.

I think POTUS does, as well.

Just my opinion but I don’t think it is possible to “return to a country of Constitutional Law.” We can’t just turn the clock back. The libtards have a vision for the future, a dystopia future, for sure, but they have one. Look at government sort of like an airplane engine for a second. Sure there are things you can do while it is running but for a serious overhaul you are going to have to sit it down somewhere. If we don’t the thing just crashes.

That’s right. And many wouldn’t even make it to the bunker.

I don’t think they’ll dare vote for conviction.

Amnesty will make the wall pointless.
The Democrats will have a permanent majority.
