The Republic is in the greatest peril since the Civil War. A grand coalition of its enemies is taking advantage of the weakness and frustration created by the lockdown of the economy and ordinary life, the protests triggered by video of lethal barbaric cruelty of a then-police officer, and the economic desperation and frustration that has multiplied over a quarter century of de-industrialization and widening class divisions as globalization has transformed our economy. (snip) The key moment was when the mayor of Minneapolis surrendered the city’s third precinct police station to the mob. It was as much a signal to the mob as the storming of the Bastille

Indeed, and what are the odds that the violent insurrection and the "bloodless" coup are not in fact one in the same? Zilch, zip, nada, nichts,

Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies were obviously clueless regarding the extent of planning and training that were put in place, waiting for a spark to trigger it. The next target is undoubtedly the upcoming election. It is not a coincidence that Soros has been busy funding candidates for secretaries of states and state attorneys. The trigger has been pulled and the 'transformation' of the United States is underway.

Just understand, people: Yes, this is an insurrection. No the riots AREN'T the insurrection, they're only part of the canvas. The intent is to force Trump to restore Civil Order, then BLAME HIM for the resulting death, even if its protestors killing protestors. The Insurrection is paid for by various Democrats, though the most obvious is the bailing out of jail the murderous thugs they hired to start the mess.
Impeachment Failed.
COVID-19 Failed - People are coming out of Lockdown with or without permission. The Economy is rebounding.
So now a page out of the Vietnam Era. Have massive demonstrations that include vicious mob violence. Beg for intervention, then stage a massacre, A la, Kent State...
THEN will come the insurrection using the previous as the excuse, hoping Trump supporters stay home while they overthrow the government. Be prepared to use our 2nd Amendment Rights to protect our country.

FTA: "A grand coalition of its enemies is taking advantage of the weakness and frustration created by the lockdown of the economy and ordinary life."
No - - they are taking advantage of an FBI which has spent three years chasing after innocent Trump supporters - - instead of infiltrating and stopping Antifa. Where is the FBI? Where is Fey Wray? President Trump - - how can you allow Fey Wray to keep his job in light of the domestic terrorist activities which have not been stopped?

The insurrection is taking place in blue cities and states. I think the other cities and states are ready or making ready for war. America can't fall to this kind of mess taking place.

If I was a cop or National Guardsman and had to stand around having bricks thrown at me, I believe I would pick up the bricks and throw them back into the crowd of 'upset protesters!' I would throw them over the front line of rioters, to the instigators 3 rows back that are throwing them at me. I guess I would just be returning their property.

This was a long time plan by democrats to harm President Trump. This monster was being built for years under Obama. It dawned on me that the ultimate 'tool' is the black man. It's all been too perfect that Black Lives Matter the new Black Panthers replacement then have a white cop kill a black man, Umbrella man (Antifa) starts breaking glass with a hammer and riots start. Blacks are used as weapons of mass destruction by their owners the democrats. The left knows what inner city blacks do all day and a good riot and looting is in their DNA George Floyd is all but forgotten on the first day.
This is a challenge for the President and all deaths and destruction will be blamed on him but like the virus this plan will fail because Americans don't want to see property destroyed all in the name of politics by the left.

#2; 'Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies were obviously clueless.
Surely you don't mean the same law enforcement and intelligence agencies that tried to remove the POTUS for nearly 4 years?
I don't believe they are clueless. Russia didn't work, Flynn didn't work, Ukraine didn't work, Covid didn't work....Now, with a few months to go, it's scorched earth time.
They can use the standby Useful Idiots to do the dangerous part, as they're just expendable muscle anyway.

Forgive my second post but upon reflection, my comment above (#10) shouldn't have been sarcasm

It never was about Floyd. None of them care about him. Most of them are not protestors, but paid looters and rioters. I understand bricks and fire ignition devices were pre-positioned. The organizers and those that paid them will not be punished for any of it. Our DOJ don't do nothing--but we will get messages of concern, probably deep concern this type, just to show how emphatically concerned the DOJ now is.

Amazing how long it has taken for some pundits to get a clue. Most of us here have known what this stuff is, and it is not about Floyd at all. This is about continuing the coup and to the point of maybe overthrowing the entire government as well. Now that Antifa has been designated a terror group, it should be quite interesting to see the response of Trump and Barr to all of this. Because the laws allow for prosecution of all those who support these terrorists as well. So lots of democrats from Pelosi on down, could be in huge legal trouble.

These events are controlled and organized by the democrat party whenever there is a opportunity to incite the party base to riot. That's how lil barry got his fame, as a 'community organizer'.

Well....our local media has jumped on the "white supremacist" bandwagon. I just received an alert that a small number of white men are the cause of the thankfully small amount of destruction in our city. It is thought that they are very likely supremacists. The mayor BTW welcomed the protesters to express themselves this weekend. The police are doing their jobs so far so that's encouraging. The mayor has directed them to he careful how they interact with the protestors. Let's be clear....it is NOT the safety of the police that concerns her.
My area is mostly conservative but lefties are trying their best to make inroads.

This insurrection has been taking place since late 2016. This is just the 3rd or 4th different angle that's been tried.

Mr Trump. It is insurrection and must be dealt with Insurrection act of 1807 to call up troops.....not the national guard.
We need Seals, Delta Force., Green Berets. Marine Recon and more.
The act of 1807 protects from violence. No one can remove Republic form of government or violence against citizens
Do something NOW!

We are only seeing just a small glimpse of what this world will be like when Christ comes to take His children home, leaving Satan and his followers to raise havoc in a godless society.
God help the people who are left behind.

Protest marches can no longer be considered acceptable behavior in civil society. Protest marches are now analogous to yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. The reason being that these marches will always be infiltrated and co-opted by radical anarchists. If you are inclined to march around carrying signs, you have to accept the fact that you will be providing cover for terrorists. Civilization can no longer afford to indulge this behavior. Stay home, stop marching, stop facilitating domestic terrorists. Or take the consequences.

This insurrection is just the next step in what was previously the non-violent coup. It has now proceeded to the violent stage. This is all part of the attempt to get rid of Trump and crush we, his supporters. Trump and his guys must know this.
I don't understand his reluctance to address the nation. I think he must. And that adress will be the most important of his life as well as one of the most important ever given by a President in the history of this nation. We are moving very quickly to civil war and the virus and lock down of our country, turns out, was the lay up as Soros, the Communist Chinese and Democrats, waited for a situation that would inflame the country. Trump must convey a sense of control of the situation while simultaneously being as sympathetic and empathetic to the nation as he was to George Lloyd's family when he called them. But, he must address the nation ASAP.

Yeah but on the plus side we can use the new scientific data and the new political acceptance of not wearing a mask to protect us from corona virus by simply self-identifying as an Antifa rioter. It's science!

Okay, I am like Doris Claiborne on this matter. And her comment to her Grand High Poobah suits here. I am disgusted in Nashville's mayor; what's not to detest, Democrat that he is? This is our second dose of ''Occupy Wall Street'' and it is another dose of anarchy from the Tides Foundation. It resembles a combination of Nazi Youth, fire ants and killer bees, and about as helpful.
I am not dumb enough to think all this is temporary.

I don't see it. I see a lot of big scary words by writers and much speculation and theories but none of that makes for a civil war. Who are we fighting? Blacks? Democratic-s? They the all we see are rioters throwing bricks, burning buildings. Where are the armed forces? Where are their weapons. There are not enough on either side of the wall that is prepared to start shooting their neighbors ... although ... if... but, no, not yet. Maybe it is not a war, civil or otherwise, because when some includes Red China it becomes all-out war. China might be spreading some cash around but they are not taking a lead. The underestimated President Trump once and they are not going to do that again.
I don't underestimate him either. Surely he has better intell than any of the writers - I'm a bit surprised at Lifson on this one. I understand this is a serious matter and must be dealt with in a manner that lets everyone know that it ain't going to happen. My money is still on President Trump. What makes anyone think that after Russia, China, impeachment, pandemic, that he can't handle this? These people are desperate, they know they are going down. What we are seeing is desperation in its final heave. This ain't war, some of us know what war is and this ain't it. Look at what they have for possible leaders. They are all jokes. If Obama takes over he's even a bigger joke.
Not every state is democratic run, Anitafa't is nothing more than a handful of punks, and the democratic-s can't even agree on who they want as their candidate. PT knows they are trying to outmaneuver on this but he can handle it, just like he handled every other maneuver that they have sent at him. If this is war, well then we are winning. GO PT! KAG! Veterans for PT! 2020 here we come! That's something to keep in mind over the coming days - PT unleashed over the next four.
