I will never understand people that have been free for 400 years clamoring for totalitarian authoritarianism and to enslave themselves.

That long?

Yeah, that sucks. Been itching to square things away with the left for some time now, ain't got all that much left to join the fun of cleaning them out.

The only realistic question at this point is “When did the present CWII begin?”

The Cold Civil War began in late December 2000 with the SCOTUS Bush v. Gore decision.

“Should the rest of us just accept them stealing power and do nothing but whine to politicians that will do nothing? “


That’s what I’m afraid will happen———a keyboard Civil War.

The “pipe bombs” were all fake sent by a Dem operative posing as a Trump fanatic.
Had a screw loose as well.

Better than the chance Comcast subscribers will terminate they’re loyalty to the enemy.

We pretty much play by the rules, the opposition doesn’t. What I fear will happen is, if a real Civil War does begin, the Dems will have already impeached Trump and Pense and put in their person as President. They now control the military and police and possibly bring in foreign fighters. Many think the military and police will be on our side, but I have big doubts on that. Maybe some, but the majority, in my opinion, will follow their marching orders. Us, winning a Civil War under these conditions may become near impossible.

Let’s hope it never gets to that point.

Gonna have to figure out identifying insignia or uniforms.

At the moment it looks like red MAGA hats vs. black bloc (Antifa).

We need better cover(s)....literally.

Wasting liberals would be very rewarding, if the ROE were favorable. A guerilla campaign would work to avoid residual law enforcement.

Biggest problem I see besides leftist aligned "authorities" is target ID. They will not all be inner city zombies or Antifarts in black.

How about the weaponization of the FBI? Or the IRS? Or the intimidation of the Antfa thugs?

Has any of this been resolved? Have the perpetrators been punished? Is either resolution or punishment in the works?

Are they just waiting on the public to forget? Shades of the old Soviet Union.

Yes, note how quickly the liberal media lost interest in the fake pip bomb story.

Almost as fast as that trans-whatever negress that shot up her co-workers. That was gone in a day or two once she was exposed.

Our side: USA flag on shoulder.

Their flag: One World flag or UN flag on shoulder, in Spanish.

Unfortunately, it seems inevitable. My only hope is that the morons in politics and the media are not representative of the generally more grounded and reasonable people in society.

A couple of random thoughts.

The “pipe bombs” the guy Sayoc sent out were NOT working bombs (as far as has been said. Why, I have no idea unless he just wanted to scare people). A bomb, in order to work/go off, needs a couple of things these didn’t have.

A proper term for what this guy made would be “fake bombs”, “fake bomb-like devices”, “intimidation devices”, etc.

Bombs need explosive powder or chemicals - RDC, Semtex, etc, to work, as well as electrical primers, igniters, squibs, and possibly electrical timers. As I have read so far, no complete “bomb” had what was needed.

Maybe the guy was just incompetent. He sure was crazy, so he’ll be charged with various felonies and sent for “mental evaluation” that could take months or years. Then maybe he will be sent to jail or a mental institution (and later released when some psychiatrist/psychologists says he’s “cured”.

The Pittsburgh killings was an act of a psychopathic Jew hater who should have been on someone’s radar (if Facebook or Twitter’s censorship or hate warning worked).

Lone haters like this, white, black, Christian, Moslem, crackhead, etc. are the hardest kind of killers to find and stop. By hardening targets, you make their attack job harder or even dissuasive.

Re Pittsburgh. The anti-Trump organization behind the demonstrations against him, Bend of Arc, is headed by George Soros’ son Alexander. Need I say more?

As a society, we have to face up to the fact that “not all men are created equal or if they are, will remain sane/equal/tolerant beings”. You know that it’s the truth but the liberals, esp. in most of the mainstream media, refuse to acknowledge it. They think that unicorns, rainbows, and lollipops can tame the savage beast of insanity.

Didn’t work well for Charles Manson and family, Ted Bundy, the Zodiac Killer, the Night Stalker/Ramirez, Colin Ferguson the black man who killed 6 white people on a train because they were white, Dylan Root, a white young man befriended by a black church who proceeded one day to turn on them and kill many of them.

And it definitely didn’t work on the guy who tried to kill the Republican politicians, staffers, and police officers at a ball field in Northern Virginia.

Let’s face it - with a country’s population of about 330 Million, you’re going to have tens of thousands of potential psycho killers, and more reasonably, hundreds or even a few thousand of them who will attempt to or actually kill various types of people for various lunatic reasons.

They still can’t figure out why Paddock killed all those people in Las Vegas, but he did and nobody cared enough to check his unusual behavior out.

With the revival of hardcore Marxist terrorism (Antifa, Revcom, Black Bloc, Red Bloc, the New Black Panthers, BLM elements, Eric Holder’s “kick them”, Obama’s “you bring a gun”, Maxine Waters “harass them everywhere they are”, and Hillary’s “we can’t be civil with them” war chants, it is only going to get worse.

However, one day, somewhere, a patriotic American or group of Americans is going to fight back and decimate a group of armed, rioting lunatics. If done effectively, it could break the back of most violence-prone groups, leaving only total psychopaths wanting a “Weathermen” type of warfare.

Most “radicals” are cowards when faced by determined, well armed and trained opposition.

As Gov./General In Tam, Kampong Cham Province chief in Cambodia, once told me about how he handled a deadly pro-Sihanouk riot in his city, “I told my troops to fire, and they did. They killed a couple rioters and we have not had any trouble since” (action late Jan/early Feb. 1970. Told to me Nov. 1970 at lunch with him).

Sometimes deadly force can stop more deadly force if applied in the right amounts at the right place and right time.

If there is going to be an “American Civil War II”, a riot by the Marxists/psychos might be where it is started, OR ENDED. It all depends on who has the guts and weapons to face down and destroy our enemies.

Looking at history, the various rises and falls of empires, ever changing borders, and human nature, the odds are pretty good that some form of social calamity will engulf the U.S. without a major trajectory correction.

Large scale riots,
Home invasions,
Arsons,
Looting,
Those sort of things.

The Left won’t be organized for a civil war.
But you know, you never know...
