Yeah definitely not a coup 😂 I’d say that pretty much contradicts what, for most normal folk, constitutes an attempted coup in that Trump was looking to use legal channels to overturn the election result. A coup d’etat being commonly defined as an illegal act (as well as being violent, that violence normally involving the army, or at least parts of it the clue being the odd tank rumbling around). You, though, are not normal. So I guess you’ll pursue your silliness.

I thought it was just far right people, thats actual far right people rather than the Momo definition of anyone who says something he doesn't like being far right I would have thought if it was actual coup he might have tried using the army being as how he was commander in chief, no doubt some of those at the capitol building were there to cause serious disorder and more and were egged on by President Baldricks cunning plans but I doubt apart from trashing any sort of legacy he could have claimed (and not starting a war and seemingly an improval in relations between israel and middle eastern states is a pretty low bar) the impeachment wont go anywhere.

I watched the Trump Show last night on catch-up.
Jesus Christ! His spiritual adviser was terrifyingly bonkers on election night!
Be pleased he's gone, that things appear to have calmed down a lot now, and pray that he doesn't come back or, more realistically, that some other Republican nutjob doesn't try to tap into his support. Hopefully, there is no-one else out there with the kind of personality cult 'appeal' that Tango had to do that, but we'll see.

From the point of view of lots of people though, you can see it's through the courts that he filled with his people. At least one of the supreme court seats and many lower court seats were stolen through unprecedented political manoeuvring, making them illegitimate. Of course, you might say it's not a coup by some definition, but you can see that it was an attempt to seize power and properly put an end to full democracy in America, I don't think there's any serious debate about that.

Absolutely. He was an isolationist president who never really concentrated on any kind of foreign policy. He probably realised he was under qualified to take on such a role, mind. To give him credit, he tried to open up a dialogue with North Korea, but was eventually made a fool of, by their leader . However, he didn’t start any wars, unlike Bush, for example. Who I think will have a far more destructive legacy, when judged, in years to come.

Currently remains eligible to run again in 2024. Not sure if his potential criminal charges change that if he is found guilty. As an inspiration to supporters who carried pipe bombs and hand ties to the Capitol and a very unsavory individual with a 'Camp Auschwitz' T-Shirt you'll have to forgive those who don't quite share in the laughter. However, we can all at least look forward to a little more normality over the pond for the next 4 years before the circus inevitably rolls in.

Yes, the vultures are circling but nothing concrete as of yet hence why they are 'potential' and in more than 1 state. Personally the easier option would have been impeachment as an easier lance to the boil; but an innocent man has nothing to fear. Iran? Do you know something the rest of us don't 🤔

When it comes to the message of Black Lives Matter, I think the awareness from last year had focused some minds and across sport, TV and in a way politics has made some improvements, but clearly judging by your pretty abysmal attempt at an acronym we have some way to go.

Not sure anyone you're referring to has made any comment on the inevitably political result of his second impeachment! Impeachment does seem like a pointlessly political exercise... Btw, would that angry mob be the one that stormed the Capitol?!

It will be a bad idea for the Democrats if it leads to a Trump resurgence which traces its birth to him turning an emphatic defeat (ie the election) into a moral victory (ie success in the impeachment). It might be a good thing for them though if Trump’s profile gets a boost it could split the GOP in two with the pro and anti Trump factions as war with each other. Time will tell.

What are you? A faceless messageboard poster replying to another faceless messageboard poster asking them to 'don't cry' over the facts of Donald Trump's impeachment trial and the actions of his supporters. Have I missed anything or do you have something you have a burning desire to share with us all? Not sure where education comes into it; I finished education following college (BTEC National if you must know) so I don't know what you class as educated, maybe you would like to share that aswell and the reasons why it is important? But I did have enough education to know that it's you're*.

It might be a good thing for them though if Trump’s profile gets a boost it could split the GOP in two with the pro and anti Trump factions as war with each other. Time will tell. Difficult to know what it means for both parties, really. The Republicans will have to decide whether they need to appeal to moderates/undecided who, by and large, will not be impressed by rioters storming the Capitol, in order to get them on board with the already fully paid up Trump Republicans, in order to avoid a potential split in the party. If Trump decides to run again (or, more likely imo) endorse a candidate to run with his blessing, you'll probably see the moderate Republicans fall into line. One of his family or another Republican like Ted Cruz who has already signalled his willingness to embrace the Trump core, perhaps. On the subject of impeachment it seems a pointless political charade which is probably never going to result in a President being found guilty owing to the 2/3 majority required. It'd be better to get rid of the farce entirely and make the President subject to the laws of the country in the same way as anyone else.
