Trump says there was an attempted ‘coup’ on his administration:

Dan Bongino put together the evidence of the coup attempt on POTUS back in February with two excellent podcasts. Definitely worth the listen.

Was the Clinton impeachment an attempted coup?

You need to listen to the 2 podcasts first.

Comparing an attempt to manufacture "evidence" in an attempt to overthrow a sitting president to that of Bill Clinton who was proven to have lied and obstructed justice are night and day comparisons.

No one manufactured evidence Bill Clinton lied and no one manufactured evidence Bill Clinton obstructed justice. The votes came in and there was not a majority needed to impeach Clinton. Not surprisingly none of the democrats voted to impeach Bill Clinton. Yet there was actual evidence.

Where's the evidence Donald Trump colluded with Russians? Since there is no evidence there must be a reason the left pursued this course of action. If they have the evidence then where is it?

No I don't.

Neither an impeachment or an investigation is a coup. Neither constitutes an overthrow of government. The president of the United States is not the government of the United States. No matter what Trump thinks.

Yeah you do. You just want to be willfully ignorant of what actually happened. No one is saying POTUS is the government. But your denial of the facts just proves the left's unwillingness to accept your own hypocrisy.

You attempted to make a comparison of what happened to Bill Clinton to Trump and say there is a double standard. They are entirely different scenarios. It was PROVEN Bill Clinton lied under oath and it was PROVEN Bill Clinton obstructed justice. Therefore impeachment was warranted.

Where is the proof Trump colluded with Russia? Since there is no proof and there never was any proof I ask you once again why did the left pursue this course of action? Here's the answer: because they manufactured false evidence in an attempt to remove Trump. Also known as a coup attempt.

One last time. No one manufactured evidence against Bill Clinton. The evidence shows he lies and obstructed justice. No one was trying to illegally remove Bill Clinton from office.

But hey man...tell yourself whatever you need to make yourself feel better.

EDIT: The investigation into the coup has just begun BTW. McCabe made sure to cover his ass on 60 Minutes because he knows what's coming.

I know what a coup is. Maybe you should look it up.
And tell Trump while you're at it.

LOL...what a stellar rebuttal.

a reply to: 1point92AU

Not a rebuttal. Just pointing out a basic concept of which the president and some others seem to be ignorant.

It would take far more than an impeachment to overthrow our government.

coup d'état[ (kooh day-tah) ]
A quick and decisive seizure of governmental power by a strong military or political group. In contrast to a revolution, a coup d'état, or coup, does not involve a mass uprising. Rather, in the typical coup, a small group of politicians or generals arrests the incumbent leaders, seizes the national radio and television services, and proclaims itself in power. Coup d'état is French for “stroke of the state” or “blow to the government.”

Source of above definition

Since the MSM (with the exception of Fox News and OAM) is all left-leaning and supporters of the Democratic policies, the seizing of media aspect was already in motion prior to the 2016 election. And, in conjunction with them and the Democratic party, they attempted to unseat a legally elected president of the United States, using methods that included collusion, conspiracy, and manufacturing false evidence.

Sure sounds an smells like a coup. But then for someone who has self proclaimed as being not a smart man in another thread, I am not surprised the definition does not meet your myopic viewpoint and biased d-bag thought processes.

In the US there are three branches of government. The president represents one of those branches. The president is not the government. No matter what Trump may think.

Fortunately.

Yes, which makes a successful coup very difficult, but not impossible. The president does have the ability to approve legislature (which is controlled by the opposing political party at this time), as well as head the entire executive branch. So, under the current conditions, where the legislative branch is under the control of the Democratic Party, the media is also clearly and openly supporting that party, taking over the presidency will, in effect seize control of 2 of the 3 branches of our government. And, as for the judicial branch. It has also been shown to be led by folks that are in the Democratic Party, and willing to modify the legal definitions to suit their own party agenda (i.e. "matter" not "investigation", etc....). So, that branch is also compromised for the Democratic Party.

So, you keep your biased and myopic viewpoint....ignorance is bliss.

Meanwhile, the adults here will keep their eyes open and call it as it is.....a failed attempted coup of the United States.

Incorrect. The Senate is controlled by the Republican party, which makes a successful impeachment highly unlikely. It should also be noted that both parts of Congress were duly elected.

Incorrect.

You are misinformed. The Democratic Party controls the House of Representatives, and is actively attempting to also convert the few senate seats they need for full control of the Senate.

But, again, you keep your eyes closed tight little one. I know long sentences are difficult for you to put into your conversations when you are wrong. SO I expect a one-liner snippy retort, like, "says you" next.

Keep deflecting from your inaccurate comparison of the impeachment of Bill Clinton to the attempted illegal removal of the POTUS.

You're trying to back track out of this by using semantics. Coup has multiple applications and in this instance the application is well suited.

Bill Clinton was proven to have lied and to have obstructed justice. It was perfectly legal to impeach him. There is and never will be any evidence Trump colluded with Russians. Therefore the "evidence" that was used was manufactured under false pretenses for the express purpose of removing Trump. Done so by a group of people all with the same objective.

This is a perfectly applicable use of the word 'coup'.

And by what means do the Democrats control the House? Coup or election?

Because president Donny is special.
He is the government.

I never said that did I? But then, since you have no other retort for the actual topic, you need to resort to personal attacks upon the president. Oh little one, perhaps it is above your head, sorry.
