Trump's Coup Attempt

Disgusting. Lock his *** up

President Trump urged fellow Republican Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in an extraordinary one-hour phone call Saturday that election experts said raised legal questions.

The Washington Post obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him to act and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims, at one point warning that Raffensperger was taking “a big risk.”

During their conversation, Trump issued a vague threat to both Raffensperger and Ryan Germany, the secretary of state’s legal counsel, suggesting that if they don’t find that thousands of ballots in Fulton County have been illegally destroyed to block investigators — an allegation for which there is no evidence — they would be subject to criminal liability.

Are repubs cool with this? They understand that these same tactics can be used to make president AOC dictator for life, right? I’m pretty angry at people’s short sightedness. You’re willing to throw away our democracy over trump? And why are you so certain your side is going to be the beneficiary of a dictatorship? What happens when the left takes advantage of these loopholes to install their dictator? How would you like that?
It’s like the GOP has never lost a damn election before. Get over it.

But sadly, I don’t think they will. Half this country has been radicalized to the point where they don’t respect Democrats as legitimate opponents. They don’t respect norms and feel like democracy no longer serves them. Good luck...

It not only belongs in this "coup" thread, it also belongs in the "impeach Trump" thread.




But seriously people, read the Washington Post article and/or listen to the recording for yourself.
 
Wow, I was just going to post this as well, guys. Here’s another article, with the tape, just in case anyone is stymied by the Washington Post paywall....

Trump begged like a dog for Georgia’s Sec of State to overturn an election. He “wanted to ask him a favor though.” He needs to be impeached tomorrow. This is an open and shut case. Just play the phone call and impeach.
 
All these senators and representatives who are advocating violence and threatening officials should be tried for treason.
 
Why bother having elections anymore? Just let the leader decide the results.



This seems a little impeachy to me.

It also means that a Republican AG will have to decide to prosecute... right? I can’t imagine Trump fluffer Brian Kemp wants his AG to do that. But I could be wrong. Maybe the release of this tape is a signal that they’re ready to prosecute when he’s no longer president?
