So...does this now finally count as a coup attempt? Albeit an incompetent and disorganized one.

Yes.

pretty much.

A costly lesson written in blood and regret, an all too common occurence...not limited to, the Twilight Zone.

The split-personality grifter just tweeted a video speech:

He ordered his fans to Washington, he sent them to the Capital; now he denounces them. There really is not an ounce of shame in this guy.

Current behavior of certain politicians should really be used in 2022. If anything simply to drag as many none voters out as possible.
Since all of this is quite serious to those of us that live in the areas that have deep experiences with dictatorships and coups. Since this is basically how it usually starts.

My local news conclude that probably nothing will happen to Trump. If they jail him that will almost surely cause the civil war. While just removing him is also quite tricky. There is only a few days left and that removal also carries certain risks. Plus he still has a fair support in the party and base. Therefore many will be quite vocal about all this but in practice probably nothing too big will happen on this front.

I think the better option is to censure and limit his executive power. With enough of his cabinet heads on board with this, as the heads of various executive departments, they could effectively tie his hands, limit him from doing anything too crazy a la Martin Sheen in The Dead Zone.

I assume they'll all resign before that comes to pass. Betsy DeVos already has.

ACAB and cop unions are the worst. Unions that represent working people have no business representing this scum.

"You’re not going to convince me that that many people voted for Joe Biden. Never for the rest of my life will you ever convince me of that."

Sounds like he would have liked to be part of the mob...

He may not have been but I'm 100% sure there were plenty of off duty cops and military.

These are on Parler.

and definitely stay a peaceful protest, not an attempted coup.

Honestly what did people think these lunatics were "training" for all these years with their "militia"(*cough* terrorist) camp retreats...?

January 20th they say?

The inauguration could be quite a "party".
