Cool. Who is he gonna shoot? Will he livestream it? What’s his twitch account?

I heard something similar from a friend of mine, a veteran. He is angry enough to start thinking of taking up arms, if it comes to that.

The frog seems to be waking up to the fact that it is being boiled. A new meaning to the term “woke.”

“A woman on the radio, talks about revolution,
Which already passed her by.
Bob Dylan didn’t have this to sing about,
You know it feels good, to be alive….”

“..with so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty….

Spring break atmosphere, no social distancing or masks. Feels good to be alive again.

Rose: Trump’s attack of Kemp was a very big unforced political error on Trump’s part. Note, I am worried that if freedom is not restored soon so that people can start living their lives again, we shall not simply see peaceful protests, but real violence and revolution. This is what I was referring to, since such revolutions usually find some leader with power as his or her goal.

This is not a good situation, but unfortunately our power-hungry and somewhat brainless politicians from both parties don’t really seem aware of how dangerous it is. Trump himself does not seem to get it either.

And the longer they let this drag on, the worse it will get.

I know that’s not fair, but from what I’ve read, Trump intentionally threw Gov. Kemp under the bus. Reporting is that Kemp had formulated his reopening plan without consulting D.C., but based heavily on the signals he was reading from the White House. He later spoke with both Trump and Pence and received nothing but agreement, support, and appreciation during the phone call. Then, before the COVID briefing, Trump was cornered by one of his advisors who convinced him that Kemp was going too fast. So instead of talking to Kemp first, he used the briefing to denounce Kemp’s plan and lie that he had disagreed with him over it on the phone. Earlier analysis I’ve read explained this a payback for Kemp choosing Kelly Loeffler over Trump’s favorite Doug Collins to fill the Senate seat Johnny Isakson vacated at the end of last year. Alternate analysis suggested that Trump wanted the GA plan to go ahead, but used his statement during the briefing both to placate his advisor and to cover his posterior in case the plan when badly. This is the first I’ve seen that Trump intended it as signal to other governors.

“We all watched that very carefully and no one wants to be called out like that by the President,” another aide to a Republican governor said.
…
After the President changed his tune and reprimanded Kemp last week, one ally of the President told CNN the hope among those concerned about Georgia was that it would send a signal to other GOP governors in red states to slow down. The concern was that other Republicans — already hearing from conservatives and seeing protests — would feel pressure to follow Georgia. Instead, Trump’s comments about Kemp gave them cover to reopen slower.
