I think of a Constitution as like the operating system of a computer. There are hacks in it, and once it’s hacked, the hacker controls it. With an operating system, hopefully you get security updates so that you are only vulnerable for a short time. But patching a Constituion on the fly is hard. The hacks in our have been found, and the hackers have gained control. That’s what Alinskyism is, really. The science of hacking governmental systems.

Cruz, if he is elected, will try to address the problem by Constitutional means. He will fail, because the Congressional Republicans are deeply corrupt and incompetent (Paul Ryan), and because he will not have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. Even if he did have such a majority, there will always be Republican Senators for sale who will scupper anything useful he might do.

I do not see trump as being either a competent or successful dictator, but I believe that a dictatorship is our only hope if we are not end up in the camps, or dispossessed and attaindered as class enemies.

we are heading for a world war at the same time we have a civl war.. this is how the US loses in the near future as we cant make anything, the men are no longer competent, the women will fight, and the public is mostly on psychotropics… wheee… [just think of what the ladies march through the culture as the army of the dems who is the front of the administrative state has used them to make changes regardless of constitution]

cant post… forget it..
let the dog and pony show of distraction continue

I’ts no secret that the current administration is preparing for urban unrest and apparently believes it will come from ex-military and the right. I’m not so sure that is where it will start. They’ve almost issued an invitation to terrorists by leaving the southern border wide open. I’ts like they are setting up for conditions that would necessitate martial law. Then what, suspension of habeas corpus and posse comitatus, federalizing local police, emergency executive powers, fema camps, all the nightmare imaginings many on the far right have predicted?

A breakdown in civil order could happen almost overnight. Thanks to what I believe is a stupid and shortsighted corporate policy of just in time inventory, we are extremely vulnerable to food delivery disruption and shortages. Add in the very likely prospect of bio terrorism specifically targeting our food supply, and we are a ripe target. Other targets could include our power grid and communications. Think Katrina magnified a thousand.

Whatever the cause, desperate people with guns, millions of guns and many millions of rounds of ammunition, will not go quietly into that gentle night.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Obama has to run the Presidency like a dictatorship. He has had no choice. He has no political skills. He has no friends in Congress. He doesn’t talk to Congressmen. He has no negotiating skills, so in lieu of all of that he had Harry Reid effectively shut down the Senate so he wouldn’t have to deal with Congress at all. He relies on his managerial powers to simply order the bureaucracy to do what he wants, regardless of the letter of the law. So much of what he has done is simply completely unlawful and subject to immediate change by the incoming President, who only has to order his new cabinet to enforce the law as written.

Why would Trump govern like that? He’s the one who HAS the negotiating and political skills. A President Trump isn’t going to ignore Congress. I expect him to be deeply engaged with Congress because he’s going to want to push legislation that actually enacts his agenda into law.

Adhering to the Constitution’s strictures is the quickest way to dismantle the leftist government. So much of what the Federal Government is doing lies outside the Constitutions’ strictures that a President willing to use that as justification could easily dismantle giant swaths of the regulatory state in broad sweeps. Whether Trump wants to do that, I don’t know. But the notion of Trump as wanna-be dictator is leftist projection. That’s not who he is. That isn’t where his strengths lie and that’s not how I expect him to act if elected.

If there is a rigged impeachment and conviction, that serves only to toss some earth onto America’s coffin. I am not at all sure the impeachment process would slow Trump, who is a “Damn the torpedos!” kind of guy, which I regard as a feature.

The Congress that would not impeach Barack Hussein would impeach the Donald? Just proof the Nation is already dead.
