Today is either the beginning of the end for Drumpf or Saturday was the beginning of the Second

Civil War. Withholding judgment for a few days.

I have this to say to any lurking Nazis. I am seventy years old. Who values their life less scumbag? Me or your alt-Right loving ass?

Or the police that routinely shoot and kill unarmed black civilians, then chant "Blue Lives Matter!!!"...?

As to the military, they are one of the most right-wing blocs of American society. From all accounts, they're filled with white supremacists and neo-Nazis at the lower levels. And those at the higher levels take their oath of loyalty to their commander-in-chief very seriously.

Instead, there were those who reached across the aisle to be friends with the brewing, festering American Nazi Movement's leaders.
