DMC Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 2 minutes ago, Chataya de Fleury said: Basically, it’s Trump. A “coup” implies military backing, which would be incorrect. A self-coup or auto-coup can have military backing, it usually does. The differentiation between traditional coups is the leadership/existing regime itself assumes authoritarian/dictatorial powers.

Deadlines? What Deadlines?

But that's what I mean by it. Anyway, looks like Rand Paul is not going to be an asshole today. Whether the coup attempt changed his mind or he truly was always going to say this, we'll never know though. Fuck Rand Paul and the horse he rode in on. His father, for all his many, many, faults, was a man of principal. Rand needs to paint a weather vane on his shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's freaking out about him holding his fist up to the crowd before they went from rioters to protestors. I'd be careful about calling that incitement. Didn't see any of his tweets or quotes but I'm not really comfortable calling that picture incitement. ETA: Just imagining how this would be flipped around, on say AOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo alone, probably not, His intent to contest the vote and his rhetoric leading up to it? Yeah, that photo tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very comfortable calling what is what it is, and have been all along. All of them must be denied seating. Anyone familiar with the lead up to secession and the coups of South America recognized what was going on. It is what it is and he all the others have done every bit they could to incite this very day all along, every day. They are on tape, they are on radio, they are on twitter, they are on all media doing it. Thus I AM NOT SURPRISED. Horrified, yes, but not in the least surprised. Not even surprised no steps were taken to secure the Capitol of the US and to protect the members of congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I don't read quite as much into this statement as Kristol does, but interesting that Sec. Miller is willing to (somewhat) throw Trump under the bus by name-checking everyone else that he is contact with to secure the situation: Also, this would seem to imply that the military is now acting independently of the chain of the command. Which is necessary for the moment, but a genie that needs to get put back in the bottle as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Since this was in DC, weren’t all crimes committed federal offenses? If so, $5 says Trump issues a blank pardon to these traitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
