Your words, not mine.
But possibly the wisest words you've spoken here.
:twisted:

(Remember that disaster of 9/11 when the left all turned out in the streets and screamed a lot about blood for oil? Then they went home and shut up. Remember that economic meltdown in 2008 when they all turned out in the streets and screamed a lot about 1%ers? Then they went home and shut up. Well this next disaster, they're totally going to break tradition and do something that amounts to more than taking their FB rants into the streets and screaming them aloud for a week. THIS TIME it's gonna be different. THIS TIME they're gonna do real shit, that has real effect, on something other than the number of likes they garner on social media).
:lol:
I concede society has a large amount of complacency. Rightfully so as long as you have food on your plate and AC on full blast. You make the most common mistake of every great leader who has fallen, you underestimate your opponents. I am not referring to the Left as your opponent here. I am referencing the ease of which a mob can be created via social media. One Kent State and what happens?

One BLM march with 3 shooters in the crowd instead of one guy in a parking garage. We will see if they go back home and eat their tendies then.

Maybe.
Every great empire falls eventually.
Which means throughout every human civilization the screaming nimrods at the very end were correct in predicting the collapse.
However, it ignores the fact that the screaming nimrods predicting the fall were absolutely wrong for 99.9999999% of the existence of that civilization.
Meaning their track record is shite.

And if you think we're transitioning from a democratic republic into Anarchy in a single movement (skipping over oligarchy, military dictatorship, and/or tyranny) I'd love to hear how you predict that's going to happen.

Three shooters at a BLM protest . . . . then what?
Military disbands and we all join Mad Max gangs?

Think about it.

I don't know what next besides the fact a Facebook Live video of cops mowing down a couple protesters will get a lot of viewers.

My main point is we are in a different environment than man has ever known so to base what happens next on what happened anytime before 2017 tier mass communication is apples and oranges.

There'd be no Paul Revere, just a Facebook post or a Tweet might suffice to cause enough consternation that people would pick up their arms.

A real test to come will be what happens when Trump meets the West Coast. When a Conservative Supreme Court starts ruling against them. When the yoke of the Potomac is heaved upon them what will their response be? Cali-Exit?? Makes more sense than Britain leaving the EU.

Of course as long as we keep the AC on and the tendies warm there isn't much to worry about, I think.

I disagree on this point.
2001 and 2008 aren't so far behind 2017 that the disasters encountered in those years can't offer a useful predictors to what would happen now.

In 2001 Millennials were how old HS? and in 2008 College?? That generation is a different breed. They have more in common with a 10 year old's experiences than a 50 year old's.

You got a large number of out of work, liberally educated, conspiracy minded 20-30 year old's stewing in mom's basement just waiting for the clarion call to enact justice upon society.

The only way I would not believe that this represents the mind of someone who should not be president is if there is some grand redirecting of news reports scheme Trump and team are implementing. For instance, Tweet that ridiculous statement to blow the WSJ story off the front page. That's the best reason I can come up with and even if that is the "reason" he still fucked up.

I used to poo poo the old, "what do I tell my kids about the president"...Not sure I do anymore.
Let's see, already now six pages under the thread about these Trump tweets about Morning Joe.

Wonder why, really.

What new here that we wouldn't already know about the old grumpy man?

I liked how the Finnish biggest paper reported the Morning Joe Tweets: "Americans upset about President Trumps tweets"

Yep. That's basically it.
