A relatively large number of Democrats are working to ensure that Republicans win control of Congress in November.Question: Why in the world are Republicans expected to win control of Congress in November? Sheer ignorance? Americans vote against their interests? Party first, their own interests second?
CNBC reports, "The Jan. 6 select committee’s eighth public hearing Thursday will go inside the White House to detail then-President Donald Trump’s hourslong refusal to call for an end to the Capitol riot.That becomes an interesting question when one realizes that our capitol was under attack, the lives of the members of Congress were being threatened, and the Commander-in-Chief did nothing for over three hours.
WOW! DOUBLE WOW!The [Republican] Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirmed its support for the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election with the goal of putting Donald Trump in the Oval Office.
Putin could not be more proud of his protégé. A Russian agent provocateur could not have done a better job, and millions of Americans support the former President.
Stopped reading right there. It wasn't a coup attempt, no matter how much politically you want it to be.Stephen Collinson writes, "It’s not just about the 2020 election anymore. [Someone tell Trump.]
"The unhealed wound in American politics first opened by Donald Trump – a President who mounted a coup attempt
after he was rejected by voters – is already tainting the 2022 and 2024 elections.
"A rush of fresh evidence and the House January 6 committee’s expanding ambition to hold the ex-President to account over the Capitol Insurrection mean its probe, and new hearings in September, will crash headlong into midterm election season.
"Trump all but declared a 2024 campaign this weekend, firing up a rally in Arizona with a new torrent of lies about his defeat to President Joe Biden and setting the tone for another democracy-rattling White House bid that he could officially launch at any moment.
"Trump’s determination to run a 2024 campaign of vengeance rooted in his mountain of misinformation means it could be 2026, at least, before Americans experience a campaign that is not shaped by his inability to accept his legitimate loss nearly two years ago.
"It is no coincidence, therefore, that leading members of the January 6 committee are becoming increasingly adamant about the need for Trump to pay a price now for his misdeeds after the 2020 campaign – before it is too late.
"The panel has not yet decided whether to recommend a criminal investigation of the former President, but committee members on Sunday heaped indirect pressure on the Justice Department to mount a formal prosecution of the ex-President, days after exposing his dereliction of duty as his mob ransacked the Capitol in January 2021."
Of course, Trump Republicans will maintain their silence on this issue. They don't care that their man attempted to overthrow the U.S. government. These people chose our President in 2016 with Vladimir Putin's blessing, and they are expected to gain control of Congress in November.
That says it all right there. Then the poster says there was no coup attempt.Stopped reading right there.
My suggestion to you is to become familiar with the actual definition of constitutes a coup.That says it all right there. Then the poster says there was no coup attempt.
Given incongruities and inconsistencies between what a political coup d'etat actually is and what actually happened on 1/6, pushing that what happened on 1/6 as a coup d'etat amounts to exactly what you accuse other of.Trump Republicans rely on ignorance and lying.
It was a coup attempt to overthrow the elected government, and it was led by Trump beginning on Nov. 4, 2020. It was violent and people died.My suggestion to you is to become familiar with the actual definition of constitutes a coup.
Here, let me help you.
Not according to the District Attorney. The participants have been charged with interfering with an official proceeding, which is dead accurate. There was no coupIt was a coup attempt to overthrow the elected government, and it was led by Trump beginning on Nov. 4, 2020.
There was a lot more violence and many more deaths during the BLM insurrection. Just sayin'.It was violent and people died.
That says it all. He's not the one denying reality.Sorry, I am not going to waste my time arguing with you. If you choose to deny reality, that is your business.
The only reality being denies here is it wasn't a coup, which also why you didn't respond to the point raised, definition and all that factual stuff. Sorry they get in the way of your political narrative pushing.It was a coup attempt to overthrow the elected government, and it was led by Trump beginning on Nov. 4, 2020.

Garland continues to dance around the issue. Is Trump the subject of a DOJ investigation? He hasn't said.Garland never said the DOJ was investigating the former President!

Seriously, are you really that stupid?Not according to the District Attorney. The participants have been charged with interfering with an official proceeding, which is dead accurate. There was no coup
You two want me to waste my time explaining it all. I am not going to do that.The only reality being denies here is it wasn't a coup, which also why you didn't respond to the point raised, definition and all that factual stuff. Sorry they get in the way of your political narrative pushing.
Volume doesn't equate to being neither accurate nor correct.Review the last 20 pages of my reports. They will address the [foolish] issues you both have raised at this juncture.

coup d'état
noun\ ˌkü-(ˌ)dā-ˈtä , ˈkü-(ˌ)dā-ˌtä, -də- \variants: or coup d'etatplural coups d'état or coups d'etat\ ˌkü-(ˌ)dā-ˈtä , ˈkü-(ˌ)dā-ˌtä , -də- \ also coup d'états or coup d'etats
Definition of coup d'état: a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics especially : the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group, a military coup d'état of the dictatorDefinition of COUP D'ÉTAT
a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics; especially : the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group… See the full definitionwww.merriam-webster.com
Which part or parts of what happened on 1/6 support your claim that it was a coup d'etat? Was there a 'violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group, a military'?
If so, which parts of the US military were participating / supporting this supposed coup d'etat?
What part of what happened on 1/6 supports the claim of 'violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government'? Heck, the Capitol building was vacated mere hours later, so no 'violent overthrow of an existing government'.
That what we all saw on 1/6 wasn't coup, or more properly a coup d'etat, so calling what happened a coup d'etat is little more than pushing fact-less political narrative and gaslighting for political advantage, pushing the typical leftist lying hyperbolic political narrative.
Given incongruities and inconsistencies between what a political coup d'etat actually is and what actually happened on 1/6, pushing that what happened on 1/6 as a coup d'etat amounts to exactly what you accuse other of.
Demonstrating, yet once again, that 'That which the left accuses other of is exactly what they themselves are guilty of', so often demonstrated to have become a truism.
Or is this, once again, the typical claim from the left of 'Don't believe your lying eyes, it's what we say it is!'?
Why would I spend time on a one sided politically motivated political circus and political Kabuki theater?It is self-evident neither one of you have been following the televised hearings.
You are speaking from the manipulation of the politically motivated political circus and political Kabuki theater with, I suspect, a predisposition wanting to be so to confirm you own confirmation bias.You both are speaking from ignorance.
