Just one of the norms the GOP was happy to violate. |
Ain't nuthin gonna happen |
And that's the sad state of affairs we live in. An actual coup attempt |
I don’t know about that, but I do know it’s taking an achingly long period of time and it’s just emboldening the traitors. |
+1. Achingly is such an apt term. |
Even more so than Donald Trump, I find the fact that Michael Flynn is walking free somehow even more offensive. Everyone knew what a POS Donald Trump was (everyone whose brain hasn’t been hacked by the right wing brain eating amoeba anyway), but Flynn allegedly served his country for years. |
The black POTUS wouldn’t give him a fourth star so this is the course of action he decided to take. Seriously. Just like Trump, he was driven by personal animus against Obama. “Entitled” doesn’t even begin to describe Mike Flynn. |
You mean it isn't normal for the National Security Advisor to be an agent of a foreign country? |
Top law enforcement Merrick Garland has failed us all .
Democracy will die and ultimately he will go down as the person that pushed it off a cliff. |
Complete malpractice by that guy or something worse, collusion. He should be investigated thoroughly. I don't live in DC but I could tell this "protest" was going to be different. Any moron could tell something was different. My local "Patriots" group was filling buses and they are very enthusiastic gun owners. They color themselves as a community service group and donate money to the schools. They put out a call to action for members to attend school board meetings and members are encouraged to bring the kids. Their leader lives in another county. In the summer of 2020 several of them attended the Citizen's Police Academy run by the sherrif's office. |
+1 There was a reason that there were so many reporters there, and that they were loaded for bear. It’s ridiculous for anyone in LE to say they didn’t know. There were multiple FBI warnings and anyone paying attention to social media knew. |
This is where everything with DoD, DOJ, Capitol Police, FBI, DHS, etc starts getting real worrisome. All the "civilians" knew. All the "normies"knew. The only people seemingly not worried about something going down were the so called leadership of the self professed experts. |
I think the Trump appointees and Trump sympathizers knew perfectly well and went to sleep on this very much on purpose. Read the Washington Post expose. Not a lot is new, but reading it in a long form article really, really drives home the point that they weren’t prepared accidentally on purpose. There are traitors to the US within the government. Manchurian Candidates, so to speak, controlled by right wing extremists. |
