Trump’s Plans for a Coup Are Now Public

Trump’s Plans for a Coup Are Now Public 

"Last year, John Eastman, whom CNN describes as an attorney working with Donald Trump’s legal team, wrote a preposterous memo outlining how then–Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the 2020 election by fiat or, failing that, throw the election to the House of Representatives, where Republicans could install Trump in office despite his loss to Joe Biden. The document, which was first reported by the Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in their new book, is a step-by-step plan to overthrow the government of the United States through a preposterous interpretation of legal procedure."

Treason, Sedition, and Insurrection were heavily restricted by SCOTUS after WW2 because during WW1 and post WW2 those were used with extreme crookedness for political ends.

What we know now does meet the criteria for Sedition and/or Insurrection. They're STILL doing it, and they need to rot in jail for Twenty years, which is the maximum legal punishment. Not many of them got twenty years left in them anyway... so it's basically "forever".

The DOJ shouldn't just go after the insurrectionists on the ground, it needs to go after the plotters and schemers. And Manchin, Synema, et al. need to realize that American democracy and the right to vote are vastly more important then a stupidly devolved filibuster rule in the Senate.

What's sad and the worst part. All these so called constitutional loving patriots don't care, it's a hypocritical shit show. They are so deep in MAGA loving dick they don't realize how dangerous this is, even for them in the long run. To think that they support this shit and when the GOP comes for their social security and the little bit of medicare they have is completely insane to think they also won't be victims. The GOP hates their base and cares nothing for them.

But then it's to late, their fascist regime is in place.

It's no longer a question of IF TRUMP DID IT.

This is how cults operate. January 7 to March was denial that it happened. Trump's terrorist attack was "fake news".

Now 21 million people last week admitted that they want Trump to violently overthrow the government.

They are not denying that they want violence. They're saying that it's the only way forward. Trump will forever be their martyr.

Memo proves real Trump coup was underway Jan. 6

"Thanks to the work of the congressional committee investigating Jan. 6 and journalists connected with the Washington Post and other outlets, we now know that an actual coup was underway before and on Jan. 6 when the Capitol came under siege from right-wing mobs. The conspiracy went far deeper than just the thugs and gangs that laid siege to Washington, D.C., that day, however."

"The Eastman memo makes it clear that the biggest security threat the nation faces now is not foreign terrorists, it’s not a fanatic wearing bull horns as he prances around the Capitol, or even the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a significant section of the so-called mainstream of America, including and especially the Republican Party itself."

Fox News, Newsmax, OANN, and others are conditioning people for fascism.

Well, it's obvious the executive branch was all about taking a dump on the constitution. We were fortunate in this case, the other branches of government held. Congress ultimately did their job, and the courts tossed out frivolous election challenges faster than yesterday's burrito exited my colon. It's hard to say what the future will bring, but I'm voting blue until the GOP scrapes this shit off their shoes. Quit pandering to extremists, quit pandering to right wing Christianity, quit pandering to QAnon and other ridiculous conspiracies, quit attacking women, quit attacking the LBGTQ community. How about start with some basic policy positions that we can comprehend and use this to convince Americans you can govern effectively.
