No coup attempt!!. Trump is going to be impeached for completely illegal quid pro quo conduct just as he deserves. Too bad you right wingers backed the stupidest criminal president ever.

are you willing to bet on it??

No impeachment sorry.

Pelosi Lied to yall

I'll type it slowly for you

NO IMPEACHMENT!

I’m willing to bet on it.

But it’s strange that no leftist on this site will take that bet.

I think every single one of them agrees with you but don’t want to say it because the hivemind is listening.

He will not be impeached.

Apparently Bob Mueller was "feeling out" President Trump the day before Rod Rosenstein named him as Special Counsel for the witch-hunt. The Mueller investigation was a "soft coup" attempt? Looks like it.

All adding up now.

Explains why [RR] was "allowed" to continue and then resign when Trump figured it all out 😎

I wonder whether Robert looked the President in the eyes while he was "feeling him out."

Depends if it was in his purview "at the time" 😎

The only "coup" I saw was by the left and some random republicans against a sitting president... which shoudnt be forgotten.

The one thing we do know is that "something" happened to Mueller during his 2 year investigation. In May of 2017, his mind was still sharp as a whip.

AG Barr and Prosecutor Durham went to Italy last week to collect some very special evidence against the Coup plotters.

Hindsight being 20/20, he was already "under the auspices" of the direction of Rod.

Rosenstein.

Cool! I had read that in another thread but obviously didnt put 2 and 2 together. LOL! A coup of this nature is a no no in a huge way. My hope is that prosecution is for ALL involved. I dont care WHO it is.. what side of the aisle.. whatever. Our govt has gotten fat and lax on so many issues. I say start the process now. Maybe Ill live long enough to see a republic.

Even the democratic party knows they can't beat Trump. Their only hope is to impeach or kill him. Yes, it is a coup! I figured this out 6/8 months ago.

Coup - Dictionary.com

See, here's what I don't understand:

I can't count the number of times I've said something like "that word doesn't mean what you're saying it means" and then I get back "Language is fluid, it changes all the time."

Like, blog. Right? That's can't possibly be a word, right?

Merriam-Webster: Blog

Damn my eyes! Or gaslight. That's a light that's lit by a gaseous energy source right?

Lexico, Powered by Oxford: gaslight

Thank God I was only half wrong that time...wait what? Gaslight only became a verb based upon the popularity of Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play? Well that was only 81 years ago!

Where did the word 'coup' come from anyway?

Etymology Online

coup (n.)
c. 1400, "a blow" (obsolete), from Old French coup, colp "a blow, strike" (12c.), from Medieval Latin colpus, from Vulgar Latin *colapus, from Latin colaphus "a cuff, box on the ear," from Greek kolaphos "a blow, buffet, punch, slap," "a lowly word without clear etymology" [Beekes].

Meaning "a sudden decisive act" is 1852, short for coup d'etat. In Modern French the word is a workhorse, describing everything from a pat on the back to a whipping, and is used as well of thunder, gusts of wind, gunshots, and chess moves.

Huh. Seems the only thing Trump got wrong was the duration. A coup should be short and decisive. We're going on three years now! It doesn't make it any less of an assault.

when your ready to debate POINT BY POINT the adult world will welcome it

Is "fobbing you off" even a term? It sounds like something a teenager thinks sounds British.

ETA: well butter my biscuit:

M-W: fob off

Cause Im all arrogant and stuff, here are some more words that some must familiarize themselves with in the super near future :

Treason, Sedition, and subversive activities

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason

Has to do with warring against the United States. Doesn't seem to fit.


None of those seem to apply. They are about overthrowing the Government. Unless you think Trump is the US Government. He isn't, he may believe so, but he isn't. He is one part of it. Remove him and he is legally replaced. The Government still exists. It's powers unchanged.

The process of impeachment is defined in the Constitution. That fact makes it legal.

I didnt mention impeachment. I said impeach him.. please. All information gathered should be used against those who did naughty things and I didnt care what side of the aisle they were on.

This is just one thing that applies to what I posted. You see, when you impeach and they uncover other illegal acts, they can be prosecuted as well. Its NOT just the president. Or current president.

The report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations revealed that under President Barack Obama, the Treasury Department issued a license in February 2016, never previously disclosed, that would have allowed Iran to convert $5.7 billion it held at a bank in Oman from Omani rials into euros by exchanging them first into U.S. dollars. If the Omani bank had allowed the exchange without such a license, it would have violated sanctions that bar Iran from transactions that touch the U.S. financial system.

Remind us, who imposed said sanctions?

Probably some dumbarse republican. And??

a reply to: Advantage



You're talking about the JCPOA? I don't know if what the Treasury did was illegal but it doesn't seem to fit the definitions of treason, sedition, or subversive activities. Nothing to do with overthrowing the US Government. Nor does impeachment.
