Trump has been engaged in a several-years-long attempt to undermine the institutions of the US government and it shows no sign of abating
Trump’s attempted coup against the US continues. We are now in phase three.
Phase one was his refusal to concede the loss of the 2020 election and his big lie that the election was “stolen” from him, without any basis in fact.
Trump’s actions in phase one were not illegal, but they were immoral. They violated the norms that every president before Trump had dutifully followed.
Phase two was his plot to overturn the result of the 2020 election.
Phase two was hatched even before election day. On 31 October 2020, Trump’s confidant Steve Bannon told associates that Trump planned to declare that he won and claim Joe Biden’s expected victory fraudulent. Audio footage recently available shows that two days before the election, Trump’s lieutenant Roger Stone was already planning for alternative slates of electors.
Then came Trump’s efforts to strong-arm election officials in swing states to alter votes, persuade the vice-president Mike Pence to reject the certification of electors, get the justice department to find fraud in the election process, come up with slates of fake electors, persuade Republican members of Congress to reject the certification, defame and intimidate poll workers and invite supporters to Washington on the day of the certification – which led inexorably to the violent attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.

Amen x 1 million.
Pray every day for Trump and his family.

Dwarf tossing needs to make a comeback.
Up yours Robert Reich
Robert Reichhhhhhh couldn’t get a role in the new woke Snow White.
No one wants dwarfs anymore.
This Hobbit along with Tom Steyer have been speaking out against Trump since he first announced he was running. I assume they are butt hurt because Trump kicked their asses in a real estate deal.
Back in 2017 Steyer went so far as to even pay for a huge billboard in Times Square against Trump calling for his impeachment for bringing the USA “to the brink of nuclear war, obstructing justice at the FBI and that he had taken money from foreign governments and threatened to shut down news organisations”.
So pretty much what Biden is doing today but Steyer seems to have no issue with
Seditious conspiracy began with Russiagate and continues unabated. Sincerely hope Trump has a legal team drawing up charges against the Rat cabal...for use by a DOJ with some balls next time around.
It is not always true, but in Reich’s case it is: small man, small intellect.
Wow.
I guess the little runt has forgotten all about Al Gore and his ‘’hanging chads’’ bit.
Rule one: Always accuse your opponent of the same misconduct you are doing.
How cute, the lil midget from Bubba the Rapist’s regime is still alive ? How did he manage to reach the keys on the computer keyboard to type out this cognitive dissonance drivel ?
The Guardian doesn’t care. It’s a Stalinist rag.
Why is this crap on the side bar?

Another old Clintonoid/Obamatron resurfaces to throw mud at Trump. They must be really worried about something.

“The first federal indictment is the strongest of the four. The charges over the mishandling of classified documents are based on established law and firm evidence.”
I am not a lawyer, but I don’t see this one as likely to succeed. For a number of reasons.
I’m still in a state of euphoria after the sweetheart plea deal was kiboshed.
Killing sonny boy’s precious skate free deal?
Hah.
Anything can happen.
