Losing an election shouldn’t put us in “last resort” territory. YMMV, but if you are dumb enough to post it on Facebook, expect the Secret Service to take a keen interest in you. ---

Mark my words, it happens a third time and you will see a revolution. No we won’t. We may see an amendment but there won’t be a revolution. Look at Syria, Libya, and Iraq for how revolutions look. You think the average American wants to live in that because something that can be changed by an amendment? ---

There should be NO tolerance for a president that is surrounding himself with racist and fascist pigs like Steven Bannon ! ---
