That is true of all kinds of animals. I seem to remember a story of some guy that went to live with the bears in Alaska....... he became a snack and a scat pile.
Most folks paying attention have seen this coming for a long time, but more are finally seeing the big lie in "nobody's trying to take your guns."
No thugs/gangs/rioters take "get off my lawn" seriously until you shoulder that M-1.

Cal Thomas: McCloskey case shows how Dems could confiscate law-abiding Americans' guns if in power
A case could be made that the McCloskeys' display of weapons prevented violence, which is one of the purposes of the Second Amendment.

Given the "accuracy" of the polls with Hillabeans in 2016, it is very hard to put any faith in them this time. The "hidden" Trump vote is, if anything, larger than last time. A Presidential election is not won on popular votes but in the Electoral College where Hillabeans got skunked. I know, the solution to that is do away with the Electoral College and let States like NY and CA govern the entire country. In the mean time, Creepy Joe can't string a sentence together off the top of his head and half the time can't do it reading a teleprompter. The debates, if Creepy Joe ever comes out of his basement, will be really entertaining.

A lot of people will get in trouble though for mocking someone that is obviously mentally challenged. 
With President Trump having been declared the worst narcissist ever in the presidency, for comparison here are two examples of one that was obviously not a narcissist:
Obama Honors Neil Armstrong With Picture Of Himself
And the official White House photo honoring Rosa Parks:

The Lefitists whose cities are falling apart and in utter despair because of their leftist mindset and policy are still against the law abiding citizen and want to take away our 2nd amendment completely. We still need to stand with Mr. Robinson and fight for our second amendment rights. I guarantee you that these "peaceful protestors" are not just going and looting law abiding citizen houses, because home owner have guns in their house. If we were stripped of our 2nd amendment I guarantee you that they would be looting houses.

Trump - the biggest threat to our democracy. . . and the biggest liar
The U.S. Park Police and Secret Service violently routed protesters from Lafayette Square last month without apparent provocation or adequate warning, immediately after Attorney General William Barr spoke with Park Police leaders, according to an Army National Guard officer who was there.
The account of National Guard Maj. Adam DeMarco challenges the Trump administration’s explanation that vicious attacks by protesters led federal forces to turn on what appeared to be a largely peaceful crowd June 1 in the square in front of the White House. Law enforcement and security officers that night clubbed and punched protesters and unleashed mounted officers and chemical agents against them in one of the most controversial confrontations at the height of this year’s nationwide protests over the killing of Black people at the hands of police.
The forceful clearing of Lafayette Square, long one of the nation’s most prominent venues for demonstrations, came minutes before President Donald Trump appeared in the area without notice, on his way to stage a photo event in front of a historic church nearby.
DeMarco’s account was in prepared testimony for his appearance Tuesday before the House Natural Resources Committee, which is investigating the use of force — and who directed it — against crowds in the square that night. The National Guard officer is expected to invoke the Military Whistleblower Protection Act, which in part says that no one can block a member of the armed forces from lawful communications with Congress.
Committee Chairman Raul Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat, said Monday that from DeMarco’s written testimony, “it’s pretty obvious that at the highest levels the calls were being made,” although the testimony does not give any explicit details of anyone giving orders. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday.
Acting Park Police Chief Gregory T. Monahan defended the law enforcement response in his prepared testimony. Repeating earlier statements, he said that in the days before the forceful clearing of Lafayette Square, protesters had hurled bricks, rocks and other items at officers, injuring at least 50 officers.
Monahan did not address whether protesters in Lafayette Square launched any attacks against law enforcement before the action on June 1.
Videos and the accounts of journalists and protesters who were present that night depict the crowd as largely peaceful before the rout. Democratic lawmakers have challenged the administration to provide evidence of any crowd violence warranting the sudden use of brute force to drive out protesters.
“On the whole, the United States Park Police acted with tremendous restraint in the face of severe violence from a large group of bad actors who caused 50 of my officers to seek medical attention,” Monahan writes. “Our actions as an agency on June 1 centered around public safety and the safety of my officers.
Monahan and the Trump administration also cite plans to build a fence to block protesters from the square as another factor leading authorities to clear the area.
The administration has previously denied that law enforcement and security forces cleared the square to make way for Trump’s appearance before news cameras. Trump thrust a Bible in the air in front of St. John’s Church in a show of authority against protesters, blamed for starting a small fire in a basement at the church on a previous day.
DeMarco says the rout started shortly after Barr and Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appeared in the square, where Barr appeared to confer with Park Police leaders, he says.
“From what I could observe, the demonstrators were behaving peacefully,” when Park Police, the Secret Service and other, unidentified forces turned on the crowd, DeMarco wrote in his testimony. The legally required warnings to demonstrators before clearing the square shortly after were “barely audible” from his position 20 yards (18 meters) away, DeMarco said. Protesters were gathered still farther away, and gave no sign of hearing the warnings, he said.
Park Police and other officers then began suddenly routing the crowd without warning to National Guard forces present, DeMarco said.
Full Coverage: Racial injustice
A Park Police liaison officer told DeMarco that his forces were only using “stage smoke,” not tear gas, against the crowd. DeMarco said the stinging to his nose and eyes appeared to be tear gas, however, and said he found spent tear gas canisters in the street later that evening.
The Park Police, a force of a few hundred officers nationwide, oversees a handful of the nation’s most iconic federal lands and monuments.
Grijalva said lawmakers had also asked for recordings of the law enforcement and security forces’ radio traffic that night. They were told by the administration that a “technological glitch” prevented the recordings, he said.
DeMarco says he was the appointed liaison at the event for the Interior Department’s Park Police and the National Guard and was standing near a statue of Andrew Jackson, as Barr and other senior officials involved congregated.
DeMarco describes a quick conversation with Milley, the Pentagon’s top general, at the time in the square that DeMarco says gave no warning of the imminent push by the Park Police, the Secret Service and others against demonstrators.
“As the senior National Guard officer on the scene at the time, I gave General Milley a quick briefing on our mission and the current situation,” DeMarco writes. “General Milley told me to ensure that National Guard personnel remained calm, adding that we were there to respect the demonstrators’ First Amendment rights.”
Shortly after Park Police and others forced out fleeing protesters, Milley walked in military fatigues alongside Trump as the Republican president strolled to nearby St. John’s Church.
Milley subsequently apologized for taking part, after heavy public criticism. Milley said he “should not have been there” and his involvement “created the perception of the military involved in domestic politics.”
DeMarco previously served in the U.S. Army, including a combat assignment in Iraq.

What is your thought about Adam Schiff? Has he lied at all?
If you like your doctor you will be able to keep your doctor, period
If you like your health care plan you can keep your health care plan, period ("promise to the American people")
We'll lower premiums up to $2,500 for a typical family for a year (a "solemn pledge" and "moral commitment")
Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase (the law contains 18 tax hikes, fees, and penalties)
You can't win anything trying to say Trump is the biggest liar. Both parties have a deep pit of lies in their history, but the Dem's pit is a lot deeper.
