Capitol Hill: call that a coup? : Comments

By Graham Young, published 10/2/2021

What the Democrats are asking us to believe is that a man who can make billions in his lifetime doing intricate deals can't properly organise a coup.

There is the matter of truth. According the decision of the courts there was no evidence even to judges appointed by Trump that the election was not a free and fair election. Trump did not accept the results of this election and encouraged his followers to challenge it. Officials in a democratic society accept the results of elections even when it goes against them. They cooperate with the incoming official to yield power to the new leader and his or her assistants. Trump did not do that but encouraged his followers to oppose the results. This is the pattern he followed as a real estate developer. He would not pay a contractor the amount billed but would offer a fraction of the amount and would tie up a contractor in litigation if he refused. Trump used a variation of this tactic after the 2020 election.

Everyone has a right to an opinion.

I believe Trump indeed cited events on the Congress, as do the majority of Americans, although there is an immense difference between Democrats and Republican voters.

1. Trump lost the $Billions his Mummy and Daddy gave him.

He was then bailed out of bankruptcy by the Russians, several times.

2. Youtubes and Speech transcript prove Trump incided his mob to go to the Capitol/Parliament Building to then go into the Building.

If some Antifa 'leader', forgetting that that anarchist rabble don't have leaders, had urged supporters to smash their way in and take over the Capitol Buildings, as Trumpf did, then surely that would be incitement ?

If the Antifa rabble HAD done that, wouldn't that be something like insurrection ? The police would have had the right, perhaps the duty, to shoot the lot. The Alt-right would have gone ape-sh!t.

In Trumpf's case, it amounted to incitement to overthrow his own government. Has any US president ever approached this level of treason ?

Of course, he'll get off any impeachment charge - the Republicans in the Senate are watching their base for the 2022 mid-term elections, regardless of the right or wrong of any issue. Big mistake eventually, I suspect.

The Democrats are merely projecting their own skullduggery onto Trump.

Ttbn,

Sorry, I missed that - that the Democrats tried to overthrow their own government and incited rabid Democrat mobs to smash into the Capitol buildings, killing a policeman in the process ?

You might have to provide some details :)
