Or his face either for that matter
Way too skinny. I've noticed how Trump humpers try to draw him as buff when he's anything but.

(1,910 posts)It is what it is, he looked thinner, tan, happy as hell, without a care in the world New Years eve. As did, Gaetz, Don Jr. Melania, Rudy, Jared, Ivanka.
These people are not the least bit worried and nothing from the history of DOJ or any other law enforcement body has said they should.

(1,910 posts)Geez, how long we going to wait for any Trump or Gaetz or Rudy or Bannon to face punishment? These people can sue and delay for ever and meanwhile are living fine lives.
Once the midterms flip the House these investigations simply get flipped into all the Repug flavor of the day.....now its Pelosi's stock deals, Hunter Bidens art, Afghan withdrawal, etc. They will investigate everything and none of this 1-6 stuff will matter.
Folks its about Repug great messaging they used in VA, crime, borders, inflation, woke lefties teaching kids in school that b eing white is bad and they have no gender. Of course its nonsense, but it works and will work a whole lot in 2022.
No one but us cares about the coup, 1-6, or if Trump is punished or not. It stinks, but that is reality.

(18,123 posts)Latin America has a history of autogolpes, or self-coups. This is the term for efforts by sitting executives to enhance or retain power by overturning electoral outcomes or by unconstitutionally gutting the power of other branches of government. Trumps measures to overturn the elections since November 3 constitute a coup, as they involve illegal usurpation of state power, even when it may not involve the use of force. Yet it is a self-coup because it is perpetrated by the head of government rather than military officers or others against that chief executive.
--snip--
Trumps behavior constitutes a self-coup since he has sought to undermine the integrity of the November 3 election and has sought to overturn the results of an election. He urged voters to illegally vote twice; he sought to disenfranchise voters; he sought to coerce officials to alter the vote results. On January 6, Trump explicitly urged the mob to walk down to the Capitol, to demand that Congress do the right thing, to show strength, and to take back our country.

They have been very clear as the evidence has mounted about Trump's lies. Unlike the MSM.

(6,265 posts)would not have stopped executions if opposition leaders had been found. The 'mob' was already a dog with rabies. It was an attempt to overthrow an election. Of a legally elected POTUS. If that's not a coup attempt...well I just don't know what is...
