Trump warns of ‘civil war’ in US if Democrats impeached him
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
is warning that the Democrat-driven impeachment proceedings and any move to oust him from office amount to "treason" and would spark a civil war, prompting outrage from a Republican congressman.

Trump tweeted a conservative pastor’s comment that removing him would provoke a "civil war-like fracture" in America.

US Representative Adam Kinzinger, a former Air Force pilot who represents an Illinois district Trump won in 2016, tweeted on Sunday, "I have visited nations ravaged by civil war. ... I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant."

Trump on Monday was thundering through a new round of counter-punches against his opponents by hammering home the suggestion that they should be arrested and charged with treason and could launch a civil war ‐ or a combination of those.

#2 The current protestations in Hong Kong quickly come to mind. American flags on display there as well.

#3 We have been in a civil war for a while. The Dims have turned states against states.

#5 He redirects attacks on them. They are so busy in confounded confusion they will get nothing done. Media is dying as well as support for Democrats. These people are not problem solvers. These people only create more problems. The resolute will stay the course.

#6 Grom, pretty sure that's the same (very small, hilariously useless-looking) bunch of kids trotted out (by themselves?) as the "fearsome armed wing of antifa" a couple of years ago. Might even be an old picture. Shlock troops, if that.

#10 I think the left expects the gangbangers in the blue cities to carry the war for them. I think they'll find the gangbangers are more intersted in food and don't have the gasoline to carry any kind of conflict out of their own metro areas.

#11 ...they don't want their 'product' line disrupted either. Civil war is bad for them. Checks don't arrive in the mail. No one can buy their stuff.
