Minnesotans Must Feel so Helpless trying to Peacefully Protest so the Demented PEDO Doesn't call in the Fed Troops or whatever the Hell he has planned for them.

It's so Surreal being so far away and seeing all this go down in our Beloved County by Insane PEDO inside the WH.

How can this be legal? Did the guys who "wrote" our beloved Constitution, not have a plan for this? Isn't this what all the guns are for? Oh, yeah the guys who embraced that amendment and stock piled weapons and ammunition for 50 years are the ones who are trying to take over our democracy and turn it into a bubba-ocracy. Mother help us.
