  1. How many seconds until Trump commits WAR [with or without any declaration] against ALL of his now many enemies, domestic and foreign ???

    END of the Roman Republic in 120 BC-27 BC — TYRANT Augustus Caesar and his gang won – Roman Empire.

    England – 1642-1649 English Civil WAR – King Charles I head chopped off.

    Stuff much more condensed since election day 2016 to now.
    —-
    PR and Appv and TOTSOP

  2. I may be alone in this, but I think some basic consistency is needed from the courts. If it is too much of a burden to submit tax returns, then petitioning requirements should be much more liberal then they currently are today.

    I see it as evil hypocrisy in saying that “Oh, no its too difficult for President Trump to file his tax returns” but it is perfectly acceptable to require Jane or John Doe candidate to collect 10k signatures.
