Trump’s Plans for a Coup Are Now Public

[pecksniff]

Story.

Last year, John Eastman, whom CNN describes as an attorney working with Donald Trump’s legal team, wrote a preposterous memo outlining how then–Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the 2020 election by fiat or, failing that, throw the election to the House of Representatives, where Republicans could install Trump in office despite his loss to Joe Biden. The document, which was first reported by the Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in their new book, is a step-by-step plan to overthrow the government of the United States through a preposterous interpretation of legal procedure.

Pence apparently took the idea seriously—so seriously, in fact, that, according to Woodward and Costa, former Vice President Dan Quayle had to talk him out of it. Prior to November, the possibility of Trump attempting a coup was seen as the deranged fever dream of crazed liberals. But as it turns out, Trump and his advisers had devised explicit plans for reversing Trump’s loss. Republican leaders deliberately stoked election conspiracy theories they knew to be false, in order to lay a political pretext for invalidating the results. Now, more than 10 months after the election, the country knows of at least five ways in which Trump attempted to retain power despite his defeat.

The fact that anyone believed that in the first place is one reason why 1) the Republicans have become so extreme, and 2) they came as close as they did to getting away with it. Time and again, the left warns of this sort of thing, and no one else listens until it's too late.

Hard to take the warnings of authoritarianism, from a bunch of totalitarian control freak authoaritarians.

None of this info will sway the trumptards from the big lie, which is a big lie. They are losers who cannot admit that they follow a loser.

His attempts to overthrow the election and violate the Constitution are the most unamerican acting ever done by a U.S. president.

Yet more proof that Republicans have become the biggest threat to our democracy.

The fact that he is still pushing the lie is beyond crazy. Anyone who still supports trump is unamerican and does not stand for american values. They are basically retards.

The OP loves to post threads that are opposite of the truth.

Whatever Dems accuse Republicans of, Dems are doing!

It's called obfuscation. Good job, lapdog!

Many on this board have been insisting for several years that President Trump belongs in jail. Some predicted his incarceration was imminent. Yet there he is, playing golf and continuing to insert himself into national politics. .

Yes, Republicans keep coming up with dumber candidates in their race to the bottom.

They've come a long way since Dan Quayle.

LOL - that was actually my first response too. "Dan Quayle, Savior of Democracy". Who would have figured that.

 

[RoryN]

Right now, the bar of intelligence in America is so low that, during a pivotal moment in our democracy, the deciding voice of reason was Dan Quayle.
