tRump just crossed the line and we all must be ready for violence being committed against us. [View all]

Well, he finally did it! Not only is this man child threatening millions of immigrants with camps, deportation, and violence, he is now threatening violence against native born Americans.

While I am not a violent man and at my core do not want to harm anybody, when it comes to defending my family and friends I will do whatever is necessary to protect me and mine.

If tRump and his sycophants think that Democrats, Independents and moderate Republicans are just going to lay down and be beaten or worse, he has another thing coming.

Prior to the Civil War, the North tolerated a lot from the South, but when the insurrectionists fired on Fort Sumter they had gone too far and we all know what happened then.

Hopefully Harris wins and she replaces Merrick Garland with a pit bull who will finally go after tRump and anyone else who has committed or threatened violence.

We will either be a country of law and order or all hell is going to break loose.

We didn't ask for any of this, but the right (tRump, Bannon, Stone, MTG, etc.) have been threatening violence against the rest of us for years.

Unfortunately, that means we all must stand ready and be prepared to defend our families, friends and ourselves
