Yes, they were wildly overconfident that they could profit personally enough to offset the probable outcome of putting a malign vindictive mentally-ill megalomaniac in the most powerful office in the world.
Evil twits.
They thought the leopards would eat your face.
And they’d get to watch.
Well, they DO call themselves the Oath Keepers.
Of course, things are different now. The guy in the Oval Office is white, for one thing. :dubious:
I’m curious as to whether this could lead to a legal challenge under the Third Amendment, on the grounds that seizing the land (including in some cases houses) for military purposes without Congressional approval would constitute a violation of the spirit (if not the exact letter) of the amendment. Sounds like a fun exercise for the law students, at the very least.
“Fun” 
After I posted that, I skimmed a couple sources that said there is a process for the military to take over private property, but like regular eminent domain, the government is required to pay market value for the property. Apparently this process has been used in the past, and in fact there used to be a big ordnance production facility not far from where I currently live, which was built on land acquired by the military through this process in the 1940s. It sucks having the government take your property against your will, but at least they have to pay for it, so there’s that.
Anyway, I didn’t watch the address last night, because I’m trying to do Dry January this year, and I’m having a hard enough time as it is without subjecting myself to an Eight Minute Hate. I gather that Trump didn’t declare a state of emergency or propose seizing property. And he didn’t come out with underpants on his head and pencils up his nose, so I guess not much has changed since yesterday?
Trump threatens to cut off FEMA wildfire aid to California on the grounds that all they have to do is properly take care of their forests and “get their act together”, and then they wouldn’t have this problem, ignoring the fact that some major California wildfires are not taking place in forests

Talk about a scorched earth campaign!
More proof that brains skipped both living generations of the Trump family:
Now, class, who can tell me why this might not have been the best example of economic news for Junior to use…? Let’s not keep seeing the same hands…
Not to mention that the majority of fires in California occur in federally-run “forrests” (Trump’s spelling).
Just want to point out that the article is over two years old.
Evangelicals want the federal anti-lynching bill to be changed to exclude gay people from its protections.

I just can’t get over the fact that we need a bill to make it official that lynching is a hate crime :eek:
Federal hate crime. It’s already a hate crime in several states.
Isn’t James Dobson the guy who said that men should shower with their sons to make sure they don’t “turn gay”?
Both vicious and stupid; what a combination!
Seriously, “Christians” want to be able to lynch certain types of people? And they want to be sure the law permits this? Seriously???
Great, so Jerry Falwell Jr, Franklin Graham, and now James Dobson are all pushing the Trump cult. This is sickening.
Well, no. It will still be illegal in all 50 states to hang people without a trial. What they don’t want is gays and lesbinems being mentioned in Federal Law along with …people.
If Jesus had a grave he’d be revolving in it.
Yep.
