I mean I'd consider organizing a coup to stop the peaceful transfer of power would certainly be considered a crime.

Yes indeed that would be a terrible crime. I am so glad it was not achieved, the US is fortunate that the government was able to fight off the insurectionists and lock up all those awful people. Although, a simmilar situation took place in Hong Kong but I guess those terrorist were on the right side of freedom, right?

  I really don't care what's happening outside the borders. It's pretty irrelevant. All I care about is a certain party here organized a coup and now threatening private players of dire consequences if they followed through with the subpoena. (Laughably, they did the same thing 4 years back to try to bury a political opponent. Nothing happened. https://twitter.com/robertjdenault/status/1433070828992802817?s=20 https://twitter.com/robertjdenault/status/143307082899280281... )

    If the Democrats really believe that their opponents organized a coup then the US has bigger problems ahead. It is possible that the Republican members encouraged a political protest that unfortunately turned violent and got out of hand but that is not a coup and is no worse than the Democrats fundraising to bail out BLM rioters. I wouldn't be supprised if Congress awards themselves medals for surviving the "Great Insurection of Jan 6th." What a bunch of calamity callers.

      It's not really my place to "Red Pill" You but in this case I will make an exception. Two weeks ago President Biden told the world that the Afgan army had over 300000 troops and the Taliban only had 80000 and that Afghanistan was not lost. Yesterday he came out and said that if the US had stayed it would have required thousands of troops and cost many lives. How can a critical thinker square those two statements? Unless You have bought into the propaganda being spewed by the colluding fascist corporate media You would realize that the "Real Coup" took place long before Jan 6th and involved Washington insiders, Leftist subverts and never gave the outsider who by the way was who actually negotiated the withdrawl from Afghanistan...Pres #45

        The government the U.S. has been building for the past 20 years at the cost of 3,500+ American lives and over $2.5 trillion? It collapsed in 4 days. What a waste. Afghanistan became a "forever war" because there wasn't a good time to pull out. There never is. As far as I can tell what became the primary purpose of the mission in Afghanistan was to make the Military Industrial Complex a lot of money. From that standpoint the mission was an incredible success.

        I just used Afghanistan and the lies being told about it as an example because it is currently fresh in peoples memory. There are countless examples of the twisted collusion that has been taking place since the wrong guy won the election back in 2016. Once You see through the BS propaganda one time it stops working on You.

        I think it goes back at least as far as the wrong guy won the election in 1968. We've been on this path for a while.
