It isn't close to a coup attempt, it is a coup attempt.
Trump simply has to have committed a crime, surely?
And I repeat - Twitter needs to take down his account, now. This is seriously dangerous incitement.
Remember when everyone thought the rumours of Trump's Pentagon maneouvres were all froth ?
He's going to jail
Everything would then turn to the military, who I'd presume woudn't be on his side.
Have you even watched the film?
Don't hand people a match and then complain when they set a fire.
Insanity.
#NotAllGOP and some words of lament from Romney or whoever, and they will all stay in the party and be backed across the nation.
Would he need a majority of only confirmed cabinet members, or would it include acting members?

Incarcerating Trump might not be the most calming move.

OR will they ban his entry as a clear and present danger to public safety and security?
Cruz and co should hang their heads in utter shame. I hope the history books give them hell.
As for the Republicans, inertia is a big thing. The Democrats eventually recovered from splitting three ways and plunging the country into a civil war over slavery.
Admittedly it took 76 years, but what are 76 years among friends?
Unfortunately I don't know how you can amputate the arsehole.
Ergo, OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN.
The game keepers would have spread the word among your tenant farmers and summoned your militia for you.
So you would have had time for a relaxing sherry on the terrace, before starting the March On London.
This is a coup attempt.
Betting?
BUT I know my own country well enough, to be confident in this - that the vast majority of Republicans and Trump supporters do NOT support the armed attack by a mob against the US Capitol. DO NOT SUPPORT IT.
My own father was a fan of Joe McCarthy in the early 1950s when he was fighting communism (my father was a US Marine Korean War combat vet). However, my Daddy Dearest turned against JMcC when it became clear that he was NOT motivated by good motives, but rather by a lust for power that had no limits.
Same thing is gonna happen with Trumpsky. That's my prediction for this day.
It is tragic. Difficult to see how America pulls back from this brink, but it must. Obvs.
Again one turns to Yeats' The Second Coming. Written in the immediate aftermath of Spanish Flu
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Trump leaves before end of 1st Term: 18 on Betfair
EDIT I got £17 on it before it moved to 15
EDIT now 13.5
And pulling down the statue of Lincoln - the guy who ended slavery.
I mean, what the fuck?
The really scary thing is that millions of his supporters don't either. And they are armed, in many cases.
