It’s just a bunch of people with zero authority to do it, suggesting it be done. This is nothing.

This is nothing.

It’s nothing until it actually happens. Our system relies heavily on honor and tradition. It won’t stand up to someone who has no honor and no respect for tradition.

Yep, spot on. OTOH, nothing wrong with keeping our ears to the ground for such plans as these.

Except Trump is strategizing with them. Maybe he's just humoring them. Maybe not. As things stand, I'm more willing to accept that he's an active participant and will use their plans than not. The man has more than once stated he intends to make those who opposed him or turned on him pay dearly.
