Jamie Raskin is a "lawmaker"?

You could fooled me.

His mother and father were both self-proclaimed communists.

Today he is Pelosi's hardest working stooge.

“The attack left four people dead on Jan. 6. One Capitol Police officer who fought with rioters died the next day. About 800 people have been charged with crimes relating to the attack.”

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Scream racism at anything you don’t like or which slows your agenda.

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Passionately attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. “

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Repeat.

This is so stupid. A coup is an overthrow of a duly elected or otherwise legitimate government. Trump was disputing the duly elected part, which is proper, and within his rights as the candidate that was duly screwed by a cabal of oligarchs.

“We don’t have a lot of experience with coups in our own country and we think of a coup as something that takes place against a president,” Raskin said.

But Jan. 6, 2021, was different, he said, because it did not involve the military or other faction attacking the president.

“It’s what the political scientists call a self-coup ... it’s a president fearful of defeat, overthrowing the constitutional process,” Raskin said.

A “coup”, LOL, that gives be a belly laugh. The Left goes so far left they become a laughingstock, the epitome of non-seriousness.

The actual coup began in 2016 and continued through 11/20.

Durham has solid evidence of the 2016 coup against the Trump presidency. They are trying to get out ahead of the grand jury. This is all orchestrated to save Hillery and her goon squad.

but in a statement then Trump said he had never threatened or spoken to anyone about a coup.

That's because he kept the details of his coup secret knowing what a brilliant person Raskin is and that he would uncover the deep plot. Trump was so sneaky about it, he hid his plan from everyone, including the rally attendees by telling them this was "peaceful". Now that's sneaky.

What this fool can’t reason is that if Trump did attempt a coup, he would not have failed and Raskin’s sorry ass wouldn’t be here to say those words!

Another pathetic attempt by leftists to deflect from the catastrophe that is the U.S. economy. It won’t work.

Oh, the speech Trump gave that explicitly said to protest, but to do so PEACEABLY. The dems still fantasize about spinning something up about THAT speech, eh?

Yep, this is all kabuki theater that will glut the media through the summer while people are stuck at home because gas is too expensive to allow vacation travel.

THAT is a really interesting point. A formal coup would not have simply involved a crowd of people being let into the Congressional hallways. A coup, as staged by Trump, would have by character and necessity been far more complex and would have been successful. The one thing we know with absolute certainly is Trump did not stage a coup.

Then-President Donald Trump attempted a coup on Jan. 6, 2021

And right there is where little Richard loses the game.

The world knows president potato head did not get "81 million votes."

The only ones still chanting that fairy tail are the more evil of the progs as they are intentionally destroying the United States of AMERICA.
