Are there any post coup attempt EX-trump supporters here?

We're probably going to front Don Jr. for 2024.

See what I mean?  You do not even know!

Or maybe you just will not admit it.

So you have NO answer.
"Orange Man BAD!" might just work for you.

Thanks for the clarification.

Really? If I say, "you have a beautiful family, it would be a shame if something happens to them," you would think I am wishing you good health? I noticed you completed ignored my response to your claim. BTW, I am not a Democrat.

It is sad how a certain type of person can be blind to Mr. Trump's inciteful speeches, and yet somehow perceive hostile intent behind an innocent reply to one of their posts.

Sad.

Trumpsters sure do have a love-hate relationship with evidence. Show them evidence of Trump's misdeeds and they move the goalposts. "That's not *really* evidence of X". Ask for evidence to back up his claims of conspiracy though, and they either give bs that has been debunked a dozen times over, or you get awkward radio silence.
Where's all that evidence of voter fraud when Trump's judges asked him for it? They sure do back down fast when they're threatened with a defamation suit. Because proving it isn't baseless defamation would require them providing evidence that they don't have.
Not that his supporters care. They implicitly trust him because they're in too deep. After all, in this speech Trump dismissed his own judges as "puppets" (of...some nebulous anti-Trump hivemind I guess?) for taking issue with his lack of any real evidence.

They were dumb enough to post about it online before the attack even happened. I find this amusing too because of the way they went about it and they think they are patriots and think they had done an accomplishment because they put it on social media with their selfies and bragging about it to photo journalists which got used to help identify them. Over 70 arrests have been made so far as far as I know. one man was so proud to be carrying a podium and waved to the camera like he had won a trophy. He was a 36 year old man and a father of four. He got arrested. Even one here in Portland was arrested outside a hotel here in downtown for being at the riot and he claimed he was never part of the riot and he didn't know it would happen and he left the building when he got told to leave by security and he did so he was shocked he was arrested. He was let out on bail. $25 dollars.

I was searching for the full speech but this was one of the first results titled “How trump’s Capitol Speech Incited an Insurrection”

The actions of the mob he spoke to seem to be awfully well aligned with the words he spoke. Complete coincidence?



Here’s a link to video of the full speech in this article:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... 6-capitol/

No, I have not watched the entire speech - I did hear most of it on a live stream, but I have not listened to 100% of it. The live streamed version I listened to had interruptions from the commentator, David Pakman. Apparently most of it was whining a bunch of fabrications about election fraud that never happened.

As for “this other guy,” umm, he’s not a “newsman,” presenting an opinion piece. He’s the Attorney General of Washington DC and stated that he intends to file criminal charges of inciting violence against trump for what he said & did just prior to the coup attempt at the Capitol. Big difference.. and even you should realize that.

Ok, if you want to compare it to robbing banks.. this wasn’t someone committing fraud at an ATM in a 7-11 or even stealing the ATM. This would be more like a Tom Cruise Mission Impossible style team of highly trained operatives attempting a raid on TD’s headquarters during the official recognition ceremony of a new bank president in order to keep their chosen bank president in place who was just voted out for doing business with cartels. Of course they wouldn’t ALL be highly skilled and trained, there would be a bunch of bumbling idiots who’re more of a distraction than anything. But it would still be an attempt at taking over the entire banking organization with the intent of controlling it and having it do as you wanted despite the votes of shareholders & the board of directors. Since you like bank analogies and can’t figure out that the US Capitol Building is not the equivalent of an ATM inside a 7-11.

It’s not just a late night comedian’s take that it was an attempted coup. It’s the opinion of international security experts that are deeply concerned for the well being & stability of America’s democracy. This plan had the assistance of republican lawmakers who work inside the Capitol building, former And active military personnel, ditto for police. It was planned and executed by highly skilled & trained individuals, utilizing police & military tactics, training, communication methods, weapons & defences, planning, surveillance, reconnaissance and so on. This cannot be called anything other than an attempted coup, because that’s what it was.

These minions will never admit he incited this and will continue thinking that people interpreted "fight" for attack. Not that it was on Trump that caused it because of his speech.

Hold on, need more popcorn. The apologetics and excuses for trump and his kobold army are hilarious.

It was quiet from the Trump Defense Squad for a few. But it seems they've finally regrouped. I guess they had to wait for orders on what they should think for themselves next. I mean, they spent WEEKS, MONTHS, acting all smug and secure that trump would TOTALLY NEVER do the thing he went and actually did, and acting all pretentious that his followers would TOTALLY NEVER do the thing they went and did. And then they went and did. Frankly, I admire their courage for being willing to jump back in to kissing tRump as early as they did. That's dedication. D'Orange-d Kool-Aid must taste damn good for it to work its way around the globe the way it has.

The really funny part is when people try to play it off like it wasn't that big a deal, but also still try to justify it as a legitimate reaction to "Vowteur Frawld!! !" and other such tripe. IT WAS A REVOLUTION, but not really a revolution, more like a gathering of like-minded people, WITH VALID AND REAL OUTRAGE, but not that big a deal, not that violent, and even if they were whattaboutism! BLM ANTIFA FAKE NEWS BLAH BLAH SHEEPLE GEORGE SOROS UKRAINE HUNTER BIDEN HONKA HONKA BENGAZI!! !

There's an amazing lack of self-awareness in your post.

Yes, you can assume that everyone exhibits deep-seated subconscious political bias, except you.

But in order to do so, you also have to accept that it's equally likely you are the one exhibiting deep-seated subconscious political bias, and actually everybody else is telling the truth.

And then there's the question of which is more likely, given the circumstances?

The "It's not faaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" whinging has been going on for months now. Trump's legal team have been to Court on numerous occasions and got nowhere, due to lack of evidence. Yet still it persists. Everything Trump is doing is designed to stir up trouble and uncertainty, and undermine the democratic process. Right is wrong, truth is lie, up is down, black is white. Deflection tactics, smoke and mirrors, divide and conquer. If Trump really believed half the stuff he's spouting now, how come it wasn't all investigated and put to bed over the last 4 years, rather than suddenly becoming a problem now he's lost?

The conspiracy theory attitude that any real evidence could and should be automatically dismissed because "that's what THEY want you to think" clearly has no resolution, which is why it's political gold dust. But if we're going to get that sceptical, it needs to be applied with equal dedication to what Trump is saying too. What does HE want you to think? Which lines of thought just happen to benefit him the most? Is he really saving the American people from some form of Democrat elite - itself a contradiction, as elitists don't generally favour giving more of their earnings away in taxes, and if they do it's a mystery why that might be a bad thing. What does putting your faith in Trump - himself a far greater supporter of the top 5% earners in America at everyone else's expense, policy-wise - actually buy you? More egotism, more bullying and blame, more hatred and bile. What substance is there, beneath all the spin? All he's really good at is stirring people up so he can wrong-foot them. His whole Presidency has basically been a Swiss Toni style, shiny suited knob-waving competition. That's all he does.

The worst part is Hillary hasn't been locked up yet.

Yeah!
