It is not normal for members of Congress to take part in a coup

[malaise]

I don’t want to hear that investigating Members of Congress is unprecedented. So is participating in a coup.
Lock them up! That is all.

[Mary in S. Carolina]

1. Thanks Malaise

It is my understanding that if they are found guilty of sedition, they go to prison and are removed from Congress.

3. Coups are frequently staged by people within a government. Just hasn't happened here,

until now.

My dim memories serve up an Alex Haig who tried to do a soft coup while Reagan was incapacitated. Of course this involved repuglicons. And reagun was always incapacitated. That's how "they" want it.

4. I remember that

[BidenRocks]

17. I think that was just

a Dr. Strangelove type response from a military moron.
Sure didn't go far, did it?

[ChazInAz]

20. "I'm in charge here, now."

21. I have the football, as I recall. nt

6. Exactly, malaise!

7. Nicely put. Whole strategy of the Big Lie is to normalize it and thereby normalize Sedition Day.

All unravelling before our eyes.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Amen

[Stuart G]

9. Yes, Lock Them Up..!!!

[FakeNoose]

10. Exactly right!

Lock them up, but investigate them first

[LiberalFighter]

11. That needs to be stressed.

12. What would happen to a young, undocumented Muslim immigrant man who attempted a coup?

That's what should happen, at the very least, to these esteemed members of Congress.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

22. This.

[dchill]

13. They need to be gone.

Gone from Congress. Gone from society.

14. Imagine a competently functioning DOJ...

Now, I'm not implying that they are incompetent. We just know very little about how they are dealing with the insurrection. If we can assume that they are competent, then we can broadly infer a few things. First, that they already know about the participations of members of Congress because they can access phone records from the NSA, if no one else, and they can do it in complete secrecy. Second, the DOJ has known how massive this conspiracy is, and how complicated, how complex, how appallingly frightful these revelations have been. THEY HAVE TO KNOW ALL OF THE ANSWERS BEFORE THEY ASK THE QUESTIONS of the defendants and the witnesses for the public record.

If we do not have faith that the DOJ is doing its job, and we are right, then we should admit that the nation has already dissolved and that what we are seeing right now is Potemkin Governing. It's just window dressing, and our democracy is only skin-deep. So if we do not have faith that the DOJ is doing its job, we must be wrong. There are too many leaders who are fighting to prevent an overthrow. So the Constitution must still be viable.

15. It is not normal for the President of the United States to take part in a coup

[malaise]

19. That too

It’s seriously shocking that this is not said every time his name is mentioned.

[Poiuyt]

16. I have a feeling that there are a lot more Congresspeople than Jordan who were involved

in the coup attempt.

[onecaliberal]

18. The traitor media is in on it with recons.

Criminals and their allies.

[smirkymonkey]

23. You would think that would be a given.

But not in this effed up Twilight Zone world.
