Profiles in courage if you could only go back in time.In attempted coup political fallout:
I doubt she'd flop D but rather go independent. She'd be fine politically doing so. Also if Ds are the power center for the next 2-4 years she can get more for her constituents this way.
Profiles in courage if you could only go back in time.
If only there was some way she could have exercised her powers of office to do literally anything to obstruct him.Profiles in courage if you could only go back in time.
'She' who?
Looking like this is heating up. Top Civilian leadership at the Pentagon has been thrown out and replaced with Trump sycophants. Top Republicans refuse to call Biden President-Elect. Biden's team is not being given access to traditional transition protocols. White House staffers are being warned if they are caught looking for another job they will be fired. White House is still vetting appointees as if business is usual and putting together the next budget. Georgia's GOP congressional delegation is writing letters to Georgia's Secretary of State to basically invalidate the election. And more. Anybody want to take bets?
If they do go through with a coup what will the actual military leadership do?
Fuck yo’feelz

Now the serious part. You can’t rational discussions with these folks. See Speedy & LK. Totally impossible. The are bad winners and sore losers.
Debate, standards, norms and compromise is impossible.
I think the bullies need to be bullied. They will respond to that, sort of how the bully responds when he gets punched in the face. The punch to his face resets the relationship.
Please be specific. Link or at least explain the "new info."Just wanted to bump this thread given the new info we got this week. Anyone want to change their opinion that there wasn't a coup attempt?

Yes, I’m not even sure if he would recognize or understand the idea that people can or should do things for reasons other than their own self interest. I genuinely think when he sees people doing that he assumes they are lying about their motivations like he is. His brain is just that broken.What's 'amusing' is that Trump's coup attempt was, as with virtually everything he does, more a product of his combination of mental illness and ignorance than any kind of elaborate, sinister plot.
You can practically imagine his thought process. He believes he always wins everything, therefore he can't have lost the election; there's a formalization process for the election at the Capitol, so maybe he can 'fix' it by sending people over to make Congress change its mind. I don't think he even grasps the concept that the ends don't always justify the means... in his mind, anyone who wants to further his goals is always good, no matter how they want to go about doing it.
I'm thinking that, more than anything, will define Trump's long-term legacy — the US voted for its first truly sociopathic President, and suffered the consequences even after he left office.
From the article,I’m just curious how the Trump apologists can continue to spin this. I know they will, because they have to, but curious how they think they can make a convincing argument for anyone other than themselves.
