I love visiting Arizona, it is a great place to vacation. The Grand Canyon, Painted Desert and Petrified Forest, Canyon De Chelly and soooo much more. What a shame that they have 2 "Republican" Senators that are as much an embarrassment as my 2 Democrat Senators here in The Peoples Republic of New York. Ever get into extreme north Arizona and southern Utah and hike some of the sandstone canyons that drain into Lake "Powell )Foul)"?

I stopped at the Glen Canyon Dam, took some pics of wife on the bike and then hit the road again. At that time, I didn’t know about Antelope Canyon. Next time I’m there I’ll get in there. I did ride from the south rim up to the Vermillion Cliffs, over the Navajo Bridge across Marble Canyon to the north rim. Great ride that I want to do again.

Pull up a topographic map and check out the canyon of the Escalante River and its tributaries draining the eastern flank of the Kaparowits Plateau. To the north, separating the Escalante from Capital Reef National Monument is one of the largest aspen forests I've ever seen. The tributary canyons of the Escalante are spectacular. To the south and west is Zion, the mother of all sandstone. When I lived in Denver, and later in Alaska, I spent my springs hiking these canyons from the north of the Colorado to the Grand Canyon.

[ Snip ] Spectacular, Missouri. We once did a guided tour of the Undara lava tubes in FNQ. Not a patch on that pic.

And all this is before the IG report into the DoJ The phrase that keeps recurring is attempted coup d'etat And at least half of this nation has no idea that this is unfolding, gives a damn, or knows the implications of it. That’s the environment that enables these pricks to think they can accomplish this coup.

What we are seeing in the US is a slow motion coup d'etat. There is no doubt that the progressives which includes 'the swamp' of left wing civil servants and government department senior staff, the press, the broadcast television channels and most cable channels; is all out to derail Trump and what he is doing regardless of the damage to the country. The economy is roaring back in a way that it could have done in 2008 but that does not impress the progressives one iota. So it is apparent that they do not want a resurgent economy, what they wanted and were so close to getting was the complete global take over of the USA. Global treaties TTP, TTIP, COP21 that linked with NAFTA would lead to huge economic slow down, money being drained to other countries and global corporations, sequestration that would have (and almost has) reduced the military to around the size it was pre second world war, but with mainly outdated equipment. The power grid would with progressives in charge by now would have looked like South Australia's. And of course citizenship would be available to anyone that managed to get into the country. George Soros' view of the world in fact, as he had probably shorted the US. It was also of course Maurice Strong's aim and Holdren, the deindustrialization of the US (as we can see happening in Australia).
So yes it is a slow motion coup d'etat but it is also to prevent what the progressives but for Hillary almost had, a destroyed and 'fundamentally changed' US. Sweden happening in every state of the Union.
This seems to be a worldwide battle as the ex-warsaw pact Eastern Europe states have recognized.
Do not think that this is just a never-Trump movement, Trump's success or failure will alter the path of the entire world civilization.
It is like a replay of the revolutionary period of the late 1700's but with far more effective communications and weapons

For those that give any credence to cyclical turnings in human history, the last 4th turning (Great Depression - World War II) wiped out the more challenged elements of the Swamp, temporarily compressing the numerical distribution between rich and poor ... with the distribution shortened at the top and the lower tail fattened and elongated. Into this breach stepped Roosevelt and his progressives with New Deal programs and the remaining banks, together with the brighter elements of the swamp, sucked up the hard assets at fire sale prices. With victory, the middle class expanded to new heights, but the stage was set for what we've seen in the last three decades. How does the next turning play out? I see no linearity in our future. If the swamp and the travelers overplay their hands, the State Guard stands ready to dust off the old flags of rebellion. Or so we hope. We do allow "pink" in the ranks with proper credentials.

Which could explain both the huge growth in sales of guns and ammunition and also the increasing shrieks for gun control and confiscation from the progressives.
