    a wise friend says that behind the scenes, the regulars in the military would have stayed in stand down position, throughout a coup, if not for the leadership of the Generals.  scary thought. Giuliani & Trump Junior should be  prosecuted for fomenting a riot, if not for treason.

    Trump, back to March 2019 " "I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad," Trump said. "Law enforcement, military, construction workers, Bikers for Trump ... They travel all over the country .... They’ve been great," Trump said at the time. "But these are tough people ... But they’re peaceful people, and antifa and all — they’d better hope they stay that way."

    Trump suggests that it could get 'very bad' if military, police, biker supporters play 'tough' | TheHill

    Time to put America first for Mr Pence .. he witnessed at very first hand what happened having to be taken to safety by his security detail .. and now he has some soul searching to do .. it is unconscionable that D T can remain in office after the storming of Congress as a direct result of the incitement and goading of his supporters to do such a thing .. the responsibility on Pence now rises way above any loyalty to D T or the Republican Party and as unpalatable as it may be to M P ridding the country and America of D T's president'cy has to be done and by him ..

    12 days and the man is gone.  Not enough time to even start a trial.  Move on nothing to see here.  Sedition charges maybe for instigating the overthrow by his tweets or statements, again so many cases against the man.  If he was in Thailand he would flee to Dubai and be like the others, out of reach but not of touch with his base.

     

    and what about the mobs Trump has empowered?

    and pro-Trump supporters have been told to "leave guns at home"

    "Trump summoned supporters to this week's gatherings, saying on Twitter on Sunday "I will be there" and on Friday that "it will be wild"."

    In the 1997 general election, UKIP fielded 194 candidates and secured 0.3% of the national vote; only one of its candidates, Nigel Farage in Salisbury, secured over 5% of the vote and had his deposit returned

    The UK applied to join the EEC only on economic expectations at a time where its economy needed it . Already then, the negotiations to join took years, and years, Maybe when the UK finally joined, the Union was different than when the negotiations started. The UK has continuously pushed for a larger Single Market, open to Eastern European countries.. The British government has historically been open to Turkey joining the EU.

    Which wasn't in UKIP's vIews.

    It's not even in any EU members views actually. 

    Macron created his party from scratch and won the presidency a year later or so; so it's not the problem.

    The thing is, there is no plausible promise that will bring people to vote for a Frexit party led by the politicians we actually have.
