RED LINES
Here are the actions Donald Trump could take that would set these protests in motion:
THE RED LINES – in graphic form here.
Firing Mueller
Pardons of key witnesses
Actions that would prevent the investigation from being conducted freely, such as replacing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Mueller’s current supervisor, or repealing the regulations establishing the office
* The firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions would be one step short of the break glass moment. We would not trigger events, but we would respond by growing the rapid-response list and demanding that any new AG protect the investigation and that Congress pass the Mueller protection legislation. *
It all boils down to defending democracy. The framers of the Constitution clearly wanted limits to the power of the president—that’s why they gave Congress the power to impeach the president, gave the judicial branch the power to say that things the president wants to do are illegal, and even made the president accountable under the law. If Trump obstructs the investigation, it may be a criminal act, and it’s definitely a challenge to whether Congress will protect these limits or allow our democracy to erode into something else.
"Shock troop" is a calque, a loose translation[1] of the German word Stoßtrupp. Military units which contain assault troops are typically organized for mobility with the intention that they will penetrate enemy defences and attack into the enemy's vulnerable rear areas. Any specialized, elite unit formed to fight an engagement via overwhelming assault (usually) would be considered shock troops, as opposed to a "special forces" or commando style units (intended mostly for covert operations). Both types of units could fight behind enemy lines, by surprise if required, however.
At some point in the future, violent left wing protestors (BLM, Moveon, Antifa...) will be involved in an incident causing death

Mark my words...
At some point in the future, violent left wing protestors (BLM, Moveon, Antifa...) will be involved in an incident causing death... they will cause the death of an innocent. When that happens... all hell WILL break loose.
The leftist d-bags have been clamoring for a civil war... even begging for it. It really will not end well, for any of them.
The people that they continually try to provoke, own billions of rounds of ammunition... while they cannot decide which gender can use a specific bathroom.
The American right has been VERY patient, allowing things to play out in D.C. without rioting, or violent protest. When the psycho left starts killing people (and they will... once again, mark my words... put it on your calendar...), that patience will end.
Soros will end up deceased, or exiled on Plum Island.
If that happens then it falls under the legal definition of Sedition.

because there are so many of them.
How young are you?
Protest. That word, and the action, means less every week, because there are so many of them.

This:

Or it doesn't matter if violent right wing idiots do it? Because the law will handle them? Whereas if it happens from the left there will be revolution?
That doesn't speak well for the right. Does it?
My side? My "side" didn't say this:
Doesn't speak well for your side of the debate when all you've pulled out so far is one hate crime act.

I was just wondering. Because I was involved with some protests about the Viet Nam war. There were a lot of them. They seemed to have an effect.
