About the expected civil war.

Probably comes down to the DHS; whoever controls the DHS will control the CONUS.

They'll be abducting the young bucks to fight in the foreign wars. Maybe drop us old guys out of an airplane.

My prediction. Trump 'wins' the election, gets assassinated JFK style, and Elise Stefanik takes control. It's not a conspiracy, or a theory.

I sure hope not. The last thing we need is for him to be made a martyr. I'll have to parachute in from above to shit on his statue.

More likely assassinated Beria style.

Well that sure beats my idea of training a bunch of well fed seagulls to make repeated pooping runs over it......

Indeed not. It's a delusional fever dream.

You guys are probably right (again), but I have to think about these things.

I'm forcibly tossed out of an aircraft at altitude without a parachute.

Below me is what appears to be an enemy radar installation on the shore of a deep body of water.

Do I 'wing suit / flap my arms' toward the water, or do I do my duty, and try to put a dent in the hardened military looking thing ?

I'm not going to lose any sleep over this, but I wish I was dreaming.

Just saw the movie "Civil War" on the eve of the hush money trial and it doesn't take a great deal of suspension of disbelief to see how we get there from here.

Excellent film, by the way. Deep performances, great script, stunning cinematography and editing. Highly recommended.

Movies about the first Civil War that I like; Cold Mountain and Ride With the Devil.

Ride With The Devil stars Jewel, the singer, in her first and only movie. Some of it was shot near where I live. It's actually pretty good, not as gripping as Cold Mountain.
