Donald Trump signals his coup attempts aren't over

The violent mob Donald Trump sent to attack and loot our national Capitol receded during the night, but his efforts to overthrow our government continue. Trump signaled in a Tweet that even after he leaves office his criminally seditious behavior will persist.

This is "only the beginning of the fight to make America Great Again!" Trump declared at 3:49 AMThursday an aide Tweeted after Twitter locked Trump's own account for spreading dangerous lies.

While Trump's middle of the night statement also promised a peaceful transition of power when Joe Biden is inugurated on Jan. 20, it came without a critical word about the chaos and violence Wednesday by fanatical Trumpians in California, Kansas, Georgia, Oregon, Washington and Utah.

These enemies of America should be shown no mercy in prosecutions by our Justice Department.
Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri. Among others, defended or excused Trump's solicitation to mob violence. Six senators and a majority of House Republicans voted to reject the certified election results from several states. I think Hawley should be ousted by the rest of the Senate, not the least because Hawley gave a raised fist in solidarity with the mob as he entered the Capitol Wednesday.

Trump's baseless claims that he won by a landslide in November -- for which he produced no evidence in 60 failed lawsuits, -- are believed by a large share of Republicans. A poll during the siege found that 45% of Republicans support the mob attack while more than two-thirds of the GOP believe the violence and looting pose no threat to our democracy.

1. He will never concede.

[Stuart G]

4. Perhaps Trump won't concede, but his total legacy has been solidified forever in the last 48 hours..

A speech which causes a riot that killed people will never be forgotten.

[cilla4progress]

2. That's why he must be

Imprisoned.

[Turbineguy]

3. In Guantanamo

[2naSalit]

15. +1

[BainsBane]

5. If he keeps it up after he leaves office

He can easily be arrested. He'll no longer have the office to protect him.

[Squinch]

6. Suspend the Aide's account. And every Aide who spreads his filth.

[Ponietz]

7. His Royal Excrescence doubles down EVERY time.

There are, STILL, good people playing wait-and-see or “looking forward”.

[TheRealNorth]

8. This sounds like an endorsement of what the MAGA brownshirts did

And a call for more violent acts.

[Vivienne235729]

9. EXACTLY why we need to enact the 25thA...right now. And then prosecute him to the fullest extent of

the law for his long list of crimes.

[BlueIdaho]

10. The man is a pathological liar.

Nothing he says can be trusted. He should be under house arrest and all his social media toys should be removed. On Election Day his citizenship should be revoked and he should be sent to Russia to live out his days.

[MoonRiver]

11. Russia might disagree with that.

[BlueIdaho]

17. I bet you are correct!

He is of no further use to them.

[roamer65]

12. He's gonna be busy trying to fight off NY AG Letitia James very soon.

She’s gonna make life hell for him and the spawn.

[Midnightwalk]

13. Yesterday wasn't the end

Only the beginning of the fight?!?

Some concession.

He needs to be removed and arrested now.

[smirkymonkey]

14. I knew it.

I said so right here yesterday. He's not done yet, and he won't be unless we physically stop him.

[Blue Owl]

16. Shut the fuck up Donny you fat piece of shit
