Why hasn't some group of people launched a coup against Trump

and his administration? I’m serious. When does it become obvious that Trump is literally killing people out of neglect, indifference and disinterest?

How many of the largest cities, the major financial centers of the world have to come to a complete stop before someone says enough? The Trump administration needs to be thrown out and drastic emergency actions need to be implemented immediately!

He can’t even pretend to care! Why is anyone else pretending he cares when he just drags his feet and lies cavalierly without an ounce of interest on his part? He’s falling asleep with the boredom of attending meetings about this Pandemic!

I just don’t get it.

Edited to say that I should not have used the word coup. But my sentiment is still the same. Why hasn’t he been removed?

1. question for the ages

or at least a very damn good question?????

[AJT]

2. Cuz this is America.....we have proper channels and elections.

If we start down that road we will become another unstable banana republic. We have to get them out legally and try to repair our institutions and reputation.

[lunatica]

5. We have a Constitutional mandate to remove him!

High crimes and misdemeanors! Does withholding medical equipment Presidential directives ring a bell? He talks about a war footing but does nothing to order companies and businesses to convert to war mode in order to accelerate the manufacturing of supplies. He just tells the states to deal with it with a wave of his hand.

There are ways that this country have already moved in the past to do this. But it takes a fucking Presidential directive!

[AJT]

9. That would not be a coup.

[lunatica]

11. Well if you don't get the gist of what I'm saying

Then you don’t.

[cry baby]

4. AMA? nt

[lunatica]

8. Well he's about as close to mental illness as anyone I know.

Put him in a hospital and have a team of appointed psychiatrists examine him. Ignore his personal doctor. He’s useless.

[cry baby]

37. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a "Dave"?

Not wishing the same fate on trump, but just a temporary absence til November.

[lunatica]

40. Hell, even a Dave robot!

[cry baby]

42. Anything....anyone! nt

[Thomas Hurt]

6. Because it would be assinine and immoral to do so...

and doing so would make whoever did it no better than that amoral pig Trump

[lunatica]

10. Please look at post #5

We have a Constitutional mandate.

[Thomas Hurt]

16. There is no constitutional mandate to carry out a violent coup to remove the President...

are you are conservative troll here to stir up sh*t?

[lunatica]

19. Actually I've been here much longer than you.

And obviously you don’t know me at all.

I’m using the word because I feel extremely frustrated. I can’t just sit back and ho hum over people dying needlessly. Perhaps for others it isn’t a big deal.

[Thomas Hurt]

20. carrying out a coup will not change the outcome of the outbreak we are going through.

while we are installing a sane administration there is entirely too much room for mis steps and making it worse.

We get out the vote, we get rid of the son of b*tch the proper way. Then he might....maybe get charged with something and might get convicted...but I wouldn't hold my breath.

[lunatica]

21. I know of a dozen people who could step right in

and start getting things done on day one.

Confusion would actually diminish considerably very quickly. Look at Governors who are already ten leagues ahead of Trump right now.

It would save us months of flat footed criminal negligence!

[Amishman]

30. The word has a specific meaning

And not one we want to entertain. If this would ever come to violence, it would not turn out well.

[lunatica]

39. Thanks

I know what it means, and I really didn’t mean that specific kind of action per se. I’m getting carried away by my feelings of immense frustration.

I wish a group of psychiatrists could examine him. But that isn’t going to happen, I know.

[Srkdqltr]

7. Lunatica. I think you should. Go for.

[lunatica]

12. Go. For. What?

[Celerity]

15. just a guess

[lunatica]

18. I seem to be totally out of touch about this

Is this not some movie about a killer clown? I have no idea what the connection is. Help!

[Celerity]

24. ...

IT

[lunatica]

27. Thanks.

I thought of that, but it still didn’t make sense that way either.

The attempt by the poster at wittiness wasn’t very successful.

[zackymilly]

32. Poster thinks you should head up he coup. n/t

[Celerity]

33. maybe they just forgot the 'it'

[steve2470]

13. if his Republican enablers feel enough pain, they will cook up a good reason to impeach him or....

just force him to resign.

They aren't in enough pain. Yet. Just wait til their parents, grandparents and beloved friends start dying of COVID-9. They all privately know Trump is very complicit in their impending death.

Their = either their constituents or the Republicans in Congress.

[Caliman73]

14. We don't do coups here. Otherwise Democracy is OFFICIALLY dead.

Republicans talked about a coup during FDR's administration. They tried to recruit Smedley Butler to participate in it, but he refused because as much as we might hate a president. We do not forcibly remove them.

We need to use that energy to mobilize voters in November.

[lunatica]

17. I used the word coup in my frustration

But we do have a Constitutional mandate. If Trump isn’t committing high crimes and misdemeanors then I don’t know what a crime is. BECAUSE of his lazy ass indifference people are dying. And they will continue to die. He could order wartime manufacturing of respirators, face masks, hospital tents, and anything needed.

[Caliman73]

22. Agreed. We tried that already.

Without GOP support, in both constitutionally available remedies, he will not be removed.

Impeachment requires the Senate to vote in approval.

The 25th amendment requires the Cabinet to vote him out.

You are absolutely correct that he should not be in office. He defiles the Constitution and threatens the safety of the nation but our paths toward removal are not viable at this time.

[Turin_C3PO]

23. He definitely should be impeached again.

Let him be the only president impeached twice.

[lunatica]

25. I wish a battery of psychiatrists would examine him.

Another impossible wish, I know.

[jberryhill]

29. Where does the Constitution empower a group of psychiatrists to remove the president?

Can you please identify that part of the Constitution?

As far as “high crimes and misdemeanors” goes, that is the standard for impeachment. Impeachment requires the Senate to convict him.

Now, welcome back from the coma you’ve been in for a while, but the Senate actually has a chance to do that recently and voted not to.

[lunatica]

36. LOL!

Anyone can find out how superior you are by just asking you.

[jberryhill]

45. Well, gosh, I missed the "coup" part of civics

[lunatica]

46. You can have the last word.

Whatever. It’s much more important to you.

[Pillow talk]

43. lol. the coup is already completed. and yeah. Democracy is dead. plute is alive and well

[Funtatlaguy]

26. Coup? Hell, half the country thinks he's God.

[lunatica]

31. Just in what I know of human nature

some of that half ought to be waking up about now.

[zackymilly]

38. He's also a virologist. n/t

[Funtatlaguy]

48. Oh yes. His Uncle was a scientist which makes him?

A moronic pathological lying pile of shit whose Uncle was a scientist.

[guillaumeb]

28. With the 25th Amendment, there is no need.

All that is lacking are GOP politicians with integrity.

[dchill]

34. Because they actually LIKE what he's doing.

[Pachamama]

35. Did you see Pence behind Trump while he went off on Peter Alexander? Totally ok with it and even

....at one point at the end had a smirk of glee on his face that you can tell he was trying to hold back...

That is why....because he has scary ass creeps like Pence who are actually Ok and in agreement with Trump all around him...

[lunatica]

44. I'll have to see it again to catch that

Because heaven forbid that I should miss something besides a stone mask on Pence’s mug! This is a first!

[Pachamama]

47. Oh it was a stone face for sure - but he had this time a twinkle in his eye and that smirk at end

He was working hard to keep the stone face...but its there....pay attention and you will see it right at the end

[lpbk2713]

41. Coup coup kajoob.

He is the Egg Man.
