And I'm all out of bubblegum.
Who is doing to listen to them ? The JCOS released a statement explicitly stating that Biden will be inaugurated . That was pretty unheard of since these people rarely address the public, and had some very specific lines that were intended to disperse any doubt on which side they were on.
Secondly, if anything was to be tried military wise, it had to be before the EC vote or certification . Now there are no pretend grounds for that, except the obvious which is a two bit dictator wannabe .
Even if there were someone in the military to follow him, it would be basically end of USA as a union, end of stock market , industry, because no one but his loonies will accept an actual coup. And they are still a minority.
And let me say this again, a fecking pillow company CEO. Probably was scribbling that while donny two times was moaning that Ivanka won't return his calls.
Some of his more militant supporters might listen. I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting Trump might successfully attempt a coup, or that he'll even very seriously try it, but as we saw at the Capitol it's enough that his fanatic supporters believe that he wants them to do something. If there's ever a point to stop just laughing at how silly they are, it's now. At least for another few days.

So far he is telling them to not do anything violent, of course not everyone will listen and there will be multiple events . However what we are discussing here , is the possibility of a government action through an order, which is just unlikely.

If he goes on TV prime time and says "everyone who is for me grab a gun and start shooting democrats" then undoubtedly hell would break loose. He has ways to feck things up, if he so wishes , but this particular episode seems just food for the qnuts.

Hope he's arrested on the 21'st, none of this 'let's not prosecute to keep the peace' bullshit arguments.

Nobody should be prosecuted for their political beliefs AND nobody should be shielded from prosecution for their political beliefs/popularity with a segment of the population either.

No justice, no peace.

Let me guess your friend shares IFP and NP posts as well.
He's American, ex-army, friend of a friend. He seemed a decent guy when I met him. I only learned years later that him and his whole family are staunchly, deeply conservative. He was at the capitol, though not inside as far as I can tell.

He's sharing 1984 memes these days.

Some of his people are so loyal and convincing they have me second guessing my sanity. What if we are the crazy ones ? This usually only last for a fleeting second then I am like nah we're not the crazy ones.
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment.

This is the real enemy of the people. Everytime I see this b**** my blood boils hotter than lava. I wish someone would throw 25 Caroline Reaper bombs in her mouth and duct tape that shit shut so that it comes out the witch's nose for 4 years straight so that she understand how it feels to have her boss baby as a president.

I liked Bill Maher for a week or two a decade ago, I think. Can't stand him.
:D Well put.

I'm Swiss was good but his sanctimonious lecturing has gotten old. Also he might be the epitome of what's wrong with "listen to both sides".

I’m thinking Trump is engaged in misdirection now with talk of coup, his sending off Andrew’s AFB, etc so when he pardons himself and all around him people will be relieved instead of outraged.
Or to put it another way: watch what he does, not what he says.

In fairness, people like that spent the whole presidency saying whatever the latest controversy was would be the thing to finally take him down and nothing ever did. Only two weeks before the end did he finally he manage to push it too far.

Everyone is saying hell awaits him and his clan of cnuts when he is out of office but I bet he somehow lands on his feet. Biden will give him some softball deal in an effort to calm down his lunatic fanbase.
