Palin Forecasts Civil War in the USA

Responding to the arrest of former president Donald John Trump in Atlanta, former Alaska governor and twice-defeated candidate for Congress, Sarah Palin, broached the subject of war in a recent interview with a right-wing commentator.

Palin, in her comments following the arrest warned, “those who are conducting this travesty and creating this two-tier system of justice.”

‘I want to ask them: What the heck?”

The former candidate for Vice-President of the United States went further: “Do you want us to be in civil war? Because that’s what’s going to happen. We’re not going to keep putting up with this.”

“We do need to rise up and take our country back.”

For some reason it appears Palin believes the country once belonged to the mentally unstable.

Crank Nation

This is a great country, in no small part because it is the best country ever devised in which to be a public crank. Never has a nation so dedicated itself to the proposition that not only should people hold nutty ideas, but they should cultivate them, treasure them, shine them up, and put them right up there on the mantelpiece. This is still the best country ever in which to peddle complete public lunacy. In fact, it’s the only country to enshrine that right in it’s founding documents.
