It doesn't, which is why I don't think we should have to stretch the meaning of these words beyond their actual meaning to convince ourselves and others of the awfulness of what Trump is doing.
We don't have to stretch them beyond their actual meaning because what we saw yesterday was their actual meaning.
[Business Insider]Some among America's military allies believe Trump deliberately attempted a coup and may have had help from federal law enforcement officials
You've lost all credibility dude. You're complicit with all these traitors. You lack the basic awareness to feel shame over your behavior but nobody's going to forget. I guarantee you that.
When you lose your hand picked paramilitary bureaucrat who puts kids in cages wearing Oakleys named Chad....you're doing your coup wrong.
Anyone that believes this is a ****ing idiot. There is no way that a bunch of neck beards with no mother****ing weapons could take over the Capital building without people being complicit. Trump literally told them to go to the Capital and then they did and law enforcement literally takes selfies with the insurrectionists. It is not possible. It was planned and Trump and others were in on it. Watch Lindsay Graham say that he’s out while all out of breath. He chickened out and is scared shitless.
This is exactly what needs to happen to the names on this list. They have attacked democracy and have no place in our government.
He did get the "rampant election bullshit" part correct. That's exactly what Trump has been doing - spreading "rampant election bullshit". Glad @dachuda86 agrees.
Holy ****ing ****, they are saying that Trump tried to convince Pence to participate with the coup and Pence declined. He had his wife and daughter at the Capital with him and Trump/WH never once checked in on them.
A coup is violent attempt to seize government power. They did that. It was violent they seized the power from congress. They did it in effort to prevent legal process of power transfer. It was short-lived. But it is accurate to call it an attempted coup.
Regretting your move out of the US of A yet? Yeah, I didn't think so. You're the smartest mf'er on this board.
Nope, I do not. You could see that there was something seriously wrong. You could see that COVID was going to do what it has done and it was obvious that the Trump experiment would never end peacefully. I’m not shocked that all of this is happening but it is shocking that it is finally happening.
i know he's probably going to keep his seat because TX is TX, but cruz is the kind of guy both the right and left should be sick of. "we must have have a peaceful and orderly transition...but also many Americans believe the election was stolen because we keep telling them it was stolen, so we must fight to ensure it isn't stolen!"
