.marcambinder: Pres. Trump's GSA tells President-elect Biden the transition can begin. But let's not sugarcoat this failed coup.

by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to tamper with the certification.) It is also a felony to offer state legislators or presidential electors a thing of value to influence an official decision. Several election law experts wrote Monday that the conduct of Trump's attorneys is. Taken in aggregate, this is a political crime — the type that should trigger an impeachment — and an offense against the system itself.

The journalism professor within me, who came of age during a time when accusations of media bias carried more weight, thinks the press should be careful with the word"coup" because it could seem overly partisan. Won't the press lose credibility with Republicans if it gangs up on Trump's post-election machinations? But my wizened self disagrees with my former self.

Biden understands that the press's new moral grammar — the president lies; the president cheats on his taxes; the president stokes racial animosity — is a healthy development for journalism in its role as an institutional guardrail against authoritarianism.

marcambinder Okay now Trump is being accused of a coup when for four years the Democrats with the collusion of the media was doing it spending millions of the people’s money!!!

marcambinder GOP are so desperate they tried to take the gov. by coup

marcambinder Careful.

marcambinder The coup is 4 yrs old.

marcambinder Ah yes, the coup of recounting votes. MSDNC is a joke.

marcambinder He’s probably only letting JoeBiden in so he can blame the tail end of this out-of-control pandemic on “the far right extremists.” Not to mention all the shit plans he is likely hoarding to unleash on America while he detonates and walks away.

marcambinder Ignorant Democrat supporters remind me of Mina birds. Copying what they heard with no mental effort. Funny stuff. Polly want a cracker?

marcambinder Make sure the new administration gets ALL the records so the orange traitor can be seen by ALL what a true threat to our democracy he was. Then make sure his Gerrymandering Obstinate Pighead enablers are voted out for they had a hand in trying to destroy our country. Never forget

marcambinder If Biden were any other guy most of Trumps administration would be indicted Jan 21,21.

marcambinder History will read: THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!

marcambinder YES!!!! A million times YES!!

marcambinder A coup is illegal. Contesting potential election irregularities IN COURT is the antithesis of a coup, and the whole purpose of our courts. PS: After 4 years of the MSM screaming “collusion and election illegitimacy”, you can just sit down and wait a few weeks.

marcambinder Assuming Trump doesn’t end up in home confinement wearing an ankle bracelet, he will continue to have major influence over the GOP, and that’s terrible for the GOP and for America.

marcambinder Most everything you have a accused Trump of never happens. Even Democrats know that.

marcambinder The gop mocks our panic at what they’ve let our country become Any progress we have made (very little ) in being a more perfect union has been dashed and the gop think it’s laughable !! We have to do it without the gop !!

marcambinder He hasn't yet given up on a coup!

marcambinder You wanna see an attempted coup? Look at you liberals the past 4 years. You people need to take a good look at yourselves before making those claims against others. You even know you're lying and yet you still do it. Amazing.

marcambinder Ah Yes the coup that the media invented months ago. The coup that must be real because we invested so much into that narrative. The military may even need to remove Trump from the WH. The coup guys, this is a coup, we are witnessing the destruction of democracy. What a joke.

marcambinder wow

marcambinder It’s not over yet! It looks like Biden won but watch out for the flea flicker from the Trump team!! 🤔

marcambinder More projection from the left for certain.

marcambinder All traitors must be tried for treason!

marcambinder MSNBC loves to use the word COUP and ignores that our Constitution takes precedence over any such action. But that is not a great story for the so called Media to be clear about. Ashame after all this we will still have biased media reporting without presenting all the facts

marcambinder To keep America is called a failed Coup-pure nonsense.

marcambinder

marcambinder there are those who would argue that the coup came from the democrats. Look at their behavior from the moment Trump won. Joe Biden on video bragging about actually doing the same act for which Trump was impeached over accusations of having done is telling as well.

marcambinder RT

marcambinder This is why the media needs to be stopped, they’re disgusting

marcambinder We need the new administration to work on constitutional changes that prevent themselves and others from capitalizing on theweak links exposed by the despot realDonaldTrump

marcambinder 😂

marcambinder Still ongoing it's not over yet. He's still looking what he can do.

marcambinder 95% only bad news(

marcambinder Does anyone take this serious? Did y'all forget about the 2.5 years chasing the conspiracy theory known as Russian collusion?

marcambinder Trump for NUREMBERG!

marcambinder

marcambinder THANK U! It was a coup attempt, & it should be called out & shouted from the rooftops! Of all his b.s. (& there's been a ton) it's the most UN-AMERICAN thing of all. A US Pres initiating, & coercing others to take part in, a coup. Its treasonous! Pls report it, over & over & over

marcambinder Trump is a loser in so many ways! Eventually his voters will realize that Trump is nothing but a fraud as Senator Mitt Romney has said a number of times in the past. When they come to the conclusion that they were lied to, many will drift away from Trump and follow another!

marcambinder ✌🏽♥️🇺🇸 LOSER

marcambinder The saying “Always back the horse called Self Interest” has never been more poignant to sitting Republicans than now. Their own desperate attempts to protect themselves, their futures and not push back Trump demonstrates their ineffective ability to be truly loyal to the country!

marcambinder

marcambinder Let’s also not forget that Murphy used more text on her grievances than on her duties. This atmosphere of projecting blame is a tRump malady that has infected the entire gov’t apparatus. Accountability should return with prosecution of their misdeeds on 20 Jan 2021.

marcambinder Time to Close the Loopholes for another 'Coup' attempt by a President. We dodged a bullet!

marcambinder Americans should revolt that we have a Candidate picked by a Computer programmer for the Left! Not the voters!!

marcambinder God knows they tried!

marcambinder Coup? Such nonsense. The media wanted Trump to lock the WH doors and call out an Army to protect him. It was the MSM's wet dream. Same people knew from the beginning that wasn't going to happen. Insane MSM need to justify their stupidity by pretending Trump attempted one. Idiots.

marcambinder The media, like MSNBC, needs to be blamed for the Trump presidency. In 2016 they carried every rally he had. No other candidate got that kind of coverage.

marcambinder Media have FAILED the test of the past 4 years. Granted MSNCB has been better than most but still has had its failures.

marcambinder Trump had no choice, they would have been subpoenaed

marcambinder So proud Biden can begin his transition. Will be stunning and brave to have lgbTq+aip2 representation in the White House!

marcambinder Thank you so very much, indeed let’s call it for what it still is , he clearly is not giving an inch, we are undergoing a full coup attempt with the assistant of silence Republican Congress leaders

marcambinder His Last Tweet

marcambinder it was a failed coup. We also know that the GOP establishment, esp. the US GOP Senators, are hostile to representative democracy. They were complicit in the coup attempt; the fact they were all inept at coups does not make it less of a coup attempt.

marcambinder This was a test run, and we failed, y’all. Next one’s gonna be smarter. I mean, they have nowhere to go but up, from that dump, so...

marcambinder THE MEDIA IS THE MOST CORRUPT PATHETIC PIECE OF THIS WHOLE SHIT SHOW OF AN ELECTION! KARMAS A MUTHA, and what goes around comes around! You can tweet whatever you want but the smartest individuals are onto you!

Expert: America needs new safeguards addressing Trump-era issuesThe Donald Trump era shows that new safeguards are needed to protect our democratic processes, politics expert Kurt Bardella tells Dr. Jason Johnson. After the “trump error” would be more accurate. As usual, the gop screws things up, Dems come in to repair the damage, then the people forget and vote in the Republican again because of their fear tactics. We are in the middle of a 2nd attempted Coup D'etat since 1933. Even Morning Joe reported the 1st attempt over a year ago. 'The Business Plot'. Same goal. A Fascist Dictatorship. Gerald Macguire 1935, 'We need a Fascist government in this country'! JustJoanSLP Yes!
