When you have a sitting US Congressman speaking about an impending armed revolution to a group of his constituants in a public meeting, expect problems.

Yes boys and girls, this happened just a touch over a month ago...

Revolution is messy, scary, and hard.

Speaking only for myself, I'd most likely head for the border.

Word. I'd cash in the 403B and GTFO, head for somewhere south, and wait for things to settle down. I would stay and fight, but the Nation is so polarized right now with the media fanning the flames. So I do not expect that a revolution would be very constructive, just mob rule following a bunch of megalomaniacs feeding populist politics to the dumbasses. A fight to the death, with little hope of constructive negotiation or compromise, just lots of bloodshed, until one side is beat. The Civil War all over again.

At least most Americans would be strongly motivated to lose weight and get in shape. Get off the sofa or die mother fucker! Taco Bell is closed for the revolution.

OK time for another beer. Please continue.
