I read the article and am left a bit confused,vis it just the capital cities that are threatened or is it going to be a threat of hell breaking loose all over?

What exactly are they hoping to accomplish? Do they want to do jail time that badly? Maybe the rare person among them will get shot too. Also, telling the internet armed protests are planned is equivalent to telling the authorities that armed protests are planned. :roll:

These have to be the dumbest people I've ever heard about, and they're certainly not doing their movement any favours. I have no doubt there are people with working brains among the Trump support crowd, but thanks to these clowns, any and all Trump supporters are henceforth going to be assumed to be complete morons, whether that's true or not.

Also, here's a list of what their Capital Hill protest accomplished:
- Fast-tracking Biden's certification due to Republicans who were originally planning to resist it deciding they were burnt out and just wanted to go home
- Getting their oaf overlord permanently banned from Twitter and Facebook
- Various large companies are no longer keen on supporting other right-wing sources such as Parler
- Their oafish overlord may or may not be permanently banned from running for office, thus killing even the prospect of a presidential bid in 2024

So...depending on who you ask, they're on fire, and should definitely keep protesting. :lol: It's working out so well for them, and I'm sure attacking their State legislatures will go down so well. 8)

This development is not entirely unexpected.  We are at a turning point: we either submit to this self-anointed "Master Race" or we show them how little they matter; we either bow our heads and learn to say, "Yes, Master" or we stand up for ourselves and deny them their self-appointed privilege over us.  We can no longer live under the tyranny of "Might Makes Right" when physical pride, physical strength, and aggression are exercised without compassion or respect for the weak, the disabled, and the disenfranchised.

They despise passive defense as too "sneaky", yet it is the one best way to defeat them.  Never confront, never engage, and never complain.  Erasing them from social websites is only the beginning, and dismissing them from employment is also a good start; but when they expect to return to their jobs, their communities, and even their families, let us already have been there to make their welcomes full of contempt and isolation.

They cannot be our masters if we refuse to be their slaves.

Ban guns, and they will use explosives, incendiaries, vehicles, knives, clubs, and fists.

Probably going to be another great victory for Darwinism.

A bit like the guy who tazered himself in the nuts then had a heart attack.

I'm guessing that was a Johnny Knoxville inspired activity.

Are you predicting that many will kill themselves in this effort?

Good Luck getting 37 states to approve the amendment needed to do this. I don't think they could get 25 states to approve such an amendment to the US Constitution.

Disappointing.

Still plenty of opportunities yet, though!

As Jim Jefferies has pointed out, the biggest outcome of gun ownership for "defence" (as opposed to hunting) is generally accidental deaths due to ineptitude and carelessness, and suicides.

As he's also pointed out with regard to anti-Government protest, "You do realise you're bringing guns to a drone fight?".

If there's going to be a successful coup it'll only happen if it's allowed to happen. Which is a possibility - the response the other day was shambolic to a suspicious degree.

I predict that the next "Coup Attempt" will not go off as planned.  There will be shouting, punches, thrown object, maybe some shooting, and pictures.

Lots and lots of pictures.

The FBI has “received information about an identified armed group intending to travel to Washington D.C. on January 16”.
“They have warned that if Congress attempts to remove Donald Trump via the 25th Amendment, a huge uprising will occur.”

I mean doesn't congress have access to multi-trillion dollar satellite tracking that can take out a person anywhere on the ground? Why not use special forces who took out Bin Laden? or test the latest in sniper technology. I mean based on the first "uprising" these guys are really easy to spot.

I don't think special forces would be really necessary in this case, since special forces are more known for blending in with the opposition and using covert tactics. Here some guys meant to stand out, simply wearing army uniforms and openly carrying rifles would do the trick.

There's already some concern over some members of the police/armed forces being sympathetic to the protests. This would compromise efforts to stop the second "invasion". Hence the need for special forces.
