I guess so.

The crazy train will just keep getting crazier, until we finally get to get off of it in seven weeks.

Nothing says "I believe in the constitution" like calling for a military coup. If you're a trump supporter at least. Ever notice how some think that if you're a true believer in the constitution then you can do all sorts of unconstitutional things to supposedly protect the constitution?

It’s definitely sedition if actions are taken in response to Flynn’s words.

Similar actions have been taken within coups.

if it had been flynn instead of gen. butler during the 1933 business plot against FDR, we might well have become another dictatorship.

So, can we finally stop pretending that the American right cares about the Constitution?

The crazy train driver who the passengers asked to stop driving the train is being allowed to keep driving the train for another 47 days.

There's a standing joke that if every black person in America got a gun license and exercised their second amendment rights to own a high powered weapon then the NRA would be the first organisation to revoke the second amendment.

not far from the truth at all, in 1968 the NRA supported the gun control act of 1968 because it would disarm the black inner city community by removing a legal class of firearm derisively termed "saturday night specials" because they were economical and easy for working class people to get.

Pretty sure that's whom the NRA mean when they talk about the right to bear arms. Black males are the protagonists not the old Union Jack anymore.
