!!! Per former Trump Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, Trump told him DC National Guard *should* be activated as requested by DC mayor Muriel Bowser.....

Trump said, "Do whatever is necessary to protect the demonstrators, executing their constitutionally protected rights"

1. Whatever it takes.......

Sounds like a coup to me.

2. And there it is... folks!

3. I guess I'm going to have to read our constitution one more time.

I really don't remember reading anything in there about our "constitutionally protected rights" including coups.

I do, however, remember that treason is mentioned quite a few times.

4. So he wanted to use the military to protect a citizens overthrow of the govt.

They were demanding an end to the constitution and doing so by illegal means.

5. he said 10,000 troops would be needed.

To protect the insurrectionists, we now know he meant.

6. And with all that power, he still failed.

Trump is one world class fuckup.

7. Not by much....

If he had more sycophants in the upper echelons
of the armed forces, things may have been different. He clearly would have used the armed forces if he could have.

It would have been Myanmar 2.0.

8. Fortunately there's no nice runner-up prize for a failed coup

Just ask the magats who threw their lives away to wallow away in some prison hellhole.

9. why hasn't

the former jerk been arrested yet? I guess Garland's department is looking into everything.

10. The Former guy operated like a Mafia Don

Michael Cohen told us as much. This means he is careful enough to avoid creating evidence. That's why he calls everyone when he wants something dirty done (like the GA Secretary of State).

11. I call BS. "Executing their constitutionally protected rights" is way beyond his comprehension level

12. T***p wanted the military to *join* the Insurrection. NT
