Senate Trial has started.

Acquitted. Not much of a surprise, but it’s encouraging that seven senators voted to convict. That’s seven more than I expected, as well as seven more than have EVER voted to convict a president of their own party.

I'm just hoping some of those "militia" fuckwits use this as an excuse to do something stupid and that the authorities crush them, hard.

It will provide a valuable example to others.

I think a good weapon to use against militias would be for the media to stop referring to them as ‘militias’ and start calling them what they are - domestic terrorists.

You don't quite understand -

The media finds utility iin the "militias"

First understand - the.media inflates the numbers. I have seen this first hand. When the media was reporting the Michigan Militia had over a million members - (1990's) I was there - and know for a fact there was not even 10,000 members. My best guess? Between 4 and 5 thousand. That is a conservative estimate. It was likely lower.

But - the.media loved them - because they "sold newspapers". 

The militia was a handy boogeyman. Outta control whackos with guns AND THERE'S MILLIONS OF THEM!!!.

Yeah... Sure...

Believe what you like.

I was there. I saw what I saw.

And it wasn't millions.
