Cont: Trump’s Coup - Part 2

[Thermal]

The mindset between just doing a thing on the spur of the moment vs the thought out planning days or weeks ahead? You sure?

No one is talking about doing things on the spur of the moment. That's your weird add-on. A dog chasing a car means to act without a plan or any forethought about when you accomplish your action. To explain it yet more clearly, a guy could spend weeks trying to win the attention of a young lady, and upon getting it, have no idea what to then do.

So your assertion that the alien registration act didn't apply to the coup hinges on the fact that the prosecutors didn't charge anyone? That's circular logic, and also fails to take into account the fact that prosecutors rarely charge people with every possible broken law, especially one that became a lot more difficult to apply after 1957. I found one use in 1961, but nothing since then.

Is that the best you can do?

No, in fact (as you were already told) this is just the kick off.

Yet you are already moving the goalposts and trying to change the subject. The subject, to refresh your evidently floundering memory, is that you proudly assert that there is no codifying in law regarding insurrection. I say there is. I provided a relevant statute. You gonna continue to slink away from that or do you concede that it is in fact codified into law?

Is a dog chasing a car trying to stop it? Or does it not have the foggiest idea why he's chasing it or what he will do with it?

"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"
"Kill Mike Pence!!!"

Lock these people up now or some others may get it right next time.

Can we move on from this? Been there done that n all?

McCarthy just named these men to the House Jan. 6 investigative committee:

Jim Banks
Kelly Armstrong
Rodney Davis
Jim Jordan
Troy Nehls

All of them are outspoken Trump loyalists, especially Jim JORDAN.

Well, last Thursday McCarthy went to Florida to kneel down and kiss the ring.....

 

[dudalb]

Hope Pelosi kicks Jordan off the commitee.

Casual criminal... $4.2m in restitution. Clearly race was the main issue, as it is key in the reporting.

Please mods, move this BS.

What are you on about? The article I posted made no mention of her race whatsoever. I didn't even know it before I posted.

 

[dudalb]

McCarthy is denying his talked with Trump about his commitee choices.
Does McCarthy really believe anybody will buy that crap?

It will be interesting to see if Pelosi dismisses any of them as unqualified. I think she has that prerogative.

As deniers of the election outcome she would be right to exclude them. Or maybe she'll let them stay and make fools of themselves.

Since Jordan at least is all about that soapbox instead of an actual exam of the facts, he should be refused. But that only gives them more **** to whine about.

I do.

It doesn't take a genius to know what Trump would want here. Probably didn't need to say a damn thing to him.

I don't. Trump is obsessed with and only concerned about anything that has to do with himself. An investigation into his role in instigating the insurrection belongs squarely in that category. Therefore, he would want to have input into who sits on that committee and would fight for and be loyal to him. I'd bet Jordan was his choice and McCarthy obeyed like the lap dog he is.

I also hope Pelosi rejects him. You don't allow the fox to guard the chickens.

 

[Susheel]

I do.

Oh come on, do you think Trump would even bother to meet with McCarthy unless he came with assurances that McCarthy "would have his back" re the enquiry? McCarthy would like people to believe it was a social call? I don't think Trump considers McCarthy to be anything more than a useful idiot and has no intention of having any kind of social relation with him

Her original crime is not the poin jt.
It's getting 5 years for mistakenly voting while on probation that is the issue.

Are you now trying to act as though "acting without a plan" and "doing something on the spur of the moment" mean something different?

It's sadly fascinating watching this.

No, in fact (as you were already told) this is just the kick off.

I stated that attempting a coup was probably not codified into law, and despite your posturing you've yet to show that it's codified into any law that's been used in the last 60 years.

To repeat, prosecutors not charging someone with a crime is not, in fact evidence that they didn't do the crime, if such a crime is even on the books. Perhaps they knew there were enough folks like you out there who would nitpick and argue that bringing weapons and restraining devices to the attack on the Capitol Building didn't qualify as an attack on the "government" because enough members of Congress had left by the time the mob swarmed them that they no longer had a quorum and so it was only...what was your phrase? wandering around and leaving? (please ignore the deaths, injuries and millions of dollars damage no really it was just like a dog chasing a car)

That's what I mean, I don't think they met at all, and that McCarthy, should he wish to, can manage to do exactly what Trump wants without consulting him.

And McCarthy went to Margo Largo last week to kneel down and kiss the ring.

Trump did meet with McCarthy last week at Margo Largo.

Agreed.It would raise a stink, but then it has reached the point where it should be clear playing nice ith the GOP gets you nothing.
It's war, folks.

Is Margo Largo near Key Largo?

 

[angrysoba]

Well, last Thursday McCarthy went to Florida to kneel down and kiss the ring.....

I'd hate to think which ring.

 

[W.D.Clinger]

Is Margo Largo near Key Largo?

Not since their divorce.

The simplest way to put this:

The Dildo Stormers were a pack of dogs chasing a car. They caught it, and of course didn't know what to do with it. You and yours think the dogs were plotting an organized carjacking.

This is not complicated. A coup, by any definition, is an attempt to wrest power undemocratically. The dildos had no actual objective. They were ******* dogs chasing a ******* car. Go put Spot and Fido on the stand and charge them with conspiracy to commit carjacking. Whatever. I say throw the rabid things in the pound for what they really did.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs considered the the threat sufficiently serious that he urgently planned how to circumvent.

You, an anonymous character on the internet who has blatantly minimized Trump's actions, thinks otherwise.
