I find "overthrow" to be an odd choice of words, more associated with the removal of monarchs and dictators, and not elected officials. Wonder if it is just me:confused:

Thank you for getting to that before me.

Hopefully not, but it's pretty much a given that the Trump Administration won't leave things pretty.

...More specifically, there have been a multitude of brazenly false claims from people on the right, very much including Dobbs, about lots of coups that weren't even remotely close to being coups. I'm fairly certain that you weren't agreeing with them and were being sarcastic, but I think that no good can come of even implicitly giving such false accusations even that much face without something to even more clearly show that it's sarcasm, like the pink text.

It would take quite a large SUV, or a special vehicle with a crane to remove Trump, depending on where he got stuck. In Pooh's hole again, I imagine. A sturdy truck with a winch might do it, depending on what the ground is like. The process would go smoother if he also had his head stuck in a jar of honey as well, both because it would keep him quiet and because he'd be usefully distracted by eating the honey.

Do you mean administrative sabotage or the green apple splatters? I think this time it's likely to be vast quantities of both.

According to the Guardian, Trump is calling the explosion in Beirut an attack, noting US generals ‘seem to feel it was’; ‘it was a bomb, yes’.

Port explosion in Beirut

Perhaps the evidence will prove him right.

I'm reading there was a fire at a warehouse used to store ammonium nitrate. It's possible the fire was set deliberately, but it doesn't seem to have been a bomb.

I'm not too worried about that. But I am worried about what a defeated McConnell manipulating a mentally ill Trump might do in the lame duck.

I'm also more concerned about the Administration going on something of a spree of last minute worker and average American endangering rule changes and corrupt approvals of various things, because they don't expect to have 4 more years to push them through at a more easily ignored rate. Nasty and annoying stuff to clean up, in short, if it even reasonably can be cleaned up.

I don't think you need to worry. As the Republicans made clear during the last year of a presidency they won't approve appointments as that is up to the next president....

You misunderstood. Apparently it's fine to push through appointments so long as the President is standing for re-election.

In the event that we're at the end of a Republican President's second term then it's fine to push through appointment so long as the Republican nominee for President intends to continue the sitting President's legacy.

In both cases, continuity is the key.

Democratic Presidents on the other hand, whether in their first or second term are fundamentally untrustworthy and have no concept of continuity. For that reason, all appointments at any point in a Democratic presidential term should either not be brought before the Senate or if by some accident this is unavoidable, they should be rejected out of hand.
 
Neil Young is suing Donald Trump's re-election campaign for continually using his music without his permission.

The rock star says the US president breached copyright laws by playing his songs at political rallies and events.

A New York court heard on Tuesday that the Canadian objected to President Trump's use of Rockin' in the Free World and Devil's Sidewalk.

The Trump campaign has not yet commented.

Carlson has weighed in on most of Biden's potential running mates.

Tucker Carlson says it's 'probably illegal' for Joe Biden to pick a Black woman as vice president

Because having a chosen requirement for a selection to be black or female is so totally horrible. *facepalm*

SEC investigating possible insider trading around Kodak-Trump drug production deal

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating possible insider trading at Eastman Kodak following a spike in the company’s shares around the announcement of a $765 million government loan to manufacture pharmaceutical ingredients. Sen. Elizabeth Warren had called on the SEC to investigate because shares began rising even before the official announcement of the loan.

“The Monday, July 27, trades are not the only questionable stock trade involving Kodak and the company’s Defense Production Act deal with the Trump administration. The Kodak chairman and other members of Kodak’s board of directors appear to have purchased substantial amounts of company stock last month, ahead of the public announcement, at a time when Kodak and the Trump administration were negotiating the deal in secret,” Warren said in a letter to SEC Chair Jay Clayton.

"It is well known that Tucker and Trump share a single brain, which they pass back and forth in a lunchbox. When Trump has one of his sleepier, medicated-seeming performances, it is because Tucker was late returning the lunchbox brain."

:D
