Political Discussion
Because that's how long court cass take. |
Did you read it? |
Those aren’t legit legal cases. They are just dipshit state legislators proposing idiotic legislation that even Republican leaders won’t act on. |
Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing Republicans act on. What makes you think it’s beyond them? |
Dear Democrat, did you not watch what happened on Jan 6? Fine if you want to think Trump didn’t cause it (he did). But it’s an absolute fact that he did NOTHING to stop it. No tweet, no announcement, no nothing. I dont know what else you need to hear that will convince you that without Trump and his repetition of “Election stolen”, “come to DC, it will be wild” or “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by” the Riot/protest/insurrection/police slipping in blood/law makers running for their lives, etc. would not have happened. |
None of those things are an insurrection against the United States...you know, the thing in the Constitution that disqualifies someone from office. |
This "working class people" had sophisticated equipment and spent a lot of time on Parler and Signal coordinating a coup. You think they shouldn't be held accountable for their crimes, yet people like you shouted "lock her up" at conjured crimes from the lady.
Cry me a river. |
Exactly. There is no self-reflection for cultists. |
Then law enforcement asks, who coerced them, and the answer by their own testimony was Donald Trump...hence the "engaged in an insurrection" determination from the Colorado court system. |
They know they will fail and lose. Imaginary grievances don’t translate to legitimate legislation or legal cases. |
Coup? Lol. Worst coup EVER. SCA events are often more dangerous. |
Just because it was stupid and dysfunctional doesn’t mean it wasn’t a coup/insurrection attempt. They occupied the Capitol to try to stop the formal certification by Congress that Trump lost. Trump, as usual, greatly overestimated his support and believed that the military and law enforcement would help his coup attempt. |

1) question integrity of the election 2) induce slates of "fake" or alternative electors from disputed states 3) induce masses to attack the capitol and disrupt the certification 4) have the GOP in the House and Senate throw certification of disputed states back to those states 5) Have disputed GOP state houses vote for the GOP fake electors 6) have the house and senate affirm the certification of the election based on the fake electors 7) Trump takes office legally but on false pretense. This as all conceivable to happen except: 1) Pence grew a spine 2) a few MPD and Capitol Police were able to thwart the worst of the violence at the Capitol 3) Michigan certified for Biden (see thread about Michigan electors) |
“We’re too stupid and incompetent to pull off a coup” is not a great argument. |
