Screw that! 10,000 well armed people should show up in Richmond and surround the capital, and demand the entire legislature that support the Govenor resign or be taken out of office, and that include the Govenor. The only thing that could counter it is the Military, and Trump is not likely to call them out, and say it’s a local jurisdiction issue. Let the cops handle it. Cops will all go home and they Rasta are shit out of luck.

Virginia’s motto:

“Sic semper tyrannis”

meaning “thus always to tyrants”

It suggests that bad outcomes will or should befall tyrants.

Kind of ironic - no?

50 million casualties seems high.

That's my number if it goes national. There are a lot of possible paths, but they all seem to end up at the same infrastructure breakdown. If it stays in VA, the number will be much lower, of course.

Do I need a point?

I guess I was trying to offer a word of encouragement to patriots in Virginia to trust in the Lord, stand firm and persevere.

For a little history on protests in DC, check out the history of the "Bonus Party", 1932.

For some time now, I've said if there were any kind of major armed conflict, Russia and China would also take full advantage of the situation.

Exactly right. And I have no doubt Northam has a couple Wally Malvones around him, telling him what a great opportunity Richmond presents, way better than C-ville.

[Great comment from a must-read Aesop/Raconteur Report blog post]
Nothing like a walking INTO the Dragons Lair and kicking him in the teeth to *ahem* WARM things up a bit.

In case these wanna be Hero-Martyrs missed the Memo the Voters voted IN these socialist-democrats. THEY have the FORCE of LAW and currently Public Opinion ON THEIR SIDE.

The Deep State WANTS you to dress up in Tacti Cool and brandish your mighty Black Rifles before LIVE TV Coverage. Then a False Flag “Patriot” will show up to shoot up a bunch of Grandmothers protesting your Militia March WITH TV Cameras a waiting before the False Flag “Patriot” throws away his evil AR and flees into the crowds NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN (unless you count him jumping into a 3 letter agency unmarked vehicle BUT THAT WILL NEVER be seen on TV).

What an AMAZING way to totally DISCREDIT the Patriot-Militia Movement as a bunch of dangerous crazies AND get Joe 6 pack to DEMAND that Weapons of WAR should be Taken AWAY from Crazies...

LOOK Long and HARD at ANYBODY who is Advocating this action. Are you sure they are NOT PAID by 3 letter agencies to provoke such stupidity? Or they are simply that hot headed and stupid? Who vetted that person?

Face it friends, ANY group large enough to hold meetings has 3 letter agents with in it OR weak minded loud mouths BOTH are a disaster for our Republic.

IF you want a BIG lots of people EFFECTIVE Action effort get the Politicians where it hurts.

START a REAL PUBLIC Billboard and such RECALL Effort on Governor Blackface AND All that support him INCLUDING Judges and DA’s. POINT OUT WHO Paid For all of their Elections. George Soros the Billionaire that currently has LARGE Stock Options for the COLLAPSE of the US Stock Market, WHO SOLD OUT THE JEWS in WW2 Hungary. When their gravy train is under threat they are going to THINK long and hard just how much they “support” this issue.

Our Republic is Politically ALREADY in ICU and our banking system staggering. Do you WANT a Greater Depression worse that the “Great Depression” AND a civil war destroying everything so the Globalists can eliminate America as a Nation?

Use your brains friends. As many smarter folks have said “The easy route is mined”.

Anything that transmits, in time, will get a broom-sized missile launched at it.

Unless they want to study you and your pals before they send the missiles. In which case they’ll just collect intel for a while.

"...don’t make the mistake of thinking the military and the civilian police will refuse to do it, because they all undergo intensive indoctrination regarding the mandatory nature of the orders of their superiors..."

Disagree. Retired Vet here (76-84 USN; 84-2000 USCG). I will NOT follow unlawful orders. The Oath I took has no expiration. I believe millions of my brother Vets are likewise as steadfast in their beliefs, and as resolved as I.

PS: My son was born on August 4th, Coast Guard Day. With many, many prayers from fellow Freepers in those early days, as we almost lost him. I will not dishonor my oath, nor will I ever shame him.

What a beautiful sight!!

From Wikipedia:

The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting a timber rattlesnake[1][2] coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the rattlesnake are the words "DONT TREAD ON ME".[note 1] The flag is named after American general and politician Christopher Gadsden (1724–1805), who designed it in 1775 during the American Revolution. It was used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag, along with the Moultrie flag.

Christopher Gadsden (February 16, 1724 – August 28, 1805) was the principal leader of the South Carolina Patriot movement during the American Revolution and a soldier and politician from South Carolina. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress and a brigadier general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, a merchant, and the designer of the Gadsden flag.

I am so proud to be a South Carolinian!

Some Background and Details on Recalls

The recall of Governors and other elected State officials is not a standard part of the original design of most of the United States.

The recall as a process came to exist in most places as part of the reforms championed by the original Progressive Movement (Progressive Era: 1890-1920).

The Progressives were concerned with finding ways to fix the extremely entrenched and corrupt local and State governments that existed in that era. (Boss Tweed being the most well known example, who looted over $25 million from New York City)

They sought to change laws so that it was harder for one man to set up and run a political machine, and that there was some mechanism to remove such a person once he was in place.

Other progressive ideas that were widely implemented were state run primaries to nominate candidates of the major parties, the initiative and referendum processes (allowing citizens to changes laws without or against the wishes of corrupt political machines), as well as the more famous progressive causes of woman's suffrage and prohibition.

The Progressives had more impact in the West, and in younger states that were still adjusting their forms of government than in the older, long-established Eastern States. Oregon and California were hotbeds of Progressive reform, for instance, and have almost all the progressive reforms.

This map and article in Ballotpedia shows the status of "recall of Governor" in all the States. Fewer than 1/2 the States have any provision for recall of the Governor, whatsoever.

Virginia's method is listed as "recall trial".

Here are the details from the above site:

Recall trial: The recall trial procedure, used only in Virginia, involves the governor being tried before a circuit court. The governor has the right to request that the trial be heard before a jury, as well as to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Virginia. In the event that the court finds the complaints against the governor to be valid, they are removed from office and the constitutional successor—usually the lieutenant governor—takes office.
