Ultimately Depends I guess on the judiciary, the Secret service, the alphabet agencies, the police, the armed forces, whether Biden has rooted out the criminals. This explains why the tuberville hack is stopping military appointments.
Yeah it is right there for the taking.
I,appreciate Biden’s calm demeanour, but someone with anger and fire needs to become more visible.
to oppose the anger and fire spewing from everywhere on the right. The Democrats need to speak up forcefully and together about the danger.
and the eco system, is truly collapsing. Everywhere.
very grim times.

A perfect scenario for the installation of an authoritarian government and/or civil war.

Won’t scare a lot of people
“Most Republicans in a January 2020 survey agreed that “the traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it.” More than 40% agreed that “a time will come when patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands.”

also.
“If this were a dictatorship, it’d be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I’m the dictator.”
– George W. Bush
White christian right wing is fine with authoritarianism. See…. Central, South America.
just say “ communist” they fall in line.

If this doesn't scare US voters, nothing will. But probably it will not.

The similarities between Trump /US and mid 1930s Germany continue to build.

There are many reasons and causes that people become addicted or over consume alcohol. Indeed it is often to self medicate to hide or mute pain,hurt or other mental issues. Some people's brains are hard wired differently and experience a stronger rush of pleasure causing endorphins. This can overwhelm the brain and it will shut down the reception of those endorphins. This often causes people to respond by drinking even more.
Alcoholism or Alcohol Use Disorder is vastly under diagnosed. It takes many different forms but one thing that is the same is the damage, hurt and pain that it causes to those around them. I'm very sorry that you had to go through a childhood like that. I wish you all the best in dealing with it.

MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin Warns To Take Trump At His Word Over Latest Wild Threat
Don’t dismiss Donald Trump’s vow to lock up his political enemies if he wins back the White House, MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin said on Sunday.
It wasn’t “hard to imagine him following through,” said Mohyeldin.
Mohyeldin recalled Trump 2016’s campaign promises to ban Muslims from entering the United States, to build a wall on the southern border with Mexico, and to strive to end abortion rights by overturning the landmark Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade.
All three “seemed like absurd, vindictive moonshots at the time, but in some form or fashion, he in fact did carry out on all three of those campaign promises,” said Mohyeldin.
“So when Donald Trump says that he truly plans to lock up his political opponents, I for one take the man seriously,” he added.

I said this all along Trump with his AG will round up everyone who has ever crossed him have them jailed and if he really fancies it after a Kangaroo Court execute them like all the dictators do. He is a dangerous unread egotistical man who has conned America and has mused about shooting people and nothing coming of it. As a side note the WSJ has him and Biden neck and neck on a recent poll , election is a long way away but even with all his baggage if the election happened tomorrow it would be a toss up.

In the backshot they are showing on TSN now the Line Judge and Back Judge clearly see the headbutt because they come flying in and are there by the time Bombers OL meets Robertson.
Need repercussions for that crew not being able to call that on field.

A pretty big generalization but I like the quote regardless.
" Christianity started in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise.” Rev. Sam Pascoe. -

Rough play - disqualification..25 yard penalty should have been called after replay showed what happened..why CC didn't step in is baffling... actually unbelievable considering how they preach player safety...that's about as scumbag and gutless a play you can make in any sport...what sport would that player not been tossed and league already have put out a suspension??? Nine that I can think of...just goes to show the culture breeding over there...and nothing has changed since they got rid of some.of the other losers..they just sheep in wolf's clothing there and unjave seen it slowly creeping back in last part of season

Blatant headbutt to the face. No doubt that should be total ejection

No way. McCrae could barely get the ball.
Parker did the exact right thing there. We'd concede the point for the field position. Sask helps us now with the No Yards.
