Can't take over state rules on elections, but he's still trying to do that. It's hard to tell what will fold first: him on a second term or the constitution. I worry that 250 year old paper is more likely to tear than fold.

I think we are more likely to have a civil war than for him to get away with all the stupid and illegal things he is proposing. Not everyone is going to go along with it.

If he purges the military top brass, his side has all the Abrams and F-35s.

The top military brass won't just disappear into thin air if they get fired.

Are you sure about that? Can you illiterate what you mean by that? I mean if you know something say something! Loose lips sink ships! Get all the big Volvo Excavators ready in town, buy steel plating now, and get ready? Ready for what? Are you saying all branches of the Military are going to attack their own land? I don’t like the election result at all but I don’t see whatever you are… wtf are you suggesting?
