    Now you know the definition of a veiled threat.
    What? I mean, be sure that what you say isn't mistaken for a threat. The FBI is going to be much more active now, given what happened on Wednesday. If you know of militia that may potentially rise up, that could be a problem. For instance.

      Chill, bro.

      They have access to the same internet platforms and information as I do. And of course they have the unconstitutional power to read your private mail and your phone calls. So I don't know anything they don't know.

        Fair enough. Still, I would take more care. Your comments were borderline in some instances. Humans have choice, there is no cause and effect.

        It was also a literary prop. to point out that you yourself have made claims about "cause and effect", with a large portion of the US populace falsely believing they have been cheated, and Trump continuing to drum his, proven false, "they stole" narrative, might give "cause" to some pretty bad "effects".

          Insulting those with whom you disagree is a sure sign that your argument is crap. But keep doing it, it's an easy marker for the rest of us.

          The fact that his admin people have "jumped ship" could just as easily mean that there's no one to buffer his bad impulses. Congress can't really "nullify" his power quickly, not in the instant his giving some crazy order. Maybe you're the one that's got this perspective wrong? Try taking just a moment to consider the other person's point of view before just calling them "deranged" and dismissing everything they say.
          "If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

            In oxmixmudd's case, it wasn't at all an insult. There are things happening in this country to definitely be mindful of. Trump ain't one of them. If you guys want to live in fear of the Trump boogieman, have at it.

              Silencing those with whom you disagree is also a sure sign that your argument is crap. So why are the big social media platforms doing it?
