I hope everybody understands how much trouble the coup plotters are in. Their e-mails are confessions, it's like finding fingerprints at a crime scene. You are busted. There are also documents, forged documents, that are devastating evidence. There are all kinds of witnesses who have and will testify in front of a grand jury.
We are witnessing an historic event in our history that is going to completely change our country. Scores of people were involved in the coup and many of them will be indicted. We are talking about Whitehouse staff, countless lawyers, Republican politicians, being indicted.
The Republican Party has become fractured, dysfunctional. Things are going to get a lot worse for the Republican Party and that is going to result in turmoil, chaos. We are about to go through something unprecedented in our history. It is something we must go through in order to cleanse our country.
We are going to have to witness, live through all the trials, the chaos, the violence, turmoil brought about by the attempted over throw of America.
I have always believed Garland would follow the law and do his job. The evidence against Trump is overwhelming and I believe Garland will indict him.
The American people are about to live through something that has never happened before. Many will not be prepared for what is coming. It will shock them. When you you get right down to it, the American people only have themselves to blame for what has happened to our country.

(5,168 posts)This is about stopping a rolling coup for future purpose. This was violent and disruptive to our country. This will not be business as usual.
I tell my children everyday, you are living through historical psychological warfare that culminated in a failed coup, unprecedented history is playing out before us.
We got this, we are in the majority, and we care enough to make this a better country, so we will show the world there are consequences for attacking, aiding, or funding our enemies and that includes those from within.

Truthfully Id make his goons rebuild said gallows and march his criminal fat ass to the rope.

(47,430 posts)the things that grown people put in emails and texts. I expect such naiveté from inexperienced teenagers, but not adults, many who are well educated. "Let's plot a crime in writing that can later be traced back to us. Might as well throw in some pornographic photos while we're at it, cuz no one will ever see them."
How can there be so many truly stupid people in the world?

Reminds me of what my ex used to say about a certain state's claim about its citizen pride that seemed contradictory to lived experiences:
"state's slogan?, hell, they breed 'em like that!"
Not a racial statement, he wasn't racist, it was social comment on a micro-culture that was rather inhospitable to anyone passing through from outside the state.

He wasn't cute, he wasn't smart, he wasn't attractive to us. We've always had a sense of who was worth our time and who wasn't. The r party has attracted people we wouldn't let in our house. From Watergate forward. And if a person chooses to associate with the bad apples, or vet them for elected public office, they too are suspect. The r's have evolved from being the party of working Americans to the personification of inhumanity. I feel like the 2 major parties in U.S. politics have bo
Early after the inception of the r party, immediately after the Civil War, people like Hanna were attracted to and perverted the early vision of the r party, and used whatever means necessary to get their candidates elected. The bad apples never stopped influencing American politics, and by the time people like nixon, stone, and others came around, they had a place ready and waiting for their dirty tricks. How we can even call them dirty tricks, when people have died (nixon's promise of getting us out of Vietnam, reagan's October surprise, traitor's coup), I don't know. if we want to escalate what we call r's, let's call them a murderous, destructive force. We are stalled on fighting climate change, but we need to find a way to change the political climate, so that one party, the r's, doesn't destroy our country.
