Apparently, Trump has been bitching that the hearing yesterday 'only showed negative coverage'... of his failed Coup d'état to overthrow the United States government.

He didn't pull the cat's tail, he just held it tightly, and that's not illegal, is it?

What a successful coup d'etat would require is the support of a majority of the military, police agencies and the intelligence agencies. Of course Trump and the Jan 6th rioters had none of that. There was zero chance of a successful illegal change in US government. It was stupid but not nearly the danger that Pelosi and company would like to portray it as.

I can't say if it was a Coup D'Etat
Some say it was, while others say it wasn't. So lets...again...concentrate on who, why, what and whom Who attacked the Congress ? Why did they do it ? What did they gain by this attack ? Whom gave the order ? Markus

Yes but we should call it what it was, not what we want it to be.

Say, does attemtped murder not bring you into prison because the attempt failed?
A coup tried and failed nevertheless is an attempted coup d'etat. Which in this case corresponds to conspiracy, and treason against the constitutional order of the state. Its deeply worrying that many Americans just do not care for this. It is absolutely worrying. Trump tried to illegally steal the vote, that he tried a coup. That was beyond doubt back then, and still is today. And he still spreads his lies today. After one and a half year, he still spread his lies. Any many still believe them. Others simply forgive him. Or never cared at all, from beginning on. Just wnmated him to be succcessful, no mattwer how, no matter what, willing every way to get there. All these people - have betrayed, left behind, abandoned everything the American constitution, the law, the very idea behing this state's mere existence, stand for. Them all have replaces this with another form of law: the law of the strongest, the law of the jungle. Absolutely worrying.

All in the point of view. For me, Trump tried to make a self coup and it doesn't matter that it failed, or how stupid the attempt was. He still tried.

I'm one of these foreigners who gives a hiccup about who's sitting in the White House I am however not ignorant when it comes to following or breaking the laws.
The House has come to the conclusion it was a Coup D'Etat Now Trump has to take the punishment. Markus

That the left and the woke do not offer alternatives to be taken serious, but picks away at the system from the other end of the spectrum, does not help. After over one year, I stick to it: as long as no better candidate shows up, Biden is not the worst option. He ids not my ideal, but in the face of names beign on display right now in both parties, I think one can live with him. That the polarization in the US blocks him to death, is not his fault, but in the end, directly and indirectly: Trump's. Midterm elections I cannot see to become an opportunity for joy for the Dems. ---------------- Achse des Guten certainly is a website that is not shy to use polemics at many times. But sometimes, they have good stuff, and sometimes they have a mix of both: true information but spiced with polemics. I wonder whether I can trust this text on California. It includes many direct links in the text, so I give the link to the German text and the translator links. If I would translate and post the text via DeepL as I usually do, the links would get lost, and Google does not that good a job in comparison (it also works erratic for me since I set my browser options so very tight and safer). Its a text about how very much fed up people in California seem to be with the consequences of "progressive politics". Politcal Earthquake in California https://www.achgut.com/artikel/polit...in_kalifornien For translating via entering website link: https://translate.google.de/ For translating better via entering the text, basted and copied: https://www.deepl.com/de/translator DeepL is much better, but does not translate website via link like Google can. I find it hard to believe what they write here. Is it real, or exaggerated?

The coup d'etat was the Democratic party taking over the government blowing a smoke screen it was Trump. Welcome to double digit inflation, soaring energy costs and soon a complete breakdown of the food network. More wars on the horizon with Hunter Biden porn movies to boot. Enjoy, sorry no popcorn, its being turned 22 pounds of corn into 1 gallon of Ethanol for renewable energy.

Biden throws Zelensky under the bus by starting the blame game over defeat in Ukraine.
Recall he has also said we will respond militarily against China over Taiwan. And he also demanded a regime change to replace Putin. So hopefully this Zelensky thing is just the ramblings of an old man who apparently forgot we've been preparing, training and equipping Ukraine for this war only for the last eight fek'in years now. https://censor-net.translate.goog/ua..._x_tr_pto=wapp Quote:

Yes, it was in fact a successful coup d'etat, successful because Obama's deep state makes the Mariana Trench look like a puddle. Obama is/was an evil genius.
