I believe our country is in trouble, and the next act of insurrection will be worse.

Every one of these people need to be arrested and charged with treason, starting with tRump. Now. This is not free speech, this is a direct threat to our democracy. I am sick to death of the corrupt GOP covering for and supporting this madness.

Biden's desired "unity" won't be hurt by recalling Flynn, prosecuting him, convicting him of treason, locking him up for life, and stripping him of his pension. What hurts Biden's attempts to "unify" the country is loons like Flynn running around loose, with no consequence for their treason once they claim they were 'misquoted' or 'taken out of context.' Flynn grows his movement, and Americans look to Biden and wonder when he'll act.

Act now, Mister President. You need to shut this down. It's not like going after your predecessor for political statements; this is 'Seven Days in May' territory. Shut. Flynn. Down.

I not only think this is plausible, I think it’s inevitable. I was just watching Joy Reed talking with Frank Figliuzzi and Michael Steele and they echoed the same sentiment. I noticed Nancy Mace went on Twitter to post pictures of her street and house with the claim that antifa had spray painted obscenities, etc. Then someone in the comments called out the extreme similarities in Nancy’s handwriting with the stuff spray painted on the street and her house. And if she really did pull a stunt like that, I have to ask why. I really believe all this trash they keep putting out there is to continue building up the anger. They keep pushing and pushing, and I have to believe your endgame is to reach a boiling point so that you can take control. I have no doubt in my mind. And as Joy Reed mentioned on her show, that DJT would absolutely let this country burn to avoid whatever consequences he might be facing.

At this point I’m bracing for impact.

This is a case where “free speech” becomes a constitutional issue that needs to be re-visited. Other democratic countries have laws that prevent this dangerous incitement rhetoric. I am beginning to believe that our “democracy” is an illusion for a lot of our citizens.

Everyday I am growing more alarmed about what is happening with fascist organizing and the utter apathy and ignorance on the part of elected dems and a lot of liberals. I can tell you with %100 certainty that if the 1/6 insurrection had come armed for war, neither the MPD or the capitol police would have been able to respond to effectively. MPD trains to respond violently to unarmed leftist and anti-racist protesters. I really hope people will stop this nonsense about things going back to a normal because there is no normal that we might be familiar with that still exists. Fascists, including factions of former and current military and law enforcement members are ready to violently end our democracy. We have less than a year and a half to address this legislatively. Our electeds are not taking this seriously and all we can do is try to pressure them to do so.

Liberals sound like Alex Jones over this stuff. It just seems so irrelavent.

Mike Flynn is a traitor and why hasn't he already been arrested and his brother needs to be removed from his position ASAP. Trump has already said that he will be back in office in August. Take heed, they are planning something.

Michael Flynn belongs in prison. He is a traitor.

We need something to happen with Flynn immediately, strip him of his commission, title and military retirement benefits of $100K per year! This is the only thing they may understand. This illegality carried out by tRump and his minions cannot stand!
