He's going to attack the capital. Again.
Attacking the capital was a last-ditch hail mary move, and only viable when he controlled the military.
They're going to use baseless conspiracies to try to fuck with the election certification enough (with an assist from the courts) to force a contingent election in the House, where they'll likely have a majority of state delegations.
Well, that's terrifying
The whole Republicans house is in on it again. They have a multi-prong plan to seize the White House, from voter suppression to elector rigging, gerrymandering and outright violent intimidation. The coup will be much better planned this time.
Yeah, but if you know that then certainly the current administration knows that.
Last I checked Biden still controlled the NSA, CIA, and FBI.
Do y'all really thing something being "legal" is all it takes?
Love to see the face of Jan 6 2.0 rioters, when they realized someone in power actually wants to stop them this time
They don't need a riot this time. Mike Johnson will refuse to recognize the results and then the house will vote for the next president with each state receiving one vote. Republicans control a majority of house delegations, so they will vote for Trump.
The riot was a smokescreen. It was to buy time to strong arm the state legislatures and convince Mike Pence to not certify the results. With Johnson on board, they can forget the smokescreen and just steal the election in plain sight.
They only need the house of representatives to steal a presidential election. The only thing that could stop it is some house Republicans voting with Democrats to remove Mike Johnson as speaker. (Or, I guess, finding their conscience and voting for Harris as a state delegation.
You made me think of Vincent Vega, beause this is how I feel about that prospect.
Bring it on, traitors.
