Trump's Coup Attempt


both McConnell and Graham were appalled by the assault on the Capitol that was incited by Trump after a "Stop the Steal' rally with a disgusted McConnell returning later that night where he saw, "the splintered wood in the door to his Capitol suite left by marauders who had tried to break into his office and attack his staff."

Speaking with his staff, McConnell reportedly told them, "We’ve all known that Trump is crazy. I’m done with him. I will never speak to him again.”

For his part, Graham took to the floor of the Senate to lash out at the former president in a widely shared clip, where he announced, "Trump and I, we had a hell of a journey. I hate it being this way. Oh my God I hate it … but today all I can say is count me out. Enough is enough.”

However, as the book relates, Graham quickly changed his mind after a chance encounter at Reagan National Airport.

According to the book, "Two days later, Trump supporters had harassed Graham as he walked through Reagan National Airport, calling him a 'traitor.' Graham’s resolve crumbled almost immediately. By the time the House was voting to impeach the following week, he had resumed his position as captain of the president’s cheering squad. He even found Trump an impeachment trial lawyer when no one else would step forward to defend him."

Like Graham, many Senate Republicans who experienced a flash of conscience and self-reflection in the wake of the riot had it quickly beaten out of them by Trump’s base.

GOP Unveils 'Commitment To America' Plan With Stock Videos Of Russia, Ukraine

“We celebrate the rich heritage of the American story,” a narrator says, over footage of a drilling rig in Russia's Volgograd region.

House Republican leaders on Friday unveiled their “Commitment to America” agenda for 2023 ― and with it, an inspirational video full of scenes presented as exceptional imagery of America that were actually stock footage from Russia and Ukraine.

House Republicans used stock footage of a drilling rig in Russia in their video celebrating their vision for America in 2023.

Here is a boy holding a toy airplane who appears in a video from House Republicans celebrating American exceptionalism. This boy was actually filmed in Russia.

The video from House Republicans also featured this woman walking through a European grocery store.

I doubt this was a mistake. The GOP and putin are just becoming more aligned in their vision for america.

HuffPost reached out to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for comment as to why GOP leaders rolled out their plan for America with a video featuring stock footage from Russia.

“Interesting how you guys aren’t remotely interested on the issues facing the American people in the video,” responded McCarthy spokesman Mark Bednar.

Also interesting how you dont even say it was a mistake, kevin.

Ah, brilliant. This magnificent vision of a greater country is brought to you by your comrades in the GOP. Make Rodina Great.

So apparently while president trump was scheduled to visit a naval ship near japan and the white house sent out a request to the military to hide a naval ship from trumps view. Why? Because the name of the naval ship is "USS John S McCain". White house officials were so worried that trump would throw a tantrum if he saw the ship with his adversaries (McCain) name on it that they requested that the military hide it from his view. LOL
What a child.

Don't you remember that? I was disgusted, my politics are far from right wing, far from those of the Republican party. I disagree with the ideas the John McCain advocated for but I respected the man, he was a giant, a patriot and an American hero.

John McCain was geopolitically a neocon, would sell out the American people as evidenced by his getting caught as one of the Keating Five, and had frightening authoritarian impulses demonstrated by using his position to weaponize the IRS against his political enemies. John McCain should be praised for his military service and early life, but any praise for McCain as a Senator is entirely misplaced. The Senate is a better place for his not being in it. It is a shame the Navy put his name on one of their boats.

I used to be one of the bird girls at bush gardens. You're wrong in every way, deal with it.

I don't care if you were one of the spice girls. It doesn't change that Senator John McCain, along with 4 other US Senators, was found to have been bought off by Charles Keating in the Lincoln Savings & Loan scandal. It doesn't change that Senator John McCain used his position to get Lois Lerner, the director of the Exempt Organizations unit of the IRS, to audit his political enemies so often that "it is financially ruinous". ...And yes, John McCain was a neocon. McCain was a savvy politician who cultivated an image that was miles away from who he really was as a person while in reality he played the hardest of hard ball to benefit himself.
 
Oh sure, but when I say it people lose their minds…

As I’ve been saying for years now, those who continue to support trump they are either ridiculously ignorant or they have serious character flaws. He’s that ****** of a person. Those who support him still are ****** people.

So weird that he uses the term “china loving” as an insult. Its ok to like other countries as well as america.
Some people go to china and have a great time there (my brother and cousin did). Some people live there and have fantastic lives.
I have been to other countries and enjoyed myself. Is that some crime to trumpers now?
