pat byrne, former CEO of overstock.com, claims he was at the 4.5hour WH meeting with flynn, powell, trump and other WH officials. byrne claims that it's absolutely false that military involvement was discussed but...... later claims that WH general counsel pat cippollone, who was at the meeting, is responsible for the leak to the NYT.

We only have to wait another 30 days. Let them cross the Rubicon, that's fine, we can arrest the whole bunch. If these lunatics think they have the backing of the military in a coup attempt, they're crazy.

Oh wait, they really are crazy.

I really wonder how you left wing lunatics think you're going to run a country with all the nonsense you believe.
The fact that you elected a man who is trying to push every action from a how-to manual for dictators should be concerning. Are you that poor a judge of character that when someone shows you their maniacal tendencies, you missed them? Or did you see them and just hope to be on the right side of his purge?

There is ZERO doubt in my mind that if Trump had the option, that he'd gladly make himself into the exact same type of murderous dictator that ends their life as exiled international criminals.

Believe what you want, we don't care. You can break the law and you can face the music. Otherwise, let the crying commence.

While fortunately Trump is receiving some push back for his dictatorship goals in the government and military, that will not stop him from continuing to install loyalists in his self made echo chamber / swamp. The desperate, delusional, angry, cornered, power hungry conspiracy theorist is encouraging his 72 million voters to protest our democratic process and the will of the majority of Americans.

Trump:
"Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"

But hypothetically, I do find it fascinating to think about what would happen if a President had the full backing of his cabinet (Trump does not) , the leadership at the Pentagon (Trump does not) and perhaps either a majority in the Senate or House who all wanted him to stay (Trump doesn’t have this).

Who would force the transfer of power then? Now that would be scary. Biden or Harris would likely have all that in place in 2024. The only thing stopping them from not stepping down would be themselves.
Poor Trump the victim, maybe you should look at why he doesn't have the full backing of his cabinet, and why the Pentagon Leadership won't go along and why not just Congress but the Senate are not rooting for him...

Maybe because all of the above feel a sense of responsibility to America and the American People and they aren't going down the path of illegalities that is leading to his nuclear option.

Hypothetically Speaking....

Who are all the imbeciles with TDS going to rant about once Trump is gone? I think we all know the answer to that: they will turn to whomever they can slander, lie about, and belittle. AKA: you, me, and America at large.

By the way, the only people who have "crossed the rubicon" would be the incoming tyrants.
Its a good thread. Its useful for adding to the ignore list.
Anybody who believes this drivel.... You would think after 4 years they would have figured out they look really stupid quoting these anonymous sources from CNN. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 300 times and I'm a Democrat.

He's a clinical narcissist and a con man. Is he murderous? No. Would he do anything to stay in power short of killing a bunch of people? Yes. He would use every political means necessary to stay in office, ethics morals or democracy be damned, and unfortunately it seems the vast majority of his followers hate the opposite side so much they they are on board with it.

Yes, that is how Hitler came to power. Trump is not Hitler on policy, but his political and media tactics 100% are.

I'll be waiting, longer than 4 years unless the Trump is elected again, for a President to try to rule by fiat.

This is getting really scary. He's apparently only listening to dangerous fringe lunatics now. Trump talking about using the military to throw out the votes and keep himself installed as president.

Then you have blood thirsty war monger Michael Flynn telling Trump to "cross the rubicon" which refers to Julius Cesar becoming a dictator and bringing Imperialism to Rome. Oh and he was talking to foreign spies again!

It seems what they want and what they care about is American blood in the streets.
Trump is a lunatic and I am not surprised at the way he is talking or him listening to the crazies. Less than a month now.
