| 42. it will get scarier when we get Dem Congress & start impeachment proceed- |
 |
ings. Repukes are already hollering, "The Dems will impeach if they win, we can't let that happen!" If/when it does happen, there could be major turmoil including things like assassinations (remember RFK, MLK during Vietnam War), dirty tricks (we already have plenty but they could get worse) and police brutality and jailings during gatherings (as at Democratic Convention 1968).
So get ready, it might get worse before it gets better. Hopefully we will make a peaceful transition to a Democratic majority in Congress and then a Dem president, but it could get bad as impeachment proceeds. We really need to educate the sheeple because the more who are knowledgeable, the better for us in the days ahead.
