We will be damn lucky to get through these next two and a half years without a major terrorist attack. These people (Trump Administration) aren't serious about their jobs. They see their jobs as roles to play in a political soap opera.

of focusing on liberals instead of real terrorists. It would give the Trump regime an excuse to declare a national emergency and martial law. Next step after that could be to maintain martial law and officially establish Trump as dictator for "national security."
