Donald Trump Is Attempting a Coup We Must Have a Special Prosecutor
Stop laughing.
Trump takes us for chumps. The Republic is nothing to him but a crap game. And he loads the dice.
In this case, he signs the letter dismissing Comey and hands it to his personal bodyguard to take over to the FBI office. But Comey isnt there. Hes in Los Angeles, where he will hear on television that he has been dumped and at first think its a practical joke. We are not making this up.

(33,643 posts)He's a freakin' Congress-Critter, not an LEO (isn't he?) ... and a highly-partisan one at that.
A move like that ... it really would have to be the last straw, wouldn't it?
I mean, of course McTurtle will go along with it, but not 1 Dem will, and I have to think we can peel off 3 R's in the Senate and refuse to confirm.
Or is there no confirmation process for FBI Director?

(5,815 posts)also among the first to wrap themselves in the flag. The ones who claim loudly to be defending our core principles and values. They are either active participants in the coup or standing idly by while others do the dirty work. Yes, Republicans in Congress, I am looking at you.
We are being sold out and our country's governing body is being undermined. Yes, there are outside people but the rot is from within. How much more do we have to see and hear that they have done before we rise up and throw them out? I can't believe that the people duped by tRump can listen to him deceive them with lies and distortions and not get even a little suspicious. Surely not all of them are that dumb?
What else does tRump have to do (or his minions) before there is a massive resistance to the overthrow of our government? The stunt with the Russians in the Oval Office was no trick. No accident. It was an in your face insult to all of us saying, "We've won. You lost!" Oh, yeah. Says who?? You and which army??
Time to unite and rise up!
