Nanny P will say anything. None of it is, or will be true.

Except for maybe her stock investment picks.

Trump staged a coup. How is it not true?

US Congress is a criminal enterprise too regarding trading with non-public information, I will give you that.

No, he didn't. It wasn't a coup.

Was it not a coup because it failed?

'do the right thing mike pence'. some coup. yawn.

A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/ (listen); French for 'stroke of state'[1]), or simply a coup, is an illegal and overt attempt by the military or other government elites to unseat the incumbent leader.

It was a coup, just not a successful. I also doubt that it could have been successful, because the old people voting for Trump would get slaughtered if it came to a civil war and the amount of people willing and able to meaningfully fight is way too low.

Perhaps I have too much confidence in the robustness of the American democracy, but I think the military wouldn't even want to run the country and as such they would just organize elections. It's not like the US is some piece of shit country that is easy to run without turning into Haiti. If there is a coup, all the investment dollars leave, the US dollar stops being a reserve currency, and in general the country would go to shit. Nobody with a brain would want their retirement fund to go to zero.

Senile politicians like Trump and Biden should just be put in a nursing home and there should be a maximum age of 53 for being in any position of power. People 30 cognitively decline, so why would you want to take too much risk to run the most important entity there is?

It wasn't a coup because it wasn't a coup, attempted or otherwise.

[–]Clownfall 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

A serious coup would be seriously armed. In the footage, none of the rioters are seen with firearms.

It was a bad event, and Trump deserves some share of the blame. But no more than Democrats deserve a share of the blame for the 2 billion dollars of BLM-Antifa riot damage and couple of dozen related deaths.

Meanwhile, Democrats are openly supporting Antifa as the domestic terrorist wing of their party, and allowing them to get away with jury intimidation amongst other things.

Trump tried to get the mags removed, to let the people with the rifles in.

Didn't work, but attempting a coup is also illegal.

coup

"a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government"

Since they didn't seize power, it wasn't a coup- it was an attempted coup.

And with Lines like:

"...you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing..."

and

"...we will soon be marching over to the Capitol building..."

and

"And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."

and

"So we're going to, we're going to walk down... to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give... our Republicans... the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country."

, I think it's pretty clear he incited them to do it.

"Take back the country", "Show strength", "March", "fight", "going to the capitol...to take back our country". Yeah, sure, somewhere in his rambling speech he mentioned the word "peacefully". But he mentioned 'strength' and 'fighting' a lot more.

He lost the election. He made a speech to a crowd than then went the capitol and committed acts of violence. Armed intruders roaming the halls, looking for democrats to... what? "peacefully" talk to? No. It was Sudden. It was Violent. And it was Unlawful. It just didn't work, thank god.

Except that it was fully infiltrated by the security state. They were there every step of the way.

Trump was allowed to delusionally agitate the crowds into a riot.

That's about it. Shitlibs try to drum up a scenario that doesn't exist. Just like they did with the bullshit russiagate scam.

Shitlibs embarrass themselves with these pathetic lies. Fucking losers. They play these dumbass games because they can't produce candidates that can beat losers like Trump. What a joke.

[–]FredKlein 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Trump was allowed to delusionally agitate the crowds into a riot.

So you admit he did so. Yet you claim it's "a scenario that doesn't exist". Which is it?

You talk about "pathetic lies". I watched the news. I saw what happened Jan 6th. It was an attempted coup.

[–]shatabee5 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

I too was watching it live and was laughing. It was such a joke.

And then there were dozens of FBI agents, identified by very visible FBI armbands, in the basement in full combat gear in case things got out of hand. This was proof that they were very much informed about and involved in the fake coup. And, of course, this important video clip was never to be seen again.

The 'Halls of Liberty' and 'Seats of Democracy' were never in any kind of danger.

The fact that it was 'such a joke' doesn't stop it from being illegal.

This was proof that they were very much informed about and involved in the fake coup.

Assuming you are correct about them having extra forces on standby... doesn't mean the coup attempt was "fake".

The 'Halls of Liberty' and 'Seats of Democracy' were never in any kind of danger.

Except for the stolen podiums and shit smeared on the walls....

And, again, even if there was no way in hell they were going to win... doesn't make it 'fake'.

[–]FredKlein 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

What's 'lame' is seeing a violent armed mob attacking and entering the Capitol building, shouting to find and kill members of Congress... and claiming it's no big deal.

You should perhaps get your definitions right.

A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/ (listen); French for 'stroke of state'[1]), or simply a coup, is an illegal and overt attempt by the military or other government elites to unseat the incumbent leader

An attempted coup is like saying white snow. All you have demonstrated is that you don't know what words mean. Perhaps the next time you touch a keyboard something more intelligent is going to come out? Can you, please?

meh. Go argue with Google- the definition is from them.

Begone, troll

Just use that same Google to check that coups can fail. Just admit you are stupid. It's OK.

Seems like the capitol building might need better security if standing in it allows you to take over the whole country

[–]Canbot 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Jan 6 was a left wing conspiracy orchestrated by democrats. The FBI coerced people into going into the capitol building. The doors were opened for them and people were ushered in by capitol police.

Any claim about insurection or coups is pure propaganda.

Crazy Nancy running her mouth again. It'll be good to see her under arrest.

Remembering how the political establishment reacted once he was elected- even before inauguration; how the careerists- particularly Democrats waged war against Trump- fighting him tooth and nail and opposing EVERYTHING he tried to accomplish- REGARDLESS of how good it was for the country- I'll take Pelosi at her word. I'm sure the scorched earth contingency is set and ready to unleash should Trump win.

It will be the end of America for sure but it won't be Trump's doing.

[–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

REGARDLESS of how good it was for the country

Remind me of something he did that was good for the country?

Are you referring to spending so much time playing golf, watching foxnews and the famous "executive time", thereby minimising the damage?

How do you know executive time didn't mean something time on his own business, leveraging his position for personal gain instead of a three hour wank after lunch every day?

You can't think of any way Trump was good for the country either?

It's certainly difficult to think of anything.

In other news, Nancy Pelosi stresses that Trump is literally Hitler.

Literally.

In fact Hitler was actually born on June 1946 in New York City 13 months and one week to the day after the Nazis surrendered.

Trump was rejected from arts school and used a small loan from his dad of a million dollars to start the National German Socialist Workers party and build a real estate empire. He launched the first anti-smoking campaign and the movement for animal rights.

    "If he were to be president, it would be a criminal enterprise in the White House,”

    That's substantially true isn't it?

    I mean it's still in front of the courts, but last time he was president he ran the Whitehouse like a crime boss. Using state power for personal gain, threatening witnesses, sacking people because they did their job if it was against him, funneling public money into his businesses, selling influence to kim jong un, and attempting to schmooze putin by withholding arms to Ukraine and suggesting that the world recognise the annexation of crimea.

    Print family is positions of power, replacing the attorney general with that sycophant Barr, to hide the findings of meuller, withholding FEMA aid to states that criticised his response to national disasters, sinking the TPP to hand control of pacific trade to China.

    Working with undeclared foreign agents to manipulate elections, stealing classified documents, trying to overturn the will of the people when they voted him out by fraud, then manipulation and finally violence.

    Pelosi's not far wrong.
