What If...

First its the Daily News. A low key propaganda outfit that also hype fears of criminal hiding everywhere to kill us all.

Second, responsible moderates always consider all possibilities. When the Supreme Court ruled against Nixon, the chief justice demanded a 100% vote one way or another. For many reasons including this one. They had to consider that Nixon would send the Army to occupy the Supreme Court. Things under Nixon had become that unstable.

What the Supremes did not know, staff members in the White House were also just as concerned about Nixon's mental stability and had already taken actions, if necessary, to protect the US from Nixon.

Trump is not a stable man very much like Nixon.

What will happen next? Are the walls closing in on Trump? Is this ( another ) begining of the end?

Will some recently declassed release from the DOJ put the "sha-zam" on something the dem liars say just moments after they say it? Like they do but legally because Trump declassed it.

Will Trump say "I'm not a crook"? Will Barr outwit the beast with another media narrative hijack?

Will Mueller re-testify that his report found no collusion? Will he testify as to WHEN he knew there was no collusion? Will he testify that he was going to continue the witch hunt until the 2020 election season if Barr had not spanked him and forced him to finish and submit the report?

Will Barr's gardener's tax returns be under subpoena? It's getting good.

I disagree. Whacko moderates consider all possibilities. Responsible moderates consider all reasonable possibilities. Every member of the Army takes an oath to support and defend the Constitution and it was well established before Nixon that any orders received had to conform to regulations and the UCMJ both of which are rooted in the Constitution.

It was not reasonable to expect a military coup supporting Nixon over any other branch of government nor is it reasonable to expect a military coup in support of Trump. Other branches of government would have to be in clear violation of the Constitution for that to happen. Likewise for the Army to take action against a President.

It was always a possibility back then just like it is possible (but unlikely) that the scumbag Don would also refuse to leave office. We are not talking about honest men here.

With wackos such as the Don, we must always consider these otherwise unlikely scenarios.

Pelosi's comments are unlikely if the White House has people who work for America. But so many of them get fired because they represent America rather than the Don's ego and financial interests.

Wackos are extremists (not moderates) - ie nationalists, White Supremacists, Nazis, Klansmen, people who kill in the name of religion, etc. American patriots are moderates. Extremists are not. Extremists are easily manipulated by soundbyte distortions of words such as freedom, liberty, the flag, patriotism, military loyalty, extremist talk show hosts, fear of learning facts before having a conclusion, etc.

Extremists are most often American citizens who would bomb an Oklahoma City building, attack moderates in the streets of Charlotte, stockpile reams of assault weapons in the name of religious lies, need solutions in big guns, hype more military and more wars (ie Mission Accomplished that still remains), fear immigrants (the most productive people in any nation), attack a pizza parlor because Hilary was operating a pedophile ring in the basement, hate Canadians, hate European and all all other American allies, praise Kim of North Korea, fear vaccines because a blond bimbo actress said so, believe Putin, subvert fundamental scientific research, attack China because they are becoming productive, and therefore vote for Donald Trump.

That is clearly the definition of an uneducated extremist. And not an educated and informed (and therefore patriotic) moderate.
