It is getting too weird .... 1st a coup and now Trump is making up stories about Flag Burning ...

[Botany]

... and the media repeats his horse shit as if it is the truth and not some crap that Trump is making up to change
the subject and that subject should be that a crazy con man with help from the Russians, the republican party, and the
media has stolen the election.

For God's sake Flag Burning was never a real problem and it is still not now a problem.

And BTW the Democratic Leadership, the D o J, and the POTUS have been the limp groom on the
wedding night as per protecting America from the very real threat that is Trump. This was a coup, people.

1. When Trump got elected, I cut my American flag up into little strips and am using it to

wipe my ass. That's what it's worth now.

2. I bet the next strawman is the War on Christmas.

I can just see Trump bellowing, "Merry F*****g Christmas"!

That'll teach us.

5. Ah. An oldie but a goodie!

3. Not quite sure...do you know what a "coup" is?

We lost but not by a violent overthrow or illegal seizure.
I take this stuff seriously...the claim of treason for instance....Republicans throwing that crap....not better for us to do so

7. I was wondering the same thing.

[Botany]

10. " .... do you know what a "coup" is?"

I sure do. I can't put my fingers on everything but I am pretty sure of some of this
coup's working parts.

1) Crosscheck voting programs

2) Some vote flipping and or deleting

3) Comey and the FBI

4) Unnending and unneeded congressional investigations into nothing in order
to hurt HRC

5) Russia and China

6) False news stories that were planted in order "to stir uo" certian factions

7) White racist hate for Obama and HRC

11. Again....I refer you to the definition of a coup....

It has a very specific definition....you site some odd behaviors but NOTHING that meets the definition of a "coup".....just doesn't....a violent overthrow or illegal seizure..... not what happened. We lost the swing states.
We better do better in '20.

12. this was a coup w/both internal and external components

a coup = a sudden and decisive action in politics, especially one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force.

[Nancyswidower]

13. "....especially one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force. "

See.... those things didn't happen.. we lost the vote tally in states Pres. Obama won...and because we lost those the EC total went peacefully for the Muskrat Haired moron.....there was no coup....there absolutely was a Fuster Cluck of an outcome that will suck for at least 4 yrs....but no coup..sorry.

14. Pedantic correction:

In many ways, we're probably fucked for generations, not just four years.

15. Stopping the outcome of the election from reflecting the registered voter's will .....

... and there by changing the structure of the government by an illegal purge of registered voters
that strips the voters of their Constitutionally protected right to vote and have their
vote counted seems pretty illegal to me.

Before a single vote was cast, the election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives.

Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP–controlled states.

The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report,
“The GOP’s Stealth War on Voters,” 8/24/2016.

Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922

Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824

Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393

On Tuesday, we saw Crosscheck elect a Republican Senate and as President, Donald Trump. The electoral putsch was aided by nine other methods of attacking the right to vote of Black, Latino and Asian-American voters, methods detailed in my book and film, including “Caging,” “purging,” blocking legitimate registrations, and wrongly shunting millions to “provisional” ballots that will never be counted.

4. I think Trump and the corporate media are the same side of the coin.

Independent media is all we have to counter the massive power of the moneyed interests.

8. Trump had a computer server linked to Putin in his HQ but we never .....

..... heard of it but we heard non stop crap about HRC's emails and her server.

6. And isn't it fucking SHOCKING that it isn't' being repeated on the news every 5 minutes?

Seriously--This "should" wake these assholes up, but the business with Medicare just might do it, but I'm not holding my breath.

9. Apparently it has to do with Hampshire College...

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/28/us/hampshire-college-flag-veterans-protest.html

"A group of military veterans protested at a private Massachusetts college over the weekend, objecting to a decision by the college to allow the American flag to be removed from its main flagpole, and adding their voices to a debate on a campus that has seen the flag lowered, removed and even burned since the election."

16. Not a coup. That may be yet coming, for real.
