WELL, THAT BACKFIRED: Judges to Boycott South Dakota Courthouse That Will Allow Guns Inside

Custer County
A South Dakota county commission that voted to let people bring guns into the courthouse may have shot itself in the foot: The judges plan to boycott the facility. The Rapid City Journal reports that the presiding judge of the 7th Judicial Circuit has drafted an order that says the Custer County courthouse “is currently unsuitable and insufficient due to safety concerns.” Under the order, which has to be approved by a higher court, trials would take place in a different courthouse where guns are prohibited and judges may preside remotely. The commissioner who introduced the pro-gun rule refused to discuss it with the newspaper but has claimed the courthouse would be a target unless civilians could be armed.

    Trump has installed his toadies at the head of the Pentagon and there is reason to believe that he has done so in anticipation of declaring martial law due to a "rigged election".  He and his advisors are hoping that if it comes to this, the military mindset of following orders without question will kick in and then troops will be sent into the streets to put down any dissent from voters or political adversaries. This is a chilling prospect  as this would suspend the courts, habeas corpus and all other individual rights. Any American who thinks it couldn't happen is delusional as Trump has given every indication of being willing to do exactly this.

    He is certainly trying, but he overestimates what the military would be willing to do for him. Can't overthrow the rule of law without the force to back it up.

    like these people?

    "Nearly $1 million has been raised for Kenosha shooting suspect Kyle Rittenhouse, according to a Christian fundraising site and the teen's lawyers"

    also two million bail raised.

    they are in for a long haul, to set things straight it looks like.

    "basket of deplorables" was dead on.

    (CNN) - President Donald Trump on Saturday called Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, pushing him to convince state legislators to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's win in the state.

    Trump asked Kemp to call a special session and convince state legislators to select their own electors that would support him, according to a source familiar with the conversation. He also asked the Republican governor to order an audit of absentee ballot signatures. 

    Kemp explained that he did not have this authority and denied the request, the source said.

    Well old trumpy doesn't care about laws

    And why should he? He has, with the support of the GOP, committed treason, broken election laws and the Emoluments laws, not to mention all of the very apparent criminal acts he committed before becoming president. Thieves are gonna keep stealing until they go to jail.

    Trump's performance in Georgia would be funny but with the political climate in the US the way it is, it is both sad and frightening. America is edging closer to civil ware every day.

    The only reason Trump likes cucumbers is because it mirrors his presidency.. cucumbersome.

    But contrary to Trump, cucimbers have uses.
