To repeat the obvious: “we are a nation of laws, not of men ( who may get pissed off at what someone else says).

or conspiracy if the idea is to overturn the results of a lawful election. Especially if you bring an idea like that to the President.

Urging President Trump to impose martial law to overturn the election is a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 2385

Unbeknownst to every "My Pillow" owner and user, it has embedded mind control built into each one which subjects the user to programming as they sleep. Dr. Evil of Pillow will unleash his mind controlled zombies to target and menace all who oppose his will.

Gee that's a great conspiracy I got © Hey QAnon!!!!

An ex crack addict who shills shitty pillows on cable TV and right wing radio while wearing a big cross around his neck shows up at the White House with a fantasy plot for a coup titled "saving the United States and the Constitution" or some such nonsense and gets a personal meeting with the president of the United States. If I wrote that sentence five years ago it wouldn't have passed the laugh test-now it actually happened. "I can't believe this actually happened" is an apt description for Trump's presidency, isn't it?
