I got news for you Spanky, you don't have a Justice Department, the United States has a Justice Department. 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.

Yeaaah maybe stop drinking the kool aid dude.

If there is no peaceful power transfer, the military will have to get involved, and that could be something very dangerous. We could even become a pariah, lose our superpower status, lose our outlook to the world as the torch of democracy, and our economy collapses due to our pariah status.

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

No he did not.

Stand back and stand by is not condemnation. It's wait for further orders.

It makes me wonder if there will be street fighting between certain groups following November.

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.

Why would you "---" Panslavicland's post? It's not like it was a Wall o' Text.

Just worried he will try a coup attempt if Trump loses the election. It also distresses me. Anti-left hate sentiment from the right does nothing. Whatever happened of honestly disagreeing but no we have this guy Trump trying to turn it into his playground like Bane in the Dark Knight Rises.

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?

Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug.

I've long been a proponent of having a boxing match between the presidential candidates in lieu of an election. The toughest fighters are usually the best leaders.

So a group of terrorists tried to kidnap a government official.

Conspiracy to commit kidnapping, murder, and bombings are seriously wrong and extremely illegal.

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.

What does any of this crap have to do with a group of terrorists who planned to kidnap a governor?
