I had a manager once who, after I was in bed for a week with flu, ask why I didn’t go get some antibiotics.
He was an asshole too.

I doubt he could get a Praetorian Guard to stand by him, so if he has to be extracted in a straitjacket from the White House bathroom, I’m cool with that.

This was the thing that stuck out to me also. And would not surprise me if we suddenly had an outbreak of domestic terrorism of middling competency, but enough to get plenty of people hurt and killed. Nobody has accused the shooters at Pulse, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas or Charleston of being “strategic thinkers” or anything, the way our country is structured you don’t have to be to kill a lot of people. It would be a very small number of folks willing to carry out such attacks, but there would be very many casualties. “Interesting times” indeed.

Well, Gorka’s not going to invoke the period’s most famous vegetarian, considering where his ideological sympathies lie.

If I may say, from an outside perspective, you already have all this.
People do things in the US all the time that we in the UK would certainly consider terrorism.
You all just do an awful lot to tell yourselves it’s somehow not.
Well, not so much BBers but even there it is a case of “Oh, no. Not again.”

True enough. I was referring to quantity, not quality. We have at least our share of self-styled revolutionaries, but ours are well armed and quite evidently capable of inflicting mass casualties.
Again, I don’t really understand what you mean. This stuff goes on all the time in the US. The quantity is high. Their activity levels are high.
Etc.
The uniformed guns are overwhelmingly dominated by Trump supporters. And US police have a history of ignoring the law in favour of their own political preferences.

The scary part is he doesn’t need one. If he can arrange private security to get the nuclear football he can order a launch just to keep himself in power if he’s competent enough to concoct such a conspiracy (which all should doubt). But I can still see him trying to do it even if he’s incompetent. Is it bad that I’m this pessimistic?

Not disagreeing with you, but to think the frequency of such attacks could not increase is naïve. And I am certainly not hoping for such. That is the worst case scenario, in which “freedom fighters” supporting Il Douche commit terror attacks at a rate that could make our current carnage look tame by comparison. And Mexico really may pay for a wall at that point, to keep American refugees out.
