Seems like the radical democrats have their modern 1984 villain from Orwell's novel, Elon Musk, to shout their two minutes of hate.

If he can do to/for FedGov what he did to/for Twitter/X, Elon gets a hall pass.

A “coup” the American people voted for?

The dismatling of institutionalized looting the US Treasury to give the people back what is theirs is a coup?

sounds more like a revolution

Raskin is an idiot.

A coup is what happened in 2020 when the democrats stole the election.

Coup? Coup? What friggin coup?

If they go to remove Trump, that’s a coup. Removing hired Marxist in a shadow government is NOT A COUP. It’s Patriotism!!

"sounds more like a revolution"

I would say it sounds like the dawn of a new era after a revolution.

Is that a new achronism for “draining the swamp?

I don’t think they know what the word “coup” means.

I thought the Left finally realized that “Nazi”, “dictator”, “fascist” and “coup” didn’t work anymore. Let’s see if ramping up this crazy works to get MS-DNC’s ratings back up. Maybe the Left still wants another hit of fascist porn.

That is it exactly.

I have come to believe USAID was a corrupt money-bucket-full-of-holes that people, foreign and domestic, friendly and enemy, were sticking their hands under to enrich themselves.

I have been reading things that indicate Trump knew exactly where to send his boarding party to lock people out while things get looked over.

I find it fascinating that all the usual suspects are howling with outrage, and even the vile Vindemann showed up at the “protest” yesterday. Gee. Wonder what he was doing there.

And I saw the putrid Victoria Nuland made her exit from public life today.

Things that make you go “Hmmmmmmm”.
