The state of Trump:

Washington, D.C. GOP hate Trump. Not only did Trump lose the election to Nikki Haley, but in a city of 700,000 people, Trump received only 676 votes

Trump has made clear the feeling is mutual. At a time when political parties usually staff up,

Trump is waging a nonstop war on mail-in voting and has made it clear the RNC needs to do its part. Who better than to carry that out by election denier Christina Bobb

The CIA also has a manual on insurgency. fas.org/blogs/secrecy/ā€¦

And itā€™s absolutely fascinating to read. Itā€™s not a big manual. And it was written, Iā€™m sure, to help the U.S. government identify very, very early stages of insurgency

And the manual talks about three stages. The first stage is pre-insurgency. Thatā€™s when you start to have groups beginning to mobilize around a particular grievance. And itā€™s oftentimes just a handful of individuals who are just deeply unhappy about something. And they begin to articulate those grievances.

In 1994, Clinton signed into law the ban on assault weapons and large-capacity mags (LCM). The law ā€” which grandfathered in an estimated 1.5M assault weapons and 25M LCMs already owned by Americans ā€” was in place for 10 years until @GOP let it lapse.
