When he's done with the Palestinians, his love for the Jewish people and Israel will evaporate.

Yeah, he just gutted the VA along with everything else.

To my knowledge, no such “uncoup the coup” drill has ever been conducted.

Why would it be expected that you would have knowledge of such a thing?

Have you ever been to the U.S.? We can't all drive 3,000 km. We live in a country with drastically lower population density than European countries.

The U.S. is pretty much as big as Europe.

It's not easy to drive thousands of kilometers to get to their mansions. These marches happened all over the place, in major cities and capital cities.

They predict -3.7% if yesterday was somehow the end of it, but we know it's not.

-3.7% would be a dream compared to what's actually likely.

The possibility of a situation like this is why people never succeeded in repealing the second amendment.

And whether or not we agreed with that fact, it is likely to have some effect on the situation now.

This time may be different because the police may have a lot greater reason to join the people than they did in the past. The police's retirements were also wiped out, and the police's family members are a lot more likely to have been affected by those tariffs. I think it's too pessimistic to say what you're saying, because the number of people affected now is significantly greater.

An uprising seems likely, and an attempt at brutal suppression also seems likely, but the United States regime has also made enemies of almost every other country on the planet, and the groundswell of people is very large. The number of people in the protests today was massive:

If you see the sheer numbers, it's enough to give hope.

Unfortunately, there have been a lot of Dred Scotts of our time.

Dobbs, Trump v Anderson, et cetera.
