Who knew Mike Pence was the only thing standing between a whiny pisspants loser ass president overthrowing democracy to satisfy his own ego?

Still amazes me we got to this point where a reality tv star, a con man, a failed businessman, got elected to the highest office in the land and plenty of people were willing to follow him down any road he went, including a failed attempt to blatantly shit in the face of democracy. People literally died in the insurrection, blood all over this guy's hands, and people are still willing to look the other way. Simply amazing.

Yeah it is not forgotten nor will it ever be diminished in my mind. Trump tried to overthrow America. Walked away after it failed but first told them he loved them. Now he is thinking about running for President again? I cant even roll through a stop sign. But this guy attempted a coup? In what other world would that be possible?

PS if anyone is going to post that he had nothing to do with it or that wasn’t his intention get lost in advance.

I also don’t wanna hear Biden or any other President ever in the past or the future is a close second as far as bad presidents. The man tried to overthrow our government and our democracy. It was a coup. A planned coup. He might as well been standing up with his head out a tank leading the way. But we all know Trump would never lead anyone into battle physically because he is a pussy. He couldn’t even go pose at a church with a bible without the Army. What a fuckin pussy. Not discounting his bone spurs of course. [emoji849]

WASHINGTON — Even by the standards of President Donald Trump, it was an extraordinary Oval Office showdown. On the agenda was Trump’s desire to install a loyalist as acting attorney general to carry out his demands for more aggressive investigations into his unfounded claims of election fraud.

On the other side during that meeting on the evening of Jan. 3 were the top leaders of the Justice Department, who warned Trump that they and other senior officials would resign en masse if he followed through. They received immediate support from another key participant: Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel. According to others at the meeting, Cipollone indicated that he and his top deputy, Patrick F. Philbin, would also step down if Trump acted on his plan.

Trump’s proposed plan, Cipollone argued, would be a “murder-suicide pact,” one participant recalled. Only near the end of the nearly three-hour meeting did Trump relent and agree to drop his threat.

Cipollone’s stand that night is among the new details contained in a lengthy interim report prepared by the Senate Judiciary Committee about Trump’s efforts to pressure the Justice Department to do his bidding in the chaotic final weeks of his presidency.

The report draws on documents, emails and testimony from three top Justice Department officials, including the acting attorney general for Trump’s last month in office, Jeffrey A. Rosen; the acting deputy attorney general, Richard P. Donoghue, and Byung J. Pak, who until early January was U.S. attorney in Atlanta. It provides the most complete account yet of Trump’s efforts to push the department to validate election fraud claims that had been disproved by the FBI and state investigators.

The interim report, expected to be released publicly this week, describes how Justice Department officials scrambled to stave off a series of events during a period when Trump was getting advice about blocking certification of the election from a lawyer he had first seen on television and the president’s actions were so unsettling that his top general and the House speaker discussed the nuclear chain of command.

“This report shows the American people just how close we came to a constitutional crisis,” Sen. Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., and chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. “Thanks to a number of upstanding Americans in the Department of Justice, Donald Trump was unable to bend the department to his will. But it was not due to a lack of effort.”

Trump says Witch hunt, burp, fake news….fart

Honestly people really have no idea what this guy tried to do. What his sick twisted mind is capable of.

It is what makes him far worse than any other President ever. No other President would entertain the idea of being a king/dictator/autocrat. They wouldn’t want it for themselves or for the country. There is no doubt in my mind that Trump wants it. He is trying to confuse his base about democrats and democracy, and honestly I think he has. He has convinced them that democrats are a threat to democracy so that he can kill democracy. So twisted.

If this can be proven ,he needs to go to jail!

Paul Gosar assured Jan. 6 protest organizers they would get a 'blanket pardon' while they were planning rallies: report



Rep. Paul Gosar offered protest organizers a "blanket pardon" to motivate them to plan rallies on Jan. 6, reported Rolling Stone.

Gosar told the organizers he had spoken with former President Donald Trump about the pardons, which were never realized.

The GOP congressman has defended US Capitol rioters before, saying they were "peaceful protestors."

GOP congressman Paul Gosar encouraged pro-Trump rally organizers to plan protests in Washington DC on January 6 by telling them they would get a "blanket pardon" for another, unrelated investigation, according to two of the protest's planners.

Gosar had repeatedly assured them of the pardons, to the point where they believed it was a "done deal," they told Rolling Stone in an exclusive released Sunday. Both organizers have been speaking with the congressional committee investigating the US Capitol riots, per Rolling Stone, and were kept anonymous. It is unclear what the original unrelated investigation mentioned by the pair was.




This is the same asshole who released that video and then said it was harmless , denied it said his staff did it, once his punishment is handed down he re posts the video . chico this is your republican party!

When contacted, Paul Gosar offered up this defense; "nuh-uh, you can't prove it. Nah nah nah nah boo-boo, stick yo' head in doodoo."
