MAGA boards are lighting up with declarations of civil war, with a NY-based Proud Boys channel calling for feds, Democrats and reporters to be “hung in the streets.”

Solid stuff.

Reading about the Tudor diplomat and statesman Sir John Mason, who served successfully under Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. His motto, he said, was "do and say nothing".
