    Ahh, but we’ve never really had such top-to-bottom corruption like this. A president who thinks himself a king, and everyone from congresspeople to governors to state secretaries to city officials who want him to stay that way. Sure, Bush might not have suspended elections, or Obama, but I can definitely see Trump trying.

      It’s possible but that’s an uphill battle considering we had elections after Pearl and during Vietnam and Korea.

        Korea and Vietnam were nothing compared to WW2.

        But Trump will lie, just like he’s lied about the “crime wave” in DC. As long as his imbecile followers believe it, it’s a good enough lie. And they’ll believe just about any old bullshit.

          I used them because they were police actions not declared wars which was what we were talking about.
