And it's your, and your mute Congressional enablers', and your deplorable supporters', failure to discern the difference that's about to lead to one of the most humiliating defeats of an incumbent President in the history of the nation. 25 days and counting.

I hate to break it to you, but we've accomplished much of that collapse already.

I'm not convinced they have done anything wrong here. Would be hilarious if the jury agreed when this goes to trial and we have another Ammon Bundy situation.

And what party made Trump a fool for not promising to respect the results of the election, but when he won, kept claiming that it was unfair and we need to abolish the electoral college? Any particular political group you thinking about there?

Who's sworn that the election that made him president was rigged, and has been banging the drum on the "the election is rigged" for four years since?

The sheriff of Barry county, Michigan says the suspects may have been merely attempting to arrest Whitmer. This man has no business being a sheriff

Well she's still at large. Maybe the sheriff would like to try to make the arrest without warrant himself.

Ah yes. The US is quickly turning into Mexico 2.0, where bands of gangs attempt to kidnap politicians and violence is widespread.

I take that back. At least Mexico is beloved by the rest of the world.

Moralist hand wringers wrote your damn constitution, you ungrateful ... oh never mind. It's clear you're someone who wouldn't lift a finger against injustice of any kind, except in self-defense because that's manly. The FBI busting these militia, any subsequent trial, and consequent imprisonment ... it's all just "moralist hand-wringing" to you.

I remain extremely skeptical that you will ever be a doctor. Well maybe a specialist, with a big machine and a nurse to do the icky sentimental stuff with patients?

Okay and? Plenty of people are perfectly happy to pretend our constitution doesn't exist whenever it doesn't benefit them. And I personally think parts of it need to be written. I have nothing to be grateful for. It's a piece of paper. And oh, I forgot you were some sort of super hero would would bravely sprint towards injsutice and throw down your life to save others. Or, you're someone on the internet running their mouth to make themself look good because you'll never have to back it up. People who talk about how they'd totally stop this or that crime are exactly that. All talk. You'd piss your pants and cry in the corner. Actual heroes don't talk themselves up. Listen to a medal of honor recipent speak some time. Most of them are extremely humble.
