> (...) He might have even thought it was possible on that day. In the end, he couldn't do it (...) I don't see how claiming that you believe a few challenges would pop up along the way can refute the fact that Trump's goal was to overthrow the democratic process to force himself into staying in power in spite of the election results. Quoting Mike Pence, on rejecting Trump's threats on Jan 6 insurrection: > "There are those in our party who believed that in my position as presiding officer over the joint session that I possess the authority to reject or return electoral votes certified by the states," Pence said. "But the Constitution provides the vice president with no such authority." https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pence-proud-his-jan-6-actions-despite-criticism-trump-2021-06-25/ https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pence-proud-his-jan-6-actio...

Huh? I said it was his goal. Your edit with Pence is confirming my point. Trump wanted to overthrow the government and his own appointees wouldn't go along with it because he wasn't offering enough assurance they'd get away with it. Re-read what I wrote.

  I don't think you were able to read or understand what I pointed out. It's immaterial what you thought was or was not possible. The relevant part is that the president of the US of A, along with his political party, thought it was possible to overthrow the elections they lost to preserve themselves in power, and executed their plan to overthrow the elections. That's what the Vice President stated. Which part do you want to deny? Even though the VP stated he intentionally rejected the president's plan, let's keep in mind that the president's plan also involved assassinating him along with members of Congress as part of his plan to overthrow the elections. Which part exactly do you not accept?

    What are you, looking for a fight? No one's disagreeing with you. I live in this country. I watched it on live TV. I have no doubt what his intentions were. There's no need to insult me and say I can't understand what you're talking about.
