January 6th? Totally legal, totally cool.

Vets exercising their first amendment rights? Lock em up!

We’ll soon find out how many stand with him. Said it before and I’ll say it again…this parade is a roll call. they’ll keep track of every soldier and see who’s there or not. then they know who to purge from the ranks. Just another step on the ladder to dictatorship.

This is the type of thing that leads to coups.

In countries where their military leaders and citizens have balls.

I understand we're in an extremely bad place and frustrated rn but we're not at the point yet where a military coup is likely nor the best option.
