Trump just declared martial law without saying "martial law." Now the highest ranking military commanders of this country are being forced to decide whether or not they will, in effect, choose to engage in a second civil war.

One source, somewhat in jest, evoked the phrase “coup d’état,” later clarifying they meant a gutting of leaders who might question Trump’s policies.

Most Democratic politicians have it wrong. They say "Give us money, and we'll make changes." But change only creeps along incrementally, if at all. They've got it ass-backward. First make the changes--*be* the sincerest change you can be, and money will follow. In fact, you won't need all the money.
