3. No, they will not

NO ONE, NOT ANYONE WILL STAND UP TO TRUMP.

The military? There is not another General Mark Miley to stand up to Trump. SECDEF Hogsbreath has cowed all the senior leadership of every service.

The courts? Quoting -- more or less -- Andrew Jackson: The courts have ruled, let them enforce their rulings.

We citizens? Plans are already being activated to clamp down on demonstrations on June 14.

The press? How many infantry divisions does CNN command?

The nation is fucked. Trump will, on June 14, declare an insurrection, activate the Insurrection Act, cancel elections until he decides the insurrection is over.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao -- they all are smiling to see their long-time rival country adopt their form of rule.

We have one and only one alternative but if I describe that, my comment will be deleted.
