1000 Days And Counting - Trump & The Longest Ongoing Coup In History, Or Is It A Revolution? Or both?

 

Trump rails against impeachment inquiry as his supporters see a 'coup' (Oct. 10, 2019)

The American coup against Donald Trump (22 hours ago)

 

It sure feels like a coup. However, Coup d'Etat's typically occur suddenly and attempt to remove/replace a leader (or several leaders), whereas a Revolution often occurs over a longer period of time in an attempt to change the fundamental system of government and society at large.

It’s been at least 45 years, each and every time a Republican gets elected.

Scott Adams is all over the 'Hypnotic Coup'. People are hypnotized by the media to believe our magnificent President is a criminal

Actually, it was always my view that the election of Donald Trump was the closest thing we would get to a non-violent revolution in our lifetime.

The attempted coup is a counter-revolution.

Well... Look on the bright side. Nobody is being shot and there are not armies fighting.

Leaks continue to come from the White House, President Trump continues to be thwarted by the Left and Speaker Pelosi who is deliberately attacking this President, even if President Trump sneezes it is a impeachable offense.

Whoever the traitor is, hanging is the only solution to fit this crime.

It is amazing President Trump is doing so well in spite of the un-American, unconstitutional effort to remove him from a position that Americans voted him. This President is leading, is making progress on many issues, forging ahead regardless of the radical left debris and treason left in his way.

Ms. Pelosi doing what she does best...we know she can't govern

Ms. Pelosi doing what she does best...we know she can’t govern... yet she is third in line behind the vice President.

Perhaps she dreams of becoming the FIRST WOMAN President. She just needs to get rid of two old white dudes.

It’s certainly a coup, being disguised as an impeachment

What makes this a coup rather than a revolution is that many high level .gov officials (the “establishment”) are participating in it.

Think of it as a civilian rather than a military coup.

The coup plotters are using the tools of government and the mass media to overthrow the elected President by any means necessary.

That is a coup.

It is also treason.

The coup is just a bunch of crooks following the big money, a tsunami of unconstitutional federal taxes in this case.

Note that the House can make all the unconstitutional appropriations bills that it wants to. This is because the Founding States had established the Senate partly to kill such bills, bills that effectively steal state powers and uniquely associated state revenues.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

H O W E V E R…

The Senate’s job to act as a constitutional firewall to protect the states was totally defeated when the anti-constitutional republic Progressive Movement successfully spooked low-information citizens to twist the arms of their state lawmakers to ratify the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A) in 1913.

The bottom line is that misguided, constitutionally low-information voters are enablers of the anti-PDJT coup. Such voters abuse their 17A voting power by blindly electing crook senators that work in cahoots with the corrupt House to promise voters everything under the sun to win their votes.

The problem is that voters are clueless that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the power to tax and spend for most of the things that federal career lawmakers promise the voters.

”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)


In other words, misguided voters have been instrumental in unconstitutionally expanding the already unconstitutionally big federal government.

The remedy for voters to undo the damage that they have unthinkingly done to their constitutional republic…

Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will promise to fully support PDJT's vision for MAGA, now KAG.

New lawmakers also need to promise to support PDJT in working with Congress to surrender state powers that the feds have been stealing from the states for the last 70+ years back to the states.

And to make such changes permanent, patriots need to further support PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)

Don’t forget, none of this would have gone on for one instant WITHOUT a totally complicit MSM
